"All progress takes place outside your comfort zone." ~Michael John Bobak Have you ever been on a lazy river ride? You know, you sit in the inner tube and the water just moves you around the "river." That's one of the only places I can imagine where it takes little to no effort on your part to make progress...that is, if you consider going around in circles progress. The truth is that real progress (movement toward a goal) requires YOU to get outside your warm, comfy cocoon and make some new calluses. Of course, blisters come first and those blisters can be quite painful, but if you want to find success as an entrepreneur, business owner, or just in life...you need the blisters. Situations like we've been going through for the past couple of months really emphasize the need for planning and stress testing the business, and that stuff is not fun. But if you don't do it in planning and learn from the mistakes of preparation, then your only choices it to learn in real time...and THAT can be fatal to your business. Take a few minutes right now and think about two or three things that you've been putting off till "tomorrow" and make completing them today a priority! Enjoy!

"Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless" ~Jamie Paolinetti Have you ever seen a scary movie or had a nightmare? They use your imagination to create obstacles to your actions. And we don't need the movies to do that, we're plenty good on our own. Most people are pretty good at looking at a set of circumstances and letting the potential NEGATIVE outcomes prevent them from acting. Well, let's turn that on its head today. What if you use your imagination to see the potentially POSITIVE outcomes in a set of circumstances and use that vision of what could be to pull you into action?! What could you accomplish TODAY if you CHOSE to see the positive potential in every circumstance? And if you get stuck, you're in a circumstance that you just can't see a positive in, remember the words of Chief Tecumseh, "When you rise in the morning, give thanks...for the joy of living. If you can find no reason to give thanks, the fault lies only in yourself." Go out and make today...THE BEST DAY EVER! Enjoy!
