Coaching Tip: Overcoming the Fear of Prospecting: "Action eliminates fear. Once you take action prospecting for your business, the fear of the unknown will fade away. The Phone will get smaller!"
This year we decided to get a cheap bird feeder and hope that some birds would come. Apparently we are the only feeder in the neighborhood because when there is feed in the feeder the whole neighborhood's birds come.
Ship Ahoy!
My life is like a little boat anchored in the harbor. The water is calm and smooth. The breeze is gentle and warm. And, I am safe. But I cannot stay here forever. God wants me to launch out into the wild, open water, to ride the mighty, crashing waves. He wants me to let go. He wants me to trust Him and follow Him wherever He may go.
"If you know these things, happy are you if you do them."
John 13:17

Tip 78 - Meeting people you don't like
-------------------------------------------------------Recently I was playing polo (my new favorite pastime), and a new person was introduced to our regular group. The first impression I got was that he was pretty inauthentic, even untruthful about a few things, and it was a definite put-off.When you meet someone you don't like, you've got two choices. Become annoyed at having to deal with the new person. Or step back and realize that usually when people act like that, it's because of some insecurity and their defense mechanisms are kicking in to protect from being hurt.Initially, I reacted the wrong way. I'm human. But luckily, when it was obvious I was pretty tweaked, a good friend who's also part of my accountability group called me on my behavior.Then I remembered the advice a friend once gave me about how to handle these situations. Do the opposite of your initial reaction. So if I started to push back and be defensive and gruff myself, I actually should choose to be positive and very affirming to help create a comfortable, safe environment for the person I didn't like so much at first, to give them the best opportunity to demonstrate the good they probably really have inside.Even in these relatively brief relationship situations, it pays to focus on generosity and helping others. And in the end, that's the best way to help yourself, too.

We have had an abundance of unusual birds at our house in the last couple of weeks. A Baltimore Oriole and a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak have attempted to come in my office window. I always stop to watch, listen and learn. |  |

Google keeps tweaking its search engine | CNET News.com: "But at its core, Google remains a search engine. And its search pages, blue hyperlinks set against a bland, white background, have made it the most visited, most profitable and arguably the most powerful company on the Internet. Google is the homework helper, navigator and yellow pages for half a billion users, able to find the most improbable needles in the world's largest haystack of information in just the blink of an eye.
Yet however easy it is to wax poetic about the modern-day miracle of Google, the site is also among the world's biggest teases. Millions of times a day, users click away from Google, disappointed that they couldn't find the hotel, the recipe or the background of that hot guy. Google often finds what users want, but it doesn't always."
