15. Keep your mind on your goals. If things get tough for you, go back to your life goals. What's your life mission? What are your values? What ministries or social causes do you want to support? Where do you want to live? What interests do you have? Where do you want to travel? Who is your ideal husband or wife? How many kids do you want to have? What does your dream house look like? How much money do you want to make each year? Keep your goals in mind during your setbacks, and you will be able to persevere to make progress toward them.
25. Go to sleep on it. Take a nap. Jesus slept during a storm; you can too. Just rest like a baby. Even if you don't literally go to sleep, you can still rest in God. Let the problems escape from your mind, and rest in God. Think about peace and comforts and the blessings of this day (like the weather, or the health you have, or the people you meet, or that meal you had, or that drive you took, or those two butterflies you just saw, or that beautiful view you just saw, or your favorite cup of coffee you just had, or you relationship with God you're blessed with, or that husband or wife that you love, or that vacation you just took, or anything). Rest in the peace and stillness of God. Hear His still, small voice, and just go to sleep. Your situation will turn around.
The example that Heffernan used was this: Dr. Stewart found a correlation between childhood cancers and prenatal x-rays. She worked with Kneale to verify her facts. What's interesting is that Stewart thought she needed to hurry her research so her theory could be proven. Why hurry? She obviously thought her information - that x-rays were risky for pregnant women -- would be acted upon swiftly, before she could collect the necessary data.

Even a well framed and messaged presentation delivered in a monotonous and disinterested manner will be poorly received. Executives (and all presenters) have a bubble within which they are comfortable. It has been successful to get them to where they are today. However, I am often asked to help executives with strong technical backgrounds to make the step up to senior positions. This requires coming out of the comfort bubble which means overcoming deeply engrained habits. Common habits include being too softly-spoken, projecting a constant (often low) stream of energy and little variety in voice and energy throughout a presentation.
A way to be always ready for this challenge is to properly message your presentation. I call this taglining. Consumer companies use taglines to create a memorable phrase that is linked with their brand. For example, since adidas introduced their "Impossible is Nothing" tagline, it has become part of their target audience's vocabulary. I call this type of message a 'meta-tagline' which summarises a broad theme or direction. Your presentation should have a meta-tagline. You can think of it as your high concept or movie title. (eg It's a Wonderful Life, Saving Private Ryan, Snakes on a Plane).
In another of my favorite Link to Carl Kruse on TED William Kamkwamba shares with us his tale of triumph as a 14 year old boy challenged by hunger and poverty in search of an education. His parting gift, "Trust yourself and believe. Whatever happened don't give up." There is always more to do and more to learn. Push yourself to be better in 2010 and challenge yourself to improve the status quo.
Needless to say, this activity is not something very conducive for us introverts. Teamwork is great, but if constantly forced upon people who identify themselves as (or who even have no idea that they are) introverts, teamwork can defeat its own purposes: creativity and productivity.
Replace: "I don't know... " with "I'm going to find the answer... " or "I'm going to find out how... ": Example: "I don't know how to pay my bills this month." Instead, say "I'm going to find a way to pay my bills. It's definitely out there somewhere. I am trusting God to give me the solutions." Speak positive, and positive actions will soon follow to improve your life.
One of the first things I worked on with my coach was my ideal client profile. I dug deep to identify who that person is - her business, her values and her needs. This clarity has made it easy to know when someone is a good fit for me and my business.
