A Peek Inside My Mind
values, integrity, beliefs

 VISIT WEBSITE (learn more)

This is going to be a 3-blog day or at least I’ll have 3 written even if I don’t get a chance to post them all. Pretty cool?

So for everyone who’s ever been stuck for a topic, wondered how other people wrote their blogs, or just like sneaking a quick look into a slightly chaotic psyche, I’m offering you a peek inside my mind and a look at how 1 blog became 2 when I realized the topic changed in the middle. If you like mind mapping, this might be a good time to pull out the colored pencils. . .

Every so often, a topic comes along that is so important that it keeps showing up until do something about it. It’s like God is giving you a cosmic whack upside the head and saying pay attention. Whether I’m the beneficiary or just the messenger, I’m never quite sure. I do know that when I take action, I like the results and hopefully other people profit as well. For all you Law of Attraction fans, this could also be described as inspired intuition.

Last night at Randy Ritter’s (owner of Top Flight Traffic) Avenues to Success the topic centered on integrity in what and how you market. As the evening ended, I thought to myself what a great topic this would make for my next blog. Then I moved onto other things and let it slip my mind. Obviously, that was the wrong action to take. This morning, I woke up thinking about the list of questions that was suggested as a litmus test for whether or not your product or service is something that you believe in and whether you are marketing it in a way that fits with your values.

(If you’re interested in success theory, motivation, goal setting, and networking with likeminded individuals, I highly recommend joining us at every Tuesday 6 PM:  www.trafficexchangelive.com/ )

I thought about it in the back of my mind but still went about my other business and really didn’t plan on giving it much conscious attention.

Today, I stopped by IBO to interact with other members and post my blog about "Second Chances and Do-Over's,” when I realized I was getting a second chance at sharing my opinion on the topic of integrity in what you do. You see, I started reading the ideas that the other IBOers has posted. They all seemed to revolve around whether or not you had chosen the right business and whether or not you believed in your product.

Then I came across a quote one of my IBO associates, Allison Hayhurst, ( www.ibotoolbox.com/members/default.aspx?memberid=8409 ) had posted from Ralph S. Marston, Jr. “What you do today can change the course of your life far into the future. Today is critical. Today really counts. ” Finally, I stumbled on another blog whose message was “Take Action!”

Now I may get stubborn sometimes, and try to ignore things. Look at all the people that had already written on the topic. However, stubborn or not, I don’t really need to have a piano dropped on my head to get me to pay attention. So there you have it. One important topic, multiple cosmic hints, and not 1 but 2 admonitions that today is the day to take action. Now that you know how I wrote it, please read and review my blog post on aligning your business opportunity with your values.
