Chooseday – Retrenchment
**** There are two seats available in the Perth Think and Grow Rich mastermind which starts tomorrow.
Visit www.evolvedynamic.com for more info. *******
In this week’s chooseday video I talk about retrenchment and job loss and what can be done if you know someone in this situation. If you have a business, I’m sure you will find it useful too.
According to Forbes, only 8% of people are successful with New Years resolutions.
Goodbye resolutions….
We are into the second month of the year and for 92% of the population, New Years resolutions are long forgotten! Where do you fit in?
Resolutions don’t work. Which is why there is such a low percentage who benefit from them.
Getting clear on our goals, and then having steps to follow that can get us to our goals, DOES work. But only if they are goals that excite and engage you.
How are your goals going? Do you have some exciting adventures lined up this year?
What about your business or career?
Do you have a coach or a mentor who will hold you accountable to your goals?
Accountability increases the odds of your success by 200%.
I would like to hear what your goals are this year. What goal is scary and exciting for you?

Happy Chooseday from India!
India is making a major impact in my life! I’m fortunate enough to be here at the Vibrant Gujarat event, with thousands of people, including 450 of us in the delegation from Australia.
It is an incredible experience as this event was truly world class, the calibre of speakers was phenomenal. Leaders from World Bank, MasterCard, Rio Tinto, several other companies and countries made it an enriching and enlightening experience.
Several things have been front of mind while visiting India.
1. The importance of accepting and being in awe of what is. The way things are, the richness and diversity of the people. Just like its important to have complete acceptance and awe of yourself and your skills and talents.
2. I have noticed the Indian culture is very respectful of all religions, cultures and beliefs. I think other countries can learn a lot from this. Individually, when we choose to see the person rather than the stereotype, we connect and find the commonalities rather than the differences.
3. Awesome attitudes exist towards the customer here. Yes, I’m well aware my experience may have been slightly skewed with my stay in luxury hotels. I’ve chosen to take these service levels with me and see how I can serve my coaching clients and audiences even better.
What do you choose to focus on today?
Have a great choose day!
With love and gratitude,
Jill

Chooseday Message for Parents
If you have children on school holidays, enjoy this inspirational message!
Am I crazy?
Am I crazy to agree to a new puppy in the house? We haven’t had a dog since we moved to Australia.
Her name is Pepper Hutchison. See how ultra-cute she is?
I’ve discovered through this process that puppy training is not what it used to be.
The old fashioned way was to use rolled up newspaper and reprimand it when it did something wrong.
The new way that I’ve learnt is to teach it words. So when it’s sitting, you say “sit”.
When it’s lying down we say “down”.
Each time she does the right action, we say the corresponding name. We don’t ask her to sit or anything else until she actually understands what the word is.
The theory is that in a few months, she should sit when asked, and lie down when we say down (I’ll let you know how that goes!)
When you give it a treat, move the treat from it’s nose over the back of it’s head, till it sits. then give it the treat and it learns to sit for treats.
The positive reinforcement is very important, and that is how they learn.
Now perhaps you knew all this long before I did.
I wasn’t really much of a dog person (preferring cats) so although I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I’ve never been the one to do the training.
My point is this: if positive reinforcement works so well with dogs, isn’t also logical that is works well with people too?
“Yes”, I hear you say, “Duh, obviously”
We all know this, and yet, how often do we use positive reinforcement to create the behaviours we wish to see in our own life from ourselves and from those around us?
How many times do we say ‘thank you’ when someone is doing what they are supposed to do? Do we take them for granted?
In business particularly, when things get a bit rushed, it’s easier to only comment when the wrong actions are being taken, rather than to notice the 90% of the time when the right actions are taken.
My challenge to you today:
1. Congratulate yourself for everything you do right today.
2. Notice and congratulate those around you when they do something right.
3. If you notice someone with an awesome attitude, comment on it with the #awesomeattitude tag on social media!
4. Let me know how you go. Add your comments below.
Have a great Chooseday,
Kind regards
Jill
PS: we still have a few places available at the next Think and Grow Rich mastermind starting in January.
Who, Me? Attitude?
Thank you to Bev Letton for inviting me to speak to the business owners of the Wanneroo Business Association. It was a real pleasure sharing my story of why I believe attitude is so vital in our success, happiness and especially business.
Nothing on earth can stop you from succeeding in business if you have the right attitude. No-one can help you if you have a negative attitude, unless you decide to change it.
I would love to speak at your next conference or management meeting.

As Zig Ziglar said “Motivation doesn’t last, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily”.
Feed your mind positive information if you want to stay positive. We can’t eat a huge dinner on Sunday and expect to stay fed till Friday if we don’t eat during the week. Inspiration really comes from within, when you are on a positive mind-food diet.
