Using the Power of Five to Enhance Your Life

Either actually — or in your mind — I would like you to scan an area of your choice: preferably a work area such as a home office or something similar.

Not, yet however!

I want you to take a mental scan of your area choice from a very specific vantage point.

Scan With This Perspective

Survey your location with this perspective in mind as you do:

”As I scan my ____ (office, work space, etc.) what ‘productive something’ could I do in five minutes?”

• Not the next five minutes.
• Any five minutes.

It could be anything.

• Calling someone,
• Putting a file folder away,
• writing yourself a reminder
• Or taking a refreshing five minute read.

It just needs to…

• Take under five minutes
• And in your mind it should be “a productive something.”

That is, the action should carry with it a sense of emotional worth; some level of emotional significance.

Ready? Go!

Now Here’s What I Like About What You Discovered

Assuming you really did what I asked, you just experienced “the power of five” in your life.

You identified that which was…

• Doable.
• By design.
• Held some level of meaning for you.
• And could be accomplished in five minutes or less.

“Nice!”

I say “nice,” because of the simplicity and power of what that simple exercise could mean for you at times.

• You choose the time.
• You choose the focus.
• And you “go for it” for only five minutes of your time during any given day.

As you are mulling this over in your mind, allow me to repeat what I mentioned seconds ago.  This is…

• Doable.
• By design.
• Can hold some level of meaning for you.
• And is accomplished in five minutes or less.

Brainstorming With An Open-Ended List

Expand your imagination about a variety of tasks or activities that could be accomplished in five minutes or less.  What I am terming “productive something” moments.

Travel down the ideas below.  Add your own.  Be creative.  And try it!

If you thought through various concepts or categories, what might come to mind? Categories such as the ones below (or others you discover during your short journey down the page).

Organization

• What could you organize?
• Could anything be put away?
• Any clutter be cleaned up?
• What about labeling a file folder and filing a piece of information?
• Dusting maybe?

And your ideas would be…?

Inspiration, Motivation Or Refreshment

• In five minutes or less, what could you bring into your world or call to your attention that might inspire you, motivate you or bring a moment’s refreshment into your busy day?
• Do any books come to mind?
• How about a song, picture or object of some sort?
• Yoga, deep breathing, stretching, pushups or five minutes of other exercise?

And your ideas would be…?

Ideas

• Could you have an “idea break”
• Fun ideas, business ideas, family ideas, etc.  Think ideas by “category” as those I just mentioned for you.

And your ideas would be…?

Blessing Others

• What could you do in five minutes or under that would encourage or bless someone?
• Send a note, give them a call, send a text?

And your ideas would be…?

Stopping And Slowing Down

• Could you meditate or reflect?
• What about writing only one thought in a journal?
• Could you stop long enough to enjoy something small?

And your ideas would be…?

Be Creative

• Could you create a quote, or thought to use for training others?
• What about reviewing a quote that meant something to you?
• And what about looking for a cool place to take your husband or wife?
• Could you find a picture of that blog post you will create later?
• In five minutes or less could a meaningful personal affirmation be created… or at least begun?
• Write down one idea for that next article.  It doesn’t have to be 50 ideas, right?  Not now.  This is just your “power of 5” time! Could you?

And your ideas would be…?

Bring Something To “Completion”

Would you consider bringing part of task to a close? Do it!  Wrap it up, shut it down, and bring that part to a close!

You Got It!

By this time — in the even that you stuck with me this far, lol — you totally get the idea!

• Doable.
• By design.
• Holding meaning for you.
• In five minutes or less!

What You See Is What You Will Give

Yes, I said, “give.”

• If you see beauty, you give beauty to others.  If flows from within you to other people.
• If you see potential, you will tend to give the gift of potential to people — including yourself.
• If you see personal worth in people, you will release from within the inner sense of being worthy to others.

Developing the art of seeing good things will enable you to be one who constantly gives good things to others.

Then at least in your little corner of the world you will have created pockets of better “space.”  Spaces of…

• Joy.
• Beauty.
• Caring.
• Sensitivity.

What you see is what you will give.

The question is, “What do you see?”

Personal Development Skills For Attraction Marketing Excellence (Part Four)

Once again, you this series could be used to assist people in a variety of settings, but these few questions may help.  Honestly, I think the series has many applications, but I am definitely biased, lol!

Having said that, if you relate at all to any of the following, then this last video — or the set — may be a fit for you:

• “I simply need ideas when it comes to some of the fundamentals relative to “making it all work” in the area of attraction marketing or being a success in internet marketing.”
• “Right now, my effort is high but I feel my productivity is lower than I would like in my personal or attraction marketing (or internet marketing) efforts.”
• “I am always looking for quality, brief resources I can use for training or influencing those I care for in my online marketing or personal pursuits.”

Taking It All In/Pulling It All Together

• Of the Four Key Fundamentals shared in a brief moment of time, which one of those do you feel is the most important and why?  (Yes, you obviously know this, but in recording your answer somewhere, you may be able to help others or further clarify your thoughts).
• A variety of ideas were summarized into two key statements in the video.  If you were to state those in your own words, how would you say it?
• Could you use the quotes anywhere?
• And you might expect that I would ask this question: what do you sense your heart saying to you at this time in your personal development journey?

Personal Development Skills For Attraction Marketing Excellence (Part Two)

Do You Identify — Or Come Close To Identifying — With Any Of These Statements?

• “I am on my own attraction marketing journey and, quite frankly, I use a bit of motivation right now.  Nothing long, just brief and motivational.”  If so, this short motivational video is for you.
• “I love the whole idea of personal development, personal growth, striving for personal success, etc.”  If so, this short motivational video is for you.

Taking It All In

• Has anything stopped you in your mental tracks this week that you should record, reflect on, or begin acting on right now?
• What ideas did you gain by listening to this short video?
• Should anything that you thought about relative to your own personal development quest make its way into your schedule this week?

Your Thoughts?

• Any reactions?
• Good, helpful feedback?

On The Value of Appreciating Others… In Business And The Business Of Life

Once again, the Inspirational “It Matters” quote below is designed to complement what you no doubt already know and provide you with a moment of inspiration to do…

What’s best,
In the best way for you,
And those you influence,
At this time in your life.

So many of us thrive in the home and in business as we are affirmed as to who we are or what we are doing.  Enjoy and share your positive thoughts below!

Taking It Home…

• In what way have you seen the power of appreciation “work at work” so-to-speak?
• Realizing the positive notations you may have thought about above, what would it take for you to consider yourself to be a personal success in the area of appreciation this next week?
• What about if you had your own “Random Acts Of Appreciation Week — In Five Minutes Or Less”, what might it look like in your world?

Tips On Using Facebook

While doing some surfing I ran across a very helpful video from Mari Smith on tips for using Facebook which you will see below.  I thought what she said was short and helpful and decided to share it here.

What I Appreciated…

My “Self Development Takeaways”

• The ever obvious: striving for excellence in what we do.
• Realizing the importance of communicating clearly and “naturally” if and whenever we can on the net (and anywhere really).
• The value of being positive and reflecting a positive attitude whenever and however we can.
• The value of striving to provide useful, hands on information.

And just in case you were wondering… yes, I am an affiliate with Mari Smith but the link above with her name is NOT my affiliate link to her site . I was viewing the video myself today, thought it was helpful, and after viewing it decided it would be a good resource for people here.  If for some reason or another you would want to check out the resource with my affiliate link, it would be here.  Otherwise, enjoy your stay!

Attraction Marketing Excellence Life Quote: Credibility

Both in business and in the business of life, few the importance of establishing and maintaining a solid sense of credibility can hardly be overstated.  If we are going to work toward the goal of being a success — and being a success on purpose — our credibility base simply must be kept solidly in place in the minds and hearts of those we seek to influence.

Allow my simple working definitions of credibility that I share with you below to be two simple, but all important, reminders to keep moving in the right “credibility direction.”

Taking It All In…

We establish and maintain our credibility because of our hearts and what they “say” to others, or practices and how people view what we do, and the words we speak (and often how we speak them).

• How are you seeking to establish credibility with those you influence?
• If someone being trained by you asked for you to share with them how to gain initial feelings of credibility in business or personal setting, what would you tell them?  (And… if you are training people: have told them?)
• If you had to name one person that gained instant credibility with you this past week — no matter how small that credibility was — what made that happen for you?  Could you learn from your observation and reproduce it somewhere in life or business?

And As Usual…

Love to hear from you!  Share reactions below if you would like.
