Listen in as the host Kim Martin talks with Julie Gray about this weeks, weekly winning word, sharpen.

To sharpen means to improve. How are you improving your skills, tools, and resources? What you do on a regular basis is either sharpening you and making you stronger or dulling you and weakening your abilities. Your daily habits can become so ritual that you don’t even recognize them as bad or good, you just do them without even thinking. This is a serious issue that plagues our society because habits determine outcome. There are personal habits that will dull your skills and those that will sharpen your skills. Being intentional about what you choose to do will help you be your best self and increase your odds of achieving your goals and dreams. Take time to improve yourself!

I’ve Decided: Host Andy Thornton & guest Kim Martin – Heedful

Listen in as the host Andy Thornton talks with Kim Martin about this weeks, weekly winning word, heedful!

When you think of being heedful, what does it bring to your mind? You may think of being considerate, thoughtful, careful, or cautious. All of these are practices that would definitely describe being heedful. When you are giving your full attention to something, or being heedful, you are more focused and more capable of staying on track. Ideas and opportunities can come on very quickly, and you must pay close attention to recognize them. Heedful people are more successful than those who aren’t because of this. They are fully engaged allowing them to make the most of every experience and to be clear about what they should and shouldn’t do.
