Hi this is Coach Trish,
Today's life tip is number 7 in my 10 part series on how to improve your career, courtesy of the Brian Tracy program I'm listening to. Number 7 is, develop a positive attitude. A positive attitude is simply the ability to remain positive and optimistic in the face of ups and downs. Now your attitude and your personality are largely determined by how you explain things to yourself. Stuff happens to all of us right? But it depends on how you explain it inside your own head. So if something happens and you explain it as, "I always have bad luck, that's the worst thing that's ever happened to me!" You're going to have a negative outlook. But if you explain it as, "Well, you know, this is a learning experience, maybe there was a reason for that, maybe I will be able to use this experience in the future, maybe there's a reason for this" whatever. But if you explain it to yourself in a positive way, you can put a positive spin on it, you can remain in a positive state. And employers, partners, customers, everybody wants to be around positive people. So developing and keeping a positive attitude is number 7 on how to improve your life and your career.

Hi this is Coach Trish,
Today's life tip is part 5 of my 10 part series of how to improve your career courtesy of a Brian Tracy program I'm listening to. Number 5 is work ethic. Develop good work habits, good work ethic. Become the hardest working person you know. But don't just work hard, be effective. Being efficient is working hard, being efficient is doing things right but being effective is doing the right thing. Constantly ask yourself, "What is the best use of my time right now?" If you can do that and develop a good work ethic, you will become indispensable. You'll be indispensable at any job, indispensable in any group that you're a member of, you'll be indispensable. Another way to look at it is how much supervision do you need? Only the top 10% of people can work without supervision. If you can work as though everyone were watching you when nobody is, you will not require any supervision. People who require supervision, require someone to be paid to supervise them and that pay is going to come out of the money that they would be making. So if you can work independently, without supervision, you make all the pay. And few people can do that, it's the top 10%. But frankly if you're reading this or watching this video, you are either in the top 10% or you are on your way to the top 10% because the bottom 90 won't take the time to do this, they won't take the time to improve themselves. The majority of the people are watching TV right now. If you would like a 30 complimentary consultation, sign up on my contact me page and request it there. And always remember YOU ARE POWERFUL!

Hi this is Coach Trish, 
My life tip for today is part 4 in my 10 part series, 10 ways to improve your career from Brian Tracy. Number 4 is money. You need money to make money right? You always hear that. But you know what you really need, is you need to learn to save money. Because money gives you freedom. What if the opportunity of a lifetime comes along and you don't have the money to take advantage of it? You need to learn to save money. And just start small. Save a little bit of money every day, every week, every month and as you save a little bit, you learn to save a little more and you learn to save a little more and pretty soon you might become addicted to having money in the bank! It's so important, we think about money giving us the freedom to do stuff, go where we want, things like that. But money also gives you the freedom to take advantage of opportunities when they come about. If there's something you really want to do, something to improve your career, a class a seminar, things like that, you have to have the money to do it. So start now, just save a little bit, I don't care if it''s a dollar a week, but start, and you're on your way!

This is Coach Trish and today's life tip is going to be the first in a 10 part series from a Brian Tracy program that I'm listening to. 10 ways you can increase your income, improve your life, improve your career. First one is education. For every additional year of education you have, it means about $200,000 over your lifetime. Now this doesn't have to be just traditional education. Although that's what the studies were mostly done on, high school versus college, versus graduate school. An extra $200,000 for every additional year of education. But if you are continually educating yourself, your income can continually go up. It doesn't have to be, like I said, college or high school, it doesn't have to be traditional. It's seminars, books, tapes, making your car a moving university. Whenever I'm in my car I'm always listening to cds, listening to tapes, I'm listening to Les Brown, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins is another one of my favorites. Constantly be educating yourself. The average person reads 1 or 2 books a year. You can easily read 2 books a month. At the end of a couple of years, you will be an expert in your field. So continuous education. For a complimentary consultation, go to my website and request it on the contact me page. And always remember, YOU ARE POWERFUL!

Hi this is Coach Trish,
My life tip for today is, You want to change your life? Decide to! Along with being a big Les Brown fan I am a big Anthony Robbins fan. One of the things Anthony talks about is that you can change your life in a second. You can change your life in an instant, with a decision. That's the most powerful thing that we can do to change our lives, decide to. So think about the things that you've been putting off, changes you want to make, why haven't you done them? There may be lots of reasons but when it really comes down to it, you have not decided to change. So one of the things I'm deciding to do is I'm going to start posting these videos in the morning. I'm a bit of a procrastinator so I've been posting these videos at 11 o'clock at night. Cause I'm like, "I have to get one up today!" I may still shoot them at night, but I'm going to start posting videos every morning. So that's something I'm deciding to do. So that means I have to act in advance. I have to have a video done cause I am not going to get up in the morning at 6 o'clock in the morning to post a video by 8, that has to be done the day before. So what is it in your life that you've been wanting to do, meaning to do but you haven't done? Decide and get it done!

Hi this is Coach Trish,
 My life tip for you today is get off balance. Sometimes when you need to get things done, you need to get off balance. That's how we get things done. Great things are rarely done when you're balanced. However, beware that it does not become a habit. Because that is no way to live your life on an ongoing basis. For example, when I was throwing my event, LIFE 2013 back in November, I was completely off balance for 3, maybe 4 weeks before the event. But I needed to be, my entire focus was on that event, making it a success and that's where it needed to be. But after the event was over, I needed to find my balance again. I needed to sleep again, spend some time with my kids, re-find that balance. And sometimes it's okay to get off balance, we need to get things done. But if you stay there long term, other areas of your life will start to suffer. So every now and then, just take a look at your life and are you feeding your spirit, your soul? Are you spending time with the people closest to you, feeding those relationships? Are you taking care of your health? Are you sleeping? Are you taking care of your business, your finances? These are all areas we need to focus on, but every now and then, one of them will need more attention than the others, and that's okay. But just find your way back when it's all over.

Hi this is Coach Trish,
My life tip for today is, you don't have to hit bottom, to move up! I was thinking the other day, why is it that so many people who are successful have these stories of hitting bottom? And I think it's because of fear. Cause almost always, when we don't do something, it's because we're afraid. Very often it's because we're afraid of rejection right? We're afraid of the rejection of people we don't even know and will never see again. But we're afraid, fear is what stops us. But people who've hit bottom, people who have lost everything, have lost fear. Because there's nothing left to fear. What could be worse than losing everything you've got, hitting bottom, some people have a story of even living on the street! Once you've done that, there isn't any fear and they're able to move forward without fears. I think that's one of the reasons that sports like skydiving are so popular too. You know if you go skydiving, that's a huge fear, it's death right? Death coming at you as the ground speeds up towards you. After that, making a sales call doesn't seem so scary. But you know what? You don't have to face death, you don't have to lose everything, you can flip the tables on yourself. Just give yourself a little reverse motivation. Think, what if you never take action? On that goal you want to do, on that thing you want to accomplish. What if you never do it? What if you don't do it for a whole year? What are you going to miss out on? What are the people you care about going to miss out on? What if you don't do it for 5 years?What if you don't do it for 10 years? What if you come to the end of your life and you haven't done that thing. Now your life is over and it's too late. And then turn it around. What if you do? What if you take action? What are you going to gain? What things are you going to have in your life that you didn't have before? What are you going to be able to do for the people you care about, the people you love, the people who depend on you? What if you do? What if it works? It's worth a try isn't it?

Hi this is Life Coach Trish,
My life tip for you today is, if you had your life to live over, do you think you could do more? Do you think you could do better? Probably, yes. Well I have good news for you, your life isn't over. So start right now, doing more and doing better. My friend Les Brown says, "You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great." So here's an idea for you; what is the least you could do? That thing that you've been wanting to do, that project you've been putting off, the thing you want to learn. Whatever it is you want to do, what is the least you could do? Do that! Write down the 3 smallest actions you could take to get you started and get started. Those actions will start to build momentum and you'll want to do more and it'll be easier. So there you go, get started.

Often we procrastinate because we don't know where to start. Start small!

Hi this is Coach Trish,
My life tip for today is something I learned in my mastermind. You're either winning or you're learning. And that's the way we look at everything that doesn't go exactly as we had wanted it to right? A lot of times we tend to look at those things as failures. But not so. If you tried something, that was brave, that was courageous, that was stepping out there. That's not a failure no matter how it went. And if it didn't go the way you wanted it to go, you definitely learned something. Reminds me of when I was a kid, I had a pony, and it threw me off and ran over me. Well, that felt like a big failure at the time. I was hurt for a long time, I didn't get back on that pony for a month! But when I did, I was so much a better rider. I was more careful, I paid more attention, I held on a little tighter to the reigns, I just directed the horse a little bit better. It really did make me better, I was learning. So there you go. If something doesn't go exactly as you wanted, don't be upset, look for the lesson in it and how can you do better next time

Hi this is Coach Trish,
Today at the Women's Wisdom meeting, which is an organization which I am a part of, Rhonda Britten came and spoke and she spoke on fear and she said some very interesting things. Beware when fear tries to trick you. Fear will try to trick you that it's the voice of reason or your intuition or the voice of spirit. And fear is just as smart as you, it's just as educated as you, it's just as spiritual as you are, it's tricky! So listen to the difference between the voice of fear and the voice of spirit, God, your intuition, that internal voice that you know is guiding you. The internal voice speaks about possibilities and gentle caution and the future. But fear speaks of the past. Fear speaks things like, "remember the last time you tried this? What if, you know, something happens like that?" Caution, or the voice of reason will say something more like, "Slow down, think about it, what do you think?" Fear is fast, the voice of your intuition is slow. So learn the difference, don't let fear trick you, learn the difference between the two. Take a deep breath, sit quietly for a moment and you'll be able to tell.
