How to stay focused and be productive ?

Eliminating distractions like your phone, TV, Friends and family while on tasks. Sometimes those around us can be our biggest distractions, so be kind and tell them to” go away “until you are done. Remember to say ” I love You”.

Setting timers for each task. Here are some really simple things for you to consider: moving to a quiet area, closing out of programs or apps that aren’t essential on your computer, declutter the space where you will be working, soft music in the background can have a calming effects.

I had not heard of the Pomodoro Technique. Sounds simple so I will try it out. How to make it work for you: Set your timer for 25 minutes and get to work. When the buzzer sounds, take a 5-minute break. Set the timer again and get back to work. Once you’ve done four rounds of this, you can take a longer break, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Best quote ever for the BRAIN: Focus is a lot like a mental muscle. The more you work on building it up, the stronger it gets. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. It will take some real effort on your part and you may have to make some changes to some of your daily habits.

While multitasking may seem like a great way to get a lot done quickly, it turns out that people are actually rather bad at it. Juggling multiple tasks at once can dramatically cut down on productivity and makes it much harder to hone in on the details that are truly important.

To me, this says it all : Part of knowing how to focus is making the most of the resources you have available. Stop multitasking and instead give your full attention to one thing at a time. I have been told to do one thing until I master it.Then you have the otion to add other things into your daily habits.

Be present in the moment. Stop worrying about the past, the future, or tuned out of the present moment for some other reason. This notion of being present is also essential for recapturing your mental focus. Staying engaged in the here and now keeps your attention sharp and your mental resources honed in on the details that really matter at a specific point in time.

Ok time to set your rules. Get your paper and pen, write things down and keep them where you can see them. REMEMBER: One thing at a time, when fininshed, go to the next one.

Our leaders have spent years honing their skills, just ask them: Rob Gehring, Janet Legere, Jared Myers.

By building your mental focus, you will find that you are able to accomplish more and concentrate on the things in life that truly bring you success, joy, and satisfaction.

What Do ebooks Really Do ?

Greetings everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker is gearing up for a great teaching session. Are you ready?

The purpose of any eBook is to educate. eBooks offer information and are designed for educational purposes only. So DON’T skip getting profession advice on the subject you are wanting to explore.

Life is full of unforeseen changes, challenges, and chaotic times. Studies have shown that mindfulness is a key technique for improving your body, mind, and spirit no matter the situation, even times of chaos.

Mindfulness is the ability to be completely in the present, as opposed to thinking about the past, future, or any other event that takes us away from the present time. Being mindful includes being aware of where we are, what we are doing, and how we feel.

What Is an eBook?

eBook is short for electronic book. In its purest form, an ebook merely refers to any book that’s available in a digital format. eBooks are non-editable, and most importantly, are reflowable.

An ebook can contain the same elements as a regular book, including contents, chapters, images, graphs, references, bibliographies, and more. Because an ebook is digital, it can offer some features not available in paper books, such as hyperlinks, adjustable fonts and text sizes, and even video.

An ebook, essentially an electronic book, works on various devices such as computer screens, tablets, smartphones, or e-readers.

To fully grasp what ebooks are and what do ebooks look like, you should know there are differences among popular formats like EPUB, Word documents, and PDF files.

The short and sweet of it is that an eBook is a physical book put into digital form in one of the two formats, either flowable or fixed. Each type is words put to a page—whether digital or physical—from an author meant for readers to devour. The key niche for eBooks is the ability of the author to skip past the agent and publisher stage and release their eBook whenever they want.

I have read many great eBooks and gleamed information to make my business grow. My mentor, Janet Legere, has the quick step guide for growing your CLB Business. Click Here.

Have you thought about writing an eBook yourself? There are many eBooks out there that you can get that will explain how to write your eBook and what format to put it on.

Remember, eBooks are our friends. Use them wisely and enjoy your reading.

Reading Is The Magic Key To Take You Where You Want To Be

It Begins With You

Greetings and Salutations from Michael The Traveling Trucker. Let me remind you that in your world EVERYTHING begins and ends with you. I know this puts a lot of pressure on some, It’s OK. You were built to succeed.

I hear you ask where do I start. My response is have you written your dreams down on paper? Have you decided what type of online business you want to pursue? Do you have money set aside to fund your business-monthly? Have you done your due diligence in researching companys you might want to work with?

How much time can you afford toward your business? Will you make a commitment for at least 1 year? A good business idea may seem hard to come by, but with some planning and preparation, you can easily launch a small business to supplement your income — or become your own full-time boss.

Your business should be cheap to start. Maybe you only need to purchase a website domain. The best small business ideas are based online and can be carried out from your personal computer.

Nothing draws clients to you faster than the power of social proof — the phenomenon by which others look for external clues to your credibility. If you build a reputation as an expert in your field. This can be by writing articles, creating videos. doing workshops. You’re far more likely to make people excited to collaborate if you’re perceived as interesting.

Winning business is hard, but it gets a lot easier if clients are seeking you out. By building a public reputation, power mapping your way to coveted clients, mitigating perceived risk and making yourself interesting to be around, you’re taking a major step toward attracting the business you want.

Don’t Forget About Branding Your Business. The definition of a brand is a name or a term, a design or a symbol, or some other feature that distinguishes an organization or a product from its competitors. The keys to branding your business begin and end with who you serve!

The right story for your business is never just about the product — the widget. It’s about the deeper story beneath the product, the company, and the team. Within each of us is an obstacle to overcome, and that is the raw material of your story. Once you connect to that story, you’ve set the stage for your team, your business, your revenues to go through the roof.

Great Leadership comes down to one thing… great casting! Don’t cast yourself in the wrong role! Don’t cast them in the wrong role!

Sharing The Responsibilty

Greetings from Michael The Traveling Trucker. How do you share the resposibility for successful communication?

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

The process of communication isn’t complete without both speaker and a audience. Speakers can send messages, but if the listeners don’t do their part by listening and providing feedback, the process is incomplete.

The last webinar you listened to was who and what was the topic? Effective listening benefits both speakers and audience members. By listening before the speech, the speaker can pick up the audiences needs. Great speakers have this trait before each webinar by opening up the room early.

There are four types of listening. content, critical, empathic, and appreciative listening. Content listening helps you understand the speakers message. Critical listening helps you both undertsand and evaluate the meaning of the message. Empathic listening helps you understand the speakers feelings and viewpoint. Appreciative listening helps you enjoy the speakers message and delivery.

The five factors of listening are: attending, interpreting, remembering, evaluating, and responding. We all must have these skills if we are to move forward in our businesses. This should help you in all areas of your life.

In our business world we have two people who do an outstanding job on presenting webinars. Rob Gehring and Janet Legere. These leaders fill our hearts and minds with practical teaching which should be put into your businesses immediately.

We all have a part in the big picture so learn these skills and perfect them over time. Do you believe you could do a webinar? If your answer is yes, have you done one. If no is your answer, why not? Pick a topic, research it, then show your findings. Easy peasy.

I have not done one yet. I have a vast video collection on Youtube, which goes with my blogs.

People Are Your Priority

Hello and welcome. Michael The Traveling Trucker say’s enjoy making friends. Yes it can be difficult to make friends but well worth the conversation.

Building your list is your number one GOAL. It’s not just getting people on your list though. It’s building a relationship that will benefit your people. Letting them know you can be trusted and helping them all along the way until they feel they can do it on their own.

Having a good product and service is also important. Will it benefit your people? What value is it to them? Having several products for them to choose is smart. Be aware people are skeptical. Don’t try to sell them. Lead and guide them through the system. Let the system you have in place convince them.

Instead of giving advice, we can guide people to find their own answers through a combination of listening and asking questions. Asking “What is the real challenge here for you?” followed by “And what else?” helps people focus on the most important problem they are trying to solve.

So what is a good way to guide people to where they’ll stick? Guide people based on a starting point. Guide people based on life stage. Find out as much about themselves as they will offer in your conversation.

Listening is key to understanding your people. You have two ears and one mouth. So listen twice as much as you talk. Help someone to think about a problem more clearly leaving room for that person to arrive at their own insights and make their own decisions—so that they have more “ownership” of potential solutions.

Your role is to get people to think for themselves by guiding them with information they don’t have. The great temptation of leadership is giving answers instead of guidance. Guidance shows respect, builds confidence, and enables action. People come to you looking for specific answers. Give them guidance instead.

Guidance enables thinking. “Now that you have some broad principles to consider, what’s your next step?”

Guidance clarifies responsibility. “What’s keeping you from making this decision?”

Leaders touch lives and hold destinies in their hands; it is a sacred calling with sacred responsibility. Remember who you are, your role, and who those that come to you are.

Guide them and get them to think for themselves.

What does it mean to be in a community? A group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society, a body of persons of common and especially professional interests.

Simply put, a community is a group of like-minded individuals who share an identity-forming narrative. In other words, it’s a friendship between different people — or a social unit — with a commonality such as norms, place, religion, values, customs, or identity.

To be clear, community is not a place, building, or organization — it’s both a feeling and a set of relationships among people. Members of a community often have a sense of trust, safety, belonging, and caring for each other.

With that said I would be honored to have you in our community. Ask any question or share any idea you may have. I look forward to our 1st conversation. Have a blessed day ,week , month, year.

Thoughts to Actions

How to turn your thoughts to actions sounds simple, but the truth is most people NEVER EVER put their thoughts into action unless it is self-centered on only their needs. I know this may be harsh but from my personal experience I was that self-centered person.

Welcome all, Michael The Traveling Trucker shares tips to become a people person.

“Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.” ~ Laozi

“Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We have over 6,000 thoughts a day, many of which are ignored, partly because we consider them “invalid.”

Thoughts become more consequential for judgment and action as their perceived validity emerging from a wide range of variables, including incidental factors, is increased.

There are two types of validation (affective and cognitive) .Cognitive validation takes place when people are certain that their beliefs are correct. Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/positive%20thinking/

How to Manage Your Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors

New research helps explain how we can manage our brains and achieve our goals.

The only things we can control in life are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. If we can manage those, we can achieve our goals and gain total success.

When I quit drinking I had to have a mindset each day not to drink. I did this each day for over 2 years to achieve the goal of not drinking. I had to apply this to quitting smoking. This mindset was for 30 days and on the 31st day this habit was broken . I still had to walk out each day with the mindset SMOKE FREE.

If we know how our minds work, we can be intentional about influencing our thinking and feeling patterns. We can evaluate reality more clearly, make better decisions and improve our ability to achieve our goals.

How do our minds work? The terms “autopilot system” and “intentional system” come to mind. Let me explain. The autopilot system corresponds to our emotions and intuitions. Its cognitive processes take place mainly in the amygdala and other parts of the brain that developed early in our evolution. This system guides our daily habits, helps us make snap decisions and reacts instantly to dangerous life-and-death situations.

The Intentional System reflects our rational thinking and centers around the prefrontal cortex: the part of the brain that evolved more recently. The thoughts and actions we do habitually through time determines our destiny. I might fall and get a few bruises along the way, but if my habit is to get up one more time than I fall, my destiny will be one of success.

If I think positive thoughts and take positive actions toward my goals, my destiny can be one of joyful and uplifting, with moments of gleefulness. I might fall and get a few bruises along the way, but if my habit is to get up one more time than I fall, my destiny will be one of success.

Positive Mindset Is Vital To Keep You Balanced.

What Is Mental Clarity

Would you like to start each day with a clear focus on what you want to accomplish? I know I would. Michael The Traveling Trucker with today’s hot topic.

Mention: https://www.freepik.com/photos/mental-clarity

Would you like to know that what you accomplish today will be accomplishments that meet your needs, desires, and life goals? Most of us have a mental description in our heads of what we would like to accomplish, yet without direction, daily game plan ( on paper) our thoughts get scrambled and we lose focus. So how do we get the Mental Clarity we desire?

Go for a Walk

Any form of exercise will clear your mind, but one of the most effective ways is to go for a walk- NATURES way of course. The very act of moving will put your mind into a more positive state, which will help you think things through more effectively.

Lemon Water in the Morning

Began by drinking lemon water every morning and you will be surprised how you will feal healthier, mentally clearer, and awake within twenty minutes. When you feel healthy physically, you also feel mentally healthy.

Our mind and body work together. If we are physically ill, we don’t feel good mentally, and vice versa. When we feel energetic and alive, we feel fantastic, and our emotional feelings lift.

Plan Your Day the Night Before

When you start and plan your day the night before, you begin the day knowing what you want to accomplish. Most people never think about what they want to accomplish.

Look at the Big Picture

Another way you can achieve mental clarity is by looking at the big picture. Have you ever felt like you were just ticking boxes? I know I have. We miss focus on what’s important and begin working on other peoples projects instead of our own.

Identify What Is Important to You

If you don’t know where you are going, how will you ever know when you get there? If you want to live your life to its maximum potential, decide what is important to you and do everything in your power to make it happen. When you know what you want and why you want it, you are 80% of the way there. The remaining 20% is the effort you put in to achieve it. The 80/ 20 rule is very accurate.

5 Key Self-Care Areas: These are sleep, food, water, exercise, and planning.

Jim Rohn taught: “Every day, stand guard at the door of your mind, and you alone decide what thoughts and beliefs you let into your life. For they will shape whether you feel rich or poor, cursed or blessed.”

One of the most potent ways to bring greater mental clarity into your life is to practice a consistent positive morning routine that focuses you on your day. Sometimes we need to unplug. Read a book, take a walk, drink your favorite beverage, watch nature-rain, snow, sunshine.

Journaling is one of the best ways to get mental clarity. When you see those thoughts and ideas on a page, you gain much more clarity on what they mean to you and what you can do about them.

In closing, remove the toxic people from your life. You do not need them. Toxic people fill your world with negativity, confusion, and emotions that do not help you gain clarity about your life.
