When Will You Change?

When will you change? Will it be when the Doctor give you the bad news about your health. Will it be your boss that says we no longer need you? I am amazed at the number of people that just go with the flow in life. Many seem to have no goals to reach for more. The biggest thing maybe fear of success, or being laughed at if they fail. Is there something holding us back? We all need a little courage, because we all have chance to be what we dreamed we could be! No one can hold you back but you.
Here is what I heard Jim Rohn say "If you will change, everything will change for you"

See The "BEST"

Are you bringing out the best in your team? I was inspired by my devotion this morning. Many companies fail to do this these days. The employee is simply there for the pay check that is their only reward. There used to be a relationship between the employer and the employee, it is rare to find these days. The successful organization does things different. They not only receive a paycheck, but they are nurtured by the people they work for. When you nurture your team you will unlock their full potential. How do you do this? This what John Maxwell said in my devotion
I use the "BEST" acronym as a reminder of what people need when they get started with my organization. They need me to . . .
Believe in them
Encourage them
Share with them
Trust them
When you follow these you will bring out the best of each person on your team and help them become the leaders of the future. Get out there and start nurturing your team and you will build a successful one. We should also use this when raising children, because they are the leaders of the future!

Health Care Reform?

Health care reform seems to be a hot topic these days. With President Obama pushing his brand of reform to get passed. What is this reform going to bring us? Will it change the health crisis that we face in America today? True reform must come in all areas of life. The food we eat has little nutritional value, that once had. Our water supply is full of toxins. We have become an obese nation. The government subsidizes the food industry. This I believe is part of the problem. What should be done is to subsidize the American people to buy the wellness products of their choice. This I believe will lower health care cost and make it affordable for everyone. By making healthier choices and choosing to give our bodies the nutrition it needs, we will live a long and healthier life.

No matter what you believe about this will not matter unless you make healthier choices for yourself and especially your children. I have seen several reports that say our children will not out live their parents. The choice is simple, but not easy. There are many supplements on the market to choose from. When I choose supplement I look for one that is all natural with little or no fillers. I prefer capsules over tablets. I have learned that when pressed into tablets, it generates heat and it can change the formulation. These may cost a little more, but in the long run the higher the quality the better the results. There are many companies that will pay you to refer others to their products. Some have been able to pay for their products this way. This is the only true way to fix the health care crisis in America, is to take charge of our lives by making better choices. Prevention now will save you thousands of dollars later.
Take care of your health and don't lose it by chasing after wealth!

Changing Times

Times have changed since our parents and grand parent went into the work force. In many cases they were able to retire after their years of service with benefits. That doesn't happen anymore more and more companies no longer have a retirement plan. Everyday I see how this effects those who did retire and can't live off what they receive. Many have had to go back to work to supplement their retirement. This is sad! The government and the companies have failed to keep their promises to these people. The 40-40 plan is dead, no longer can you go to work for one company and retire with benefits. The average person will work for a number of companies these days. Where does one find solutions to this growing problem? I believe we must do like Les Brown talks about being bold and taking risks. Stop playing safe!
