It’s another Magnificent Monday!

Magnificent MondayYou have been blessed to see the start of another glorious week. The slate has been wiped clean (of the good and bad). You have another opportunity to BE MORE and DO BETTER. This week can be your best week ever! Remember, success is just a string of successful weeks tied together.

Here’s a quote that is particularly insightful and motivating:

Do it now.

~ W. Clement Stone

THIS WEEK’S TIP: Do it Now!

The weekly tip a few weeks ago was “Get Things Done.” This week’s tip takes that a clarifying step further by adding “Do It Now.” As a strategic planning expert, you should know that I firmly believe thinking and planning are important. However, consistent action is far more important. You don’t get paid for your thoughts and plans — you only get paid for your results.

W. Clement Stone built an insurance empire worth hundreds of millions dollars and was at one time considered to be the richest man in America (and perhaps the entire world). He attributed his success to his positive mindset and his “do it now” philosophy. He is reported to have required all of his employees to recite “do it now” fifty times in unison at the start of each work day. His employees were known to be some of the most productive workers in the work force.

It is easy during the holiday season to throw your disciplined routine out the window in the name of “enjoying” the holidays. Don’t do that! It will take you weeks to reestablish your rhythm and routine and regain your momentum. So, when you feel the tendency towards laziness and distractions taking over, stop and say out loud, “Do it now! Do it now! Do it now!”

THIS WEEK’S AFFIRMATION: Do it now! Do it now! Do it now!

Until next Monday, expect the best FROM and FOR yourself!

To your success,

The "Can't Stop Thinking" Blog
is Where I Get a Little More Casual

... In my work as a strategic planning and strategic thinking expert and motivational business speaker, I'm sometimes not able to comment on what I care about because I'm focused on the needs of my clients and audiences. "Can't Stop Thinking" is where all my worlds come together and I offer straight talk on issues, ideas and random thoughts that I can't stop thinking about ... the stuff that matters to me (and maybe to you too) ...
