We all want to make a difference, either in someone’s life or in the world at large. People want to leave a legacy not just live a life. We just don’t know where to start. Getting started is often the most difficult thing to do but once you get the ball rolling, nothing can stop you.

Here are some small steps in creating a foundation to make a difference.

1. Recognizing you want to make a difference. Ask yourself a few questions first. What kind of difference do you want to make? Where can you start? How can you make a difference or an impact?
2. Make a difference with people who want to make a change. It’s not about you, it’s about working with people who want to make a difference. You can’t force change on another person. Their desire to grow or change comes from within. Look for like minded people that need your help or guidance and who are ready to accept it.
3. Making a difference with other people who have the same goals as you. You can’t...

Massive transformation need not be a big deal to make a big impact. What I mean by that, is small changes or shifts can have huge results in your business or even in your personal life.

Maybe you’ve come to a point where you realize that massive transformation is necessary but you are afraid that it will take too much time or effort away from other areas of your business or your life. Here are three ideas to implement if you want to develop a massive transformation for personal development:

1. Big leaps in thoughts. If you want to change yourself, change the way you talk to yourself in your head. Focus on the positive, avoid complaints and negativity.

2. Breakthrough in feelings. Changing your thoughts will naturally change your feelings. Remind yourself that positive or negative thoughts play a huge role in how you feel. The way you approach a problem or obstacle will also be greatly influenced by your positive or negative thoughts and feelings.

How do we change our thoughts? Sure, it sounds easy, but it's not that simple! Most of us impose limits on our achievements and our happiness by approaching life's problems and challenges with unnecessary negativity. You can change on a superficial level, but what if you want to change yourself in a deeper way? How do we start to change our way of thinking?

Here are five intuitive ways to change your mind and life:

1. Part of your thinking comes from your embedded beliefs. What do you think about work, success, money, love, marriage, children; positive or negative? What you hold true to is probably born from your basic belief system. Your beliefs come from a mixture of how you were raised and what you have learned as an adult through education and personal experience.

2. What do you value? Examples: family vs money or Health vs money. In some cases there have been successful people who have chosen money over their health or family and were not happy. They got the...

There’s a fine line between chasing and attracting. We all want to be successful in our goals. As we strive to build our business we may end up chasing down leads instead of attracting people or businesses to us. Chasing involves going after each individual and wearing them down over time. It’s hard work. Attracting comes naturally and has an organic feel to it that leads itself better to trust.

There are simple strategies to attract people which is far more impactful than chasing people. People naturally gravitate towards what they want. When they arrive at a place they were drawn to, they feel happy, relaxed and ready to learn or buy. But if you were to chase that same person, bombard them with your unsolicited solutions to their problems, they will feel trapped, hesitant to take the next steps or purchase anything from you.

4. Fourth...

Success Leaves Clues
