#159| Self-Motivation

June 8, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

How do you start your day?

Do you begin with prayer or meditation? Read excerpts from an inspirational book?

Do you immediate head to the gym and “get your exercise on?” Drink some coffee, tea or a cold beverage?

Do you have to have breakfast – or are you inclined to skip it?

So, after you get your day started, how do you keep going?

Do you view your upcoming week with dread – or anticipation?

If your goal is to maintain your drive and even build your momentum, self-motivation is imperative.

Motivation is what gets you started – Habit is what keeps you going.

Keep going!

#156| Keep It Simple

June 5, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Achieving goals is hard to do when you’re bogged down in minutiae.

Yes, we need to pay attention to details. However, make sure you’re not hiding behind those details and using them as a method of procrastination.

Having the “big picture” in full view is easier to do when we follow the KISS method and Keep. It. Simple.

#153| Create Something Amazing

June 2, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

I’m in a special Facebook group formed by Michelle Y. Talbert of the Her Power Hustle website and podcast.

With the onset of a new week, yesterday Michelle put forth this post:

“Happy Monday Sister Power Hustlers! I’ve found setting my intention to be really helpful for focusing and EDITING/saying no to things that don’t further our goals. That being said, what’s your intention for this week?

My response?

My intention is to create something amazing: A mini course.

What’s yours?

Aptly named “Sister Power Hustle,” of the Facebook group Michelle says, “This community was birthed out of my deep desire to help women entrepreneurs get the information we need to create and sustain our businesses. Through shared resources and networking we can go much further in business than we ever could alone.”

#152| Start Now

June 1, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Today is the first of June, which means in 30 days we will have lived through one-half of the year.

That’s right – 2015 will be half-way over.

So, how are you on your goals? Have you been able to √ something off your list?

Even if you feel like you’re behind on the goals you set for 2015, don’t beat yourself up about it. And even if you didn’t start, don’t worry – we have six months left!

Just remember this:

EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY.

SO START NOW.

#150| I Dare You . . . .

May 30, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

. . . to get out of your comfort zone this weekend.

To do something different.

To try a new restaurant – or if you go to a familiar favorite, select something different from the menu.

I dare you to do something different – and expect a different outcome.

NEVER BE AFRAID TO DARE.

#146| Just Keep Trying

May 26, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

As long as you as an individual… can convince yourself that in order to move forward as best you can you have to be optimistic, you can be described as ‘one of the faithful,’ one of those people who can say, ‘Well, look, something’s going to happen! Let’s just keep trying. Let’s not give up.

Tom Hanks

Stay focused, and by all means keep pushing.

Don’t give up!
