SETTING GOALS AND ACHIEVING SUCCESS

By Georgia Last Updated in Blogs on Feb 16, 2017

I have been a member of Michael Hyatt’s Platform University for several years now. For those who do not know about Michael, today he styles himself as a virtual mentor, whose mission is to help high achievers win at work and succeed at life. In his previous life, he was the Chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, the 7th largest trade book publishing company in the U.S. He is the author of a number of books, several of which landed on the New York Times bestseller list. Among his other talents, his blogging expertise and willingness to share puts him at the top of my “go to” list. In early January I began reading about another program of his titled 5 DAYS TO YOUR BEST YEAR EVER. His approach to goal setting incorporates the most reliable methods, including the SMART formula (specific, measurable, actionable, risky, and time-keyed). Then he.

Consistency in Today’s World?

By Georgia Last Updated in Blogs on Oct 11, 2016

Consistency can be defined as adherence to the same principles, course, etc. Why is this concept so hard for us to grasp, much less maintain? From my perspective, it involves a number of factors – age, attitude, persistence, self-discipline, responsibility, and lifestyle, to name a few. As with other things, it can lead to boredom – when practiced in the extreme. But, for now, let’s just assume we need more of it – not less. We are told it is a key tool in training children and animals – so they know what to expect, each and every time. That can lead to a sense of security, setting boundaries, and creating stability. Ok, I will say that in the 1950’s, consistency was practiced and approved generally in society, especially in America. Vector forward to 2016 and our life today – the changes in technology alone have created massive distractions and.

Perfection – A Two-Edged Sword!

By Georgia Last Updated in Blogs on Jun 25, 2015

Perfection – friend or enemy? On one hand, striving for improvement, to make something better, more skilled, more accurate, is worthwhile. On the other hand, striving for perfection can be crippling and defeating. For example, if you are in a profession that uses Malcolm Baldridge as the pinnacle of achievement, and you use it as a guideline to mark improvements in your work patterns and results, your striving for perfection can be the right course of action. If, however, you say that, after trying, you cannot achieve perfect results, and give up, you have allowed perfection to block constructive action. If you find yourself stuck and unable to move forward, try the following: Pick one thing that you find easy to improve. List three things you can do to move it forward, set a time to complete it, and move forward. This should improve your confidence in the ability to.

How to Maximize 24 Hours – The Paris Love Way

By Georgia Last Updated in Blogs on Jun 24, 2015

Paris Love, Amazon’s best-selling author, coach, speaker, and entrepreneur, has written a book that should be in your home library – dog-eared and highlighted! This 192-page book can easily be read in a few hours – the first time. She clearly understands the need for – and resistance to – our taking control of our time and organization. Using humor and insight, she guides us through five key areas of resistance, with simple, practical solutions to move us forward. What sets this book apart from many others on this topic (and I have read many!) is her ability to see the issues through our eyes, anticipating our fears with gentle humor. I have personally tested many of her practical suggestions and they quite simply WORK. Paris shows the reader that the desire for a rewarding life is truly achievable; we simply have to begin. Let me know what you think.

Beginners Guide to Affirmations

By Georgia Last Updated in Articles on May 26, 2014

In our world of information overload, we can easily overlook the practice of affirmations, a technique that can calm and center us in the middle of the most chaotic situations. I suspect affirmations have been used since the beginning of time, all over the world. It is no secret that many successful Olympic athletes, for example, practice affirmations as part of their preparation for events. In this article I will share some problems beginners face using this technique, common mistakes, and some steps to get started, quickly and easily. For a variety of reasons, adults can feel very uncomfortable trying something new – being a beginner. Typically fear is one of the major issues. We may feel uncomfortable sharing this with others – family, friends, and associates. For someone beginning to use affirmations, knowing what to do and how to do it play a part in our hesitation. We may.

50+ Healthy Lifestyles: 5 Barriers to Long-Term Success

By Georgia Last Updated in Blogs on Dec 3, 2013

I will share 5 barriers to healthy lifestyles for those ages 50+ that can inhibit personal success, and more importantly, what to do instead. Here are my top 5: Barrier 1: Not believing you can or should cook meals at home. This is a mindset issue, especially for those who spent years caring for others and preparing 2 to 3 meals every day. They express “burn out” and look for other options. They frequently watch the Food Channel, but rarely take the next step – you know the one where they actually get in the kitchen and use the utensils! Instead, eating out is the option of choice. Expense is only part of the issue; calories consumed in eating one meal out can exceed any reasonable amount for one full day. What to do instead. If you are eating out more than three times a week, develop a new habit.

New Entrepreneurs

By Georgia Last Updated in Articles on Sep 27, 2013

Many entrepreneurs share common histories of their first year in business, noting their mistakes at the beginning of the business ventures and the lessons they learned – the hard way. 3 Things to Avoid Kathy, a new entrepreneur, shared that her dream was to open a crafts store in her small town. She had graduated from a liberal arts college and wanted to build a business around her artistic talents. She shared her story, noting her mistakes and what she could and should have done to begin her business differently. No money. Kathy had a small savings account, no retirement funds, and no collateral for a possible bank loan. She did not have a financial statement of any kind. No appropriate work space. Kathy began working out of a corner of her garage, which was neither heated nor cooled. No clients. Kathy did not have a social media presence, was.

Defeat the Everyone Else Comes First Syndrone

By Georgia Last Updated in Articles on Sep 20, 2013

Reflect, for a moment, on something you have wanted to do for yourself and let fear get in the way of a positive outcome – one where you chose to let fear get in your way. The following examples illustrate the levels of fear and steps you can take to overcome them. Picture the following scenes: Mild “Everyone Else Comes First” Syndrome You have found an online painting course you would love to take, but that’s when the kids play soccer. A “but” statement is the most frequent first response. What to Do: Because you are really interested in this course, you begin to explore alternatives and ask questions. Is the course taped or on video? Are there makeup sessions? Can I carpool for soccer and have my spouse rotate times with me? Is the course repeated at a time when school sports are not being played? The point is.

Personal Achievement: The 3 Biggest Barriers to Accomplishment

By Georgia Last Updated in Blogs on Sep 19, 2013

Personal achievement is challenging for many adults, especially those who want to move forward. When Mama is not there to nudge, snap and prod us into doing things, as adults, we need to recognize our barriers and get the 800-pound gorilla out of the room. I would like to share with you 3 of the biggest barriers to achievement. These are procrastination, lack of focus and lack of consistency. What do you think?

Initiative

By Georgia Last Updated in Blogs on Sep 1, 2013

Initiative is a word typically used to describe a positive event. As we reach adulthood, we have dreams of how we may shape our future. Unfortunately, too many people love to pour cold water on our dreams, talking about all of the reasons why our ideas will not work. There are three steps we can use to take ownership of initiative, in spite of the naysayers. STEP 1: Recognize it! Do we know initiative when we see it? Let’s look at the following examples: When a child builds a sand castle on his own for the very first time, how do we respond? Do we giggle because it is lopsided, or mention all the ways it could have been built better? Or do we take pictures and praise the child for using his imagination in building something all alone? When an employee cleans up a spill in the office, which.

Georgia is the type of person you definitely want in your corner. She has great instincts and wisdom and puts it to use with skill and finesse. I may not always WANT to talk to her but I have learned I should wisely embrace the opportunity. “Nothing changes if nothing changes”! Georgia is adept at getting me to examine where I need to grow – I may not want to face it at the time and I often find myself asking how did she figure that out. If you want to grow beyond your own “perceived limitations”‘ talk with Georgia and you’ll find what is most important to you and the power and ability to carry it out.

I met Georgia Day, President of Kamama Consultancy, after having observed the results of her work with several other people. Lacking growth opportunities in my previous position, I had decided that now was the perfect time to update my career portfolio and create a resume which would help me transition into a new industry; I knew that Georgia was the perfect person for the job. She clearly explained the process, time frame and anticipated results. At the end of the project, I had a professional biographical sketch, qualitative resume, and direction for my next steps.

I found Georgia to be an effective listener, positive, and confident in my ability to succeed. She is ethical, committed, creative, empowering, and totally focused on her clients’ success. I now have a new job, more aligned with where I would like my career to be and I highly recommend her.

She is very responsive and someone that I count on for advice and suggestions. I have found none better.

Georgia Day is a consummate professional with many areas of expertise. From job development, personal skills development, resumes building, speaking, mentoring/coaching and writing, she does it all and to such a level she is a highly sought leader in many fields. Her integrity is her calling card: If Georgia commits to a project, it will be completed on or before the deadline. The finished product will always exceed the team’s expectations. As a strong leader, she often trains successors while continuously enhancing her skill sets. Her big-hearted integrity is beyond reproach and I am proud to call her my friend and business associate.
