Feed your mind every day if you want to be strong | April 7, 2009

Sometimes, all you need is to get your head right. But with so many challenges coming from all directions, it can be pretty difficult to clear your mind of the negative and find the desire to do something good.

That's why we all need to feed ourselves with things that nurture us. Just as we must eat food every day to remain strong and healthy, so we must consume motivational, inspirational and informative content on a daily basis.

Doing so allows us to keep our emotional, mental, intellectual and spiritual energy up. And that's important so we are able to face the tough tasks ahead. Consuming inspirational, motivational and informative content gives us confidence, helps us see life in a different way and teaches us to do something better. Of course this blog is a great resource full of inspiration and information, as is the rest of the Knowledge Wealth Series Web site, but there are many other resources to help you on your way.

A neat resource passed on to me earlier has an absolute plethora of inspirational, motivational and informative talks to boost your mood, expand your knowledge and help you get (or stay) on track. Check out 100 Edifying Talks for Self-Improvement and Lifehacking. You'll find talks on a range of topics, including the environment, health, business, arts and culture, relationships and more.

Feeding your mind and spirit doesn't have to be overwhelming. Just find information that's of interest to you and that can help you. Consume a little bit every day and you'll find yourself in a better mood, with a better state of mind. And ultimately, you'll produce better results and enjoy doing it!

Looking for big dreams in action | April 2, 2009

I'm working on my next book, and it's going to be really exciting - and helpful! I can't tell you a lot right now, but I will tell you that it will be something to get you jazzed about your dreams and it'll move you to get off the couch and start working on them, with gusto!

I'm in the research phase so am looking for stories of real people who have taken a big risk -- and have seen it pay off. So if you are someone or know someone who took action on a dream or big goal and it produced an amazing result, then e-mail me at monica@knowledgewealthseries.com. I'd love to hear your story!

Zoom Power: Your Key to Hitting Your Personal, Business and Financial Targets was a lot of fun to write. I got a chance to interview some people I think are pretty neat: William Joyce, creator of Rolie Polie Olie book and TV series; Les Brown, internationally known speaker, author and one-time talk show host; Lenora Worth, author of lots of great books; Delano Wilson, who as a young 30-something is making his mark in business as a McDonald's franchise owner; and others. Zoom Power helps readers see the possibilities for themselves. By the time you finish reading Zoom Power, you will have the mindset for success. It is a great motivational tool and includes a practical goal achievement plan to turn that motivation into action.

This new book will go even further and take away your reasons for holding off on your dream. It will give you the mental tools to get going on your dream -- now.
