Barriers to Success

Doing my school work this evening and this chapter is really hitting home. I am taking a class in business mastery.

The number one barrier to success is … Can you guess? While it list several things as self sabotage to your success, such as possing a poor self-image, blaming other for misfortunes, expecting failure, putting yourself down, repearing errors and surronding yourself with inappropriate people, the number one thing that is the barrier between you and success is PROCRASTINATION.

Wow, nailed me on that one didn’t they? I do that so much!

They also state that the a motivating factor should be the joy of actually accomplishment. And to do this you should have well defined goals. I really need to work on this one. ALOT.

So ….

Tomorrow my goal is to make my goal list for my business. To sit down and prioritize it. To break it down into chunks that need to be accomplished and set myself a time line.

Time to become successful!

What’s an Ottoman?

I live in a very kid friendly, pet friendly, male friendly kinda house. Do you really think that any of them would know what ottomans are? I mean really?

But in my dream house there will be these creatures that allude me here. I want a nice house full of wonderful furniture.

My next goal is to buy myself a nice wine rack. I have started to collect wines. I am starting to feel so grown up! I have several nice bottles on hand that I am saving for an occasion. At the moment they are sitting on my bakers rack collecting dust. I really want a nice wine rack that points out my ecclectic style, in both decorating and in wines.

I also want some nice living room furniture. Something that is less kid friendly and more femine friendly. Yes there is a difference, a big difference if you ask me. Think about it. Last night kids were on the couch eating chinese watching tv, and the puppy jumped up. Yeap you guessed it. Sesame Chicken and Garlic shrimp all over my couch. Thank goodness I have a microsuede couch and had it scotch guarded!

I want something like this. There would be no fried rice near that! Think of it. I would feel like a real grown up!

I really believe that your furniture and your interior decorating give a lasting impression of you. What does yours say about you? I know mine screams, “Beware of the Children!”

Webkins anyone?

We are visiting up north. And of course my daughters find all sorts of new and interesting things to do up here. Well a few days ago, my loving mother, bought my daughter a webkin and the other a TYgirl. Anyone know anything about these at all? Anyone have any kids that play with these?

Just wondering. I had never heard of them before. Saw in TOPS they were $30 retail and my mind reeled. Mom got them for much less. Just curious. Leave a note :)
