Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life.

It has been established that there is a strong relationship between our brain and the strength of our immune system. When we are sad and unhappy, our immune system becomes more susceptible to infection and vice versa. Therefore, we need to protect our minds. In this episode, I shared four tips on how we can do that successfully. Enjoy it and share with others.

EMS - Perception And The Psychology Of Free

It is often said that perception is reality. While there is a strong sense of truth in that statement, it is also arguable.

~Our perception and the concept of FREE

~The importance of using FREE as a tool in business

~Why humans are generally attracted to FREE things

~When to give things for FREE as a business

~When FREE hurts you as a person

~When FREE hurts a business

~Why some entrepreneurs give their services and products for FREE

Ask for help. Not because you are weak, but because you want to remain strong. ~ Les Brown

In today's episode, I ask that you reach out to others for two broad reasons - to check up on your loved ones regularly especially during this difficult time and also to ask for help when you need it. 

I know that in our North American culture, asking for help might not be as comfortable as you would like but it is worth it. You are worth it. In this episode, I gave suggestions on how to actually ask for the help that you need. It works. 

Please listen to it and enjoy it!

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths." Proverbs 3: 5-6

We are at that point in life that it has become evident that the arm of flesh has failed us and will continue to fail. In this episode, I call on you to look up to a higher power or more appropriately as I like to say, to look up to God for strength, for wisdom and direction through all the troubles and ongoing chaos. Start with God before looking elsewhere. Enjoy this short episode.

Everything changes and your business is one of them. At this time, you may need to pivot your business into something else to serve the available needs in the community. How do you do that? It all starts in the mind. Check out the following tips: 

1. Take a deep breath. Acknowledge the pain but do not panic because if you do, you will drown. 

2. Start by working for the things you can control and create a schedule around them. 

3. Don't worry about everything, do just the NEXT right thing. 

4. Troubling finances? Talk to your creditors. It is not your inability to pay that is often the problem but your lack of communication (silence). Face the elephant in the room. 

5. Accept that there is no normal. What you call normal changes always. Reframe your thinking to accept that you create your normal every day. 

6. Ask yourself, how else can I do my business?

7. Take an inventory of your intellectual and physical assets and ask yourself what else you can do with the assets that you have.

8. What if everything else fails? Life can never leave you stranded. You will always have an option - believe it because it is real. 

9. 80% of life is how you respond to what happens to you. Handle that well. 

10. Listen to the full episode in order to get the practical details.
