I think that, even with all of the above things, if we are unbalanced in some other way, like overly stressed about other matters or immersed into something in our personal lives, those things can overshadow being "in the mood" for anything else. ~ Kristi Kikolani | Poetry, Photographys last blog post..My Flickr Meme - Creating A Mosaic

Christa – I’m pleased that you’ve identified results as the ingredient you need most to add. Look for the smaller completed steps and be sure to pat yourself on the back. Like most of us, you probably have more results than you think you do.

Chris – Well put! Welcome and enjoy creating the good feelings. Inspiration is so much more fun that obligation!

You just gave me a wonderful insight with this post. People are inspired to work for their goals or projects a great deal if they have good feelings and motivation within them. This good feeling will help create clarity in mind to determine what they really need to do achieve for a certain time or period.

And that focus usually brings good results!

Results. Am I getting what I want? I’ve been asking myself that question a lot lately and this post really made me stop to think about it.

Results don’t always happen over night. Building a business, brand and name recognition takes time.

I know what I know. I know I don’t know a lot. How to bridge that gap in the great unknown.

Raphnix – Yep we are at choice to decide on the mood that will serve us and others well. Welcome. We hope to see you commenting here again.

J. D. – That is cool. I used to look at those studies all the time when I did more corporate work. Thanks for recognizing the link.

Evelyn – I’m so glad that you’ve gotten the recognition you wanted at the right time. No one can serve just the way you do and I’m sure you’ve touched many more than one.

Laurie – Sounds like you’re right on top of that one. Partnership agreements need to be very clear, spelled out in detail and written so that you do not have to rely on selective memory.

The one I am tackling right now is accountability. Having a business partner who is a 50 % partner, I am now in the place where we have to figure out how to hold each other and ourselves accountable in a way that is productive and not destructive. We have to be able to discuss things. For example an exit strategy. We need to discuss this. We need to have this well established in the event of something unforeseen happening. It is not a sign that I feel that we won’t make it by setting that up, it is a sign of a healthy business. So we are now at the point of establishing ways to hold ourselves and each other accountable without it having to devalue or question one’s expertise. We need to have the “come to Jesus” conversation (for us both) as to what business practises are going to be the basis for our way of operating.

Right at the beginning of this year, while I was doing some kind of review, I was wondering whether I should carry on with my site. A good friend told me that if it even helped one life, I would have succeeded. Then, I started receiving testimonials in my inbox.
