Excellent E-life 
I’m on my semi annual media fast until February 1, but I just couldn’t resist watching and listening to all of the iPad news this past Wednesday. After hearing lots of talk about this product not being exciting enough, just an iphone on steroids, or not really making a 3rd category of mobile device between smartphones and laptops, I had to throw my 2 cents out there. I have an iMac, Macbook Pro and an iPhone. Each has a very specific use in my day to day. Let me show you how that works for me, then show how I think the iPad might fit perfectly into my lifestyle, replacing some of the weaknesses of all three. Read more…

Excellent E-life 
The latest update to the iPhone Facebook application has taken my social media communicating to yet another level of virtual freedom, location flexibility, and addiction. As a rabid iPhone user and lover, I thoroughly enjoy my “computer” in my pocket. I often cannot express to the typical non-user how deeply integrative and enjoyable owning an iPhone is.
One of the perks of the iPhone is the incredible diversity of product and functionality that comes to the iPhone experience through the App Store. There are few components of my desktop world that I can’t transfer to my iPhone experience because of the App Store– many with better results. As they say, “there is an app for nearly everything!” I blog, bank, tweet multiple accounts, read, play, listen, travel, Trikke, process sales, network, and organize all with the help of iPhone applications. A few of my favorites, I’ve linked here. Read more…

Excellent E-life 
Lo and behold, you might actually have a life that complicates the pursuit of your core goals! However, in order to achieve them you must stay focused, connected, and accountable to them.

Over the past two days I have discussed tips to visualize goals. Today, we verbalize them. Seeing a picture or actualization in your mind is one powerful directive to manifesting your goals. Saying them out loud, both hearing them and saying them, creates an increasingly powerful dual effect.
In “Speak It and It Is” you will write down your goals as if they are your reality. As if they are already your day to day. You will then return to this note and verbalize this intended reality as a path to manifestation. Read more…

Excellent E-life Focusing on Your Goals
“Rainy Days and Mondays…” or so the song goes. After a particularly brutal Monday, I lay down to close it off. Exhaling I said, “Well, let’s hope tomorrow is a better day.” Then in my mind I replied to myself, “It will be. I’m setting it up right now.” This wasn’t a joke or a split personality moment. What I was doing was thinking about what I wanted to do on Tuesday, and I was committing to visualizing how it would look and feel accomplishing it.
Few of us will have a cheerleader ever present in our lives. No one can support our thoughts better than we can, because only we know what we’re thinking at any given moment. To be conscious of the emotions that play out in our minds on a daily basis is important to developing a good balance in our lives. When striving to achieve goals, it is vital that we create within our mind the visualization of the success that we are striving for. Really, what good would it do to visualize failure? Yet, we often do just this. Read more…

Over the next 4 Days I will be presenting tips and tools for gaining sharper focus on your goals.
Day 1 Vision Boards
When we were younger, a common project was to create a collage of our thoughts, ideas, and dreams represented by words and images. Our teachers would plop us down with glue, blank white board, scissors, and a box of random magazines. We would let our untainted imaginations run wild without fear and flip through the images. We pulled out those we felt connected to and pasted them to the board. What resulted was quite unique and telling about the person who created it.
As adults we rarely connect outer images with inner desires and goals. We “want,” but have no plans to achieve what we desire. In fact, visualizing goals and the road to achieve them are often so blocked by fear that we refuse to even contemplate the path. We think in a straight line instead of broadly and creatively, so when adversity strikes, we are stuck. Read more…
