Here we GO! Never underestimate or undervalue the power of surrounding yourself with whatever or whomever keeps you motivated and moving forward in your career. There is rarely a price too high to pay for that which propels you to greater heights. Four things you can implement into your life RIGHT NOW that can positively impact the 2nd half of 2013:

1. Do not keep in your circle or take to heart the venom of people who seem only to ask, "Well how did you do that?" before they say, "Congratulations."
2. Do not fill your mind with the skepticism of those who offer all the advice in the world about things they have NEVER done.
3. Separate yourself from those whose negative words seep into your consciousness and start coming out of your mouth as if they were your own.
4. Begin the process of recoding your DNA by stretching beyond your comfort zone until newly developed traits forged out of building the muscle of new habits begins to have a positive life changing affect on you and those around you.
