You’ve probably seen, or at least heard of, the show, Hoarders. It’s about people who have become so attached to their things that they can’t bear to let them go or throw them away. It gets so bad in many cases on the show that houses are unsafe to live in. Junk clutters the entire […]

Commitment is one of the scariest words in any language. It has so much meaning, possibility, opportunity and responsibility wrapped up in those three little syllables.

Progress Depends on Doing the Little Things Daily

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 13:41:05 +0000

As we work towards our Goals, it’s easy to get discouraged, because we don’t always see progress. We want a quick result or at least something we can see every time we look, but that’s not how we should measure progress all the time. Sometimes, our progress has to be measured in the daily actions […]

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 13:38:58 +0000

Each year on January 1st, a large segment of the population think they become super-achievers and Goal-Setters. They “set” New Year’s Resolutions, firmly (sort of) intending to change their lives.

One of the ways we motivate ourselves to achieve our Goals is to give ourselves rewards for Success along the way.
