Thought of the Day: November 28, 2009

Anything is possible with hard work, perseverance and faith. If you don't believe me, just look at who's president! I believe you can do it, the question is do you believe you can?!

:30 Homework

Read your homework and then let it marinate. It will ONLY take you :30 to complete such a vital task!

Read and Complete:
Who is your role model? Do you even have a person that you admire? If so, close your eyes and imagine their success stories, their obstacles and how they were able to overcome and achieve. Keep your eyes closed and let their inspiration flow through your mind for :15 seconds. Your thoughts should be filled with inspiration and strength. If you do not have a role model, take this time to consider someone who has achieved admirable success and let their story inspire you! Being with your thoughts is the first step in making an impactful action step. Anything is possible. Accomplishing a goal is only one dream, one step, one miracle, one blessing away . . .

You can do it! FAB believes in you!!!

How are You Building YOUR Brand?

As a professional, it is important that we consider our reputation very seriously. "Personal Branding" is an intricate element between being considered average and exceptional. For instance, what's the first word that comes to mind when you think of Jaime Foxx? Funny! Cindy Crawford? Supermodel! Tyra Banks? Mogul! They have each built their own personal brands and are easily recognizable and respected, not for their riches or fame, but because their brand speaks volume for their work. What is PERSONAL BRANDING? It is the total marketing package that we create to represent the tangible and intangible aspects of our personality, passions, work ethic, confidence and competencies. We must build our personal branding statement in the same way as celebrities. Once they have built their statement, we start to have expectations because we know their capabilities. The same goes for us. We must present who we are to the world!

As a professional coach, I often hear people saying they are not sure how to achieve such a lofty goal when they are simply too young or don't have enough contacts or just don't know what to do. It may seem like an overwhelming task, but of course, FAB is here to the rescue!

Before you can create a personal branding statement that accurately reflects your personal dressing style, personality, professional interests, ambition and goals, it is important that you are clear on those answers first. You CAN NOT build a brand on the foundation of doubt or insecurity. Your story will NOT be believable and will crumble and burn fast, trust me!

Things to Consider when creating your Personal Branding Package:
- Personal style (Does your clothing, hair and makeup accurately reflect who you are?)
- Demeanor (Does your attitude and swagger exude your true self?)
- Confidence (Are you presenting yourself in a strong, but humbling manner? Are you confident in your abilities?)
- Ambition (Are you displaying your go'gettem attitude?)
- Eagerness (If you are eager for knowledge and willing to take the necessary steps to achieve your goals, people will give you a chance.)
- Passionate (Passion should be the driving force behind your actions. Passion will alleviate fear and will propel your desires to step out on faith to dare to be great!)


How do you create your Personal Branding Statement?
Once you have answered the questions above, then you are almost there. Once you know who you are, what you want and have created a strategy to do so, then you've answered your own question. Those answers ARE your personal branding statement. You are selling yourself. Every time you attend a networking function, a meeting, a lunch date, etc. you are marketing yourself. The question remains, are you accurately selling the person you really are???

I will give you a personal example of MY Personal Branding elements. *Note: No 2 statements are exactly the same, because NO ONE can be me. However, you may see similar elements in other people, but no one can be an exact duplicate of me or you!

J.Styles Personal Branding Elements:
- I am a Professional Coach and Founder of The FAB Network.
- I love creative industries (fashion, arts, beauty, and entertainment).
- I love helping people with their career aspirations.
- Accessories and make-up are my MUST-HAVES! Those combined are my WOW factors!
- I am outgoing, personable and genuine.
- My PASSION will get me in the door and my determination to be great will keep me there!

What are your Personal Branding Elements?

Once you have created your personal branding package . . . how can someone else LOVE you if you don't even know what makes you special?

Having an internal Personal Branding Package that can be externally displayed at any time, gives you that competitive edge between being considered average versus exceptional . . . which one do you want to be?


Be confident. Be passionate. Be you.

How to STAY focused . . .

Wouldn't you agree that it's SO hard to stay focused in the midst of our busy lives?! Specifically, speaking about our professional goals. Often times we put our goals on the back burner and never get to our mental to-do lists. As a result, we are filled with disappointment and thoughts of regret because we see no signs of progression. You have goals, but they seem so scattered and the mere thought of where to begin and when you're going to find the time is so overwhelming in itself. No worries, FAB is here to the rescue. If you are filled with TONS of goals, but lack the structure and time management skills necessary to see huge milestones . . . see below for some great tips that may help you to not only make a to-do list, but more importantly complete the list!!! 

Tips to STAY on track . . . 

- First things first, get out your CAREER JOURNAL
- Write a to-do list of everything you're trying to accomplish (this year, within 6 months, within this month, today)
- Separate your lists (today's list should be top of mind)
- Make a to-do list EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Check off your to-do list throughout the day (constantly remind yourself of all the things you want to hold yourself accountable for)
- If you DON'T accomplish some things on your list, re-copy it for tomorrow's to-do list
- If the task requires additional info to be completed (i.e. help, contact info, company, etc.) make sure you include phone numbers, email addresses, etc. so that it doesn't hold you up later
- Date all of your to-do lists in case you need to refer to it at a later date
- If your goals listed on your to-do list is separate from your job responsibilities, make sure that you designate the appropriate time to complete your personal goals
- Don't just write down the "easy" things that you KNOW you can accomplish, write down ALL of your goals . . . the point is progression! If you need help to complete the task, ASK for help and STOP making excuses!
- Once you complete the task, check it off!

Moral of the story: 
Organization and time management are the 2 major key factors needed to staying focused on tackling the to-do lists so closely tied to your dreams!!

Time to make your to-do list, get started, GO!

How do you become and remain INSPIRED?

Inspiration stems from a variety of places and can ultimately be the core of our successes. Inspiration is the driving force behind our efforts to go above and beyond the call of duty to accomplish a task, a goal, a dream . . .

So, the question remains ---> how do you become and remain inspired? That's a question only you can answer! Before we dive deep into that question, let's define the popular term "inspiration".

The definition of INSPIRATION (according to FAB): is the ideas, thoughts, passion and creativity that spawns from a trigger in one's mind to become excited and eager to work toward achieving a goal.

Before true inspiration can take place, it is imperative that you create a space in your life that ignites your mental, emotional and physical state. In simple terms, think outside-the-box. Welcome creativity and wave by to fear.

FAB has a few ideas on how to BECOME and REMAIN inspired . . . check out the thought process below. Let these words meditate into your soul. Inspiration is the foundation of our passion!


Think - If you think you can, you will! If you think you can't, you won't!

Believe - Anything is possible . . .

Dream - Never stunt your dreams with negative thoughts. Dream without hesitation or fear.

Laugh - Laugh loudly and hysterically. Laughter is our heart believing that we deserve to be happy.

Cry - Don't be afraid to shed tears. After all, it's our way of exposing our soul.

Scream - Only confident people have the nerve to scream, so stand tall and yell to the mountain tops.

Sing - Let your heart say what it's really feeling!

Run - Run away from threats and into your destiny.

Fight - Put on your armour and fight for what you want in life.

Dare - Dare to be different, to be better, to be stronger!

Act - Act as if you want "it" . . . after a while, people will start to give you THE chance!

Catch - Be a "Dream Catcher"

Write - Record thoughts. Self-reflection is therapeutic.

Thinking + Believing + Dreaming + Laughing + Crying + Screaming + Singing + Running + Fighting + Daring + Acting + Catching+ Writing = INSPIRATION!

**Follow this formula and you're guaranteed to BECOME and REMAIN inspired!!!**
