6 Ways to Bring Your Lifetime Dreams to Fruition

bring lifetime dreams to fruition

Have you ever had a dream or desire to do something, go somewhere special, create something, or attain a material item or career move but held off making it a reality? I’m sure you have—whether it be to take your family on a special vacation, purchase a bigger home, attain a new position, or get that new fishing boat.

I have had a dream for 25 years that I am finally making a reality in 2017. I’ll share it with you but my intention for this Monday Motivator is to focus on why we don’t make things happen sooner and encourage you to bring your lifetime dream to fruition.

In 1990, we were living in Virginia Beach. I had just started Office Dynamics. I had a great mentor named Linda Miles who had an established speaking business. Linda was a big hit with the dental industry. Linda used to hold seminars for dentists on cruise ships. I thought that was such a cool idea. And I really wanted to do the same thing for administrative professionals. Well, I got very close to doing the seminar cruise but it never happened. To be honest, I think I was way ahead of my time.

While years have passed, I have never forgotten that dream. After doing our research and taking other necessary steps, we are holding the first Learning at Sea for Executive Assistants and Administrative Assistants in March 2017.

So what about you? What has been in your soul, heart or on your mind for months or years that you are yearning to do, be or have? I have read and believed that a person will know they should take action on something when it does not leave them. In other words, when you continue to have the same thought or dream over and over, you probably need to take action. Whether it be with your spiritual life or relationships, parenthood, or financial dreams.

What stops us from chasing down our dreams?

Actualizing Your Professional Goals with a Personal Manifesto

creating a manifesto

As I prepare for my upcoming free webinar for administrative and executive assistants on Actualizing Your Professional Goals, I came across an image from an exercise I did with my team a few years ago.

The exercise was to create our own personal manifesto. It’s like a vision, motto or credo for your life. I called mine “You Can’t Press Instant Replay.” Everyone on the Office Dynamics team wrote and designed their own.

Here’s mine: [Read more…]

Stop Allowing Bad News to Destroy Your Good Attitude

attitude is a choice

Attitude IS a Choice. Do you let the bad news destroy your good attitude?

Stock market has gone wild-for the worse.
Blizzards, giant snowstorms and ice smack the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast
Recent celebrity deaths including Glenn Frey (Eagles) and Celine Dion’s beloved husband-both died from cancer.
The political arena is intensifying. The boxing gloves are on.
Former Olympic downhill champion, Bill Jonson, dies.

Who wants to read or hear the news? Not me. It is very disheartening, sad, and upsetting. It’s easy to let all this bad news destroy your good attitude.

But these are the realities we live with folks. Not to mention all the problems you hear from your coworkers. And we won’t stop reading or seeing it unless we completely shutter ourselves away.

So are we to do? How do we protect ourselves so we don’t get into a funk from all the “bad stuff” that is happening? How do we keep our focus on our life and not get sucked into everything else? What can we do to not let bad news, whether from the media or neighbors or friends or family, drag us down leaving us with anxiousness and fear? [Read more…]

Create the Career and Life You Want

Your-Destiny-Is-In Your-Hands

Your destiny is in your hands.

I was in the middle of finalizing several items that are going to be placed in a new product: Star Achievement Series® Facilitator Kits. I came across a letter I wrote that gets distributed to participants who go on the Star Achievement journey. Here is a segment of what I said:

“Your destiny is in your hands. Every day, you have the opportunity to create the career and life you want. Yes, we know there will be a few boulders or rocks on the journey. These are opportunities to grow.”

Boy, this could not be a better time for you to absorb this (and for me to be reminded of what I say). In fact, Jasmine Freeman just talked to me about how many assistants are interested in learning about setting goals and mapping out a plan. So I think it is a good idea for me to dive into the topic during January.

As we begin a new year, we must realize our life and destiny IS in our hands. Yes, things are not always going to go the way we planned. And life is going to throw obstacles and rocks at us but it is still up to us as to what we do with what you have been delivered. You choose whether to see barriers and roadblocks as tests of your commitment to your goal or a “sign” that you should give up. [Read more…]

Live Your BIG & BOLD Life Free Webinar Replay

 

Access the free webinar replay here.

Working women hold a unique position in our society. We juggle family, business demands, and social lives. But all too often, we encounter resistance. Glass ceilings, stereotypes, and the physical limitations of time all attempt to hold us back. It’s easy to focus on the needs of others; but in doing so, we fail to nurture ourselves. We’re left feeling overwhelmed, disempowered, and permanently stuck on the “hamster wheel” of a busy life.

Can you relate? If so, put this webinar on your “can’t miss” list.

Join Joan Burge, CEO of Office Dynamics International, for an inspiring look at what it takes to live a BIG and bold life, even in today’s hectic world. Known for her signature “red lipstick” flair and empowering mantra, Joan will show you how get the unique “edge” that makes you stand out as exceptional in all areas of life (without running yourself ragged in the process!). Invite your female friends and fellow colleagues for this life- and career-changing event.
