GET MOTIVATED!!

today i went to a GET MOTIVATED business seminar with the ING clan.
it was a really entertaining seminar with speakers such as condolezza rice, zig zigler, colin powell, and rudy giuliani.
an interesting thing i learned was that everyone has a different motivational DNA and that people are motivated and demotivated by certain factors. for example, some one who is a connector is motivated by solving problems but is demotivated by isolation and conflict. on the other end of the spectrum there are producers and those are the Type A personalities. they are ultimately driven by results and demotivated when they have to follow the directions of some one else.
overall, what i got out of the seminar is that the biggest enemy you will ever face is yourself. stop making excuses and do what you KNOW you are capable of. stop letting others dictate how you are going to live your life. you are the only one going to live your life so OWN UP TO IT!

on another note, work is slow. it's not hard to find people to talk to, it's just that the people i talk to aren't really going to become clients. yes, i do want to help people but i also have to think about bills and rent and yucky stuff like that. i am not discouraged though and i know everything will come as it should (in due time).

anyways, i bet most of you have a CC (credit card) and i found an article that talks about the new rules for CCs. take a look! and know what those tricky bastards are doing to you to get more money out of you!

til next time,
angela
