Top 3 Tips on How Successful Entrepreneurs Manage Their Time

Remez Sasson — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:09:01 +0000

By Bob Garner

Setting out to succeed with your own business requires managing your time well. If not done properly, not only will you waste time and not efficiently achieve your goals, but you may also find yourself losing clients, money, and/or possibly even the business, itself.

Here are three simple steps you could take in order to manage your time more effectively.

Step One: Develop a Plan of Action

You need to know what you want to accomplish and the time frame in which you want it accomplished. Developing an overall plan of action will aid you in achieving your goal. So, begin by writing down your primary goal and then writing down what steps you need to take in order to realize that goal. It sounds so simple, but most people don’t do this and become distracted and waste an inordinate amount of time. So, do not make the mistake of disregarding this important point.

February 6, Positive Affirmation for Love

Jeanie — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0000

"I move my attention away from thoughts that suggest this is
an unfriendly or fearful world.

I willingly shed the heaviness, like a heavy coat on a hot day."

Greetings! Our theme is Love at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-love. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
You can certainly identify examples of unfriendliness and fear in the world. The extent to which you allow these examples to shape your beliefs and thoughts determines how you perceive the world. When you let one experience become the proof of how the world is, you continue to create experiences or lead yourself to experiences that give you further evidence or proof of the beliefs and thoughts. When you identify that you are holding beliefs and thoughts you do not desire, let them be as easy to release as shedding a heavy coat on a hot day.

About Your Process
One of my delights in preparing the daily comments about these affirmations is knowing that so many of you are participating in the process. It strengthens the process for each one because others are reading through and working with the same thoughts. Of course, you have your own drama and uniqueness, yet are connected by an invisible web — and the World Wide Web. As you shed your own brand of heaviness or darkness today, know that others support you. Know that others have their own processes of purification and upliftment. As you walk your path of creating a friendly and loving world, you connect with others of like mind. Shed the resistance.

February 5, Positive Affirmation for Love

Jeanie — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:00:55 +0000

"I cut negative bonds of attachment to hatred and retaliation and jealousy.
The distorted, dense energy of these bonds is transmuted into energy to love."

About Today’s Affirmation
We are all One, yet you are unique in your experiences and your ways of perceiving. You may be able to see or imagine that you see a visual representation of this affirmation. For example, you might see the face of someone as you affirm the cutting of negative bonds, or you might envision how the bonds are shaped. Or perhaps hearing sounds is helpful: the clipping of the scissors or the hack saw cutting the bonds or a sweet song from the angelic realm as the bonds are transmuted. Or perhaps other sensations help to make this affirmation more real for you, for example, you might be aware of tingling where the attachment has been severed or feel lightness as the bonds are transmuted.

About Your Process
Today’s affirmation includes heavy words. If you have any resistance to these words, either (1) change the words or (2) honor the feelings and release the resistance. If you want to change the words, you might work with a less inflammatory word or phrase, such as "non-love." Keep in mind, though, that hatred and retaliation and jealousy are emotional ties you might feel even though they are not usually socially acceptable. Have you not heard, or even said, "No, you don’t really mean that you hate your brother / sister / anyone." But if you feel hatred in that moment, you either become confused or learn to withhold your feelings. Cut the non-love, by whatever name you recognize it. Let go. Release. Forgive.

About Related Articles

We make available free to the Internet community many empowering articles, including the Marshall House Articles Section, the Empowering Personal Development Articles , the Voice of Jeanie Marshall Articles, and Jeanie’s articles at EzineArticles.com. Here are suggested articles that relate to today’s principles:

“Ending Poverty Consciousness” distinguishes between poverty and poverty consciousness; gives you practical suggestions for ending these limitations.
“Freedom from Bondage” discusses releasing bonds of limitation, including a brief case study of energetic release.
“Pluck it for the Bucket” describes a process for releasing toxins from the energy field, such as, old emotional baggage, false beliefs, dysfunctional patterns.

Make this a clear day!

February 4, Positive Affirmation for Love

Jeanie — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:00:02 +0000

"I release memories that allowed belief in fear and lack.
I create new memories of abundance and pleasure."

About Today’s Affirmation
Your beliefs create and/or lead you to create experiences that provide the memories that further substantiate those beliefs. I have no doubt whatsoever that you and all others are on this earth to love, to experience joy, to live in abundance, to sing and dance. I further believe that when you are not experiencing such a life, you are trapped in disempowering beliefs or giving your attention to fear and lack (and variations on these themes). So here is the challenge presented in today’s affirmation: release those thoughts and memories. Release the thoughts that oppose love by releasing resistance. Today. Period. Fini. Finished. Done. Gone. Complete. It is so. Amen. Now begin the new memories of positive ideas.

About Your Process
If you experience heavy or painful memories, I suggest that you "breathe through" them. With your out-breath you can more easily release; with your in-breath you can more easily draw in vibrant energy. During this week, allow the affirmations to support your release so that next week you can be more ready to receive. You will experience greater joy in your life when you empty out the beliefs / memories / thoughts that the world does things "to" you. This is the consciousness of a victim. You create your own experiences. Your experiences occur because of your beliefs. This concept is incredibly powerful to understand and embrace. "You create your own reality" is far more than just a popular expression. It is life — for you as well as for every other person, yielding magnificent diversity on the planet.

“Say Goodbye to Struggle” encourages us to end the practice of glorifying struggles of life.
“Freedom from Bondage” discusses releasing bonds of limitation, including a brief case study of energetic release.
“Pluck it for the Bucket” describes a process for releasing toxins from the energy field, such as, old emotional baggage, false beliefs, dysfunctional patterns.
"Your Focus of Attention is Your Key to Happiness" helps you to clarify where you desire to put your attention — your energy — which is a creative force.

Make this a wonderful day!

February 3, Positive Affirmation for Love

Jeanie — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:00:09 +0000

"I let go of conditions that have kept me from loving.
I erase any images that say that love hurts and
I replace the images with joy and playfulness."

About Today’s Affirmation
When you are not in a loving space, it is usually because you have allowed conditions or circumstances or images or beliefs to keep you from loving. You may know or not know what these conditions are. Using a general word like "conditions" can assist you in avoiding getting stuck in details, as the details can keep you further associated with not loving. A common childhood memory for many is being punished or hurt in some way and told by the same person "Remember, I love you" or "This is because I love you." This is a very confusing message for a child, usually carried into adulthood and passed on with similar behavior to another set of children. Love is love and it cannot hurt; hurt is the result of fear, which is non-love.

About Your Process
On February 1 and February 2, I presented you with two very powerful affirmations that I have given to many clients and workshop participants in one form or another over several years. Sometimes I assign these to be written (as described in "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment") over several days with encouragement that people adjust the wording as appropriate. The DailyAffirm Process, though, moves to a new affirmation each day. You may find that you want to continue writing those statements that resonate most deeply for you, while at the same time you move day by day with the new affirmations. Writing is a rite, right?

“Ending Poverty Consciousness” distinguishes between poverty and poverty consciousness; gives you practical suggestions for ending these limitations.
"Decisions for Empowering Your Life" focuses on the variety of decisions you make in your life. Every decision is a choice which shapes your journey.
"Feel Better One Thought at a Time" is a short poem about a simple approach for experiencing greater happiness as a result of intentional positive thought choices.
“Writing Affirmations for Empowerment” offers a specific writing process to enhance the effectiveness of certain affirmations.

Make this a perfect day!

February 2, Positive Affirmation for Love

Jeanie — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:00:23 +0000

"I rescind obsolete vows of limitation.
Angels of Love lift limitation from my shoulders."

About Today’s Affirmation
It might seem strange to think that vows made by earlier generations can keep you in limitation today. I recall the very first time the idea of rescinding outdated vows came through me for a client. When I said, "I can see in your energy field outdated vows of poverty and chastity," tears came to her eyes. I dissolved the vows energetically, gave her some exercises to further assist her process, and she started to manifest what she desired in her life. Most of humanity has come to believe in limitation and separation as the truth. Today, invite the angels to lift these heavy illusions from you. Believe in love. Believe in life.

About Your Process
Each affirmation I present to you has energetic components, that is, parallel representation in the energy field. A vow of limitation may present itself in the energy field as a heavy weight on the shoulders or as a choking at the throat or as another sensation. You might consider if there are any vows you have made that keep you from loving fully. "Vows" need not be made only in religious or marital ceremonies. You might have made spontaneous vows. For example, "I’ll never speak to you again" is a vow of silence which can be very powerful when made with great intensity. Note that "never" is a very long time. Also, statements that begin with "I will always" have the impact of vows, especially when said or thought repeatedly.

“Say Goodbye to Struggle” encourages us to end the practice of glorifying struggles of life.
“Freedom from Bondage” discusses releasing bonds of limitation, including a brief case study of energetic release.
“Ending Poverty Consciousness” distinguishes between poverty and poverty consciousness; gives you practical suggestions for ending these limitations.
“Rescinding Obsolete Thoughts and Limiting Beliefs” explains how to erase or rescind outdated vows so that current promises and desires can flourish.

Make this a light day!

February 1, Positive Affirmation for Love

Jeanie — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:00:30 +0000

"I give myself permission to release fear from every level of my being.
This fear, which I have no need to understand, releases effortlessly."

About Today’s Affirmation
The first sentence of today’s affirmation is one variation of the "basic releasing" affirmation to assist you in letting go, forgiving, cleansing, and releasing resistance. The second sentence has a dual purpose: (1) to ease the process because releasing affirmations can generate extremely deep releases, so it is important to include the idea of effortlessness and (2) to counteract the tendency you may have to slow down your growth process by trying to figure everything out. It is helpful to affirm that it is acceptable to not understand, because this releasing is not simply a mental process. Let go; most of all, let go of resistance.

About Your Process
Giving yourself permission to do something can be a crucial step in your journey. In today’s affirmation, feel free to change the word "fear" to any word or idea that, for you, is a barrier to living in love. Here are a few examples: "non-love" or "anything that gets in the way of my loving" or a specific memory or habit or a relationship or a pattern of behavior. You might find that you benefit more from being general than specific. And then, release. Trust the Universe to handle the details.

About Related Articles
I have published articles for personal development in different locations, including the Marshall House Articles Section, the Voice of Jeanie Marshall Articles, and my articles at EzineArticles.com. I recommend that you write one or more of this week’s affirmation. I have developed a process which is described in the book, "Affirmations: A Pathway To Transformation" and in an article entitled, “Writing Affirmations for Empowerment.” You may also enjoy reading other articles, especially:

“Freedom from Bondage” discusses releasing bonds of limitation, including a brief case study of energetic release.
“Ending Poverty Consciousness” distinguishes between poverty and poverty consciousness; gives you practical suggestions for ending these limitations.

Make this an effortless day!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of February 1-7, Love

Jeanie — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:00:01 +0000

Greetings in the 1st week of February with the theme of Love, the most precious and powerful energy in the Universe. In this message, I will give you an overview of the next seven days of the DailyAffirm Process. The sidebars provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day or, simply check in when the spirit moves you. If you prefer to receive the daily messages by email, please subscribe to one of our email alert lists (see navigation bar).

About Your Over-arching Intention
If you have not already done so, please identify your over-arching intention for love. That is, develop a statement that guides you in the exploration and embodiment of love. Your statement may include a definition of love. "Love" is a word used often in our culture to express affection "Love ya" or taste "I love pizza" or sex "Let’s make love" or scoring in tennis "love." Intention is the energy or consciousness from which actions emerge.

If you are uncertain how to write this intention, just make an attempt. Keep it simple. You have 28 days to work with the intention and the theme, so let your statement change and deepen. Here are a few suggestions for statements of intention about the theme of love:

To love myself unconditionally.
To radiate love in all that I do.
To remember that I am love.
To realize that love is everywhere.

About Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations and Love

This week, the idea is to empty out anything that gets in the way of love. You release, let go, and forgive. Cleanse your thoughts of fear, anger, jealousy, hatred, retaliation, and unfriendliness. Allow yourself to be purified, asking that the release be effortless. Dump anything that gets in the way of living in unconditional love, recognizing that from time to time you will touch negative feelings to tell you that you need to reconnect with unconditional love. Let go of the past to live fully in the present. Release resistance.

About Your Process in the First Week
I recommend that you write this week’s affirmations, if such a process appeals to you. I’ve developed a process which is described in the book, "Affirmations: A Pathway to Transformation" and in the article entitled, "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment." This article is posted at one of my Web site along with 40 others, http://www.mhmail.com and then click on Articles by Jeanie.

About the Affirmations in the First Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent releasing and cleansing for Love it would be the affirmation for February 6: "I move my attention away from thoughts that suggest this is an unfriendly or fearful world. I willingly shed the heaviness, like a heavy coat on a hot day." I love the image of this because it is so obvious what to do with a heavy coat on a hot day: drop it!

Make this a wondrous week!

What is Concentration?

Remez Sasson — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:13:09 +0000

By Remez Sasson

What is concentration? What do you know about it?

Concentration is the ability to direct one’s attention in accordance with one’s will. It means control of the attention. It is the ability to focus the mind on one subject, object or thought, and at the same time exclude from the mind every other unrelated thoughts, ideas, feelings and sensations.

It also means the ability to do one thing at a time, instead of jumping from one subject to another and losing attention, time, and energy.

Concentration is a state, in which one’s whole attention is engrossed in one thing only, and being oblivious to everything else. During concentration, the mind focuses on the object of concentration, and only one thought occupies the mind. The whole energy of the mind becomes concentrated on this one thought.

The ability to command the mind and control the attention is not common, and requires training. Most people lack the ability to control their attention and focus the mind exclusively on one subject for any length of time. They can’t command their mind to concentrate, whenever they want to. However, concentration is not uncommon activity. It happens almost everyday, to almost everyone, but it is more of a spontaneous and uncontrolled ability.

January 31, Positive Affirmation for Hope

Jeanie — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 05:00:30 +0000

"Today is an opportunity for hope."

Greetings! Our theme is Hope at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying hope. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
One of the primary principles of the book on which these affirmations are based is "today is an opportunity." In fact, every situation is an opportunity. Every minute is an opportunity. Every second is an opportunity. "An opportunity for what?" you might ask. "Anything you desire!" So, you come to the end of the affirmations about hope, which set the foundation for a powerful year. Resonate with hope.

About Your Process
So, what do you desire? What is your most hopeful thought about hope? I suggest that you re-visit your over-arching intention for hope that you developed at the beginning of the month. In addition, if you have made any notes about the various affirmations or about your process, review those. Reflection is part of the process of integrating and embodying the theme of hope.

About Our Next Theme
When you feel ready, please establish an over-arching intention for February’s theme: Love. Remember, it is up to you do determine your intention, the meaning of the theme, and the application of the ideas into your life. As the month unfolds, I will share some of my insights, but they will not be nearly as important as what you tell yourself about love. During the first week, we work with Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations.

Make this a fulfilling day!
