Whenever you embark on a project, relationship, action, etc.., first ask yourself, on a scale of 1 to 10, what is my level of commitment to the success of this project, relationship, action, etc.? If the answer is less than level 10 commitment, you simply aren’t committed enough to success to make getting started worthwhile. That doesn’t mean that your plan isn’t viable and isn’t a great idea, it simply means you aren’t ready YET to get started. What do you do? Say, for example, that you’ve assessed your current level of commitment as a 7. Ask yourself, what do you need to do/have/believe in order to raise that 7 to a 10 (or you can go from 7 to 8, from 8 to 9 and then from 9 to 10). Keep doing what you need to do to get your commitment level up to 10 even if it’s simply to sit with the idea for a while without taking any interim action. If you can’t get to 10, ask yourself why you thought you wanted this project, relationship, etc. Perhaps you only think you “should” do this to succeed but it isn’t the right thing for you or now is not the right time.

At a time when I was a young, stay-at-home mother of four children, I had a small, home-based desktop publishing business producing flyers and mailers. There were times when my young children had to accompany me to visit clients. This became a natural way to instill a work ethic in my children because they had to learn how to partner with me so that I could spend time with the client without the children being a distraction. Sitting in a lobby or office for sometimes an hour is a difficult thing for a child to do without squirming, poking on each other or getting up to play with the water fountain. But it also provided a means to train them in the discipline of self-control, manners and teamwork. They also had to learn to politely greet adults in a professional manner and learn to conduct themselves appropriately in adult situations. Full Article

Books have always been judged by their covers. In a bookstore you look at the cover first, then turn over the book to read the back cover. Or maybe you next read the inside front and back flap covers of a hardcover book. Full Article
