Sometimes things seem impossible. We doubt ourselves, we tell ourselves we can’t do it. Quieten the inner critic. You can do this, perseverance always pays great rewards.

Dreams mean we get things done. Every successful person, product or business began with a dream. What’s your dream?

Don’t ever be too hard on yourself. Business idea didn’t take off or you couldn’t stick with your budget. We’re human and we sometimes fail and fall. That’s not what matters, it’s if you get back up and what you do next.

Research, research, research. Rushing in without looking at options, checking out prices, reading reviews can cost you money when you both try to save money and make money. Spend some time up front and you’ll win every time.

One of our biggest downfalls is comparing ourselves to other people. Don’t think you have to follow someone else’s footsteps. You are unique and often finding your own way on the road less traveled, leads to great success.

Everyone has something they’re good at. Sometimes it’s just a matter of figuring it out. This week, dive deep and see what your special talent is and put it to work.

Sometimes we stand in our own way. Write something positive about yourself and put it someplace you can see it each day. When self-doubt creeps into your thoughts, remember the positive thing you said about yourself.

It’s a new month, a new season so sweep away thoughts that aren’t serving you. Start this season with determination to reach your goals. Let’s finish this year strong.

We often think I’ll be happy if this changes, if this didn’t happen etc. Be grateful, look at all the pluses in your life, what a wonderful person you are, and happiness will follow.
