Beautiful morning in Maine

I come into work everyday and feel like Larry is inside my head. He always speaks to me personally. I can only imagine how many other people’s lives he is changing. Thank you Larry!

I recently read the saying “happiness is a choice”. Still pondering that.

Choose to be positive and uplifting to/with yourSELF first and it will organically spill onto others.
I started meditating in 2013 and I am amazed at how my awareness level has increased.
Grateful to know you Larry…

I stopped lending credibility to what others thought of me and my actions a long time ago. My yardstick is, would mom approve? And if she would give the thumbs up, anyone else’s opinion just doesn’t much matter.

Short and sweet.. Great attitude… Great life!!!

“your attitude dictates your altitude”

It just seems so obvious, yet so many people today get caught in this trap. Maybe I am judging here – but how about being sure you have your life and financing under control before bringing other people into the sphere? How about having children only when you have established your ability to provide and only with someone you are reasonably sure is worthy, stable, and will “be there” for those children? Seems like a pretty basic concept – but there I go judging again.

I am going to be in the situation and not looking forward to it, but sometimes you don’t have any other choice.
How many times do you forgive if the person makes the same mistake over and over again and doesn’t even feel sorry about it?
The people who get hurt most will be the children.

I waited a very long time to ‘settle down’. I waited until I did a lot of things I wanted to do before I got married and had a child. I think, if you can, this is a good idea. A lot of children suffer the consequences of divorce. I think waiting increases your chances of a happy marriage and/or partnership and happier future generations.

Okay so I am in an abusive relationship and to avoid a “financial hardship” I will stay.

I like this one Larry. I am a big believer in absorbing and accepting change. Although I know I need to adapt quickly sometimes the feet drag… Good Think Daily— Stay nimble. Thanks again

Everyday !

I have 5 patents pending ? Have a great day Larry

1 patent pending.

Larry, thanks for sharing your messages, and great idea to ask for input.

I own and operate a business with over 100 Associates. I spend part of most days walking around with a smile and saying hello…sometimes with a brief chat, but mostly a quick how are you.

And I give each Associate a cupcake on their birthday…..Associates tell me how great it makes them feel but really I get great pleasure from the daily personal connection….and learn something new every day about my business that I did not know.

Larry, I recognize how challenging it is to present these thoughts every day. Please know that they are appreciated and used regularly (and shared with others). Thank you.

The only thing constant is change, so be the leader in changing and guiding your industry.

What is the difference between a net worker and a net worlder? We all network everyday in the workplace to help us get what we need or want to complete daily tasks. I like to act as a net worlder as much as I can. A net worlder tries to keep in touch with all his or her resources all the time and not just when they need something. I reach out and make calls to certain contacts just to say HI and see how they are doing.

Time-do you value your time? Do you value others’s time?
Time is one thing we never get back.
How you spend your time is your choice, but do you spend it wisely?
How you spend others’s time is also your choice, but do you show them you value them and their time?
A good employee values their leader’s time and their fellow team members’s time.
A good leader values their employees’s time and gives insight on time consumption and trains in efficient time use.
Today as you work, spend your time wisely. The clock only goes so far today, and you won’t regain this day again.

“The cavalry ain’t coming. You’ve got to do this yourself.” -Christopher Gardner

We plan and plot our route to success, adapting to circumstances as they change. If no one helps us, we succeed. When someone does come and help us, so much the better! But we never get stuck, needing rescue, success dependent on the intervention of others, passively waiting for it to come or complaining that others didn’t hand us success. The cavalry ain’t coming. You do it yourself.

Without sales the company won’t last. But that doesn’t just mean a a sales person is needed – a whole sales system, a grand sales strategy, a sales machine is necessary.

What are the ways to successfully sell the company’s product and services? What support and training do the sales people need – from management above, assistants below, marketing and product technical alongside? What’s the efficient plan to hire new sales people and have them turning their time into profit as quickly as possible?

If the business owner doesn’t know or value this, who else in the company can?

What are ten two letter words to keep think about from time to time?

“If it is to be it is up to me!

In my construction business “every board every nail” was told to me many years ago:) only resent have I come to terms with that saying! So……..as you say Larry “why are they still working with me?”

Making bad decisions does not make you a bad person.. it only makes you a bad decision maker…

ARE YOU READY TO BLOOM?

‘And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to bloom”. (Anais Nin)

Success is not a matter of skill, but of passion. How bad do you want it?

We tend to worry a lot about the “machinery” used to make a business work be that equipment, machines, buildings,computers, contracts, etc.

We need to keep in mind one of the most important things needed- and that is people. Hippocrates said, “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”

Stay healthy, take care of yourselves, and your personal “machinery” will soar to great heights.

The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside!
I shall be slain in the streets!”…

This is a proverb that whispers to me whenever I find an excuse to not complete a task or try something new. This gift of life that we have is not for us to sit and waste. A great mentor of mine, Dr Kim Carmichael always says” never go to the grave full.

The next time excuses present themselves… do the opposite of the lazy man and GO Get That Lion!!!

People who care go to their job to work – Do as much as they can for what they get and get what they deserve.

People who don’t care go to work to their job. – Do as little as possible for as much as they can get and deserve what they get.

Which one are you?

The unconscious world – Most of what I read in your think daily are what folks already do naturally without knowing or seeing what they are doing. You keep opening my vision wider and wider to the unconscious world I live in.

Time Management?

I hear “I don’t have time” or “When I get the time” often. Some view this as a time management issue. Fair enough.

Another way to look at it is a desire management problem.

Choose what you desire, don’t believe everything you think, be intentional about your desires and you will have all the time you need.

Do you wake up in the morning excited about the day to come? If not, then why?

Larry — you had written Obligation – Commitment = Mess

So I asked what is Commitment — I came up with:

Commitment = Ability + Resources + Will

Your kids WILL NOT be perfect, in spite of your best efforts they will make mistakes… sometimes really big ones. They will need you the most when they feel they have let you and themselves down. When those mistakes happen, BE THERE!!
