What are YOU waiting for?

We are leaving today for West Virginia to go to the CWB seminar. Before we leave I just wanted to say this one thing.

There is something amazing about the people who actually take steps to change their lives positively. The path is not always easy but the destination is definitely worth it! Even if it doesn't turn out as expected, at least you tried, at least you gave it your all. If nothing else the path that you go down makes you a better person.

We are going to be surrounded by people who are getting ready to step on the path, those who are on that path, and those who are already at their destination. The person who started our group just over 2 years ago is a millionaire and her wish is to share what she has found with the rest of us. How awesome is that?

So, my question to you is this: What are YOU waiting for? The timing is never going to be perfect, life isn't perfect...but we can do our best to make it that way!

This song (What Are You Waiting For by Natalie Grant) says it all:

sometimes i get that overwhelming feeling
so sad the faces on TV
if i tried to make a difference would it help anyways
but then i stop and to myself i say.........

CHORUS:

so you wanna change the world
what are you waiting for
you say you're gonna start right now
what are you waiting for
it only takes one voice
so come on now and shout it out
give a little more
what are you waiting for

sometimes i feel a little helpless
seems like i can't do a thing
but anything is possible just you wait and see
good things happen if you just believe.........

CHORUS

someday somehow
you're gonna take that step
cause time is ticking away
right here right now
before it's too late
gonna face tomorrow today

CHORUS

The words don't do it justice, so here is a video I found on YouTube:

Brian Adams Rocks!!!

I have been telling you about the CWB seminar that is coming up on July 27th, 28th, and 29th. I have been telling you that I am so excited about all that is going to be covered there...well...Now I am so excited I can't stand it!!!

This morning we had a conference call with Brian Adams, he is going to be speaking to us Saturday, July 28th, in West Virginia at the seminar. I have to say, my face hurts from smiling so much during the call! He is absolutely wonderful to listen to. He is very straight forward and to the point, but it is all delivered in a way that makes you feel good. A way that totally motivates you to go out and get things done.

Brian says that "you have to make successful actions a habit". He also says that "In ALL areas of your life, nothing will get better until YOU get better". Brian is absolutely a speaker worthy of checking out!

Here is the bio from his website www.endlesspossibilities.net

Brian Adams is a published author and award-winning speaker. Born and raised in rural North Carolina, Brian did not just endure but purposely overcame his poverty stricken and abusive upbringing. He decided at a very young age that he was not going to be a casualty of his environment but instead an example of the human strength and willingness needed to succeed. He learned early on that we can be, do or have anything we want, no matter what we experience in life.

Through the years he has mastered several styles of martial arts which enabled him to lead numerous training seminars for the Los Angeles Police Department. While teaching children’s and women’s self defense classes, he realized it was more important to teach people mental self defense.

He recently sold his successful hardwood flooring business to pursue his true life’s passion—helping others succeed.

Through his new company—Endless Possibilities—Brian shares his enthusiastic, motivational, and entertaining seminars in which he reveals the strategies and techniques that he has learned throughout the years on how to control the conscious and subconscious minds, in order to look at the good in EVERY situation and learn from them.

Brian’s life is a true example of what one can accomplish regardless of one’s background.

I have to say, that's a nice bio, but it doesn't do him justice!

I am seriously excited about the seminar and I would love to meet YOU there!

It's been a while!

I feel like it's been so long since I posted here!

Things have been kind of crazy around here. But it's been a good crazy :)

My son has been at day camp with his Cub Scout pack this week. There is only one thing about day camp...I have to drop him off each morning and pick him up each afternoon! Now, this wouldn't be a problem but we live in the middle of nowhere and camp is on the opposite side of the middle of nowhere...at least that's how it seems when I'm making the drive each day! But, that's OK. He is having a ball and I'm sure he will remember this forever.

One more thing, for those of you who don't really know what goes on at a Cub Scout day camp...it scared me a little when I found out. They have been shooting bb's every day (not the little play ones either). Today is archery and sling shot day...fun for the boys, frightning for the moms!

This month is our CWB seminar. I am getting really excited about it! It is going to be in Huntington, WV on July 27th, 28th, and 29th. All the details can be found here!

Also, for about the last month, I have been co-hosting the morning members-only forum calls for the CWB . I was nervous at first so it took me a few calls to really speak up, but it has been so much fun! I think I have learned more than I have taught, but that is OK! That is part of what makes this group who we are. We all help each other out. There is no stepping on each other to get to the top. Nope, here we all take each other by the hand and we all go to the top together!

If I can answer any questions for you on Coastal Vacations or the CWB (Coastal Vacations WealthBuilders) let me know!

I'll see you at the top and I hope you are having a wonderful summer day!

Do You Squidoo?

Hi!

Do you Squidoo?

I had never heard of Squidoo until a few weeks ago. I checked out a few lenses and I thought that they were OK, nothing really special. Well, then I started seeing it more and more on the internet. A few people talked me into creating my own lens, so I went for it. It was really easy and it didn't take long at all.

My lens is www.squidoo.com/coastalvacationswealthbuilders - go check it out and rate me!

So, now I am officially hooked! I have one published lens and another that I just started working on. It really is addicting!

If you don't already know, squidoo lenses rank pretty well in the search engines too :)

Go check out a few lenses, then make one of your own. You can create one on whatever you like! It's fun! (and there are some really great lenses there too) Happy Squidoo-ing!

July Already?

Wow it's July already! This year is flying by!

You know what? Even though I have had my home business for a little over 2 years, I have worked from home full time for 1 year and 2 weeks now! That is so exciting! So many people work a full time job and then start a business on the side hoping to one day be able to replace their job. Many people work a job and have a business for years without ever being able to quit their day job. I was able to do it in one year! It could have been sooner if I had worked more consistently in the beginning. Whatever your dreams and goals are, never give up on them. Just remember, it can be done!

I hope you are enjoying the Summer. I also hope you have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July holiday. I plan on taking my kids, my nephew, and my niece to the park in town. They have a children's parade and face painting and a bunch of other stuff the kids love. They also have food vendors, live bands, and, of course, the fireworks! I'm like a big kid when it comes to the fireworks!

Whatever you plan on doing for the holiday, have fun!

Whatever you plan on doing with your life, have fun with that too! Life is meant to be great! If you aren't loving your life then it's time to make a change. If you are loving your life than - good for you! That's great!

:)
