Be Unstoppable!

Posted on March 30, 2015 by Kim Jones

What separates the successful from those who are not quite making it? It’s the tools, frameworks, foundations and systems that they have. Foundations that help them to create the kind of total success that seems out of reach to others.

You have the power to create FREEDOM in your life and business. Yes, you can have time freedom, emotional freedom and money freedom.

The only thing that is stopping you is your toolbox. What is missing? Keep reading!

Stepping into this freedom will allow you to thrive and grow in your life and business, and this will make a difference in your relationships and the lives of others around you.

Are you someone who desires to have more time, emotional and money freedom? Are you unclear how to create momentum and take the necessary action steps to attain your desired outcomes? Do you feel stuck and unclear about your vision or where to start? Maybe you are spinning your wheels and would like to be more focused and productive? Or your fear is holding you back?

Here are some tips to add to your toolbox to help you get to the next level of fulfillment and total life success:

Take Action: Any action, no matter how small a step, is taking a step in the right direction. Being IN ACTION is key to getting to the next level. Just be sure it’s action that is focused on where you want to go!
Don’t let fear hold you back or keep your stuck in your tracks. Write down what you fear and create a plan to help work your way through them. Can your fears be challenged? Are limiting beliefs holding you back?
Get Momentum: Stop trying to do it all yourself. Work with a mentor or coach if you really want to break cycles and patterns and uplevel yourself. Or try joining a mastermind group to create focused support and accountability together.
Know and understand the framework you operate from – This impacts all the decisions you make. Understand and explore how you make decisions to meet your needs in both positive and negative ways.
Believe what you desire IS possible for you!

Learn Secrets to Total Life Success

Walt Disney showing Disneyland plans to Orange County, CA officials.

Did you know that Walt Disney was rejected 302 times before he got financing to build Disneyland?

And did you know that Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting to a friend in his lifetime, and he still completed over 800 pieces and the most expensive one now sells for over $142 million?

Here’s the deal. I know you are juggling a lot of hats and trying to keep things together in each area of your life. And sometimes it can be discouraging when things aren’t fitting together.

It can be pretty frustrating to feel stuck or like ‘this is the best it can be,” when we are getting stressed out, not making progress as we would like and overall feeling unfulfilled with our lives and where we are “at”. To be honest with you, I just don’t want this for you – Ever!

Some of my clients even have experienced the opposite of what was just described. They are uber successful in their career/biz yet struggle similarly with being happy and fulfilled. They have not been able to find a rhythm and integrate the different parts of their lives together so they can feel that total success.

So don’t wait and put off finding your total life success…I made a free speaker series for you and you can get access immediately! (Please don’t put this off because this event is time sensitive!)

I had to recommit myself and was able to push through the holidays (which can be a difficult time to get responses) and ended up with 30 amazing industry experts to share their top secrets to success with you!

New friendships and collaborations have sprouted from these efforts and I’ve even been invited to several events, business opportunities and a few volunteer and vacation offers too!

You see this is what I truly love…Connecting with others. And this is what I want to GIVE TO YOU because when we connect we can learn from each other, and then we can be that much closer to achieving the success we desire, as we define it, in our own lives.

6 Mindset Shifts You Need for Success

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Kim Jones

“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!” Do you remember this story, The Little Engine That Could? I love this childhood story and I cannot tell you how many times in my life I have used this phrase.

As even children’s characters will attest, a winning mindset is a trait to be sought after. It attracts happiness, health, fulfillment and success. But what is a mindset, really?

A mindset is a person’s established set of attitudes that are based on their assumptions. These assumptions then determine a person’s reactions to and interpretations of any event, environment or situation.

Whether positive or negative, a person’s mindset is engrained, habitual and affects all aspects of his or her professional and personal life.

Is Your Mindset Propelling You Forward or Holding You Back?

When facing a new challenge, do you react with confidence, knowing that with time, effort and practice you can succeed? Or do you find yourself questioning your abilities, talent and motivation?

Do you view failure as simply part of the process? Or do you avoid challenges in order to preserve your pride?

When you encounter setbacks and criticism, do you recalibrate and persevere or simply give up to save face?

How a person interprets and answers those questions gives insight into what type of mindset they have.

Carol Dweck, a Stanford University psychologist, identifies two general mindsets in her book Mindset. They are: fixed and growth.

Fixed Mindset

Talent and intelligence is static
It’s better to avoid challenges
It’s okay (even preferable) to quit before failure
Effort is pointless
Ignores useful criticism and feedback
Views success of others as a threat

Growth Mindset

Talent and intelligence can be developed
Embraces challenges to grow
Failure is an opportunity for learning
Effort leads to mastery and success
Uses criticism and feedback to improve
Finds inspiration and learning from the success of others

It’s easy to tell someone to develop a growth mindset, but how can a person really shift and change their own mindset? Below are six ways to begin.

Six Mindset Shifts to Enhance Success

Embrace failure instead of avoiding it. The faster the failure, the quicker the learning. Before starting his auto manufacturing company, Henry Ford failed at his first several businesses. What would the industrial landscape look like had he given up after his first try? Remember, embracing failure also means success can arrive that much sooner.
Think abundance instead of scarcity. When it comes to spending money on self-improvement, many people get into resistance due to cost. But people are attracted to those who believe in and value themselves. Instead of thinking of personal growth as an expense, re-frame it as an investment in your future and all possible opportunities to come.
Embrace challenges. People who have a mindset of “growth” realize that challenges are just opportunities in disguise, and they choose to actively seek them out. Even the most challenging of situations we can learn from.
Use setbacks as learning opportunities. No matter what your situation is or how much you have planned, obstacles will surface. We do not have a crystal ball and no one can predict with any real accuracy what type of obstacles and setbacks may occur. Instead of wasting energy trying to prevent the unknown, tackle obstacles using your problem solving skills (there are always at least 3 different options) so that you can grow through the moment.
Don’t take it personally. While it can be difficult in the moment, some of the best opportunities for personal and professional growth stem from leveraging harsh criticism and feedback. How well do you listen to the complaints from the people surrounding you in your life?
Stop re-inventing the wheel. Instead of resenting others for what they have accomplished, look to them to learn how they did it and turn that to your advantage. Surround yourself by success and grow!

Incorporating these simple, strategic shifts in mindset will not only provide opportunity for growth and positive outcomes and results (ie. bottom line), but will also support you in building self-confidence, determination, endurance and action towards productivity and fulfillment!

Take Steps to Achieve More In 2014!

Posted on July 31, 2014 by Kim Jones

So I want this to inspire you to get clear and focused for the remainder of the year! You know, July is over and there are 5 months remaining in 2014. I’m not writing this to scare you that the clock is ticking, but rather it’s time to stop wishing and to start taking action to MAKE something happen!

So take a moment and ask yourself, what are the top 6-7 things I’d like to see happen in my life AND business?

Make a schedule and stick to it! Next, circle your top 2 for your business and 1 for your personal life –whatever really stands out and gets you excited! Now CREATE a plan of action to put these into play in the next 30-60 days. This means take out a calendar and map out a plan of action with a deadline at the end for your success!

But wait, are these items income producing for your business? Make sure if your goal is to increase your business income (which was one of the overwhelming areas of need identified in a recent survey I posted), that you FOCUS on steps that generate income for your business! That’s right, often this is what business owners inadvertently miss as they get distracted in the busy work and things that you can spend hours on but don’t really have a direct impact on your end game of making money in your business.

So now, get really focused, take a look at the list you just made, and DECIDE what you want to laser in on in your business and life right now and do it! Remember, deciding is the most important step here.

Decide, commit and make a plan of action.

I honestly see a lot of people at this point drift off, not make a plan and then of course, they don’t get the results they want. No excuses today, and if you are having trouble at this point, send me a message and I’m happy to hop on a call with you.

Finally, I want you to plan out how you can spend a little time every day working on this specific goal. Use a calendar and schedule time daily. And, if you really want to hold yourself to these next steps, post your plan publicly or in a group, ask a friend to be an accountability partner and post your goals up in several places in your home and office. I always find when we speak up about what we are doing, then we create energy to help us fall in line with and really commit to our next steps!

I’d love to hear what awesome action you have in store for the rest of 2014. Send me a message with your next steps!
