Brummet's Conscious Blog

-- Quote of the Day -- “… The opportunities have gotten bigger and better, but the biggest challenge for people is to get out of their own way – most of the time it is your self that is stopping you from going ahead; you have to get in the right frame of mind. …What ever you do it has to be measurable; if it can’t be measured then you are just throwing money away. Whoever you are advertising with, look at how they are going to be paid, do they get paid based on your success or are they looking to get paid up front and then you are on your own. I’m big on grassroots marketing – it is a way of giving back to and getting involved with a community. People get tied to you, they will want to support you because you are giving back to them.  It is a way to very inexpensively market your business…  Studies show that businesses that give back to their community usually do 30-40% more business than those who do not .” ~ Will Miller Today's quote was excerpted...

-- Quote of the Day --  “ …Being very conscious – we tend to head back to habit; it is about making that conscious effort. Once you do, you can recognize that you are starting to feel better, and then you’ll feel excited about it. …You have to change your mindset and not just thinking of it as another thing to do on your list. It is about finding something that works for you. Guilt will sabotage your best intentions so we have to get rid of the guilt - but also accept the responsibility that for every action there is a reaction. So I think one of the biggest challenges is learning how to accept responsibility for every decision without experiencing guilt. ” ~ Denise Locsin Today's quote was taken from the Conscious Discussions Talk radio show titled: Learn Healthy Habits   ** (Click on the title to access the full interview) -- Referral Corner -- It has been quite some time since we posted recommended resources for our readers - so her...
