Quick tip:
“You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” – Winnie The Pooh
I have to admit it; Pooh got it right! If you wait for others to come to you it may never happen. Step out of your comfort zone and go find them; mentors, clients, readers, investors, employers. Whoever it is that you seek; you need to go to where they are!
You Control the Schedule

Quick Tip:
Schedule your life and work around your priorities; not the other way around. It you try to fit the important tasks and moments into an already overcrowded calendar you will fail. Mark the important things down in ink; growth time, creative time, time to build your network and business, time for sales, time for production, time with significant people in your life.
If you are a writer, don’t spend all of your time on Facebook and then run out of time to write. If you are a mom, don’t spend all of your time cleaning and forget to play with your kids. And if you are a business owner, don’t spend all of your time reading email and neglect the activities that grow your business!
