Simply Successful Secrets

I was tagged by Hueina Su at Intensive Care for the Nurturer's Soul to participate in an experiment started by Aaron Potts called Simply Successful Secrets (get details here).

Aaron's rule is to write about the top 5 to 10 things we do almost everyday to be successful. These can be things we do every day or at least 4 to 5 times per week. I need to link back to Aaron's original post and also link back to the person who tagged me. In this way, we can share our secrets of success with our readers as well as with the readers of all the other bloggers who participated. In addition, we are supposed to *tag* as many bloggers as we like to participate in this experiment.

Here are  my Simply Successful Secrets (in no particular order):

1. Go beyond my comfort zone...I do this regularly. Right now, I'm involved in launching a very big project, a wellness teleseminar series called EveryDay Qi and I've had to really step out there in a big way to go after the people I wanted as speakers...but you know what? It paid off!

2. Begin and end my day with a sense of appreciation and gratitude for all that I have in my life. This is basic.

3. Notice and appreciate the natural world. There is abundant evidence that being in Nature is good for you...physically, mentally and spiritually. Just five minutes of sunshine in the morning can set up a good mood for you for the rest of the day. Think how that could impact your work!

4. Begin my day using Mark Joyner's awesome system to productivity, Simpleology Mark's system has made a huge difference in my productivity. And best of all, it's free to sign up!

OK, that's it for now...I'd like to tag:

Maryam Webster
Suzanne Falter-Barns
Andy Wibbels
The Blogsquad  (Denise Wakeman and Patsi Krakoff)
Kim George
Seth Godin

Ok...gotta go!

Dear Ellen, This was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, very, very informative. In addition to giving you a ton of very useful and valuable information that's simple and easy to implement, this is a great resource to come back to again and again. I also like how it teaches you to clarify your thinking and to be precise and focused like a laser. Thank you so very much for this amazing resource that I will definitely use and pass along. May all the blessings that you have given return to you 1000 fold henceforth and forever.:.)

Ellen,

I really appreciate you taking the time to share a few of your success secrets as part of this project.

I have to give a tip of the hat to Mark Joyner's Simpleology program, because you are far from the first person who has mentioned that.

Also, many people have talked about getting out in nature, and I whole-heartedly agree with that as well.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, Ellen!

I really like that you begin and end your day with a sense of appreciation and gratitude.
