Shine

In 6 days, I will be arriving in Las Vegas!! It just happens to be one of my favorite cities. (Here is fun post about my last trip to the Bright Lights!! I’m going to attend the SHINE Event with my friend Twila.

I registered just about a year ago to attend after following Ali Brown on social media. I am SO pumped that it’s almost here. We’ll spend a day and a half sightseeing and enjoying a bit warmer weather. Then we’ll be sponges for 3 intense days of sessions and guest speakers at the gorgeous Wynn hotel.

With a new bundle of joy on route, my goal is to learn new ways to leverage my time and work more efficiently in power sessions as a Mom!

When you stop learning, you stop living. I love to invest in myself and personally grow! As I mention in my book, Live an Amazing Life, there are many opportunities to develop your skills and work on yourself in your own backyard – that are free and reasonably priced.

Here is a glimpse at what Twila and I will be participating in:

Fast Track

January 19, 2010 By 2 Comments

SOOO…my “office cleaning” was delayed…

My hubby had picked up a flier for a free workshop. We thought it was Wednesday night – but it got moved to Monday evening – because the speaker, Darren Weeks, was asked to be an Olympic Torch carrier (in St. Albert, AB).

Cleaning my home office OR attending a personal development event with my husband – TOUGH DECISION!

On Monday night – John & I attended a free presentation about saving, investing, and making money called Fast Track to Cash Flow. Their website has tons of information. The no hassle presentation was based around Robert Kiyosaki theories – the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and more of our favorite books. My sister Rayel and her husband Craig, had attended the same session before and recommended.

We learned lots and it got us thinking outside the box.

I encourage you to invest in yourself – by attending events (free events like this one are really fabulous!) in your area that you can expand your knowledge.

We came home with more reading…remember I encourage, 10 pages a day!

Other books that we love and have benefited from – we’ve listed on my Resources page.

Happy Learning,
Robyn

10 pages a day

November 14, 2009 By 4 Comments

I recently had a friend call and tell me that her business wasn’t moving forward. She didn’t know why, blah blah blah… I was still listening actively – however I had enough “negative” energy within the first statement. I was biting my tongue.

I was thrilled when she gave me permission to talk and asked, “What are you doing different Robyn?”

I asked her one question. “What is the last book you read?”

She hesitated and responded, “…really sat down and read – something in high school.”

The ONLY piece of advice I suggested was to – get to a book store or library and find a new read ASAP. Whether it be inspirational, self-help or business book, anything that is going to move you out of your comfort zone. Put down the Shopaholic and Twilight series (there is a time and place for those awesome books – but that’s aside from a fabulous motivational book).

I knew that my friend needed to fill up her cup and learn.

There are lots of different theories of “how much” reading will make a difference, the best recipe I’ve heard is 10 pages a day.

That’s IT! My personal coach taught me to read / invest in myself 90 minutes a day. I’m a slow reader – but when I suggest 10 pages – that can be done in no time at all!

Read when you wake up laying in bed, taking a bath, eating breakfast, instead of watching TV, over your lunch break, having coffee, waiting on someone while sitting in your car!? Be creative.

Nightstand

(My current reads – Peaks & Valleys, by Spencer Johnson and Flouish! by Meredith Liepelt. Listening to the The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss in my car!)

We make time for ANYTHING that we want to. Don’t tell me you’re too busy. If you are, then you’re telling me you’re too busy to become a more amazing person!

I don’t always make time to read – so I enjoy alternate personal development. I listen to audio books – attend seminars, workshops, conferences – any opportunity to be in the presence of empowering, positive, uplifting people!

Your workplace, local chamber, societies, or community organizations may even have speakers present. Plug into your network – there are many free and cheap opportunities to personally grow!

Remember – 10 pages a day. Try it for 21 days – 3 weeks! Bet it will become a habit – and you’ll do it at least a couple days a week!
