Here’s one of those little thoughts on success that can lead to big wins in your life because it can help you get the most out of each and every day…
Don’t let the clouds of yesterday
or the potential fog of tomorrow
cast a shadow on the positive sunshine of today.
If you look closely enough, you can almost always find some positive sunshine to capitalize on each day.
Americans love a good cup of coffee—more than half drink it on a daily basis (I’m a 3-cups-a-day coffee drinker and love it so much that it actually makes it into my speaking introduction). We also prefer to buy a cup on the go rather than make it at home (that’s not necessarily true for me).
So where do people spend the most money consuming caffeine? Just for fun: Make your best shot!
Live It Forward’s mission is to equip people to make the move to the life and work they love! I’ve had the privilege of coaching over 400 clients during the past seven years, which means I’ve shared a lot of career guidance during that time. One thing I’ve noticed while sharing all this career guidance is that frequently people allow their career goals and career objectives to crowd out important life issues. In fact, most of my career coaching clients usually come to me with the mindset of focusing on work first, life second.
Instead, the career guidance I share about making the move to the life and work you love is to determine what kind of life you want to live first, and then to become intentional and proactive about figuring out ways to make your career goals and career objectives fit that kind of life.
I know, I know…impossible. Right?
Well…not so much.
When it comes to thoughts on success, some people believe a critical success factor is the ability to multitask. I would argue, however, that multitasking is NOT a key to success and actually leads away from the road to success.
The reason?
A divided mind always leads
to diminished performance
This statement, for me, is like a light bulb as to why multitasking is NOT a key to success. In fact, nothing else really needs be added.
So…I won’t.

I’m not sure if these employees are achieving their career goals or career objectives, but maybe they found a second career in “Cubicle Hurdling.”
(Although one definitely didn’t achieve career success in this second career…watch and see what I mean.)

Kent’s coaching gets results—by the time we finished, we had a solid business plan to follow which included real benchmarks and a forecasting plan. What's more, Kent gave us the courage and the practical tools to make this happen. We are forever grateful!
