Dave’s Daily Motivation is brought to you by David McGarry, who is an online entrepreneur and passive income coach. Dave’s Daily Motivation is a short and quick inspiration and motivational message that inspires entrepreneurs to achieve their goals and reach their dreams. Today the word is value and around the :50 mark you find out a really great quote that can change the way you business.
When I first started out on my journey to become an entrepreneuer things were great but there were times when I was unsure and did not know whether or not I should continue down the path of the unknown. One day though I was reading a blog post by Craig Ballaytane, one of the first people who inspired me to create Working Mom Workouts, and in the post he talked about how he would write a thank you journal ever day, so when he started feeling sorry for himself he would look back to this journal and it would change his mindset. That inspired me to start writing down things I was grateful for and today I want to share a few that I believe have been instrumental for my success.
1.) I am grateful for the unique talents and skills my creator gave me. Each and every one us have our own unique skills and talents that were given to us. Once I began to understand and hone in on my unique skills and talents I started to realize what I was called to do.What are your talents and have you begun to fully use them?
2.) I am grateful for the fact I saw the sun rise this morning and that I am able to get out of bed and conquer the day ahead of me. Every day we are presented with the choice of being great and making a difference in this world or just being part of this world.Are you going to make a difference today?
3.) My wonderful family and friends. Any entrepreneur will tell you that their ultimate success lies within the support of their family and friends. Sure people can and have succeeded on their own but you need a support system and I can’t thank my family and friends enough for being behind me and having faith in me!
4.) Mistakes that I make today. It may sound crazy but I am thankful for the mistakes that I know I am going to make each and everyday. I have the best intentions to be more productive, contact more leads, write better blog posts, but no matter how hard I try I am going to make mistakes and I am okay with that because it allows me to get better and grow as an entrepreneur.
5.) I am also grateful for my flaws. Having areas of weakness helps me to get better and develop my skills, plus it allows me to seek out others that can help me balance my weaknesses.
6.) My will to become more. Since I was a kid I always wanted to be great and although I believe I may be above average in certain areas I still have a will to become and do more with my life!
7.) As crazy as this may sound I am grateful for the people who have stabbed me in the back. Whenever I have had situations like this occur I learn who my real friends are and whom I can trust no matter what.
8.) I am grateful for the problems I encounter daily. Having problems and being able to work through them makes you stronger and develops your skills.
9.) I am grateful for the people reading this post and following me. Without having people to help educate and teach them what I have learned would leave a void in my life!
9.5) I am grateful for the ability for me to click send.
P.S. I would love to hear what you are grateful for and if you liked this post pleas “Like” it, Google + it and share with your friends!
To your success,

From time to time I get some really good emails from a bunch of different sources and when I do I want to share them with you. Read this email from Steve Straus. It is insightful when thinking about risk.

Today’s Topic – PRINCIPLE: Risk
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied,
cause success to come to you easier and quicker.)
New research on the topic of risk has surfaced some
intriguing insights, namely that we have risk and control
intertwined.
If you feel in control of a situation, you will take on a
greater amount of risk than if you feel you are not in
control.
For instance, consider a skydiver. He or she clearly
assumes a level of risk by jumping out of an airplane.
That risk to life-and-limb is much greater than they
have as a passenger in a modern commercial airliner
in regular service, but they may be terrified to fly!
The difference? In the skydiving activity they are (or
at least believe they are) in full control of their destiny.
As a passenger in the airliner they have given up all
control to a stranger in the cockpit.
Another example — an entrepreneur may have a higher
risk of financial security than a corporate employee,
but having greater personal control of their destiny
may trump the “safety” of the corporate job.
When you notice potential risk also notice possible
control. Having a greater sense of control may let
you take on much greater risk.
Coaching Point: Do you control your destiny? Does it
feel risky?
YOU ARE FREE TO FORWARD THIS. And Thanks!
