Use All Resources Around You: The Second Success Principle - It's Worth Your Wage.

Unleash Your Hidden Advantage: Mastering the Art of Resource Utilization

In this post, we delve into the second success principle: maximizing the resources around you.

We often overlook readily available tools that can be instrumental in our journey. Take this blog for instance! When I embarked on writing my book, I utilized the most accessible resources at my disposal: my Chromebook, Google Docs, and Blogger. (Pro tip: I manage my monthly budgets with Google Sheets – all completely free!)

Job Seekers: Public Libraries Are Your Ally

Facing a setback like a job loss? Your most valuable resource could be a computer, laptop, or smartphone. Most public libraries offer technology centers with computers and printers at your disposal. This readily available resource can be a game-changer in your job search – and it's absolutely free!

Naturally, crafting a compelling resume and having it readily available on online platforms like Indeed, CareerBuilder, or Monster is crucial. However, remember, you are your greatest advocate! Seek out guidance for resume writing, but trust your instincts and highlight your strengths.

Entrepreneurs: Unleash Your Inner Powerhouse

Starting a business or side hustle? Your greatest assets are often right under your nose – your mind and your hands! There's no cost associated with these powerful tools. Perhaps you have a knack for repairs or possess a styling kit that can launch a mobile hairdressing service. Maybe your green thumb is the perfect starting point for a plant-care business. Explore your surroundings and unleash the resources readily available within your home. Remember, start inward, then expand outward!

Monetize Your Assets: Your Car Can Be Your Cash Cow

Seeking additional income? Your car could be the key! Consider platforms like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, or other delivery services that capitalize on your vehicle.

Pro Tip: Create a comprehensive list of resources you need and already possess.

Harnessing the Power of Your Network

Whether you're facing job loss, divorce, or financial challenges, harness the power of your network! Explore the resources around you that can empower your next steps. Looking to advertise yourself or your business? Start simple! Consider business cards, yard signs, or even a friendly handshake and smile. Word-of-mouth remains a powerful marketing tool.

The Ultimate Resource: Your Mind

We've explored various resources like computers, tools, and transportation. However, the most valuable asset lies within you: your mind! It's a limitless resource that requires no investment.

By strategically utilizing the resources around you, you can unlock new possibilities and pave the path to success. Remember, even the smallest steps can lead to significant strides!

I've Seen Wonders: Reflections on Life's Moments

#42 1/22/2025 I've Seen Wonders: Reflections on Life's Moments Introduction: Life is a tapestry woven with experiences, each moment a thread that adds depth and color. Recently, I found myself reflecting on the extraordinary and everyday sights that have shaped my journey. Inspired by a rare snowfall in Louisiana, I wrote a poem titled "I've Seen," capturing snapshots of my life. In this blog, I break down each part of the poem, sharing the stories and emotions behind these moments. I've Seen I've seen volcanoes at rest, Their mighty peaks in calmest jest, From the Philippines to Italy, Their silent strength humbling me. I've seen dolphins on a Guam sunset, swim in sync, A fleeting dance at twilight's brink. I've seen the wintry days of Delaware accumulate ice and snow, A frozen world where whispers grow. I've seen the Statue of Liberty with her torch held high, A beacon of hope against the sky. I've seen the Vietnam Wall, so solemn and...

From Fear to Freedom: How Talking to Your Fears Can Change Your Life

  #43 - 2/16/2025 From Fear to Freedom: How Talking to Your Fears Can Change Your Life Several years ago, I discovered that a simple but intense fear would overtake me every time I was making a left turn or driving along a two-lane highway. It wasn’t just any fear—it was the fear of encountering a Semi 18-wheeler coming from the opposite direction. It’s a fear that still lingers today, though I’ve found a way to manage it, and in doing so, I’ve transformed my relationship with fear in general. At first, it seemed completely irrational. Why should the presence of an 18-wheeler, a vehicle designed for long-haul travel, trigger a visceral reaction of anxiety in me? After all, I knew I was a capable driver, and the truck was just a vehicle like mine—only much larger. But no amount of logic could stop my body’s automatic response. The tightening chest, the rush of adrenaline, and the internal voice telling me to be careful—every time, without fail. But then I was given a tip that would ...
