This sounds like You!

I will take control of my life...

Not by storm, but with gentle, yet firm nudging.

I will be paving my own road to match my Vision.

I am the favorite to win the game that I create.

I know others will help, but I will rely on myself.

I am powerful beyond measure - that's just how it is.

Yours in "You" - Coach

Do you have a Vision?

If not, create a beautiful Vision of what you can give, to maximize your potential, your life and the world.

If you already have one, or once you get one, you must convince yourself first...of the Vision.

That's what entrepreneurs do, to rally the backing and the people.

Heck, Christopher Columbus, got 3 ships and a crew to sail over the
edge of the earth, when it was believed to be flat at the time.

But you must convince yourself first, in order to allow your Vision to become reality..

When Leadership is diluted...

Vision suffers.

Or is it:

When Vision is diluted...Leadership suffers.

I'm thinking, both statements are as true as the sky.

Vision and Leadership go hand in hand, and one cannot stand alone.

Be the Leader of your Vision...

We are Powerful beyond measure.

My friend and mentor Tom Mendoza, Vice Chairman of Network Appliance (#1 on Forbe's list of 100 Best Companies to work for) delivered a Powerful speech at one of the companies yearly sales conventions...

It was titled "The Power of One".

All Greatness starts with "One"...one Vision, one individual, one focus,
one goal.

In understanding the "Power of One", we can create anything, and with
the attraction and focus of the "Power of One", other people and other
things, can unite in the same direction - creating a domino effect that
can achieve or conquer whatever is started by "One"...

So let's embrace the "Power of One" and the Greatness that follows,
allowing the process to unfold.

Yours in the "Power of One" - Coach

Are you Vague...

Or are you Clear, when it comes to your Vision of your life?

Either way, your future will, most likely, be the same.

"Hazy goals, achieve, at best, Hazy results.

So be careful on what you want your future to be, because the starting
point and the way you envision it, will be the way your future ends up.

Starting off the New Year...

Is the Time to plan out our Future!

Using the 2009 Vision Planners is a great way to go.

Writing down where we currently are on page 7 is a great start. Then we
can plan for the year, 5 years and so on.

When we write down where we want to be, or where we see ourselves in
the future and in making our goals, it makes sense to be objective in
the process.

By being objective, or an observer, if you will, allows us to see what
this person called "me" can really do, and what we are capable of..
Don't think of how to get there or the roadblocks that will come along
the way - for those will be dealt with once we start.

Just create the life you want and deserve, and let the process begin.

And If you don't have your 2009 Vision Planner - you can pick one up at
Zappos.com or they are available on the Zappos.com site, in the Zappos
Library.

Tough times never last...

But tough people do.

Looking back on our tough times from the past, we can see that the
tough times made us stronger and in most cases, the really tough
situations, have allowed us to change course and ultimately, were
really blessings in disguise.

If everything were easy, there would be no resistance and with out
resistance, we would get lazy, as our effort would not be needed, and
our "game" would become weak.

Therefore we must stay strong, and view any situation which comes our
way, as an opportunity for us to open up new doors of the future, and
let the past be the past.

So in our future, it's not the tough times we focus upon, it's the
opportunities that will come to be, that needs to be within our vision.

Yours in "Tough times never last" - Coach

Don't let go...

If you have a dream - don't let go.

If you have a plan and things seem to get in the way - don't let go.

If your sight gets clouded, remember you still have your vision - don't
let go.

It is your life - don't ever let go.
