| | Recent Happenings We had such a good time, this past week at the James Malinchak Big Money Speaker's Bootcamp in Los Angeles. I was joined by Carol Lumsden, RN, CHC, CLNC, Sabrina Garcia, RN, MSN, Ed. CNS, Lorie Brown, RN, MN, JD and Kathy Allan, RN, HN-BC, HTCP-I. We expanded our network and learned from best; for example, Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles was on the stage with James for 90 minutes! One of the reasons I keep returning to this event is because of the star power that James has as friends! This year I was thrilled to meet Brian Tracy. His book, Maximum Achievement, changed my life in the 90’s and meeting him was on my bucket list. Thank you James! Check out some of the pictures in the spotlight section below.

| Telecommuting and working remotely was once reserved for trendy Silicon Valley based startups, but these days it’s more of a common occurrence. In fact, 37 percent of Americans worked from home last year.
It has benefits both sides love -- the company gets to reduce operating costs and the employee eliminates long commutes, providing them with more personal and family time. The internet is entirely responsible for how businesses operate these days. Whether you operate a large company with hundreds of employees, or you are a solopreneur building a small team, you can leverage online tools and software to run your business from anywhere in the world. There are no geographical limitations, provided you have an internet connection.

We all have 24 hours in the day, but the difference between mediocrity and massive success lies in how we use those hours. We asked 11 entrepreneurs who have achieved massive results in their lives to share their best life hacks to help you crush your goals faster, easier and better.
1. Hack people.
Everybody thinks that scale is technology. But scale also comes in people; it’s a version that has been tried and true long before the internet came along. Most of us are grossly underestimating the impact of another human being on what they’re trying to accomplish and what you can be doing for them. We’re all looking for the algorithm and big data and the tech and the app that’s going to scale it. There’s nothing that scales the tried and true. |

Geniuses throughout the ages have been found to possess three special characteristics.
Characteristic #1: They Have Developed Their Ability to Concentrate
First, all geniuses seem to have developed the ability to concentrate single mindedly on one question, problem or goal at a time, and to exclude all other diversions or distractions.
The more intensely you concentrate your thoughts and attention, and the more intensely you are emotionally involved with a problem or goal, the more likely it is that your mind will respond with the kind of creative ideas that you need. And the good news is that concentration comes from practicing the process of concentrating whenever you have something you want to accomplish.
