As you all know I’m I really enjoy Beach Body products! As I started researching the company and it’s instructors, I started following some of them on Twitter. I started following, Chalene Johnson, who made Chalene Extreme and other exercise programs. I’ve never done any of her workouts, but I started following her on Twitter. I really enjoyed her tweets about leadership, motivation, and social media.

It turns out she is actually a motivational speaker, a business owner, and gets mentored by Brian Tracy.

In the beginning of the year she made a free 30-day challenge program available to anyone who wants to grow personally. I’m currently in the second week of it, and it’s making a huge difference in the way I live day to day. I’ve been learning how to become more effective at setting priorities, setting and attaining goals, and maintaining a daily to-do list. It’s helped immensely.

I’d recommend for you to go through the challenge. Once you sign up, you get a 5-10 minute video from Chalene e-mailed to you daily. The videos always come with something practical to apply to your life and often contain free documents you can download to help you through the journey.

It’s been so helpful, I thought I’d share it with you. I hope you’ll take advantage of it. It’s free! If you’re interested in growing yourself, you need to!

Enjoy!

Recently I read Zig Ziglar’s book, See You at the Top. In it, I noticed that over and over again he referred to our alarm clocks as opportunity clocks. I loved that! Most people dread the thought of hearing their alarm clock go off! Zig recognizes that it’s how you view your “alarm” clock that makes the difference.

If you know me, you know I’m a huge morning person. In fact, I was asked today how I can get up at 5 a.m. everyday. To be honest with you, it’s my view of waking up at 5 a.m. that wakes me up, not my personal desire.

Every night when I go to bed, it’s like Christmas Eve. Seriously! I am that excited to wake up the every morning! Why? Because everyday I wake up I have the opportunity to go after the life that God has planned for me.

Everyday I have the opportunity to:

• Add value to peoples lives
• Meet people I’ve never met before!
• Work out
• Read a good book
• Spend time with the people I love
• Eat!
• Work toward my dreams!

The list of opportunities is endless! What if you woke up everyday looking forward to the opportunities that lay before you instead of sleeping for a few more hours!

Never again set your “alarm clock”, instead, set your “opportunity clock. That small change in your thinking could revolutionize your life!
