Ford Saeks here coming to you from the offices of Prime Concepts Group with some Superpower thoughts… Do you take a shower or bath everyday? Most likely you do… and why? If you took a shower today, then you’re clean… right? But by the next day, you may be a bit dirty and need to shower again…
Ford Saeks here coming to you from the offices of Prime Concepts Group with some more Superpower thoughts. Do you sometimes wonder why other people achieve monumental success… but you’re still struggling to get what you want in life?
If so, you’re definitely not alone.
Some of it may boil down to the differences between a can-do and a can’t-do attitude, but an even larger factor could be the strategy you are using to get where you want to go!
In my experiences speaking, training and consulting with hundreds of organizations around the globe, dealing with all types of people, I constantly run across situations where people are just making things too hard and too complicated! And it makes me laugh just to think back on all of the times in my own life and career where I made things too complicated or the answers to problems were actually right in front of me. But because I felt it just couldn’t be THAT easy, it wasn’t.
Now I know… you have to have processes and procedures, and I’m a big fan of those that improve productivity and performance to get better results, but you have to ask yourself in every situation, “Am I making things too difficult?”
If the answer is yes, it’s time to reevaluate.
So what can you do now to start making life easier?
Start by writing down three things in your life that you think are too complicated. And then list out each step you’ll have to go through to complete each of them.
After your list is done, put it down and come back to it later. Whether it’s an hour later, 8 hours later, or two days, it doesn’t matter, the key is to put a fresh set of eyes on your list.
But, when you do come back, take a hard look at every step and decide if you REALLY need all of them. If you don’t need them, then get rid of them!
As you get used to this process, you’ll start to train your mind to think in terms of simple and will start to eliminate unnecessary steps in everything you do, making life easier! Just remember, everything doesn’t have to be complicated, so don’t let it be.

At the beginning of last year, we had our lead web developer, Paul, write a blog post about being safe online in 2012. Well, we can’t believe it, but it’s that time of year again!
With identity theft currently ranked as the fastest growing crime in the United States and more and more people shopping and paying bills online, it’s more important than ever to be safe on the Internet.
Take a good look at your marketing materials and website. Does the language used sound formal, manufactured or “sales-y”? If you answered “yes,” you’re far from alone, but you need to hear this: high-pressure sales messages and corporate-speak are out! Straight talk and human language are in.
In today’s marketplace, the consumer base is dominated with Generation X-ers and Y-ers. They don’t want to spend time interpreting complicated, obscure messages. They want honesty, authenticity and transparency.
