  • #74 - 10 Traits of Highly Successful People and How You Can Implement Them into Your Life!

    26/10/2020 Duration: 43min

    Have you ever wondered what the difference is between those who are successful and those who aren't as successful?  This is something that's always made me curious since I was very young.  I've studied the habits of successful folks for a long time and today's show I will cover 10 of them (there are more, but, these will get you going in the right direction). Sometimes when we want to set big goals we need to make some big steps and some bold moves.  Today I cover 10 traits of highly successful people and how they stayed true to themselves and how they reached their goals.   Whether you decide to use all ten of them, or, maybe you just want to add a couple of them into your life, either way, you will see miraculous changes happen in your life and your business as soon as you begin implementing them into your daily life. Here's to much love and success for a fantastic rest of your year.  Remember, it's never too late to begin to live the life of your dreams and leave a trail blazin' behind ya, so, rock on

  • #73 Supplies to Help You Stay Organized & Get More Done!

    29/09/2020 Duration: 24min

    What's the first thing you hear when you ask someone how they're doing?  Do you get "I'm so busy", "I'm slammed at work", "It's been crazy?"  I used to say those phrases all the time until I heard Tony Robbins once say something like "those who say they're busy, may be just that, busy, but, are they being productive?" and it gave me another one of those great  ah-ha moments.  I decided right then and there that I would stop saying "I've been busy" and now I say "I've been so productive" and you know what happened?  You're correct, I became more productive. Try it out for one week and see how it goes.  What do you have to lose. You may be amazed at how it can change the productivity of your week, your month, and, your year.  So, today's episode is not only about how we should stop saying "we're busy", but, I will also share some of my favorite time management/organizing tools I have used in my office for over 25 years.  These simple,  yet effective tools and systems can help you save you hours in your day if

  • #72 Live Your Life In Overdrive

    20/09/2020 Duration: 11min

    Sometimes it's hard to push ourselves to being our most productive, successful and happy.  Yet, how many times a day do you think to self - "how am I ever going to get it all done?"  I think we all go through this.  We pile our plates up as high as we can on all the amazing things we're going to do, only to get to some or none of them done that day.   Then what happens?  We beat ourselves up and think we're not worthy of getting them in the first place.  Have you ever felt this way?   One of the things I've learned through studying the masters of time-management, productivity, and, self-motivation, is that the one thing they had in common was about "acting quickly".  Can you make a decision quickly?  Or, do you ponder on the thought about it and take so long to make a decision, the opportunity is gone?   One day back in the late 80's I had a chance to play drums on Joe Walsh's album.  I was working with Sony Music at the time and I met him and when he learned about me being a drummer, he asked me if I w

    23/07/2020 Duration: 11min

    As we go through one of the most stressful, chaotic times in our history, it's important that we try to stay  on track where our health is concerned.   I don't know about you, but, this is one area I've been having a difficult time.  One of the ways I like to exercise in the pool.  At first, the closed the pools at our complex for the first three months.  Then, they re-opened them with limited hours (8-5) all of which I would be working and unable to get there at those times.  Now, I'm just very anxious about getting into the pool with this virus around.   Are you feeling like you can't get your workout in they way you used to?  Do you feel like you're gaining weight because of it?  I do.  And, it's really bothering me.  So, this week I've made the decision that I will start dancing again. Join me August 8th for one of the best workouts you'll have had in decades.  Daybreaker is a dance group from around the globe.  I first saw them when I went to see Oprah's 2020 Vision Tour in Miami this past January and

  • #67 It's Time To Think About Your Next Chapter

    20/05/2020 Duration: 16min

    I'm sorry I have been MIA for the past several weeks.  I was finishing up the last touches of the book and I'm thrilled to say, it's finally done!!! Woot, woot, where's the champagne???

  • #66 Are You Getting What You Want?

    16/04/2020 Duration: 15min

    Greetings My Drumsters, I hope everyone is healthy and staying safe during these unknown and chaotic times. Today's episode is a quick but important one.  It's about getting yourself one step closer to reaching your goals. Do you ask for what you want?  Or, do you think that possibly the universe will secretly know and bring it to you?  Knowing what you want is the first step to getting it.  Sometimes we're so distracted that we forget we need to stop and listen to our internal knowings, figure out what exactly we need and then go after it. One of the best ways to getting what you want is to sit quietly where no one will distract you.  Have a  notebook and pen in hand so that you can write down the thoughts that come to mind.   If you ask yourself this question before you go to sleep each night, and, upon awakening, you may begin to see a similar thread.  Maybe they're all based upon the same thing, maybe not.  Either way, you will get more and more answers to your questions. Next, once you know what it

  • #65 Acknowledge Your Wins & Then Some!

    14/02/2020 Duration: 15min

    Everyone talks these days about the importance of goal setting.  Yes, of course, it's important, but, just as important is that we should also acknowledge them when they occur.  Writing them in a journal is an excellent way to do this.     A few years ago, I learned the importance of not only setting our goals but, also keeping a separate journal where you can actually acknowledge those achievements on the important things we set out to do for ourselves, whether it was a personal or for a business venture.  Do you keep an acknowledgment journal?  A place where you can capture all of those amazing things that happen to you along your journey?  Keeping a journal or notebook that is solely dedicated to this purpose is crucial because when you have those days you feel blue, you can pull it out and it will make you smile again. If you're already doing this, my hat's off to you, and if you aren't, then, its time to get started.  You've accomplished a lot of things in your time, now is the time to begin celebrati

  • #64 Do You Finish What You Start?

    05/02/2020 Duration: 10min

    Today's show is a reminder of the importance of finishing what you start. Do you have a plethora of projects sitting out there looking to be completed? Or, is there something that might've been very important to you that's fizzled it's lackluster and you tossed it aside like an old shoe? If that's the case, today's episode will help you get back on track.  Here's some #MondayMotivation to help inspire you to get those tasks completed and stay on point until you get to the finish line. Don't leave these important things to chance.  Get back to it, start your engines and get running.  And, don't stop until it's done!! You'll be happy you did, and, you'll want to keep on adding new items to your list that you can achieve.  Who knows where you'll end up.

    16/01/2020 Duration: 14min

    Happy New Year.  Can you believe it's 2020?  Sounds strange doesn't it?   Since it is a new year, I'm hoping you have all of your new year's resolutions in place.  Is playing your A-Game one of them?  If not, why not? Today's episode is a quick little reminder that in order for us to be our best and to have our best lives, we need to step up our game and put our A Game into action.  This may mean taking small extra steps that normally might not occur and becoming more cognizant of when you may need to step up your game and become more aware of when you can give a little bit more of your time, help, or whatever resource it might be. Showing up in a bigger way each day will give you more confidence and happiness in your life.  You can sleep well knowing you're doing the best job you can do every day. Let's make this year we play our A-Game and have a fun time playing it :). Rock On & Rock Out, Dawn-Marie XO P.S.

  • #60 Are You Passionate About Your Career or Are You Obsessed?

    05/12/2019 Duration: 06min

    Are you passionate about your purpose in life? Do you know what your purpose is? I recently read a book called Be Obsessed or Be Average by https://grantcardone.com/ (Grant Cardone) and I must say, everything he discusses in this book rang true to my belief system.  When you have a purpose, a passion, your life's ambition to do xyz, whatever that project or passion may be.  Do you believe  deep down in your heart of hearts that you were meant to do this thing?  Here are a couple of quick questions you can ask yourself about it to see whether or not you're obsessed about it:   Do you find it hard to tear yourself away from it when you're working on it?  Do you think about it every waking moment of your day or, is it just something you toy around with once in a while and don't think that much about it otherwise? Do you lay awake in bed thinking about how you're going to fuel your project? If you've answered "yes" to any of the above, then, congratulations, you're obsessed.  If you answered "no", then you
