Be Honest With Yourself and Others

May 13, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

“To thine own self, be true.”

It is always wiser to under-promise and over-deliver…than the opposite.

Whether you’re making a commitment to a client, an employee, a family member, or even to yourself, make sure you’re extremely honest and that the promise you make is the “bottom floor” of what you will accomplish.

So, instead of committing to lose 50 pounds or promising to run a mile every day, make the promise that you’ll lose 5 pounds or walk a block every morning.

You can always exceed the promise and no one (including you) will object.

However, if you fall short, everyone affected is disappointed.

Dealing with Fear and Lowering Anxiety

May 6, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

When you get scared, focus on Today.

Tomorrow will take care of itself.

Most of the time, fear “lives in the future.” In other words, the vast majority of times, when we get frightened, it’s because we’re thinking about something that might happen, or could happen. Fortunately, it’s usually not happening right now.

If you’re afraid you will not be able to accomplish your goals, that means you’re thinking too far out. Slow yourself down, and go back to the “Think 1st” philosophy:

Pick 1 Thing
Make it Small
Focus on Today

That will calm you down enough to resolve the problem.

Ask first. Talk Later.

We are “hard-wired” to answer questions, correct?

(See, in your head, you HAD to answer that – even if you disagreed!)

If we really want to have closer relationships and we want to get more from those with whom we associate, we have to:

Listen
Ask questions
Refrain from judgment
Look for consensus

Telling someone what you want without listening to what he or she wants might get you what you need. But, listening first is a more reliable strategy and will probably get both of you what you want.

And isn’t that a better choice?

Are You Change Resistant?

Simply because “That’s the way it always was” is not a reason for “That’s the way it needs to continue to be.”

Change can be frightening and uncomfortable. There’s no arguing that. However, it’s also necessary as change is the only thing that’s actually constant.

We can’t escape it. We cannot avoid it.

The sooner we accept it, the better we will be.

Embrace the new.

Do You Know How Prosperous You Are?

April 15, 2013 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Prosperity is not about money.

It is about how you feel.

If you just sent in your check to the IRS, the first word that comes to mind might not be “prosperous.” However, compared to how more than half the world lives, you are beyond wealthy.

If you have your health, you’re prosperous.
If you have the freedom to love and to believe, you’re prosperous.
If you have enough to eat, you’re prosperous.
If you have to cut back on how much you eat, believe it or not, you’re exceptionally prosperous (seriously).

Accept prosperity whenever you can; it comes in many forms.
