WHAT’S YOUR MOTIVATION?
We know that people buy based on emotion and defend what they
buy with logic. "But Mom I really need a new bike because my
tires are worn out" we said at 10 years old. What we really
wanted was the bike that Jane just got for her birthday.

Weekly Wisdom Newsletter Adapt!--Grow More Hair!
Hello readers! Thanks for the comments and stories from the article last week. I hope to share one with you when I get permission. I have had several questions regarding my complimentary coaching offer. Basically this is simply a 30-40 minute phone conversation where you have the opportunity to experience coaching. Simple as that. You pay for the call, I provide the experience. Is that fair, or what? I am increasing my coaching rates next week by a fairly substantial amount. If you are thinking about coaching, I urge you to start now! Now to this week's article ... Winter is on the way! I can tell because the horses are getting furry; or hairy if you prefer. (Of course the fact that I have to wear a coat is a clue as well)Emotions along the lines of panic have been trying to creep past my conscious thought, but as I am a well trained, conscious thought type of person, these feelings get halted at the proverbial door. It is good to look at these thoughts and understand why they are there and how to make use of them. I also know why they are there.Since February, when we moved, I have been steadily working on building a new barn to provide shelter for the horses and the hay they will require for the winter. At the same time, we have been clearing land so grass seed can be planted to allow for grass next year. My mind wants to panic because it feels I am not far enough along. My mind wants me to go running off in a frenzy to get all this done - today!As I write this, I can feel the pressure weighing on me. Where does this pressure come from? Who is it that puts these feelings inside me to cause unrest, unease and discomfort? I look close and sure enough, the culprit is ... me! Why in the world would one part of me want the other parts of me to experience these feelings? Maybe it is an effort to get
me to hurry up and finish? Maybe it is that little gremlin that sometimes sits on my shoulder and says negative things like: I told you that you couldn't do it! Did I not say it would be too hard? Why don't you just give up? You don't have enough money!Do you have a gremlin too? I just tell mine thanks, but please shut up. I know where he is. I also know that I am doing just fine. Maybe I am not as far along as I would like to be. Maybe the barn will be finished and maybe it won't. I will do my best, celebrate and be grateful for what does get done. I will not allow my negative thoughts, or gremlin, affect my thinking, mood, or outlook on life. I control my thoughts, and by doing so I control my feelings; and, like the horses, I adapt. You should see the hair I am growing! (Just kidding!)I have called for help in areas that are not my strengths to speed the process up a little. I have changed my schedule to allow for a bit more time spent here at the ranch and, lastly, I have bought a pair of very warm coveralls to be ready for old man winter.As always,Your online Coach and Friend,Miami PhillipsFounder of Creative MastermindsEmail: coach@creativemasterminds.com
