“What if…?”; “If only…”; I wish I had…”; “I shoulda…”; One of these days I’m gonna’…”

The phrases above are intentionally unfinished because they are many times uttered either in a person’s last breath or certainly many times prior. The justifications are rampant having to do with such excuses as time, energy, time, focus, time, money, lest we forget-time.

The purpose of the ChaosOver Program is not really about being organized! You see, unto itself, organization has no intrinsic value whatsoever. While many consider organization to be an ‘end’, truth be told, organization is solely a ‘means’, a vehicle, to take us where “we say” we want to arrive in our careers; in our family lives; in our personal lives.

Dealing With The Second and Third Generations of Stress

Let’s face it, there has always been stress associated with our lives. Yet, it is important to acknowledge that there are basically two forms of stress. We are all too familiar with the negative kind, however let us acknowledge that there is the positive variety as well. For example, remember the moment that you fell in love (interesting how we use the term “fell” to describe this feeling). Anyway, that was a stressful experience, albeit a positive one.

The very derivation of the word ‘disease’ is understood by simply placing a hyphen between the first ‘s’ and ‘e’, thus creating the term: ‘Dis-Ease’. Continue reading →

The Power of Intention

In the ebb and flow of our lives, most people fervently believe that circumstance, happenstance, coincidence, and luck control our outcomes. However, I recognize that our own subconscious mind provides us with the empowerment to directly affect this ebb and flow for ourselves, to an extraordinary degree.

The ‘Power of Intention’ has been the most significant realization of my adult life. Since 1973 I have spoken in my presentations around the world of the conscious and the subconscious, and how far more powerful our subconscious is in each one of us. Yet, we spend the majority of our lives rarely tapping into the strength and resolve of our subconscious. We are basically unattached to our subconscious mind, let alone believing that it has significant power. Continue reading →

Next Step Mentality

I contend that the biggest disputes taking place in relationships, both in our business and our personal lives, emanate from the failure to convey information. The most commonly used mea culpa of “I forgot” does not lend itself to forgiveness very often.

One of the world’s greatest pool players of all time is Willie Mosconi. What made Mosconi so adept at the game was not simply that he could shoot a ball into any pocket on the pool table, rather his uncanny ability, as a result of shooting his last shot, to have that little white cue ball in the perfect position for his next shot. In other words, Mosconi was a master of what I call ‘Next Step Mentality’. Continue reading →

The Home Office

Because we spend the majority of our waking life at work we need a place of respite, a place where we can feel at peace, what some may refer to as a ‘sanctuary’.

Whether we have a home office as the primary venue to conduct our business or simply as the area to pay bills, sort the mail, etc., it needs to adhere to some very important guidelines.

Keeping in mind that in many homes there are space limitations, nevertheless your home office should be in a location that is as private as possible. In other words, a living room where you entertain or may have family members talking or watching t.v. is not a good place. The very last choice for your home office is your bedroom. The visual connection as well as the energy runs in great contradiction to the purpose of this room. Continue reading →
