44 Inspiring Quotes to Fuel Your Abundance and Growth

Growing a business or succeeding at anything requires a delicate balancing act between taking action, thinking and planning, and practicing work/life balance. Your happiness and self-care count, too.  Through almost two decades of coaching people, I have found that people who take care of themselves by practicing daily success rituals right away, early in the day, achieve more of the results they seek than those who just take massive action.

All parts of your life on your path to success count. I have also found, through studying happiness for over twenty years, that the most important success practice is to be happy. This happiness isn’t the kind we feel at a rock concert or on vacation. Happiness is a daily experience where you focus on the good, and when facing “the bad,” you move to solutions thinking instead of wallowing in the problem.

You can run into limiting beliefs and blocks even when focusing on your mindset. When this happens, recognize it. Often, when people run into a block, they get stuck or give up. There are well-documented major blocks that keep your growth stuck. My articles Three Big Blocks to Your Success and How to Overcome These Mindset Blocks will help you get unstuck and move you toward the results that you want.

I created some Mindset Shifting Audios that you can grab free here.
