Think & Grow Rich Thursday: One Sound Idea

“Life is strange and often imponderable!  Both the successes and the failures have their roots in simple experiences.  Yet to prosper by these experiences, you must analyze them and find the lesson within.  One sound idea is all that one needs to achieve success.”

– Napoleon Hill

Think & Grow Rich Thursday: You Are Master of Your Destiny

“You may control your own mind; you have the power to feed it whatever thought impulses you choose.  With this privilege goes also the responsibility of using it constructively.  You are the master of your own earthly destiny just as surely as you have the power to control your own thoughts.  You may influence, direct, and eventually control your own environment, making your life what you want it to be — or you may neglect to exercise the privilege which is yours, to make your life to order, thus casting yourself upon the broad sea of ‘Circumstance,’ where you will be tossed hither and yon, like a chip on the waves of the ocean.”

– Napoleon Hill

5 Minutes on… Practical Organizing Tips

Back by popular demand!  We received a lot of positive feedback from last week’s conversation with Organizer Extraordinaire, Diane Thomson, owner of Creative Organizing, and the guru of living life efficiently.  She has been working with me and Alan for a few months now, not just transforming our clutter into organization, but giving us systems to use and sage advice along the way.

In this all-new short audio, Diane gives us tips on how to begin organizing, especially if it feel overwhelming — and also how to be realistic in your clearing of clutter.  Those organization television shows make it seem so simple — but as Diane reveals, those shows have many people behind the scenes.  So where do we begin…?   Listen after the break.

Think & Grow Rich Thursday: Build a Stronger Fire

“The starting point of all achievement is desire.  Keep this constantly in mind.  Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.  If you find yourself lacking in persistence, this weakness may be remedied by building a stronger fire under your desires.”

5 Minutes on… Getting Organized!

Today’s talk is with Diane Thomson, owner of Creative Organizing, and the guru of clearing out clutter.  She has been working with me and Alan for a few months now, not just transforming our clutter into organization, but giving us systems to use and sage advice along the way.

In this short audio, Diane tells us how our stuff, our time, and our tasks are all connected, and how having more stuff requires more energy.  Listen after the break (and see an embarrassing photo of the “before” as she dealt with all of our shoes!). Continue reading

Think & Grow Rich Thursdays

 ”It is my duty, and a privilege to say I believe, and not without reason, that nothing is impossible to the person who backs desire with enduring faith.  Strange and imponderable is the power of the human mind!  We do not understand the method by which it uses every circumstance, every individual, every physical thing within its reach, as a means of transmuting desire into its physical counterpart.”

Moving out of When/Then and into Here/Now

Sometimes we procrastinate our dreams.  It’s easy to live in the land of “When/Then” – you know, that place where we say things like “when I have more money, then I’ll pursue my dream” or “when I find more time, then I’ll start writing my book.”  Sounds reasonable, but the problem is… Continue reading

Think & Grow Rich Thursdays

 ”If the thing you wish to do is right and you believe in it, go ahead and do it!  Put your dream across, and never mind what ‘they’ say if you meet with temporary defeat, for ‘they,’ perhaps, do now know that every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.”
