Promoting Positive Attitudes for Yourself and Others
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Learning from the past successes and failures can bring us significant opportunities to help one another. Think about 10 people who played an important part in your life. They can be parents, grandparents, neighbors, or bosses. What did they teach you? Was it a spirit of kindness, organization, joy, or how to be social? Every person we encounter has the capacity to lend us a helping hand or great insight. What will you pass on to others?
Linda shares how the way we learn either helps us conquer life and supports our lifestyles or deflates us. Being aware of our own learning styles also can allow us to touch others in a positive way. Responding to the needs of one another quickly adds joy, affirmation that we are worth it, and positivity. As grandparents we can lend a helping hand in a way to parents simply because we have different skills, less pressure, and the wisdom to do the small necessary things that affirm children.
Enjoy the stories and ideas that may help you take the first step to riding the escalator of success.
Prepare for Success

Preparing for Success may take time and thought, but once you are prepared, the task may not only be fun, but profitable. Linda addresses in Podcast 137 the small insignificant mini miracles may come from the rhythm that we set in place. It may work for you too?
A smile, a well packed backpack and enthusiasm help prepare us for a good day!
Reliable and genuine people make the first step to becoming great leaders easy. When development starts early, it often continues to grow as we enter into adulthood and business. No matter what environment we are in, we need to develop the skills that can help us to be independent and allow us to contribute to society.
What are you working on? What do you want to accomplish? Who do you need to connect with in the coming weeks? What ambitions do you have that you are working on each day?
As you listen to this weeks podcast, hope you have a few great “takeaways” to move you forward! It may put you on the escalator of success.

The Jobs that Keep Paying You Forward
The experience that pays you the most in life is not always recognized. Hopefully you’ll find a few take-aways as Linda shares some of the earliest jobs she had encountered. Where are you in your career? Have you tried a number of different things and find they all have some of the same ingredients? Are they all mechanical in nature? Are they in one industry? Are they jobs where you are in control of your own time? Are you a person who likes to be in the car and out and about in sales? Knowing the common characteristics helps us determine professional or corporate jobs that we might prefer.
Some occupations are designed around our environment!
Locations, our age, and the economy all help dictate the types of job that makes sense. There are times when our proximity to certain industries give us the advantage to learning. We may be at an age when our vitality allows us to lift heavy products. We may have the energy to do lots of physical work. Our needs change as we move throughout life and the desires to be involved with certain industries increase. Let these moments in time work for you and not against you. If money and time are on your side, traveling occupations may allow you to learn about different cultures or provide training for you that will be valuable later in life. Take advantage of these conditions to put you in a good position for advancement or success.
Vision sometimes becomes clearer as we assemble our thoughts and experiences.
Enjoy this week as you step forward, may it put you on the escalator of success.

How do you find your way to earning a living?
How do you manage the crisis moments in your life?
Just what method helps you find your way to different locations is different for every one of us. Do you use landmarks to find your way?
Vince Lombardi says, “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”
Linda takes us one step further and talks about finding your way in life and offers ideas on how to address some of our daily concerns. Taking care of ourselves is not only physical, but mental. We are called to protect ourselves just like a roof protects a home. We need to be the best person possible by taking time for our interests. Freeing time for yourself carries you forward and gets you to your goals. “Take the next step forward and put yourself on the escalator of success.”
