17 Ways to Reinvent Yourself

Excellence is the minimum. Follow Me. Sign Up.


How do I reinvent myself?

Whatever you are looking to reinvent about yourself know that it’s going to take discipline to stay on track. #NoDaysOff When it comes to reinventing yourself you have to understand and decide on one thing. Who do you want it to matter to the most? Is it for yourself or for the people around you? If it’s for you, then you cannot be afraid to change a few things you aren’t happy with. I mean, we go through our lives every day in our pursuit of happiness and if certain portions of our lives aren’t bringing us happiness then change is a very feasible option. 

If it’s for the people around you, your followers, or even your clients then it can be a bit more delicate. I always say “Every time you open your mouth, you’re telling the world who you are. So make it count.” What is it you want your audience to see? What is it you’re looking to change and how dramatic of a change will it be to the people that already support you? Just some things to think about before you start your journey. I’ve come up with a list of ways for reinventing yourself.

You can use any or all of these ways of reinventing yourself:

  1. Decide what areas of your life you want to reinvent. (Also, look at how this change affects the other parts of your life.)
  2. Make a list of the changes you’re looking to make. Get specific. It’s more about the smaller details that will affect the habits you are looking to change or enhance.
  3. Evaluate the changes and how it will affect you and the people around you.
  4. Evaluate how you present yourself and the subtle changes you can make to make those engagements impactful.
  5. TAKE ACTION!
  6. Find people that you would like to learn from or collaborate with in this change. They may know more about its effects than you do at the moment.
  7. Look for people that inspire you. Added inspiration to an already powerful and motivated fire is like adding fuel to it. It will only drive more action.
  8. Read. Research. Study. – If you’re going to try something even if you think it’s new, it probably is a derivative or originated in some way from something else. Research it and give it real meaning.
  9. Be persistent. You want this change more than anyone and only you understand why it means so much. Let the world see that meaning.               
  10. TAKE ACTION!
  11. Use Clarity, Communication and Collaboration. You’ll get better the more you take action with it.
  12. Explore new areas of your city or other locations. See the difference in personalities and how much they are drawn to you.
  13. Ask a lot of questions. Know any mentors or consultants… hint-hint… wink-wink. ;)
  14. TAKE ACTION!
  15. Seek new information, knowledge and ideas.
  16. Consistency is the key, when it comes to reinvention. Stay with it!
  17. TAKE ACTION! (I think you get it by now.)


I want you to do this exercise: Put your arms down at your side. Now, raise your arms out to the side as if you were a human version of the capital letter ‘T’. Now reach all the way up where your hands touch way above your head. Got it? Now realize all of that space from your side all the way to the top of your head. That is your comfort zone. Now I want you to pick a spot on the other side (far side) of the room. It doesn’t matter how far, just far enough where it is out of your immediate reach. If where you stand is your comfort zone, would you be able to get to the spot on the other side of the room without moving? Probably not! But by taking a step toward the spot you are leaving your comfort zone (taking action) and to reinvent yourself, that’s exactly what you’re going to need to do.



Good Luck!

The Struggle with Time


Happy Labor Day :)

I get questions all the time about what problems people are having and how to improve in their business.

Here's one inquiry I received last month that I'm just getting around to. Enjoy.

“Lately, I feel a struggle with time , almost like I need a 28 hr clock. I realize that competitors have an army of workers to complete their tasks, as for myself it's just me and the mountain becomes harder to climb with no support.”

I call this:

The Struggle with Time

When it comes to time, it doesn’t matter who you are, we all have the same 24 hrs in a day. It’s not about having 28 hours in a day but how you use your 24 hours. I’ve been in your shoes thinking to myself "if I use every moment with my hard work I can make it.", right? Soon enough, burnout sets in (feeling fatigued, stressed, overwhelmed) and I’m in no better position than I was before. After doing some major personal development, I learned that if working harder isn’t working as much as I would like, I would need to work smarter. Take the time to understand how you can make parts of your business more efficient even if you are the only employee.

A few ways you could maximize your time:
  • Keep things simple
  • Set an allotted time for an activity and stick to it
  • Eliminate your distractions (Cell phones, emails, etc...)
  • Set minimum goals and deadlines
  • Track your progress
  • Study your results
  • Study one skill you feel you need most to improve your business


Once you understand how to manage your time you’ll see that even big corporations run into the same problems, regardless if they have the workforce or not. Maximizing time (Time Management) is a skill in itself. The mountain can be climbed one step at a time, all you need to do is focus on the next step.

Have a great week.

To reach your goals this year, you should do these 6 Steps.

 Follow Me

Well 2015 is here and if you like it or not, your unfinished goals from last year are still here too. The only reason they made it this far is because they're still on your list of things to do. Now it's time to stop procrastinating and get some of those goals accomplished.

  1. Break down your goals into specific and attainable ones. When the New Year comes in, we tend to set goals that are too vague or very general. You have to get specific. Break down the goal to what it is you specifically want to attain by accomplishing it. Set a date of completion and make it attainable. If you want to sell 1 million books, that's great but let's start by selling the first 100, okay?  
  2. Have an action plan. When we are working on a project or a task or tackling something on our to do list, it's never just what's on the list.We tend to add so many things to the task that we fail to ever get started on the one we set out to do. Stop looking at the mountain of stairs and think about the step in front of you. Each task should be broken down (like in step 1) to get you closer to your ultimate goal. Take it one at a time before moving to the next step in your plan. 
  3. Partner up/network with people. Sometimes just "thinking" that you can do all the work yourself is too much to handle. So why try to do it all on your own? Try to connect with people of like minds and, in some areas, excelled capabilities to help you get your tasks done. I always say "instead of having 1 person do 100% of the work, get 100 people to do 1% each." (And yes, that does equal 100%). 
  4. Be prepared for obstacles. Back in the tenth grade I read John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" for my English class. I wasn't the biggest fan of reading at the time but I did affix a quote to myself from it. One of the best quotes I've read in it was, "the best laid plans of mice and men, often go astray." So true indeed. This quote helped me understand that no matter how hard you plan and how much you think ahead, when the time comes to take action something will go wrong. Things never go as planned so expect them not to. Be prepared and be proactive in anticipating the challenges that may arise.
  5. Do not think failure is not an option. Failure is an option and so is success. You have to decide what your option will be. What you know you should be doing but in turn don't do at all, is a key example of failure being an option. An option you choose by not doing what you should be doing to achieve your goal. Let me be clear, even if you do the things you planned but still don't reach your goal doesn't mean you've failed. It just means you may have some tweaking to do before your success. Find out what it is early and adjust. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." (Thomas A. Edison)
  6. Be decisive in your choices. I can't say it any clearer. Be decisive. Take out all of the excess remnants of other peoples opinions that aren't helping you achieve your goal. Remove all the excess "fluff" when people are explaining things to you and train your mind to get to the point of it, so you can make a logical decision. Try the Cost-Benefit Analysis which asks "What will it cost me? How will I benefit? and What is the risk? If the benefit can't outweigh the other two factors then the decision is easy... you don't do it. See? That wasn't hard. Now apply it to all your future decisions. One more thing, when I say "cost", I'm not just talking about money, the most valuable aspect you have in life is your time. Spend it wisely.


"Time to take action." 
Let's dramatically improve your business.
