To reinvent the wheel?

The other day I was chatting with a friend. We were chatting about the work environment and how in some companies, they move employees around into new roles after two years. I thought this was a great idea. Allowing employees to move around in a company broadens experience and skills. My friend was not so enthusiastic about the idea of learning something new. She said, "I've been in my role for 9 years. Why would I want to take a new job and reinvent myself?" I said, "I guess you've reached your level of success in life." She said, "Yes, I have achieved my goals."

Imagine a square box. Now imagine the square box and make it into three equal parts. Consider drawing the lines horizantally. You should be envisioning three rectangular boxes stacked on top of each other. Each rectangular box is considered a level of success. At the top right corner of each sector envision a "Success" indicator.

Now envision each sector yet again divided into three new sections. The sections are divided by dotted lines. Not to be mistaken for a sector, straight line. This is the life path we must all travel. We march our way to the top of each sector from left to right.

When we were young and we had no limitations, we could dream and see all three sectors. We could even see the path we would take to get to the success indicator in each sector. We all wanted the same thing in life--we all wanted to be successful. I don't remember waking up in the morning thinking I was going to fail at everything I did, did you?

As we continue down our life path, we get inundated with what I call "Environmental Noise." Now envision dropping a major city in your square box. What happened to your Success Indicators? Where did they go? Confusing right?

We continue down our life path with lots of environmental noise. We begin to mistaken the dotted lines for the straight lines and reach our success indicator sooner rather than later. Sometimes we even hold onto the ones we love because we want to show them how we reached our success indicator.

Then one day we wake up and begin to realize we did not reach any of our success indicators. What we actually begin to realize is we are stuck in the middle of some sector and don't have a clue which direction to turn. The noise in your sector is so loud, it's dizzying. Think back to when you were a child, try to clear your mind enough so you can see your success indicators again.

I don't know about you, but I'm not about to reinvent the wheel either, but what I do know is I am not getting stuck because of the loud environmental noise.

One of the methods I used to allow me to see my success indicator again was journaling.

Thanks for listening,

I'm sitting at my desk thinking to myself, what makes me so different than most people? The answer to the question is quite simple. When I dream of an idea, I like to explore the idea and see where it takes me. I explore all my ideas for new opportunities. I treat each and every new idea as if the idea is already coming to life. The idea does not cost anything to explore.

When you have an idea, get it out of your head and put it on paper. Explore your idea and see where it takes you. If you are still excited about your idea a few weeks later, you are definitely onto something. You should keep exploring your idea, begin writing some of the small tasks that you can complete, tasks that cost you nothing.

What sets me apart from most people is I have no barriers, nor should you.

My stomach is in knots right now. Not for anything negative. The knots in my stomach are about the love of life and everything that comes with it. The world is amazing when you open yourself up to love. One of the first things I learned in life was to love myself first. "first and last love is self-love" How can we love anyone else if we don't love ourselves first?

My knots are going away now. Thank you.

A Dreamers Mind - Idea up for grab... Who wants it?

The idea came to me over the weekend. That is when I started to think about all the work I have to do as a Life Coach with my clients.

The idea requires a software developer. I'm thinking it can be sold online and retail. Who wants to chat business?

SEO Secrets

A few weeks ago I took it upon myself to surf the web and learn as much as I could about SEO. I worked around the clock learning as much as I could about writing search engine friendly copy for websites, the tools to check for keywords and phrases, and whole lot more. At the end of day four of my research, I could learn no more no care to learn anymore.

I applied everything I learned about SEO to my personal website www.brunologreco.com time will tell if what I learned had any real value to ranking higher on google. I believe I have succeeded in my mission to learn and implement SEO techniques. Today you can find two of my articles on page 1 of google in addition to ranking top 6 for my website keyphrase.

Along the way I learned a bunch of secrets on how to make money online. I'm going to share the secrets, SEO gurus and SEO companies use to rank higher on the Search Engines as well as how to make some extra cash for your pockets.

If you are new to the Internet and are dying to learn how to make money by blogging, writing, advertising or anything else you want to do online, come back often and read what piece of juicy information I might reveal. Don't forget this blog is really dedicated to a dreamers mind... I just might give away an idea or two.

6:25 in the morning and I have already been up for 3 hours. Not so creative this morning seeing how I only slept for five hours. My eyes are heavy and I've been staring at a computer screen for the last two hours waiting for some kind of inspiration to pop out of the computer monitor.

I think I'm calling it a morning. I'm going to head back to bed, maybe take a snooze for a few hours.

Talk to you later...

Dear Friends,
Welcome to the February issue of my newsletter.

In this issue:

• Valentine’s Day and Life Coaching Savings Packages
  
• Food For Thought about Your Relationships
  
• Exciting Things to Come On Brunologreco.com & www.iijournal.com
  
• Some Optional Homework Assignments
  

I hope the month of February has found you well. The crisp winter air can be invigorating for you if you let it be. Are you someone who hides away indoors in the winter? Instead of hibernating and putting your life on hold until spring why not let the cold energize you all the more? Ok, so snow shovelling and having to scrape thick ice off your windshield might make you feel a little less than chipper in the morning but don’t let it get you down.

Why wait until spring to enjoy life?

We often put things off, don’t we? I’ll lose weight after my holidays, I’ll quit smoking as soon as I’m less stressed, I’ll look for a better job when I get through this rough patch, I’ll organize and de-clutter as soon as things settle down etc., etc. Again, why wait until later to have the life you want…a better life!

Why not try doing something out of the ordinary this month. Energize yourself with something exciting! Were you full of vim and vigour at New Year’s thinking it was the time to change your life? Many people start to feel their ambition die down before Groundhog Day. Don’t let it! You have the power to change your life for the better any of the glorious 365 days the year offers to you.

Valentine’s Day

Speaking of special days…Valentine’s Day is almost upon us. Do you love your relationships in your life? I’m not talking about just your relationship with your spouse or significant other, I’m talking about all the relationships you have. This is a great time to nurture them and nourish your relationship with yourself too.

Are you searching for a great Valentine’s Day gift? To celebrate this lovely time of year there’s a discount offered at www.brunologreco.com where you can buy yourself or a loved one a life coaching package at a discount of 25% off regular pricing. There are numerous packages to choose from and what better gift to a loved one (or ones self) than the empowerment that comes with making the decision to take the driver’s seat in life? Check out the website for more information about the packages and what they can do for you.

Relationships with others can shape how we feel about ourselves and how we treat everyone in our life. Our relationships shape our own identity, really. Whether you’re involved in a serious relationship or not your relationships with everyone in your life impacts your level of happiness and success. Consider the following:

• How you treat your boss will impact how he or she treats you.

• How you treat your spouse and children will have the same boomerang effect.

• Your relationship with your parents, your siblings and your children will all impact how successful you are in life.

If you’re living your life continually thinking that others are treating you poorly, it’s a great time to make the decision about how you will allow yourself to be treated. Model the ideal behaviour in the way that you treat everyone else. There really is something profound in the verse, “Do unto others as you’d have done unto you.”

Not only will that behaviour result in you feeling better about the world around you but those positive feelings will vibrate in your universe and you’ll see new doors of opportunity open around you.

Food For Thought

Do you have some broken fences to mend? It’s a great time to think about taking action in that area. Do you use your tongue as a sword against others with gossip or jealousy? These are actions that can hurt your own life. In your relationships, almost everyday can be like Valentine’s Day if that’s the type of relationship you choose to have.

Exciting Things On My Horizon…

Watch for newly published articles from me on the subject matter soon and learn how you can use it to channel positive energy and bring about change in your life.

Optional Homework assignments:

Here are some easy but very effective homework assignments you can do:

-Tell someone about a goal of yours. Hopefully you choose someone who will be willing to remind/ask you about it later. Saying it aloud can often make a difference.

-Write it down! Start journaling now if you like by writing down a list of goals and put the list in a place that you look at every day (such as the refrigerator, on a post-it note on your computer monitor, the bathroom mirror or wherever you’ll see it regularly) and you’ll realize how much easier it is to work towards your goals and dreams when you’ve taken the time to write them down and when you see them in ink each and every day.

Or, grab a spiral notebook and write down some goals in life. Whether it’s to change something you don’t like or to do more of something you do like, writing it down can make it indelibly printed in your mind and take an idea to the planning phase. Try it!

Nourish some relationships. Whether they’re intimate relationships or family members or even a friend you want to reach out to, spend some time with someone you enjoy and help make them feel good about themselves.

Have a great month!

So I'm sitting here thinking if I have to go back and correct my spelling and grammar errors. I've decided that correcting my errors would turn this into work. So if you have taken an interest in my blog, you should know that sometimes i think so fast i leave out words. When I proof my reading I still don't catch it because it's still me proofing my own work. So I will apologize now for any spelling and grammar errors. 

I want to spill my guts out to whoever will listen. I'm a Master Life Coach and Mentor in the Toronto and New York area. I listen to and guide a lot of people so It's only natural for me to want someone to talk to too, but I don't necessarily want an answer back from anyone.
