Procrastination A Problem? [Infographic] Why Mind Mapping Might Be A Solution For Your Problem

Time Lost

For every small business owner one of the many keys to developing a successful business is having a vision. Vision without productivity yields no success. Whatever seeds we plant with your productivity efforts towards your vision will ultimately determine how successful your business is.

One of the biggest robbers of our productivity is PROCRASTINATION.  Procrastination is the most deadly disease known to man and could be the reason why you are already behind in your efforts for 2012. Lack of self-discipline especially in this Information Age can be the biggest hindrance to productivity & creativity. Projects never get off the ground because of a sense of overwhelm, which then leads to procrastination. Chunking down big projects in writing for planning works for some but not everyone works or learns the same.

For many individuals working with visual images is how they learn best. There is no better concept to help with productivity and creativity than to learn how to use a Mind Map. I personally use it for my business and I encourage my coaching clients to learn how to use it as well. When using a graphic organizer like a Mind Map to organize your thoughts it helps streamline the angst that you develop in working on big tasks. Using a Mind Map helps with creating little victories every time you finish a node until you complete a task.

I personally use FreeMind and MindMeister for mind mapping on the PC or the Web and Mindjet for mind mapping on my android phone.

The Four Most Common Mistakes Entrepreneurs Are Making In Social Media Marketing


Are you making your Social Media ROI? For a small business owner one of the most important areas of marketing is social media.  Social media marketing can make a break or break the success of any entrepreneur. In this information age it has become very easy for individuals with a unique message, product, or service to get it out to the masses. The biggest issue for most new small business owners is how to get a handle of marketing on social media. The biggest danger is social media being the only marketing strategy for your business. With that being said what if it truly is and your marketing has been ineffective in generating profits for  your business? In my observations, my own experience, and with clients I have found a thread of four common mistakes I have run across. In this post I hope to provide solutions for those who feel overwhelmed or stuck in this matrix called social media.

Mistake # 1 Poor Research- There are four main social media sites that everyone feels you must have a profile on; Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+. So most new entrepreneurs created a page or profile on all of these platforms. The question is do you need a profile on all 4 to be successful on social media? This is where your research should come in. Should you be investing time in this platform?

Solution: Do your research on your target market. Find out where they congregate most often on social media. So you can effectively target them on their preferred platforms. Why waste time if your target market doesn’t come across your marketing on this platform. What type of marketing gains the most attention by users on that platform? Find the answer to that question as well.

Mistake # 2 Lack of Strategy- If your research is poor on your target market’s preferences on social media there is a chance your strategy might be way off base as well. You can’t climb to the top on the wrong ladder. Has strategy been properly written out and planned? Being active doesn’t always translate to productivity on social media. If you are posting a bit too much your target market can be turned off. It’s not always about quantity as quality usually serves best.

Solution: A vision of what you want you to want to accomplish with your social media strategy must be created. It must be measurable so you can tell if your marketing has been effective. You must have short term and long term goals for your strategy plans.

Mistake # 3 Not enough consistency across platforms- Too many social media platforms to maintain can create a sense of being overwhelmed. As for your brand you need to remain as consistent as possible across the board to accomplish your marketing goals. So you can’t be consistent on only one platform and fall short on the rest. That is especially if your target market doesn’t generate enough business for you on the one platform you are consistent.

Solution: Narrow your social media marketing focus to the two or three platforms where your marketing efforts will be most fruitful. Also you could create a frequency chart or have some type of reminder that can help you monitor your efforts. Document days you don’t accomplish your objectives and your distractions.

Mistake # 4 No Relationship Building- The successful online marketers capitalize on their relationships.  Many individuals are online marketing themselves, products, and services but have forget the lost art of connection. Rather than connecting with individuals on social media platforms many individuals are making the mistake of not building relationships with others. Consumers buy products and services from brands they like and trust so selling can be fruitless if you aren’t connecting with your consumers.

Solution: Invest more time online building relationships whether answering questions, posing questions on different platforms or directly reaching out to individuals. Spend time interacting on your Facebook Fan Page, in your LinkedIn Groups, or a Google Hangout. Add value you to others without compensation the Law of Reciprocity let’s you know you will get it back one day.

The Importance of Mantras To You & Your Business in 2012


After recently listening to Guy Kawasaki on the November 2011 Success Magazine CD the one thing that stuck to me was him mentioning that every company needed a mantra. No more than 2-3 words that describe what you want to personify or consumers to identify with your company. He also added that a mantra can be adapted to yourself personally as well. His words stood out for me as it made me do an introspective on me and my company. What mantra could represent my company and what could be my mantra for 2012. Then last week to bring in the New Year Chris Brogan had a blog post entitled ” 3 Words for 2012″ so within less than a week I heard the same sentiment of the importance of a mantra. So I decided to write this post looking at the benefits of a mantra for personal and business use.

The mind is servant to the words you produce from your mouth as you are the chief programmer.This is a key why a personal mantra is needed for self motivation. There will be days when you will be weary and you will need something to get you through the day. Consistency day to day has a true compound effect. Days that motivation is lacking can lead to inconsistency. That is where you as an entrepreneur never want to be in a rut of inconsistency.

First, I must say you identify words that motivate you that possibly could be in your mantra.  Also I would look at action words that you want to embody in your day to day actions. Your mantra must be something that will help keep you disciplined. Watching Larry Fitzgerald warm up before the last game of the NFL regular season he was wearing a shirt entitled “Faith, Focus, Finish”.  After seeing that message I instantly adopted that as my personal mantra. It is something I personally connected with as to should be your mantra. I hope after you read this post you begin working on your own.

In business the establishment of your company mantra has very beneficial benefits for your company branding.  Steve Jobs was masterful at the re-branding of Apple with the use of mantras. As after Apple focused on streamlining their products every major product had a mantra to go along with it( Example: I-Pod “A thousand songs in your pocket”).  Here are just a few of the benefits that mantras can provide for your business:

  1. Clear visibility for your brand
  2. Gives consumers an idea of what you can offer them and/or what your brand, product or service stands for
  3. Builds consumer brand recognition

In this age where weird is embraced I encourage you to push the envelope and be creative. Entrepreneurship is not a life of comfort as it is more of risk. Quality of product or service is key but building the marketing of you and your company is just as key. Stick out from the crowd the status quo. Commit yourself to your mantra and keep consistency in all of your endeavors. I will leave you with my coaching business mantra “Discipline breeds EXCELLENCE” words to remember in 2012.

5 Traits You Need To Be Successful As A New Entrepreneur


Now that we are in the Information Age now more than ever it is easier to have an idea and get it out to the marketplace. No longer do you have to go through big corporations or established entities to get your message or product out. Every year the amount of millionaires is growing in the world and it is not because of any strange reason. Entrepreneurship is on the rise in the U.S.  because of the economic downturn, the provisions given by the government for new entrepreneurs, and just the ease of getting your product or service out to the masses through technology. In my weekly post I would like to speak on five traits I have seen throughout my research of successful entrepreneurs that have been developed across the board. I believe embodying these traits will be very helpful to aspiring entrepreneurs to develop as they embark on their journey. This post can also be very helpful to entrepreneurs already on their journey but are not sure what is holding them back from the prosperity they seek. So now let’s take a look at the character traits I have chosen to highlight:

  • Thirst For Learning- To be successful in business sustaining education in your industry is a must. Whether its reading trade magazines of your industry or researching the needs of your consumers you must be immersed in your industry. Self improvement is truly a lifetime habit that you must apply to be successful especially this day in age. With all the information accessible to you if you are not reading, watching, or listening to something of value I’m pretty sure you competition is.  Most of you reading this probably fall in line with this trait but,I must tell you the most important pitfall. The key is not let you learning affect your productivity. This can be a major hurdle for a entrepreneur. With such great knowledge timewasters like blogs, podcasts, emails, etc. you can waste many hours a week never getting your work done. You definitely must establish definite periods of the day or your week that are designed for your learning. That is the most effective way to overcome this pitfall. I also say this because ” knowledge is great but never becomes wisdom without application.”
  • Adaptability- Leaders of great character exhibit this trait. Successful entrepreneurship & leadership have a direct correlation.Resourcefulness is needed in entrepreneurship as many times plan A will not work. Circumstances produce the litmus test of leadership. Are you going to be able to sink or swim when thrown into the water. Knowing how to navigate the seas of business is crucial. Technology changes quickly as do the demands of your consumers. You can’t take a rigid one size fits all approach to your business. Knowing when to produce change and when to stand still on your business approach is a skill that can be learned. As I truly believe leaders are not born but they are made. Character must be chiseled through life experiences to develop a leader.
  • Resilience/Perseverance- As you will see a few of these traits are intertwined. They really work hand and hand with one of another. When faced with adversity the leadership mettle of an entrepreneur is tested.  Of most entrepreneurs that businesses have failed this is the number 1 missing trait. You see in adversity the strength of an individual. When faith is small and hope is gone then so is a business. Entrepreneurship is a lot like marriage you will have a honeymoon period, but then you have to make it through the valley to see the mountaintop. You have to cultivate your garden of business just like your marriage. You have to tend to it so the weeds don’t take over your garden. If you are not staying resilient in your actions in your business when things are not going well then you will let your problems overtake your mindset. Just like marriage if you make it through your first five years as a business owner things begin to slow down and you usually are reaping the rewards of your hard work.  It is truly a test of perseverance the first few years as an entrepreneur I give you three words to pass this test “FAITH, FOCUS, FINISH.”
  • Delaying Gratification- I truly believe in the words of Dave Ramsey in “Live Like No One Else Now To Live Like No One Else Later” as just like in financial independence this rings true for a new entrepreneur. Success in entrepreneurship doesn’t come from entertaining every impulse you have. Learning how to deal with impulses to not allow it affect your productivity makes a world of difference. I am not saying delay eating if you haven’t had a meal in many hours or totally become a social hermit if you have an urge to enjoy the company of friends. I am speaking more along the lines of staying focused to your long term goals & objectives. Many times when short term goals are achieved we want to enjoy the gratification and lose focus of what we want to achieve ultimately. Contentment and comfort can set in once you reach a certain level of success and that undermines your long term focus. If Steve Jobs and Apple just stopped after the success of the I-Pod would there have been an I-Phone or I-Pad today without his delaying of gratification for the bigger long term goal. So I definitely encourage you to “Work Like No Else Now To Live Like No One Else Later”
  • Problem Solving- The world is full of innovation due to the problem solving of creative entrepreneurs. Filling a gap with innovation of a new idea is a trait that most successful entrepreneurs share. Always striving for improvement of an already established idea of how to make their product or service better is another gap.  Problem solvers are the savants of the world. Now with social entrepreneurship on the rise entrepreneurs are affecting social change and solving the problems of the world. No matter what industry there is a problem to be solved. Today’s entrepreneur is tapping into their creativity to create a solution for a need or a problem. Jack Dorsey is a great example of entrepreneur who embodies this trait as he was one of the creators of the now social media giant Twitter and later created Square which is a savior to many small business as they are now able to process credit transactions. I encourage you to look at your business or proposed idea to see if there is more you can build upon. What other problems or needs can you service. “It’s better to dream big and come up short than to dream small and come up with nothing.”

4 Personal Barriers Keeping You From Starting Up Your Business in 2012


Right now more than ever is the time to start your own business. With the support of our President with many initiatives to support entrepreneurship  With the total number of jobs for 18-34 year olds 2.5 million less than pre-recession numbers its no better time to create a start-up. Most individuals have held off of starting their own business due to the economy, but this is the best time to invest in a start-up while the market is down. In this post I hope to share with you some personal barriers that really might just be the reason you are not taking that leap. I am hoping to motivate you and inspire you to open your mind to all of life’s endless possibilities.

  • Negative Influences

The company you keep in a lot of ways helps determine your altitude in life & business.  You can accept what you hear from others and let it become a part of your thinking or you can filter what you hear. Negative influences can breed anxiety, worry, hopelessness, insecurity etc. Nowadays these influences of negativity can only be magnified even online with social media. Constant complainers can not be in your circle of friends. There are honestly only two types of individuals you encounter in life which are builders or destroyers. You need to associate with as many builders in your social circles as possible. If you have too many destroyers in your social circles they will only drain your optimism and creativity.

  • Negative Self Talk

Honestly the proverb the power of life and death is on the power of your tongue is true always. Your entrepreneurial mindset can be killed by the words we speak. If we are not speaking life into our circumstances our present state of being will never change. If you want to be an entrepreneur you have to be unafraid to take risks and speaking failure into your future is not the way to go. Wherever the mind is the man will follow and if you are constantly speaking words of failure your life will follow those words. Words like I can’t and never will always hold you back from living out your dreams. Always speak what you want to happen for you in business in the present tense with the expectation of victory. Watching the words you speak will make a big difference for you as you now know the significance.

  • Lack of Faith

An aspiring entrepreneur can not have a fear of failure if they decide start a new business.  If they do have that fear that is nothing more than a pre-requisite to a failed business venture. Fear is nothing more than faith in reverse in a negative context. If you haven’t noticed already the first three barriers are correlated as they all are intertwined. Faith is enhanced when your goals are aligned with your values. Whatever your start-up is needs to be aligned with your values. Your heart is your treasure and you will be willing to take more risks if your business is something you believe in with all your heart. Faith is the substance of all things hoped for that is unseen and your faith is always increased if it is tied to your beliefs.

  • Lack of planning

Faith without works is dead. You can not voice words of starting a business without the preparation required to get it done. Procrastination has robbed many a life of their destiny. You can’t let the lack of discipline be the reason why you are not starting your business this year. A business plan even if it is a short one page business plan for the year’s objectives is needed. I recommend chunking down the process into small steps when doing your business planning. You can start as easy as 1 hour a day, 1 objective for the day for 1 month. See how much you get accomplished in that one month.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and can take something from it to overcome some barriers of personal doubt to start your business in 2012.

Productivity Advice: 3 Things To Avoid, 3 Things To Do To Help You Focus

Why we don’t execute ideas mostly is through to lack of focus more than anything. The more you put off today the more chances it won’t be done in the near future. In this information age technology is changing rapidly thus our ability to communicate with one another has increased. With the increased social communication between individuals the amount of productivity of individuals has decreased.

Things to Avoid
Morning Text Messages/Phone Calls
Once you sit down to your desk the easiest distraction to you getting prepared for your work day is your phone. Chances are before while you are on your way to work or for those that work from home during breakfast you have used your phone. It is a common habit for most to use their phone in the morning and there is nothing wrong with that. To be as productive as you want it all stops once you sit down to work.
Open email or social media websites
The lure of the notification gets you every time. If either one of these accounts are open the impulse will be too great not to check what you just received. No matter how feverishly you are working once you see the number pop up I know you have clicked that tab or window before. From opening that tab or window leads into more perusing most times ultimately costing you many minutes thorough out your work day. I also don’t recommend opening your email or social media accounts first thing in the morning anyway, but if you do make sure you close it out before you get back to working.
No or Big breakfasts before work
Breakfast is easily the most vital meal in a super achiever’s day, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it should be their heaviest meal of the day. When you overindulge  on a meal it generally produces a sluggish effect on your physical energy. Lack of physical energy then will in turn produce less productivity. When you work outside of your home it easily to get swayed by your co-workers who are ordering breakfast. You skipping breakfast this morning decide to order with them. No energy= little to no work as your mind will be on your order and your hunger. That’s not to mention the time you will spend eating your breakfast instead of working don’t do it.
What To Do

Silence your phone until lunch time
Keep it simple just turn your phone to silent. While working those that need you in case of an emergency situation know how to get in contact with you. If you are awaiting an urgent business call ignoring this rule is expected, but otherwise commit to this habit if you want to be productive. Uninterrupted work is always the best quality work as well.


Create time blocks in your schedule for email or social media check in

Leisure time has to be to a minimum if you want to generate effective productivity. With email you have to learn the habit of only checking email of value with the time block you have allotted. I don’t recommend social media check-in during the work day but if you do decide to do that make sure it is in a time block as well. You have to develop consistency with sticking to your time blocks.


Consistent morning breakfast options limit variety 

Limiting to your breakfast options has a few benefits. Some of the options include less stress, consistent energy levels, and helps with your waistline. Making the most important meal of the day an automatic habit is great for your morning routine. The most productive individuals always have consistent habits in their routines and this is often the most overlooked. I hope now that I have highlighted it you will put it into practice.

5 High Impact Strategies To Start A Productive Day


Starting your day off on the right note is the biggest determinant if your day will be effective and very productive. More than anything it takes self-discipline to see it through. It is not as hard to have one productive day, but to make these strategies I will share with you lasting you must have a vision. People stick to things when there are principles and values behind them. Principles, values, and vision are the pillars of self-discipline. Productivity is not highly effective without self-discipline.

The difference between efficient and effective in productivity is like the difference in earning a C or an A in college. In the working world it also will be the difference between you having a job or you looking for a job. More than in any other time in history the value you bring to an employer is scrutinized. For entrepreneurs the value you bring to clients is what is going to keep your business afloat or it’s demise. So now let’s take a look at some high impact strategies that will help you focus for a productive day.

1. Prioritize your goals for the day ahead

I highly recommend that your plan your daily priorities before you retire for the night the previous day. This allows your subconscious mind to work while you refresh, as you just might come upon another idea to help you complete your priorities quicker for the day. Like many others I live by the Pareto Principle better known as the 20/80 % rule. For those that are not familiar with the principle in a nutshell it refers to 20% of your daily activities will comprise 80% of your production for the day. So I encourage you to pick your top 3 priorities for the day ahead that must be completed before you relax for the day. You know what are your top priorities by knowing what will make the most impact to your life if you get it done. Starting with the end in mind will help you off to a great start for your day.

2. Meditation/Silence Of The Mind

In the morning for me nothing is better for than to meditate on my objectives for the day. During the morning is when your mind is less chaotic with mental chatter which allows you to focus better. Even if you do not practice meditation sitting in a chair without any noise in a room with your eyes closed will suffice. Thinking of your priorities and enjoying the moment of today. Twenty minutes of personal silence of mind is ideal.

3. Stretching/Exercise

Physical energy is what is going to get you the most proactive for your day ahead. Just devoting 10-15 minutes of your morning to your body will do wonders for your physical energy. Whether you choose to do calisthenics, yoga, or some other form of exercise getting your heart rate up is important for your brain. Your brain releases endorphins which gives you  more mental energy and stamina. You can check out fitness expert Joel Harper for great short workout routines as well as the YOU Workout by Dr. Michael Rozien & Dr. Mehmet Oz inside the book “YOU On A Diet”.

4.  Have a high fiber meal for breakfast

It’s funny how our diet can effect our mind. With the subconscious mind it reacts to impulses and the subconscious mind is beyond your control unless you develop self discipline. Eating high fiber meals in the morning is a strategy and habit to develop to combat the subconscious mind. Hunger will veer you off the course of high productivity. Eating a breakfast with high fiber and water will keep you full longer and you won’t have the impulse to stop working to eat. High fiber meals in the morning include Whole Grain or Bran Cereals (Post’s Great Grains is my favorite), oatmeal and bananas just to name a few.

5. Read or listen to something that inspires you

This has to be my favorite part of my morning routine. It has me charged to get my objectives accomplished as I am truly in the spirit. My creativity is always heightened when reading a book or listening to some gospel in the morning. So find a book that inspires you or some music that gets you motivated in the morning. Nothing is better than stirring the soul in the morning for a great day ahead.

In closing, I see my alarm clock as my opportunity clock and every morning I am ready to seize the day God has blessed me with. I hope you all have enjoyed this post as I want you to walk into your destiny. I want you to be EFFECTIVE not efficient, INDISPENSABLE not replaceable. As a Time Management & Productivity Coach I want to teach you how to number your days so you can increase your productivity and your wages or profits. Please do share with others on the social media mediums and leave comments if you appreciate the wisdom I share in my blog posts. Thank you for taking the time to read this post God Bless!

Why Am I So Unhappy? 3 Areas of Your Life To Look At To Maintain A Positive Attitude



A promising young boxer on the rode to stardom is convicted of murdering a 92 year old woman. Even with no physical evidence and unreliable witness accounts he is imprisoned. Through adversity he remains unshaken and confident spending the next 26 years of his life imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit.Turning to boxing the only thing in his life that gave him peace of mind and focus. He saw it as a way to release the bitterness. He made a decision to find himself rather than wallow in self pity. He sought knowledge completing his bachelors and masters degrees while in prison. He always maintained his innocence and dignity.Finally in 2009 with the help of the Innocence Project his verdict was overturned after it was identified that witnesses lied and he wasn’t the assailant. Rather than having a vengeful and bitter attitude he chose to remain upbeat and excited about his future. His goal was to help young men find a refuge in boxing rather than the streets so they could never end up in a position like him. The man in this story is named Dewey Bozella the 2011 Arthur Ashe Award Winner For Courage.

His story touched my heart as it did millions of other people who watched the 2011 ESPY Awards. His resilience was a shining moment for a man that learned the value of character. His integrity shined through even when the world was against him. He never let his attitude be a victim of circumstance. When you are oppressed is when you find out the most about yourself most times, but it does not have to be that way. As the late Jim Rohn once said “We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.” I hope with this post I can inspire you build your godly confidence today as your attitude is one of the core factors in what determines the product of our lives.

Here are three core elements I would like to share with you. The first one I want you to look at is your WORDS. Our words have the power of victory or of defeat. Many times we create the culture of limitation with the very words we speak. Words are the creator or destroyer of our attitudes.Maintenance of attitude is daily job. Saying and reading words of encouragement, optimism, and joy are required. Happiness, Prosperity and other positive emotions will be fleeting if you don’t build your faith daily. Walt Disney would have never created his empire without building expectancy with his thoughts and words.

HABITS From birth we are conditioned by those around us and our experiences. It develops the person you become. You pickup your habits most times from your parents and close friends. You become a reflection of the influence of the five people you are around the most. The good and bad habits you pick up from these five people develop your character subconsciously. Assessment and self reflection of your habits can help you see the flaws in your attitude. You can come across the habits that are causing you not to succeed how you would like. The habit of procrastination can drain the optimism from your attitude. Stress is not a good effect on your attitude.

The biggest indicator of a person’s attitude to another individual is their BODY LANGUAGE. There is a meaning behind first impressions mean everything. More than 80% of communication and perception is through Body Language. Most people their body language changes when they are in better mood. Being able to maintain positive body language even through trials and tribulations is the sign of a person who is in control of their attitude. Ask those closest to you to give an honest evaluation of your body language.

Your success in life is in direct relation to your attitude. Your attitude affects relationships for the better or the worse. A quote by John C. Maxwell sums it up great “One is too lonely of a number to achieve greatness.” Relationships are valuable capital to anything you do in life. So I encourage to be mindful of your words to yourself and others. Take a look at your habits to see if they are holding you back from being personally what you could be. Lastly, remember our body language is the most important tool of communication between people. In business people invest in people not ideas and poor body language will not help you seal the deal. I want to leave you with a quote by Oprah Winfrey “The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.”

5 Elements To Help You Take Intention to Action Not Procrasination!


Every day is a new opportunity for change. For many years after graduating with my bachelor’s degree I really struggled with my time. Always just making deadlines and procrastinating like no other. My social calendar was truly the best scheduled thing in my life. Everything else was done when I remembered it lol. But as I grew older I realized it was really no laughing matter. After achieving your childhood goals often we lose that focus. Got a degree and a good job so now it’s time to enjoy life & coast. Not saying don’t enjoy yourself, but lives are best fulfilled with intention & purpose.

So today I just wanted to share five elements of focus that will help you live a more productive & less stressful life:

1.) Vision or Purpose
Not everyone find’s their life purpose at the same time, but everyone does have values. Us as human beings are intrinsically motivated when we have a vision or a purpose we live for. I recommend some time of solitude to evaluate the present state of your life and to assess what you want out of it.

2. Goal Setting
We have to create goals for our vision/purpose will be nothing more than wishful thoughts. We have to give our intention the power to create or continue action. Designing achievable goals aligned with your vision is the answer.

3. Action Planning
With every goal there needs to be an action plan. When you break down anything into manageable steps it takes the overwhelming feeling away. When you know the steps to your destination, you empower yourself with the small victories along the way. Once you create the snowball effect called momentum nothing will stop you from achieving your goals.

4. Habit/Time Assessment
What keeps us grounded more than anything is our bad habits. Our routine actions can be so detrimental to our progress. Taking a honest look at how we waste our time on a daily basis is where we could begin. Cut back on email checking, television, social media usage, and text messaging as they are some of the common time wasters. Also negative self talk must be eliminated. Your thoughts & words stop dreams more than anything else

5. Discipline

Scheduling & Prioritization are the biggest aids to develop discipline. Depending on willpower only will lead to failure. Why do you think most people can never stick to a diet? Learning good time management habits will help you develop the discipline. It will be that call to action for you to defeat the enemy called procrastination.

I hope you all enjoyed this post as I shared some insight into how I have learned to increase my productivity. So come back on weekly basis to see my new posts as I aim to add value to you the reader.

What’s Bigger? Your Heart Or Your Ego?



In the last week we have seen some big meltdowns from some known public figures in Anthony Weiner and Lebron James. In both cases their errors in judgment have been glaring. I figured this would be a great time to compose this leadership piece. One of the key qualities in an effective leader is the integrity of their character. People want to embrace a leader they can trust and feel confident in. In Weiner’s case his blatant lying to save his reputation was costly. He chose reputation at the expense of his character. In Lebron James case his ego is his defense to maintain and regain his reputation. Lebron is no different than many who let their ego control their reactions rather than listen to your heart. That is the main core difference, it will let you know if you are living a life trying to maintain the integrity of your reputation or your character.

Those that value their reputation listen to their ego. Those that value their character listen to their heart. When your reputation becomes more important than your character you are an accident waiting to happen. That is what we saw this past week with these two high profile individuals. They chose honor before humility and now they must pay the cost of their actions.

A great leader stands up to what he values. They maintain their moral integrity in the light of adversity. Your level of influence will expand once you stay aligned to what you value or it could be your downfall if you don’t value the right things. Lust, greed, and fear the biggest influences of the ego. They can blind you and fill your heart. Arrogance will be your best friend instead of humility.

So today I will leave you with a action/reflection exercise.

1.List all of the things you hold dear and value in your life. List at least 12-15 values minimum
2.Pick your top five values
3.Reflect on your top 5. Do they only regard things for yourself only or does it concern others as well? Do they fall in line with lust, greed, or fearful intentions?
4.Lastly do you think you living to fulfill the values that appeal to your ego (false self/your mind) or your character (true self/your heart?

“Living or Limiting your Dreams?”

Low angle view of a young man with dreadlocks

We are born in this world without fear or worry, which is what God intended.  We are born with so much love and innocence.  You are at your purest state of love when you are a child.  Your world is very self-serving and you do what feels good to you inside.  During childhood our parents shape most of our experiences and thoughts.  Their loves and their fears generally become ours.  As we grow into adolescence we grow into exploring our thoughts and dreams. The only thing is since you have not reached adulthood your parents still have final say so if those thoughts become actions.  Parents many times by their very words can unintentionally derail or kill a dream of a child.  Sometimes for many adults that aspiration never resurfaces even in adulthood.

Mother Scolding Her ChildYoung adulthood is the time of growth of self-identity.  Your parents have instilled morals and values in you, which generally serve as the foundation of your self-identity.  This identity most times is not the true identity your inner self.  Many times your interests in career or education choice are what your parents always wanted for you.  That last statement doesn’t apply to everyone, but does for some.  As a child, negative talk by your parents may have often discouraged you from acting on a thought or a dream.  That discouragement by your parents as a child has now developed into self-rejection as an adult.  Instead of acting on a great idea, you regularly are saying, “No I don’t want to go out of my comfort zone.  What if I fail?  My friends and family will just say I told you so.”  Words of friends and family can definitely affect one’s confidence.  Self-Abuse is the prime reason why some people live in a world of self-pity and regret.  Thoughts of others become your own and you limit yourself to a life of contentment, or worse, mediocrity.  Why do that if there is so much eternal potential to release on the world?

Businesswoman in OfficeMy advice is to find some dreamers, people who build you up.  People who will celebrate your victories, not people who will criticize or feel threatened any time you succeed.  They will not truly want prosperity for you as they will feel inadequate or jealous of your success.  Many people are fine with living in a world of contentment and merely working for wages.  If you have a desire for great profits, then you must distance yourself from those that lack ambition.  There is no way to think someone else and his or her emotional poison won’t affect you.  To come from the purgatory of the negative side of self, a lot of love and faith strengthening has to come into your life.  Love and faith; those two words go hand in hand. If you want to succeed in living your dreams those two emotions have to be present.  I hope after this post you sit back and reflect.  Are you truly living your dreams, someone else’s, or holding yourself back?  Using your mind to logically self-reflect on life is something we all should do quite often.  Therefore, please leave comments and let me know how you feel about this post.

“Faith & Fear: Distant Brothers”

I will start this blog with a quote from author Marianne Williamson “Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.” In this post I will also speak of fear’s other brother better known as faith as this is another emotion that is learned here. As a child we live with innocence that isn’t affected until we encounter fear. Most of us think that faith and fear are really just opposites but they really are close in kin. What they have in common is they both ask us to believe in something that we never can see. With fear it makes you believe in the negative and creates the mindset of self-rejection or danger. With faith its asks you to believe in the positive which creates a great mindset of confidence or optimism.

In our life we are destined to make a choice of which brother we would like to be friends with. Since both exist in our mind we can’t get rid of either of them completely. Our thoughts can either bury or plant a seed in our minds. When we live in fear we bury seeds of hope. We are more concerned with not losing something or someone. When you live in a state of fear you are not a creator. You are not a true leader. A lead of fear will never truly uplift the people who follow him. They may speak a positive word, but thoughts of pessimism will rear its ugly head. Feelings of jealously, anger, and resentment will always show in a person who lives in fear. Negative thoughts will be automatic for a person living in fear. Common phrases for them will be I can’t, I don’t know, I doubt. When you speak words of defeat do you think you will ever thrive? Or will you just merely exist. Many times we speak positive words, but we fear someone is going to destroy our hopes and dreams. You basically use your faith in reverse as your positive words are for not.

Faith is the brother we all should hang with especially in times of trouble. Don’t dwell on the negative in your life only speak of the positive. Even if life isn’t going the way you like wallowing in self-pity isn’t going to make things better. It’s with our words we can plant a seed in a our mind that we can overcome anything. Our creativity is heightened when we live in faith. Appreciation of life and opportunity fills our mind. This is when divine inspiration and innovation occurs in our lives.  We know as long as we let go and put it out in the universe we will activate our blessings. What we don’t realize is once you plant a seed the fruits of your labor will come to pass long as you have positive expectations. I am a devout believer in the power of God and his favor. When living in faith no challenge or task is unachievable as the seed you planted will now blossom. Long as you believe your season will come breaks will fall your way in time. We all know Tyler Perry’s story, so if you ask him how he made it from homelessness to prosperity he will voice one word to you “Faith”.

So always remember your thoughts create your existence as neither faith nor fear is physical. With faith you can make the mountains of fear seem like road bumps after a while. Changing your thought patterns is a process and does not happen overnight. Long as you don’t give in to worry everything in life will come to pass. Self reflect on yourself and see what brother you find yourself hanging with daily. You can live your life talking about the problem or you can spend your life talking to and attacking your problems. You can find yourself up at night having problems falling asleep or sleeping comfortably smiling when you say good night. Every day is a new day so start your day with gratitude and hope. Always remember you’re highly blessed and highly favored. Live the life you were intended to live hanging with Faith and NOT Fear.

“Immature Love”

Woman sitting on bed with man sleeping behind her

Learning how to properly communicate can save most relationships and definitely your well-being.  In relationships, out-of-control egos can fuel a “crazy spin cycle” of constant arguments leading to unhappiness.  Mastering effective communicate during times of great emotion is a skill that I recommend anyone involved in a relationship learns.  Negative emotions towards your partner can take your words to a place of harm and risk separation.  Egos have potential to limit your relationship from growing especially if you decide to marry.  Lasting love truly requires both individuals to be selfless in order to grow into mature love.  Egos from either person will keep the relationship from reaching its true potential, thus limiting it to “immature love”.

Side profile of a couple kissing and hugging

Immature love is rampant nowadays as people continue to have “fly by night” relationships and convenient casual encounters.  Now that summer is over some people are conveniently preparing for what many call “Cuffin’ Season”.  In other words, as the weather gets colder, you find someone to be with until next spring or summer.  Honestly, no one who truly has a high love of self would ever indulge in such an unfruitful relationship.  Those who participate in these types of unfruitful relationships often wonder why they have never been blessed by finding a potential life partner. It is because they are still lack the self-love to have a lasting mature relationship.  The intense emotions of being in love generally only last up to two years.  This contributes to the reason why the American divorce rate is so high, especially in marriages under 5 years. Couple embracing by windowThose involved in Immature Love are not prepared to handle the loss of the “in love” feeling.  Egos rear their ugly heads and a break-up or a divorce become virtually inevitable.  No one wants to be the mature individual and conceal his or her feelings.  This commonly occurs when involved in microwave relationships. Simply put, relationships that get “hot” very fast, and “cool off” just as quickly.  In my many travels, I come across this type of relationship generally among my peers who are in their late 20s or early 30s.  Apprehension and depression about love prospects really cause some people to make rash decisions.  Not adequately getting to know an individual before sleeping or starting a relationship is a big issue with all too many.

Couple embracingThat is enough about the problem.  It’s time to talk about how we can build relationships that are based on “Mature Love”.  In my regard, I truly feel there is no way to build a relationship of lasting love without both partners have common core values.  Having a relationship with no common core values is essentially having a relationship with no purpose, as it will not last.  I ask many of my single friends if they know the core life-values in the person they are dating.  Sadly, most do not.  Both partners must sincerely have a great level of appreciation for each other.  In Mature Love both partners must be selfless in nature, showing their commitment to their union.  You must show grace, humility, and gentleness at all times towards your mate.  This is especially true for the men, as they have got to be humble in a relationship for it to be lasting.  Women are more emotional by nature, so a man must be able to tactfully conceal his emotions for the sake of the relationship.  Arguments escalate or are prolonged when a man lets his ego take over.  When emotions are heightened, it is not worth arguing over it, brothers.  To avoid stress and to preserve a healthy relationship, the phrase “Yes Dear” needs to become like second nature.  I could go on and on with more tips but lastly I would like to say always appreciate the differences in your partner.  Always remember that being the right person to your partner is more important than trying to change your partner into the right person.

“Building The Art of Consideration”

“Building The Art of Consideration”

Silhouette of young man and woman In a relationship or marriage you always hear about the value of communication and compromise.  Those are very important elements of a lasting relationship.  Often forgotten is the third “C” of this formula which is consideration.  This unpopular element doesn’t get much exposure, although it may ultimately make a break a relationship or marriage.

Young woman shouting at manWhen you enter in the bond of a relationship you must always remember you are adults and this is a collaborative relationship.  Each participant in the bond is on equal footing.  For a lasting healthy relationship, honestly speaking, you cannot have a pecking order in.  Romantic unions between two adults cannot be the same as a relationship between a parent and child.  There should be no fear in communicating your desires to your mate and waiting on them to give you permission to act on them. Healthy relationships and marriages do not work that way.

A couple who understands how a joint relationship works has significantly less conflicts.  They understand the art of consideration.  Both individuals know you must be attentive, accommodating, humble, and compassionate.  Even when your stated desire may not be readily accepted by your mate, they are able to keep the peace.  When your emotions are in check, negotiation between you and your mate is open for dialogue.

Here are some tips to the “Art of Consideration”

  • Eliminate permission asking phrases from your vocabulary such as “Is it OK” or “Can I”
  • Always ask your partner’s thoughts and feelings on an intended action or decision before you act on it.
  • Communicate with your partner often, but don’t try to change your spouse.  Only encourage and strengthen each other. This helps a lot in negotiation when there are differences in desires.
  • Make plans together, but don’t get upset if you don’t get your way when making plans. Be open to compromise and alternate with your partner sometimes.
  • Learn to always forgive and forget.  Always live in the present as each new day should bring new thoughts as well.  If you want lasting love it must be unconditional love.
  • Don’t depend on your partner to fill all your needs.  It’s not humanly possible and before you enter a relationship you should already be self-sufficient.

“Maximizing Your Potential: 8 Times of Day You’re Naturally Brilliant”

Young man reading book in bed

Do you ever really wonder truly why everyday is never the same? It is because our brain activity differs daily based on a myriad of factors. I came across this great article By Sara Reistad-Long of Prevention Magazine. I know many of us struggle with procrastination and being overwhelmed. I thought this would be a beneficial read to those that want to maximize their mental efficiency everyday.

“Unite & Attack” Restoring The Black Family

This is a piece I wrote for the “No Wedding No Womb” movement which purpose is to restore the “Black” family. The message is to emphasize marriage before pregnancy! We must seriously consider what we are doing to society when we bring a child into this world.   The disparities of black single parent homes are shocking.  In 2008, 65% of African-American children were raised in single parent homes as opposed to 23% of their white counter parts according to Kids Count Data Center.  The risk of going to jail is increased 20 times for children raised in single parent homes.  To heal our community, we must find a solution to the problem of children being born out-of-wedlock.  Argue if you will, but the data does not lie.

Read on to see how analyze the problem and offer some solutions we must implement to help bring back restoration to the Black Family: Unite & Attack

Does My Social Circle Reflect Me?

Many times in life we go through change. Nothing in life remains constant.  As we grow older, we make more and more friends from different walks of life. We sometimes outgrow certain friends.  Sometimes we realize it and other times our growth goes unnoticed.  One of the biggest fears for many people is the thought of having no friends.  For many, the need for to be accepted outweighs the zeal for one’s own potential prosperity.

USA, California, Los Angeles Some people are true believers in the phrase “Your social network is your net worth”.  I ask the following questions to that phrase. “Is your social network full of positive or negative influences?” How many people in your circle of friends are inspiring or empowering?  Many times the words of others can impact your dreams in life. If you don’t have optimistic friends in your network, even the hint of pessimism can affect your motivation and thoughts.  Once we allow pessimistic beliefs or fear to prevail in our thought-life, the cycle of self-rejection begins.

Man readingRemember the saying, “Misery loves company”. Therefore, if you happen to be a dreamer it may be unwise to hang around those that don’t like change.  Never be afraid to let go of friends whose values no longer match yours.  I just recently ran across a young professional gentleman like myself that honestly said he stopped attending church on Sundays because most of his friends did not.  He said he felt conflicted in the struggle to live righteously because of his circle of friends. Sadly, he succumbed to his fear of loneliness, as opposed to deciding to raise his standards of living.

Two Workmen Sitting Against Crates and Having a Coffee at a Business ConferenceMany people I help have personal struggles very similar to this young man.  Your community of friends must match your values.  If they do not respect you as your life changes, then they are not truly your friends.  If your friends can change your mind on a belief, it simply means your faith in it was lacking. Beliefs that don’t have conviction are nothing more than a preference.  In life you should not compromise your beliefs or values for anyone.  Always be willing to listen to the opinions of others, but be mindful that life decisions are for you to make.  The consequences from those choices will influence your life alone.  Not that of your friends

In summary, evaluate the company you keep.  Look and see who has been a positive influence in your life and those who have been a negative influence.  Don’t miss out on opportunities to be a servant to your choices.  Look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Is my confidence level on full or empty?” Furthermore, ask if you are living a life of my own character or are you letting others affect your character? Always remember that your social circle is a reflection of you.

“Four Principles The Wealthy Apply & Others Neglect”



I know I have been away awhile from writing on the site, but I return with more knowledge to share to the world.  In this post I will highlight four fundamental disciplines that wealthy treasure and the average person overlooks its importance. As you will learn in a later post my definition of wealthy doesn’t only refer to a monetary context. No long introduction let’s get into the four principles:

1. Reading

The average American reads one book per year.  Of the average American reader 60% of them never go past the first chapter. The average American CEO reads 4-5 books per month. You do the math that’s 48-60 books read per year. Then you wonder why you aren’t fulfilling the potential you feel that you have. Most people don’t value the art of reading. The wealthy build their libraries as it is one of their prized possessions. Any thought or idea you have chances are there is already a book in print that can help you fulfill your desire. If you are only reading fiction books that is an issue as well. Non-fiction books are where you will attain personal growth. Whether it is spiritually, financially, family, career, etc. there is something of value you can pull out of it personally. With the invention of e-readers it is now easier than ever to have vast knowledge at your fingertips. Don’t let wisdom pass you by.

2. Listening

The wise know that the art of being a great winner in life is knowing when to listen.  Just as many in the dating world will be able to tell you they know within the first five minutes of conversation with a person whether this person is for them or not. The same goes with a smart businessman. Many people shoot themselves out of possible deals running their mouth. Just always remember the rule of greater than less than. What is greater two ears or one mouth?  So it is key to practice your listening not just your presentation. Also another bit of advice is listen to more than music in your periods of relaxation. With all the audiobooks and informational cd’s available to you, imagine if you split half of your time when traveling listening to something of personal growth value instead of just music. Imagine how much knowledge would be gained. Also watch the quality of what you are hearing as it can be an optimism killer.

3. Observing

Just like with listening, observing is using one of the five senses. As with listening if you are non-stop talker chances are you aren’t a good observer either.  What you observe in your daily content is a key fundamental to success. What are you watching on television and the internet especially. If you aren’t filtering what you observe to what it is you desire in life ,then how do you think you will accomplish your goals? Observing and the quality of modeling go hand and hand. If you want to become a great speaker  then you watch video of great orators. The more you observe things that make you feel good the more inspiration you will have within. Also, pay attention to details of when you first meet someone. People appreciate if you are able to recall something that they did when you first met them or you remembered something they wore. Everyone likes to feel special its human nature.

4. Giving

In this world it is no secret that the more you give the more will receive in this lifetime as it is universal law. Just because you may not have the monetary wealth to give others does not mean you cant give something to the cause of others. Blessings flow through people and throw the power of giving you allow yourself to be remembered by more people when opportunities arise. So learn to be more selfless during your day to day activities you never know when something special might come your way.

If you consciously make these four principles into habits to live by you will see the tide of favor begin to change in your life. Relationships will change between you and others and more opportunities will arise. Applying these disciplines will  help you fulfill your desires if success, happiness, & wealth is in your spectrum of faith.

3 Negative Habits That May Keep You Single



As my clients increase there continues to be constant themes that dominant my dating/relationship coaching conversations. So much that I have decided to share my thoughts on the common bad habits that have surfaced from conversations. Common questions are I have no children, a great job, and I believe I am very attractive. Why can’t I find a suitable mate. I have heard these same attributes described from men and women. I haven’t blogged much as of late but I do appreciate all the frequent visitors of my coaching blog. I would love to hear more comments from my visitors. So please sit back and enjoy this post.

I will briefly discuss 3 negative habits many singles make that limit their attraction to a suitable mate

1.Looking for “Charisma” instead of “Character”

First take a look at the definition of the two words

Charisma- Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.

Character- Moral excellence; integrity

From these two definitions it can be seen which type of individual you would prefer in a relationship. From childhood we have been programmed to seek the mate with the most charisma. We all have been conditioned whether by family, friends, or the media to look towards physical attractiveness as the 1st and often most important quality in looking for a mate. Often next for consideration is the slick talker or the life of the party. These are usually individuals that fall under the charismatic label. I am in no way saying people you meet that fall into the categories I described are a automatic no-no. You have to analyze one’s character. Habits and actions define a person’s character. The attraction from charisma wears off when someone continually makes selfish actions. So you being a good judge of character is a needed skill that has to be developed. Finding a mate will be easier if it is developed and definitely less heartache will be a positive result.

2. Negative thinking & expectations

Our reality is only a sum product of our thoughts, words, and choices. People truly do not understand the unconscious habits they develop talking about all that is wrong in their dating life. The more you talk about what you don’t want in a mate is the more you will receive. If you never switch your paradigm and speak about what you truly do want in a mate on a consistent basis do you think your fortunes will change? Lowered expectations= Even lower results. So you have to stop speaking defeat on your circumstances and start having the expectation that you will find Mr. or Mrs. Right

3.No visualization

If I asked you to describe your ideal mate could you truly describe them? Could you describe what physical and personality characteristics you would want them to have? Most people couldn’t answer this question quickly. One thing I always tell my clients is, how can you attract the person you want if you truly don’t have a clear vision of what you want? It’s the same thing of having goals with no measurable objective. Finding your mate is a goal so you should have a way to measure if you have found them. So I encourage my clients to create an ideal mate vision card. You are the co-creator of your own experience so you should create your own vision of what kind of mate you want in your life.

These are just a few thoughts and suggestions I observe quite often. I hope you enjoyed this post and please do share your thoughts and comment on it.

3 Simple Ways to Stay Productive & Limit Time On Social Media





More than any other life skill time management is a weakness for most. A lot of my life coaching clients have goals to get better in this area. With social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn some users spend hours on these sites. What starts as minutes then turns into hours. With smartphones and tablets the mobile accessibility only adds to the fire. The average Facebook user alone spends 11 hours per month on the site. One out of every eight minutes on the internet is spent on Facebook. It is the biggest time dump known to man. Imagine how much more you would get done if didn’t waste all of those hours every month. Procrastination is the most deadly disease known to man. The only known way to combat procrastination is disciplined time management. Today I will give you three simple ways you can limit time wasted on social media sites spanning from moderate to extreme.

1. Invest in a planner

This is one of the most important tools that will help you stay productive.  Along with my journals there is nothing I cherish more to keep me on task. A great tip with your daily planning is to create blocks of time in your schedule. No multi-tasking just 60 to 90 minute blocks on a concentrated task. If you give yourself limited blocks of time to use the internet you will not be wasting a lot of time.

2. Use your timer!

I believe a timer is the most underutilized time management tool. Every smartphone has a timer just as they have an alarm. Most of us use the alarm and reminders in our phones. We just usually neglect our timer. So when your performing any task to keep your self-disciplined time yourself. Dedicate only a certain amount of time to the internet especially. Don’t disregard the buzzer either.

3. Block All Social Media Sites!!!

This is for those that have an extreme addiction to their social media sites. If you have an important task to complete this might be recommended for whatever time frame you have. You have to jump back in the social scene in moderation if you truly have an addiction. That is once you unblock your sites. Social media surfing has become an unconscious habit to your daily life so unlearning this habit will be difficult for some. So returning to social media consumption must be done in moderation to train your mind to form a new habit.
