Excited to read this great #marketing book from my friend, Cynthia Samuels. If you want a copy to help turn around your lead generation, I've got 4 extra copies for anyone who wants one! #inspiredbusiness #cynthiasamuels

A dear friend of mine gave me a small little plaque with this quote from Mary Anne Radmacherandy last year as a gift after telling her I was pursuing being an on line business entrepreneur. I had stalled a bit after a time and thus the gift. It sits beneath my monitor on my desk at my corporate job. I cherish that little plaque and look at it every day as it reminds me to keep moving forward to achieve my goals and live a full life and the entrepreneurial success I desire. It reminds me to keep working so that my dream of leaving corporate America comes to realization. It has become my mantra of what I believe are many of the key points required in the daily life of anyone wanting to become a successful entrepreneur. They are points to maintain along my path so that I have the freedom to do what I love to do full time which is to build my own businesses and help other’s do the same. Nothing gets me more psyched up than to help other’s succeed and cheer their success. This this day is all we have to make a change to improve tomorrow. You can’t do anything about yesterday, it is gone and tomorrow is not hear yet. Today is a result of the habits and decisions made yesterday. Yesterday cannot change but you can change what happens today even if it is one little step, one small win or improvement to make tomorrow a better day than the day before. Success today is the realization of yesterday’s planning and actions taken. Plan and implement, plan and implement!

Life can be tough and fraught with challenges but, even if you’re barely hanging on in this moment in your life, it is far better than slipping off the edge. There are two directions you can choose to move at this juncture, and make no mistake about it, it is a choice. You can keep traveling along the same rut waiting for someone to come and rescue you or you can get to climbing your ass out of the situation!  – Thomas Pate
