[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] Lifting the weight of “Should’s” and “Have To’s”
Last year I made a decision to stay at home for the holidays instead of traveling to see in-laws, as we usually do. I chose to lay aside guilt, potential disapproval, and potential judgment.
O.W.W.L. Success Tip: Avoiding guilt and disapproval doesn’t help anyone, even you.
I have always been a people pleaser, wanting to help others and putting their best interests ahead of mine. The problem with this pattern is that I don’t get my own needs and wants met, which can cause fatigue, burnout, resentment, and self-pity. Not an empowered way to live!
In addition, guilt and fear of judgment doesn’t help anyone else either. AND it doesn’t make people like you any better than they did before.
I had worked very hard to create a six-figure business, expanding my programs, hiring new team, and increasing my clientele. To create our next year goals and strategies in a powerful way, I needed some down time. Traveling, living out of a suitcase, and relative interaction would not have given me the clarity and peace required. This was not a spontaneous choice. There will be consequences. But it was an empowered choice.
How will you stay in clarity and peace during the hectic holiday time? To what will you say no so that you can say yes to what really counts?
Believing in your powerful choices,

[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] How to get 30% more productivity and creativity every week
In a video training from one of my mentors, New York Times best-selling author and personal development trainer, Brendon Burchard, he spoke on “Stragglers vs. Strivers and the Secret to Success” from his Motivation Manifesto series. Thank you, Brendan for these brilliant insights!
O.W.W.L. Success Tip: Be the guardian of your days and your dreams.
In order to get 30% more productivity and creativity, Brendan says we have to stop being a slave to the world’s agendas. We have to be directive instead of reactive. We have to have the passion, motivation, and momentum that sustains us over time.
He gives several tips to do this, including having a manifesto for life that you share with your loved one or partner. But my favorite aha’s came from his declaration that we be the “guardian of your days and your dreams.” Brendon believes, as I do, that we must be directive instead of reactive in order to be successful.
Here are the two ways to do this:
- You have to OWN your mornings by being purposeful in first hour of the day. So don’t check your voice mails or inbox within that first hour. If you do, it puts you at the effect of other people’s agenda and needs. Be proactive/directive for at least seven days by NOT checking emails or voice mails in that first hour. Instead, go for a run, journal, and eat a healthy breakfast. In your journaling, ask who you need to reach out today, what are your key priorities today. Questions like these take you from reactive to directive. They set the tone for your day. Brendon claims that doing this simple daily habit will result in 30% more productivity each week. But if you do check inbox in that first hour, you’ll actually lose 30% of your productivity.
- To improve your success, Brendon also suggest that you make sure you have two blocks of time during each day in which you do not to respond to anyone’s stuff (like email or voice mail). You don’t look at your phone during these two slots. You just create and contribute. These two time slots are reserved solely for the purpose on creation and contribution. Brendon says that this habit will result in exponential success.
Thank you, Brendon, for your purpose, your passion, and sharing your brilliance with us.
Sincerely,

[Success Tip] What’s Your Recipe for Success?
Studies show that successful people have common traits and activities which not only contribute to their success but are imperative to achieving success. You could say it’s a recipe for success which, like a Betty Crocker cake mix, is tried and true.
Success Tip Determine your recipe for success and don’t trade or diminish the ingredients.
In working with my Executive Platinum Program Coaching clients in areas of Wealth, Weight, and Leadership, these are the crucial areas of focus in order to succeed:
- Well-being (self-care)
- Integrity (whole and complete, keeping promises, etc.)
- Sabotage patterns (conscious and unconscious)
- Context (perspectives and beliefs)
- Relationship with self, others, and the world
- Communication, connection, & relationship skills
- Time management
- Relationship with money, time, and stress
- Vision and purpose
- Forward momentum by combining being and being in action
Do you have a recipe for success? If so, which of these areas have you included in your recipe? Which of these areas is missing or weak? If you would like help with your Winning Recipe, please let me know.
Successfully yours,
Success Story:
We decide to do the O.W.L. Weight Loss Program as a couple because we both struggle with weight and wanted to be at a healthier weight. We support each other, we understand what the other person is going through, and we are eating the same foods. If you are both serious and committed about the program having a partner is one of the best tools around. We keep each other accountable, we support each other and we celebrate together.
