Persistence is a boring but necessary virtue. You might not think anything is changing in your career life or love life, but if you are persistent you will eventually see change. Remember! True failure only happens when you abandon your quest. Keep on questing!

Living in the past is like driving forward while staring in the rear view mirror.     Believing is seeing.     Be an over-fright success story.     One's actions convince louder than one's words.     Make progress. Make new mistakes.     All work and no play makes Jill want to reach for the Prozac.     The purpose of your life is to find the purpose of your life. It doesn't matter how fast you get there if you're heading in the wrong direction.     If at first you don't succeed, you're doing something stupid.     You're nobody until somebody hates you.     Behind every successful woman is someone who pissed her off.     To get where you need to go you must first see who you really are.     Be a warrior, not a worrier.     Be a winner, not a whiner.     If the coyote had stopped to catch his breath, he might have caught the roadrunner.     A pack of puppies led by a pitbull will always be feared more than a pack of pitbulls led by a puppy.     Brainpower is as important as horsepower. Read, read, read!     You should always pick a job for its passion value not cash-in value.     Don't let a blame preoccupation ruin your occupation.     It's always better to go for longterm greed over short term greed.     A shortcut is often the longest distance between two points.     Time is money...and time wasters are money wasters.     Don't wait to make heaps and heaps of cash to have heaps and heaps of fun.     Every member of the Fortune 500 Club could also be a member of the Misfortune 500 Club.     Money doesn't bring you true happiness...but happiness can bring you true money. If you love what you do, the money will come.     Whatever business you're in you're in the people business.     Fail Faster. Succeed faster.     Behind every successful woman is someone who pissed her off.     Follow the fuscia brick road.   Failure is in many ways like "fullure" - it is always full of lessons to be learned.     Believe in a laughter life.     Don't let your convictions become your restrictions.     Invest in "Fresh Air Fun." Take a walk outside once a day.     If you want your body to be smoking, you've got to stop smoking.     Sometimes, all you gotta do is ask. Duh.     Taking no action is an action. Duh.     Happiness is not about what happens to you -- but about how you choose to respond to what happens.     Comedy = tragedy + 3 months and/or 3 margaritas!     Practice that tongue twister "NO" today.     Take the fat out of your fate. Slim down your schedule to what matters.     It's not just what you know...but what you do with what you know.     The grass is greener on the other side - until you get there and see it's astroturf.     When you grow - you often outgrow.     The only constant is change.     You are a human being, not a human was or a human will be.     Self honesty is the only path to happiness.     Sometimes we're "mad at" someone whom we should merely be "sad at."     Be so proactive you're preactive.     Fast doesn't always last.     Love is a boomerang. What have you and give away is what you get back.     Fear of commitment: it could happen to you...or someone you can't love.     Saying difficult things now is better than fixing even more difficult problems later.     It is better to have loved and lost - than to live with a psycho for the rest of your life.     It is better to have loved and lost - and had some really amazing hot sex - than never to have lived and loved at all.     A man is not a project. A man is a man. And a project is a project.     It's better to have a short bad relationship than a long bad relationship.     It's worth it to hold out for a soul mate and not settle for a cellmate.     Assess breeds success.     Turn all bad experiences into good inperiences - take them in fully, and change in a positive way.

CAREER BUTT KICK TIP


QUICK QUESTION: Have you truly given yourself enough time to finish that big project that’s due this month – I mean finish it with style and grace?

If not…how do you presently get yourself to do what’s due -- before it’s overdue because you’ve underdone?

Wanna know my theory about YOU? (Yes, even having never met you!)

You procrastinate because nothing motivates you as perkily as good ol’ fashioned fear.

Well, except for good ol’ fashioned pleasure!

Am I right? Are you blushing? Don’t. This is good ol’ fashioned human nature.

Basically, nearly everything that is ever done on this planet by anybody is done for one of 2 reasons:

1. fear of pain 2. desire for pleasure

But this is good news.

Once you recognize these two motivational forces, you can consciously figure out how to embrace fear and pleasure – make them your buddies who help you out at your office.

For example…you know that project that is due in 1 month – the one you think you have soooo much time to do? Well, don’t just give yourself a deadline for that project that you will only see a few days before the project’s actual due date. Get out your calendar NOW – and give yourself a few fair warning ill-lines that come much sooner – ill-lines that pre-scare you: DO A LITTLE NOW OR DIE A LOT LATER! Write something in various calendar squares – a mantra, a warning – a lil’ something that will create a state of urgency in you sooner than a few days before your actual deadline.

The goal: Make yourself a little more scared on a daily basis and weekly basis about deadlines—so you’re not shocked to death when they arrive.

Next up…create a funeral-line. Meaning? Pre-plan some ceremony to honor the passing of your deadline – some special event to experience when you finally put your deadline to rest. It could be a massage, a shopping trip, a champagne dinner with your sweetie, or a Kripsy Crème donut.

In summary:Scare and reward yourself to reach your goals.

Please come talk to my students at LIM College (95% young women - fashion school) and help them snap out of it ! (of course you won't be able to mention the word pleasure ... so we'll watch you spin the word fear)
And maybe this time I will get to grab your face and check yoru teeth like you did to me once in a club in the hamptons (shortly after your dog training book)
I must say I cracked up when I saw it at BookHampton.
Oh by the way - Thelma and Louise, which we saw together, is still up on my list - so thank you for taking me (they still let dogs in back then...)
