Opus I - Getting a Handle On Your Stress : Take control of your life
Being stress-free is not an option to living your life because you need stress to live and be creative in giving and receiving what you are here to give and receive.
Yes, you have a purpose.
Do you know yours?
Opus II - Take Your Emotions Seriously : Your emotions determine your behavior
Did you know that when you stay in the “present” you are, and feel, much calmer?
Your body and your mind are in balance and there is less tension within you, and around you.
To get to this state of mind and body you must let go of your future and past thoughts.
This is not to say that you do no planning for the future or learn from your past, it just means when you catch yourself feeling tense, focus on the moment and begin feeling the difference.
Opus III - Your Marketing and Sales Approach : A proactive approach
How many times have you heard “your business is only as good as your last sale?”
Does this statement get you thinking about your marketing and sales approach; and the value of your promotional techniques?
Do you think about…
… anticipating the needs of your customers, your clients?
… being an expert at listening to your customers, your clients?
… focusing on new business by reminding people on what a great business
you have?
… how many new big ideas you have each day?
Opus IV - Building Relationships : Values and self-awareness
At times, relationships can be difficult and trying.
Building and maintaining every business and personal
relationship takes awareness, commitment — and lots
of work.
For one thing, taking responsibility for your actions in any
relationship requires you to take ownership of how you
react to any situation in your relationship.
Never give your power to anyone else; and never ever
give up
When you are aware of and know your values, your true
nature and your true purpose, you are able to transform
your relationships and the world.
Opus V - Self-Esteem and Believing in Yourself : Always set the stage
Do you trust yourself?
Is your self-esteem and believing in yourself all that you want it to be?
Is your self-esteem and believing in yourself your number one priority?
Your self-esteem and believing in yourself takes time; time to listen to
and learn from others and yourself. This process may cause you some
stressful moments.
Opus VI - Paying Attention to Your Intuition : Creativity is a learned skill
Pay attention to your enthusiasm, your intuition is talking to
you.
You receive your intuitive information through your feelings,
and your thoughts.
Spend time thinking about what you want.
Trust yourself and your intuition by asking your intuition
questions.
Remember that developing your intuition - like creativiiy - is
a learned skill.
Opus VII - Motivation News You Can Use : Think solutions not problems
Do you motivate yourself?
Do you wait for others to motivate you?
Is what motivates you all that you want it to be?
Is your motivation your number one priority?
What motivates you?
Motivation takes time — time to listen and learn to trust yourself.
Opus VIII - Self-Direction and Your Élan Connection : Make your heart sing
Did you know that your self-direction and your élan connection come from…
…focusing on what matters to you and what you want?
…listening to the lessons life gives you?
…within?
…your expectations? (So keep your expectations high and positive.)
…life’s purpose? (You do know what that is don’t you?)
Self-direction and your elan connection drive you to keep up-to-date
with change — as a lifelong learner.
