NO Looking Back

"You can't drive forward looking through the rear view mirror; focus on where you are going, not where you have been" Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

When you are focused on accomplishing a goal it is easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day work. When challenges arise you want to retrace your steps and begin to calculate risk. Pursuing a goal is like comepting in track and field. Looking back is not effective.

In track and field while running when you look backwards it affects your time. In sprinting events each time you look behind, you will lose two steps. This is crucial as it can mean the difference in winning and losing a race.

As you focus on achieving success, you do not have time to keep looking backwards. You need to focus on where you are going and not on where you have been. It takes discipline, mental toughness and daily focus to move forward no matter what is going on around you.

Keeping your eyes set on your destination will ensure that you win!

Your POWER Box

"Your success is derived from your ability to draw from your POWER" Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

Have you ever been at home and the lights go out in one room? You instantly go to the circuit breaker box and you flip the circuit back to the on position. You perform this task without even thinking about it, in fact it is second nature for you.

Did you know that you also have an internal POWER box? When one area of your life is not fully charged you need to go to your POWER box and flip the switch. Your life is just like the circuit breaker box in your home. When one area is out of POWER turn the POWER back on immediately, make it second nature.

Don't let a POWER outage stop you from achieving your dreams.

The POWER of too small

"No one has ever made it big, playing it small." Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

Growing up it seemed like overnight you had outgrown your favorite clothes or your favorite shoes. You put them on and they did not fit. You really wanted them to fit because you enjoyed them so much. You always recieved compliments when you had them on. Your parents told you to take them off because they were too small. You resisted and they insisted and eventually they won. They even supported you by going out and purchasing a new clothes or new shoes. Ensuring that the new items fit who you were becoming.


Today we often find ourselves operating in small circles. We have freinds, careers, and lives that are too small yet we continue to try and fit in with them. As adults we do not have our parents around telling us that we look ridiculous trying to fit into this small environment. We have to identify it on our own. You know it is too small when you find that you have to be someone else in order to operate in the group. If you have to become small to fit in it is time to transition.

Begin to use your POWER and free yourself from being too small, just like with your clothes you need bigger friends, a bigger career and a bigger life. No one has ever achieved success being too small.

Make it a POWERFUL day!

The POWER of Change

"Our inability to change, impacts our ability to succeed!" Dr. Donna Thomas-Rodgers

The truth is that most people do not like change. They resist it as if it were the flu. But the reality is that in order to achieve success in your life you will need to change. You may need to change your circle, your career, your friends, your mindset, your life.


You came here with a talent and you are harming yourself and others by not using it. Your resistance to change is stopping your progress. The best method to approach change is to embrace it. STOP being fearful of it and know that through change, growth and success are on the other side.

Use your POWER today and begin your change process TODAY!

It is POWERFUL Being YOU!

Have you ever found yourself at an event or doing an activity that you know is not apart of who you are? The question is, why did you participate? Why did you say YES? Did you want to be accepted? Did you think that it would be fun?


Today and going forward only go to events, and particpate in activities that enhance who you are. It is okay to stand alone in your own POWER. When you operate in you highest level consistently, business opportunities, friends and family will naturally be drawn to you.

Make it a POWERFUL day!

The Friday POWER Focus

Today is Friday and most people are ready to relax, rest and have a good time. It is easy to lose focus. What if Friday were the first day of the week instead of the last. What would you do and how would you act.


The Greats like Oprah, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, The Donald, Denzel, Kobe, John Wooden, Michael Jordan, Chopin, Larry Bird, and Michael Phelps all have worked, overtime, weekends and holidays to achieve success.

Use your POWER everyday continually to accomplish your goals. FriDAY is exactly that another DAY. Do not lose the momentum that you have built up all week, leverage it to become great. Look at Friday as another 24 hours to excel.

Make it a POWERFUL Day!

STOP Complaining

It is so easy to complain. You simply open up your mouth and begin to speak. You get to make excuses for all of the reasons why you CAN'T. I just want to tell you two words about complaining, SHUT UP!

STOP sending out invitations to your pitty party and getting upset when no one shows up. If you don't like what is going on in your life then change it. Begin today, by making yourself a promise that you will stop being a victim and become a victor. Give the positive people in your life permission to call you on it everytime you begin to drive down Complaining Avenue. It will ensure that you stop this awful, negative, self-destructive habit.

Your life, your career and your situation will only change when you start to feel, act, and think like a winner.

STOP Complaining and START Claiming.

Make it a POWERFUL day!

The Power of More or Less

Often times the belief is that more is better. If you have more debt are your finances better? If you have more friends with more drama, do you feel better? If you have more alocholic drinks, is your liver happy? If you are a diabetic and you continue to eat the wrong foods, is your body healthy.


The POWER to purchase less, have quality relationships, and take care of your body inside and out is so much more effective.

The next time you are having "More" ask yourself is this helping me or hurting me.

Have a POWERFUL day!
