Coffee & Common Sense

This is a love story, of sorts. It can't be explained any other way. And it begs the question...what happens if we actually give ourselves the opportunity to really see others?

What's really important in your life right now? Would it be obvious if someone was looking at your life from the outside? Does your life currently reflect what you really value, what you dream of, what brings you joy? If not...let's get into it. 

Do affirmations really work? Or is it all a bunch of bull? Let's chat about it. 

Do you believe in creating abundance and repelling scarcity?

I don't. Here's why. 

Let's make bringing our dreams to life in this physical world just a bit easier today. Why not try it? (If you really find you love making it long, arduous, painful and complicated, you can always go back to your old ways of doing things, right?)

A friend of mine recently vented, "I just want to create my own life!" 

Okay. Let's get on that. 

Don't you just love a big, stretchy goal? How about solving a handful of the world's biggest problems with one simple solution? Let's see if we can get it done in....under 8 minutes. 

"The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself."
- Wallace Wattles

Although there are many ways to make the most of oneself, I most closely associate this quote with entrepreneurship because I believe starting and growing a business IS the very essence of transformational work. You are creating something where there once was nothing, and in so doing, you transform yourself and the world.

Here are 10 ways to leverage the transformational energy of entrepreneurship to grow both your business and your Self.

Be honest, if 5 minutes a day could do all of the following things for you, would you do it? Be honest...would you?

• Increase your income
• Improve your decision-making capability
• Boost your productivity
• Make you measurably happier
• Improve other people's perception of you
• Create more fulfilling personal relationships with significant others, including your children
• Increase your resilience
• Achieve better overall health
• Improve the quality of your sleep
• Experience less fatigue
• Bolster your generosity
• Decrease stress
• Lessen materialistic tendencies
• Experience lower levels of cellular inflammation
• Be more likely to develop patience, humility and wisdom
• Increase the efficacy of mental health counseling
• Increase your focus on the positive

If you said yes, I want you to live that commitment to yourself! Listen to the episode and execute like a boss. Remember, confidence comes from self-trust, which results from keeping our word to ourselves. 

You can find me on Instagram @coffeeandcommonsense. Send me those pics of you executing this strategy! I want to celebrate with you!

How  do we  stay focused on creating the life we want during times of struggle, when it feels like the world is burning down around us?
