It wasn’t that long ago that the Feds bailed out Bear Stearns and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. There were a lot of people "downsized" during that fiasco.

I’ve said it before….. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to make a living while I travel! The only thing better is spending time with family, which I did this past weekend.
My parents, and my two brothers and their wife’s and I traveled to an area called Graeagle, California, for a reunion with friends and families we grew up with. There were about 80-90 people there in total over the 3 days. Many of these folks my brothers and I haven’t seen in 30 years. A dear family friend hosted the event at their new "little log cabin". The picture below doesn’t do it justice as that’s only half of the house in the picture! We all rented places nearby and came there for the social gatherings. We had a blast seeing everyone!
We did sneak away on Saturday afternoon for a quiet picnic away from the group. We were at lower Sardine Lake at the base of the Butte mountain range….. breathtaking.
Here we are again, a little more cleaned up on Saturday evening … while my website was still driving traffic and working for me! Life is good!

Until next time, J.

I need to call Bill to set up our golf game for next week.
I need to add to my blog so my readers will be updated on my latest insights into Obama’s campaign.
I need to go online and pick out a gift for Aunt Sarah’s birthday.
I really need to think about where I’m going for lunch and what I’m going to eat.
Do any of the above sound familiar? Of course they do!
I call this "ID Syndrome " - the disease of Internal Distraction . And unless you learn how to defeat this affliction, you won’t get anywhere at work or in life.
We all have personal thoughts like these while we are working. But there’s a big difference between how high achievers deal with them and how people who never do better than the status quo deal with them. You see, high achievers recognize that these thoughts are WANTS - not NEEDS - that should be dealt with outside of the working day.
Here’s a little example of just how problematic internal distractions can become…
