Getting It Together!
Checklists are awesome! Plan your work and then work your plan. It's so worth it and you feel so accomplished when you get to check something off. It's amazing the rush of confidence you feel when little by little you are reaching your goals!

The Woman Who Has It All Together!
The Woman Who Has It All Together!
Have you ever met someone who just seems to have it all together? They always look great, seem to be happy, organized and not nearly as frenetic as what’s going on in your brain. Even their hair looks freshly colored, cut and blown out. And then there’s you. You look pretty good on the outside, but inside you feel up and down, one minute on, one minute off, one minute organized, the next, well, not so sure. How do they do it? (you ask yourself). Those women. The other women. The truth is, believe it or not, YOU probably are one of those women from the perspective of someone else. Guaranteed there are at least a handful of women out there who are looking at you and wondering—how does she do it—get dinner on the table, the kids shuttled to their activities, her business up and running and time for an afternoon jog—believe it or not, you are likely more THAT WOMAN than you think. So take a deep breath, relax. Once you get it together inside, life will be a little more seamless—you’ll feel like you’re coasting about 2 inches off the ground, watching yourself—the observer of perfection—and a giant sigh of relief.

The Law of Progress!
One of the outstanding ironies of history is the utter disregard of ranks and titles in the final judgments men pass on each other. The final estimate of men shows that history cares not an iota for the rank or title a man has borne, or the office he has held, but only the quality of his deeds and the character of his mind and heart.
Devotion:
The most uncomfortable place for an entrepreneur is a comfortable place!
The minute anybody comes to the conclusion that he has arrived and he's satisfied and he's gone as far as he wants to go, watch out! -- The minute you get the feeling of, "Ah, I've made it!" -- And you're satisfied with what you've accomplished, that's as far as you get! You never get any further. -- The law of progress is: If you don't keep on getting more, you'll lose what you've got! -- The minute you think you have it and you sit down to enjoy it, that's when you lose it!
This is where most great movements first began to decline: They eased into a false sense of security and complacency, lost sight of their goal -- or lost the faith to attain it -- stopped moving and stopped changing things. -- When you come to the point that you want to stand still, you're going to backslide! -- It is impossible to stand still in a life with purpose! You are either making progress, going ahead, climbing upward everyday a little further, accomplishing more, serving more faithfully, giving more -- or you are slipping backward the other direction and you are on your way down.
Are you alive and going, or dead and settling? Don't settle down and vegetate and become like the rest of the bumps on the logs! -- Rise and live! -- Move now with the life, or you'll be left behind!
