Choose Success — Edit

July 28th, 2010 Filed under: Choose Success -- Edit by admin

For many years now I’ve been refining, revising, and editing every aspect of my life, including my business, with very positive results. It’s an ongoing process, as most good things are, and it takes commitment. If you want to be successful AND enjoy your success, you need to edit.

Let me clarify that editing is not about lack or doing without. It’s not about limitations, or restrictions, or punishment!  Quite the opposite. It’s about focus, quality, and rich enjoyment in your career, in your relationships, and in your everyday activities and lifestyle. From my experiences and those of my clients, there is a lot to be gained by editing and it’s ALL positive.

If you haven’t noticed, the world has become a  frantic and hectic place. Excess is everywhere and it’s not all healthy and useful. If you’re like most of my clients when they initially sign on for coaching, you typically feel tired and burdened. You also feel like you’re caught on a treadmill with no ‘off’ switch.

The good news is that you can make positive improvements and you can start immediately. Begin to selectively edit one or more areas of your life. It’s usually easiest to begin with the most draining or annoying aspect of your current situation. Pay attention and identify opportunities to opt out, pull back, or hit the ‘delete’ button!  Any small step toward having or doing less can clear the way for more — time, energy, or success.

Before you know it, editing will become a way of life. A pleasant and purposeful way of living and being that generates great rewards. Just think, if you edit enough you can actually ENJOY your success!

All the best,

Julie

Choose Success — Unlearn

July 21st, 2010 Filed under: Choose Success -- Unlearn by admin

Yes, you read that right.  I’ve found that if you want to achieve and maintain success you need to unlearn many things that you’ve been taught!  I’m a big fan of learning and believe it’s key to personal and professional development and fulfillment. Whether it’s your life, your career, or your business operation there is always plenty to learn.  But many times we need to unlearn, to let go, to give up on the former way of being or doing so we can be even more productive, happy, and successful as we move forward .

Lately I’ve personally come to realize just how much ‘housecleaning’ and unlearning needs to happen at times.  I frequently see the same with my clients’ business and career paths.  When you decide to take things to the next level, the familiar, tried and true processes or ways of thinking may no longer be what’s needed.  As the saying goes, if you do the same thing over and over, you’ll get the same results over and over.

When you’re ready for something more, better, or different things need to shift.  Often that shift requires detaching from former thoughts and ideas that no longer serve you well.  It also may mean choosing not to follow ‘popular’ wisdom with regard to how you should proceed.

Over the past few months I’ve re-evaluated and improved my approach to a variety of issues with the idea of unlearning in mind.  As a result, I’ve revised my work schedule, my marketing methods, and my wellness activities with good results.  When it comes to unlearning, nothing is off limits if you want to live life on your best terms and drive fresh, new results!

So while it’s frequently good to learn new things and keep up on the latest technology and ideas, it’s equally important to shed.  If you’re serious about enhancing and enriching your personal and professional life, it’s important to detach and unlearn now and then.

All the best,

Julie
