Your feelings turn into your thoughts,
Your thoughts turn into your words,
Your words turn into your beliefs,
Your beliefs turn into your behavior,
And your behavior turns into action
which produces a result or reality.

As you look at your life; what’s most important to you? Write it down, now look at the clutter; things taking up space with no meaning, what would removing this clutter do to whats important to you? As you look at the clutter look at the big things 1st, box it up to give away or bag it for the curb. Living similar is just a few steps away.

Laughter releases endorphins, giving us the ‘feel good factor’
Acts as aerobic exercise and is like ‘internal jogging’
Unleashes inhibitions, breaks down barriers
Great team building tool encourages better communication
Helps boost our immune system which helps us resist disease
Tones muscles, improves respiration and circulation
Encourages positive thinking and creativity
Relaxes the whole body by reducing stress and tension
~ The American School Of Laughter Yoga

The best networkers know that networking is always about the other person and never about yourself. It is genuine and authentic to have the other persons needs and interest at the forefront of any networking conversation. When it comes to networking he or she who helps the most people wins. They are the people you remember for the right reasons.
Here are some ways to be remembered at a networking event for the right reasons:
1. Wear a smile: People like to be around people who look like they’re having fun and are happy.
2. If you want to be remembered as a dynamic and interesting communicator, let the person to whom you are speaking talk about themselves. It’s amazing they can talk for 8 out of 10 minutes and they will walk away thinking how interesting and likable you are.
3. Be present and honor the person you are networking with. Listen to them. Ask them questions. Make it clear they are important to you.
4. Networking starts with an expressed need. Let them express their needs and do what you can to see those needs fulfilled. Ask how you can be of assistance and be interested in the answer.
5. Be a connector. People will let you know what they need, often you know of others who can fulfill that need. Make the referral, it’s powerful to have someone call you to thank you for the outstanding referral or opportunity that was generated as a result of your interaction with them.
6. Follow through and do what you said you were going to do!

If you’re like most of us, you have made New Years Resolutions in the past. I know I have and I always started out; great guns, full speed ahead only to have my resolutions loose resolve and fall to the wayside as the work kicks in and life gets too busy. I know I wanted the benefits of my resolution, but somehow everything else seemed to take priority. Here are 11 items I have found beneficial in making changes that matter and last.
1) What outcome do you want for 2010 and what is meaningful about this outcome?
2) How will you master the skills to get to make this outcome inevitable ?
3) How will you design an environment to sustain the use of these skills?
4) How will you regularly monitor your results and identify the outs you give yourself?
5) How will you identify any roadblocks quickly and take action.
6) What is my plan to circumvent the real road blocks?
7) What are my top 10 most meaningful values and what are the top 10 values you are actually living in?
What are your top 10 behaviors, things that feel great and give you results?
9) What are your worst 10 behaviors, how are they holding you back?
10) Have fun, but play to win in your own life.
11) Find a champion or a partner in your change and be accountable.
I wish I could say it another way but, CHANGE is WORK. These 11 factors play heavy in making change last and these factors are worth the work.
