Freedom From “Oughts” and “Shoulds”

Hello and welcome to Happy Sunday. This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Our adventure today is , ” what keeps you from life in the moment”? With me it’s pressure- things I have to do, deadlines, duties, tasks. That’s why down time is so precious to me. Living in the moment is a lot easier when I not thinking about how I’m going to finish X,Y, Z. The tyranny of the oughts and shoulds can rob you of real joy.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/planning/

I truly think it’s possible to strip ourselves of the oughts and shoulds, It just takes deliberate effort. Sometimes I’ll say, Okay Michael, sit down and think about everything that’s hanging over your head and then prioritize it in the order in which it REALLY needs to get done.There’s something about having order in my head that makes the oughts and shoulds scream a little less loudly.

The second thing I do is to take the past and project it into the present. I remind myself,” It has worked in the past. Think about those times when you were just up against the wall and somehow you made it work. Don’t think about those times when it didn’t work. Think about those times it did work and ask, Is there any reason why that shouldn’t happen again? This is what I do over and over again, DAILY.

Business, Plan, Tree, Growth, Grow

Yes, I really do a lot of self-talk. I call it going to my truck office. I have a two way conversation with me and myself. Luckily, being in my truck sitting up high, no one notices. Question DEAR READER, Are you held captive by your own oughts and shoulds? Food for thought, READER, maybe you should have your own two way conversation with you and yourself. Just saying!!! For me, I put the results before the LORD and ask for His wisdom and guidance in clarifying what’s truly important.

Tea Cup, Vintage Tea Cup, Tea, Cup

CHERISH THE MOMENT, I think the simple joys should be the little things, a cup of tea, not a bag and hot water, but, brewed loose- leaf tea, steeped for just the right amount of time. My daughter is the QUEEN of loose leaf tea. She has sat me down many a night, and said, ” let me fix you a special blend I think you will like. I love it. She has about 30-49 loose leaf teas on hand at any given time.

A good conversation with a person you hold dear. The time goes by so smoothly, you don’t even realize it has been 5 hours of talking. You just blend into one another. Sharing Ideas and thoughts. I love Talking To Rob. His wisdom in business is always right for me, See why. He shares with me what works and what doesn’t.

Mediterranean Cuisine, Eat, Food

One of my simple joys is food. I love to cook. Looking up new recipes and trying them out. My favorite is my marinara sauce. It takes 2 full days to prepare. Everything fresh and cooked slowly. Here at the Lipsey house, we like the sauce thick. From the pot, I can place a wooden spoon and it will stand up no matter how you lean it. Then the fun comes in on deciding, will it be eggplant parmesan, spaghetti, and meatballs, vegetable lasagna, or a host of other delicacies. When it is all said and done” DON’T TRADE TODAY FOR TOMORROW”.

PRECIOUS DAYS ARE AHEAD, ENJOY THEM

Turning Defeat Into Victory

Hello Everyone. This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s Adventure is: Victory Mindset, When we learned there is no failure or mistake that cannot be remedied, the better off you will be. Defeat is part of life. No one made it to the top of any industry by not failing. It’s hard to remember but sometimes when you’re down and defeated, it’s only temporary. Everything comes and goes, nothing is permanent, especially defeat.

3 Ways to Finally Overcome Defeat and Conquer Your Goals you speak to yourself more than anyone else, are you a good influence on your own success? self talk will smith failure quote win defeat give up never warrior winner champion

So how do you overcome defeat? Silence Your Inner Critic. These voices are worrying doubts that will not help you succeed. If you don’t learn how to monitor and control the voices and negative thoughts, you’ll never succeed. Counteract the negativity by surrounding yourself with positivity. Listen to motivational speeches, read affirmations to yourself, be proud of your wins, and listen when they get loud. One of the best books I have read this year is Janet Legere’s ” Get Stuck On Happy“. Everyone should get this book.

Remember Why You Started. Each time you feel defeated, it’s on you to go deep within yourself and find the passion to keep going. You have to focus on why you started whatever it is in the first place.

Every obstacle is a reminder to go back and reignite that spark when you first began your journey. Keep your why the top of mind so you can stay focused and keep pushing forward!

Remember as Thomas Edison said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time.” Keep going, keep believing, and make 2020 the year you get everything you ever wanted. Failure can only Break you if you Let it.

DON’T GO IT ALONE

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Tuesday’s adventure is DON’T do it by yourself. Question: If you look at the animal population, why do they travel in herds, packs, pods, gaggle, and so on. It’s in their DNA. Now look at people, we have clubs we join, clubs we go out to, social media, sporting events, fairs, amusement parks….. WE WANT TO BE AROUND PEOPLE OR HAVE THEM NOTICE US.

Now, look at BUSINESS….Following simple steps, we build an audience, which becomes a group, which becomes a big FAMILY. If you are truly reading this, and you are looking to build an online business, I WANT TO HELP YOU. We all need help, in the beginning, someone to guide us, show us how to build the strongest business, that will last for generations.

Here on my blogs, Michael The Traveling Trucker, I promote 2 business models. Contact List Builder and Traffic Leads 2 Income Viral Mailer. I am being guided by 2 people who are leaders in their fields. They are teaching, 1st- build your list. For this to happen, you have to be a part of business yourself so you can promote what you are doing. Putting offers-(Lead capture pages), blogging, out there where others looking can see them and respond.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/group/

We are all here to work together, never alone. We encourage each other, correct each other when needed. A correction is a positive act when done right and with love. There are ways to do business right and wrong. When done incorrectly, you can damage yourself and others, losing out on time, money, and friendship.

Working with others is the key to building any business. Set your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goals. Next, send them to your mentor or coach. Have them walk you through each aspect to get a clear picture of where you want to go, and the tools you need to get there. As members come into your business, walk them through the process, so we all stay close and build it right. People have ideas so listen carefully to what they said, then look to see if it has merit.

Being a master of one or a jack-of-all-trades in today’s world does not bring about success if you are unable to work as part of a team. The importance of teamwork cannot be stressed enough!

I LOVE this :

Leaders that develop great teams around them have two things that they do well: They have a lot of emotional intelligence and are able to provide a clear vision for the team. I believe this with my whole heart. Janet Legere and Rob Gehring are two of the leaders I look to. They help provide and point me in the right direction to get things done on a daily basis, to build my business.

Let Me Help You, READER. Together we can and will build a DYNASTY. Yes I know we each have a separate business, but always the bigger picture-TEAM.

People, Friends, Together, Happy, Child

A teamwork environment promotes an atmosphere that fosters friendship and loyalty. These close-knit relationships motivate partners in parallel and align them to work harder, cooperate and be supportive of one another.

Proofreading

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s avdenture is PROOFREADING your work. Yes, before you post your blog, read your work, then re-read again.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/child%20reading/

What Do People Use to Read?

These are some of the sites out there, where they provide a service to check your grammar. Some cost and some are free.

The Best for me Grammarly, Writesmartly, Papertrue, Sribendi, kensaq, and you can look for even more.

Adult Education, Write, Knowledge, Power

Proofreading means carefully checking for errors in a text before it is published or shared. It is the very last stage of the writing process when you fix minor spelling and punctuation mistakes, typos, formatting issues, and inconsistencies.

Proofreading is essential for any text that will be shared with an audience, whether it’s an academic paper, a job application, an online article, or a print flyer. Depending on your skills and budget, you can choose to proofread the text yourself or to hire a professional.

Sentence structure determines how the different parts of a sentence are put together, from its punctuation to the ordering of its words. As well as following basic word order rules, there are many other things you have to consider to write correctly and clearly structured sentences.

There are two especially common sentence construction mistakes:

  1. Run-on sentences: incorrect punctuation used to join different parts of a sentence
  2. Sentence fragments: missing necessary components to form a full grammatically correct sentence

Sentence structure is not just a matter of grammar, but also of style and flow. Strong academic writing uses a variety of sentence lengths and structures. It’s important to avoid overly long sentences that can be confusing for readers, but too many very short sentences can make your text feel choppy and disjointed.

Here are things to look for in your writing: Punctuation, Capitalization, Sentence structure, Verbs, Word choice, Articles, Prepositions, Pronouns, Conjunctions.

Commonly confused words

Some words are commonly confused or misused, including this/thatwhich/thatwho/whomaffect/effect

DEVELOPMENT

Self-Development vs Shelf-Development….


Do you know the difference?

Shelf-development occurs when you buy all the latest books, videos, trainings that have lots of good learning in them….and you leave them unopened.  They sound great. The look great. And…they probably are great, but….you don’t get into them.

Self-development means that you have gone through those great resources and have found “nuggets” you can use to begin to build an online business.

If you are just starting to look for ways to earn income from home online, I applaud you EVEN MORE!

New Year'S Eve, Fireworks, Beacon

You need to gather information about different ways to earn and select the one that fits best for you. When you are learning to earn online, don’t wait to be “perfect” before you start.  That won’t work in your favor. Learn as you go. Take the graduated steps to find the procedures that work the best for you and your audience and use those. Then add on. You don’t need tech-savvy, computer wizardry, or business training.  You are in a “family” of affiliates doing just as you are and we help each other. 

Where do you want to be a month from now…?????? Still, struggling with your JOB and boss? Wondering if you have a full job to go back to? Wondering if your financial situation will ever improve? What about your vacation/travel plans?

THE WELCOME CENTER

Hello Everyone, Thanks for dropping by. Come on in, have a seat, and let’s chat. This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure: How to WELCOME your people and make them feel a part of the team. As you can see from the picture below, each state has a welcome sign, plus something they are known for. When people meet you, do they know what you are known for?

You must welcome your website visitors and new leads, make them feel valued, and build trust in you. It’s also your job to prompt them to keep engaging with you more and more.

Mention: https://www.tidio.com/blog/welcome-message/

What is a Welcome Message?

A welcome message is a short communication you send to a new user, email list subscriber, or website visitor that aims to greet, onboard, and connect them with you. Welcome emails achieve the highest open rate and engagement.

Hyacinth, Flower, Violet, Purple Flower

WHAT IS A WELCOME EMAIL

A welcome email is one of the first impressions your brand makes. A friendly hello to connect with new customers and encourage them to interact with your product or service, and if done well, will lead to increased customer retention. Your welcome email should be informative, clear, and actionable. When you send a welcome email to a new blog or newsletter subscriber, or to a new customer, you’re making a first impression on behalf of your brand.

Dock, Feet, Footwear, Jetty, Mat, Shoes

Sometimes the tiniest of elements in a welcome email can speak volumes about a brand. A welcome email is the perfect medium for introducing folks to the characteristics (and eccentricities) that make your brand unique.

Let’s face it: We, the internet-using public, are constantly bombarded with prompts to sign up for and subscribe to all sorts of email communications. So as a brand, when someone takes the time to sift through all the chaos in order to intentionally sign up for your email communications, it’s a big deal. The closer you can get to making your email sound like a one-on-one conversation between you and your subscriber, the better. 

After your brief introduction, you will want to find out more about your guest. In general, people enjoy speaking about themselves, so allow your guest to do so. Ask them their name, what they do, how they heard about your organization, and any other questions you might find pertinent.

Welcome, Words, Greeting, Language

Remember that you will be talking to people from all over the world. Try to find out as much as possible about who they are, what they like and don’t like. What they are looking for in a business. People love to talk, let’s learn the art of engagement.

CHARGE THE ATMOSPHERE

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is Speaking words affirmation to yourself and others around you.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/affirmation/

Think, Positive, Optimism, Plus, Yes

Stand on the word: Today I am becoming the best person I can be. Today I rise up to any challenge that arises. I’m an overcomer. I love myself and others. Read it again and again. Meditate on it, memorize it, quote it, declare it, and decree it.

I Am Anointed to win, Empowered to prosper, Impossible to curse. I don’t allow negative thoughts to control my life. Today I CHOOSE to focus on the POSITIVE.

Certain words of affirmation can be used to make us feel good and take action.  When writing affirmations, the important thing to remember is to keep these words in mind because…

Man, Shadow, Meditation, Wisdom, Growth

Practicing daily affirmations is all about the feeling, rather than just the words of affirmation…

And about prompting us to make change, rather than just academically reciting daily positive affirmations.

Certain words also carry with them certain vibrations that will make your affirmations positive on an energetic level, rather than just an intellectual level.

Your thoughts also carry a vibration, whether these thoughts are on a conscious level or the UN-conscious level.

Words of affirmation: Amazing, beautiful, content, powerful, heart, special, wonderful, encouraging, pretty. Now begin to make YOUR OWN LIST.

My thoughts of YOU today are: You are LOVED. You are AMAZING. You are BEAUTIFUL. You are a WINNER. You have the heart of a CHAMPION. You are going to do GREAT THINGS, IN LIFE AND BUSINESS. You have what it TAKES.

Scientifically Proven

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Our adventure is the MIND. Yes, Boys and Girls, there is a difference in how men and women THINK. You say, “REALLY”. Oh, yea baby, A BIG DIFFERENCE. Men and women, while different, are complementary like a knife and a fork.

PERCEPTION: Women have smaller brains that are more tightly packed with connections. This allows them to perform better at tasks involving the bigger picture and situational thinking. A man’s brain tends to perform better at spatial thinking involving recognizing patterns and problem solving with objects in a spatial environment.

ONE TRACK MIND: Men tend to excel better at singular tasks while women are better at juggling a number of tasks at once.

WOMEN REMEMBER BETTER

Women tend to have higher activity in their hippocampus, the region responsible for forming and storing memories than men do. Studies have shown that women tend to remember faces, names, objects, and events better than men.

Women and men process information differently. Men use mostly the left hemisphere of the brain, while women tend to employ both hemispheres.

More specifically, women tend to develop verbal capabilities on both sides of their brains. It’s this “design” which leads to a scientific observation in which girls will commonly use more words than their male counterparts if they are asked to describe a story, person, object, feeling, or place.

RISK TAKING

Men tend to be more likely to take risks. Women tend to be more risk averse. Men and women literally see things in different ways. Men have thicker retinas and larger M cells than women. The M cells are responsible for tracking the movement of objects. Women have more P cells, which are responsible for identifying objects, as well as analyzing textures and colors.

Honey, Have You Seen My Keys?

Women are better at remembering where things are than men are. Women are also more likely to navigate using landmarks, while men navigate using direction and distances. So a woman is more likely to say, “Go straight until you hit the MacDonalds, then turn right and continue until you reach the top of the hill.” A man is more likely to say, “Drive north for three miles, then turn east on Liberty Street. Continue on Liberty for two miles.”

In business, we see the differences in how men and women operate. We should learn from our counterparts. We may not be just like them, but we can make adjustments to suit our needs.
