2. Focus On A Single Small Change Day 4 with
The results of big changes are dramatic, but they are often produced by
lots of small, incremental, cumulative changes.
So if you’re just starting out and feeling daunted by the challenge, focus
on making a single small change. If you’re not yet in a position to help
others, then make a change in your own life.
Don’t worry how small it is - as long as it is measurable and meaningful.

3. Generosity Makes An Impact Day 12 with
The $100 is irrelevant. The challenge of starting a business for $100 is just
a marketing gimmick.
The way you see the world is what counts.
The real question is, do you believe that you’re capable of starting, growing
and sustaining a business?

If you do, are you hungry enough to accept the risk and challenges that
are part and parcel of entrepreneurship?
If you can answer a resounding yes, then go for it and go big.

Self-doubt and negative self-talk is a huge issue for most people. A great way to

When I have an idea for a new project, I sit down with my project manager
to fill in the holes and created a master task list of everything that needs to be

Then she coordinates feeding the tasks to the team step-by-step.
Sometimes a project will need to be revised, or you’ll see something that you

Completing the project is as simple as following the plan - we don’t stop
until it’s done!

“You’re freer than you think you are.”
This came from a mentor at a time when I felt so hemmed in and trapped
by circumstance. Bankers were calling in their loans, my company was falling
apart, I was being pressured to do things that I didn’t want to do.
And that perspective stopped me in my frantic tracks. I realized I had the power
-- the power to create peace in my life, the power to choose my principles,
the power to sign, walk away, fight, relax -- all of it.
