Is this the best time to buy a new car? Get some new car buying advice from an ex-car salesman!

I just bought a brand new Nissan Murano and I just love it! But before I made that purchase I made a small investment that turned out to be worth every penny because it saved me much more when it came down to negotiating the sale on my new car. I found out that car dealers can be pretty intimidating right from the start so I went back to my house and started doing my search on the internet so that I could decide what kind, where to buy it, when to buy it and who I was going to buy my new car from right from the comfort of my home instead of browsing dealerships. That's when I ran across this guy that was an ex-car salesman and that's where I got the best new car buying advice I could find on or off of the internet. I learned a lot about when the best time of the year, month, and even week is to buy a new car as well as tips on selling my current car, financing my new car, how to save on accessories, documentation fees, warranties and lot more!

I know that there are a lot of people out there right now that are trying to decide whether to make that purchase or not. With the economy the way it is and people getting laid off left and right you really need to make sure your job is secure but with that said this is probably the best time to buy a new car. In my search I found that supply is high and demand is low so car dealers are anxious to make the sale. You just have to be careful and don't fall into any of their negotiating traps. If you are really serious about buying a new car check out this article to get some more new car buying tips!

Getting Ready For The Unstoppable Women Challenge

When you accept and complete the Unstoppable Women Challenge, you are building a foundation that will impact virtually every area of your life. If you can make one change or create a single result in just 30 days do you think that in the future you could build on that success and do it again? Sure you can, so let's get started.


Just like anything else in life that is worthwhile, it will require a bit of preparation to get started on your Unstoppable Women Challenge.


The first step is to identify a goal that will excite and inspire you. We will walk through a process to help you do that. Don't worry, it's not hard and is even kind of fun! Then over the next few days we will break down your goal into a series of daily, manageable steps that will make the changes you will be making seem natural and energizing.


The Unstoppable Women Challenge can be used for any goal or dream whether it be big or small. Some goals or dreams such as getting your diploma or starting a business can not be achieved in just 30 days, although you can make significant progress that propels you forward, putting you on the path to success!


The Unstoppable Women Challenge can be used as a model to achieve any goal or dream - personal or professional - whether it takes one day, one year, or ten years to achieve it. It works as a personal catalyst to jumpstart you into action. If your goal will take longer than 30 days then once you've completed your first 30 day challenge redefine your goal for the next 30 days and continue on your journey.


To get started you will need to complete the following four steps:


1. Identify what you want to achieve.
2. Convert your breakthrough goal into a 30 day goal.
3. Learn how to plan your daily "one step."
4. Identify a way to help another women along the way.


To identify your breakthrough goal, you need to do a reality check. To help you identify what you really want, you need to assess your life as it is today. What's working and what's not working in your life. There are 8 key areas that you will want to access and rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 5.



1. Physical - appearance, overall health, fitness level, healthy diet, regular exercise, optimal weight, flexibility, strenth training, energy to do what needs to be done.

4. Personal - Have fun in your life, take great vacations, travel to places you want to go, take time for yourself, live in a nurturing environment, love where you live.

5. Relationships - with your famly, spouse, children, parents, siblings, romance, great friendships, mentors to learn from, spend your time with people you love and care about.

6. Mental/Emotional - Personally growing and learning, not easily angered, happy, whole and complete, fear does not control my life, no unhealthy addictions, live with gratitude, feel loved and supported, practice forgiveness.

7. Spiritual - Actively growing spiritually, regularly pray/meditate, involved in a spiritual community, expanding faith, regularly express love to others, live in peace.

This may sound like a bunch of hype but it's not. It's a simple process of creating a series of unstoppable moments that are single steps forward that will ultimately result in personal transformation.


I know that a lot of women have tried to set goals in the past and failed miserably. They become too busy, overwhelmed or just give up too quickly.


The reason why most people are unable to sustain any real change is because we get discouraged and give up. We start blaming ourselves and then we feel bad for giving up. What we're going to do here is try a new approach. You see, these ideas will not require you to make a drastic change in your daily life, so it will stop the cycle of giving up. We will create lasting change one step at a time. The first step is to focus on just one area of your life and take a single step at a time in reaching your goal in that area.


What does it mean to be an Unstoppable Woman?


It means finding the courage to make a change or achieve a goal in your life that may or may not resemble your present circumstances. Regardless of your current situation, you don't allow fear, self-doubt or someone else to stop you and you consistently take one stop forward refusing to give up until you achieve your goal.


It doesn't require anything superhuman to be an unstoppable woman. It just reqauires you to take one step forward after another. When these steps are strung together you will have a serious of actions that place you closer to your goal.


Women create countless unstoppable moments in their lives day by day. Women always seems to be able to pull it all together when the going gets tough. Despite our busy lives and numerous responsibilities at home and work, we can always find the time to help a friend or family member in need. We are masters at finding ways to get things done, but now it's time to devote some of that energy into making positive change in our own lives.

This is a 30 day process that works for every women whether you're 20 or 70 years old. It takes into account our busy schedules and responsibilities yet still provides a way to achieve amazing breakthrough changes one step at a time. I will touch on each step in my blog.

21 Days to Develop a Habit to Success!

This evening I've been thinking about my goals and how best to achieve them. Over the last month I'm sure you've all made new years resolutions, new goals and have had new dreams. When you lay in bed at night what dreams go through your mind? How many of you have stopped yourself from meeting your goals or going for your dreams because of the fear that overwhelms you? Fear. We all are fearful of something, but have you ever let fear hold you back from attempting to accomplish your goals and dreams? Many people never try to accomplish anything because of fear of failure. In fact, 90% of the people reading this have done just that.

Do all of you understand that it takes 21 days to create a habit? Not a day or a week, not the year that everyone tries to achieve that new years resolution, 21 days. If you make a plan of action and follow your plan for 21 days with tireless effort your life will start to become what you deserve and you will have developed a habit to success!

Jeffrey Combs quotes in one of his tapes on "The 21 Laws of Success", Think like a millionaire before you become one. Think big, but you have to act big." If you work in Network or Direct Marketing you have to love what you do!

These are just a few of Jeffrey Combs Laws of Success. To get the full benefit of his training material, you should definately get the whole series.

1. Successful People Change the Way They Think! This goes back to the habits of surrounding yourself with positive mind-affirming thoughts. Read a book for 20 minutes or listen to a tape on positive thinking. This helps you and develops those changing habits.

2. Successful People Develop Their Self Esteem or Confidence. How do you feel about yourself? Would you hire yourself? Think about that. . . If you think you wouldn't, do something to change that!

3. Successful People Let Go of Their Past! 3 How can your present be any good if you're still living with past actions, or past circumstances. You can set dreams and goals for the future, but you can't achieve them if you're still living in the past. Can you honestly say that you live in the present? Many people are so used to living with past pain or mediocracy or fear that they get stuck in the past and not the present. That WILL NOT allow you to move forward! Forgive yourself, forgive others. You will be amazed at how this helps your present which helps your future.

4. Successfull People Have a Dream With A Clear Vision of Their Future. By living in the present, you can have a clear vision of your future so you can tell where you are going. Dream, we all need to dream! Take a picture of yourself in this vision and treat yourself as if you've already reached those goals! Know your WHY! Work towards that why and your vision.

5. Successful People Have a Game Plan/A Plan of Action. The one thing you have to realize though is that you have to act on your plan. No inconsistency! If you say you are going to work 6 hours a day, work 6 hours a day! If you're going to work 2 hours a day, great! But work those 2 hours a day! So many people have a goal, but then they just don't act on it and they let life get in the way. Are you following life's plan or your own?

6. Successful People Have Clear, Defined and Reachable Goals. It's ok to think big, but you also have to act big! What amount of income do you want and by when? You might not even be able to picture meeting this goal, but if you have that vision in your mind, your vision will start to become a reality.

7. Successful People Realize That Life Is a Numbers Game. You need to 'expose' your enterprise. You need to get in front of people and you need to get comfortable with the word NO or with rejection. The only thing is that rejection is not personal. Out of those No's will eventually come yes's. If you work your business part-time you need to expose your business to 10 to 20 people in a week and you will get some yes's! If your full time, you need to expose your business to 30 to 50 people a week. You need to create a lot of numbers to create a lot of results.

8. Successful People Understand the 80/20 Principle. Have you ever attached yourself emotionally to people that you work with? The people you spend your time chasing or the ones that you spend the most time with emotionally are the ones that work the least. The ones you spend the least amount of time with work the most, they are going to do it if you're there or not. There is a great book called the 80/20 Principle. You will see that the ones that you spend 80% of your time produce only 20%, and the ones you spend 20% of your time are the ones that produce 80% of your business. You need to work smart and work with those 20% that are doing 80% of the work.

9. Successful People Get Results, Production Rather Than Politics. You can either do the work that produces results or you can talk to 10 to 20 people about how "something' isn't working for you and "how you're doing the business but it's just not working for you'. Then instead of producing anything, you are stopping yourself with lack of productivity because you are wrapped up in politics, or complaining about how this is difficult or you are doing it wrong.

10. Succesful People Are Focused! They Don't Major In Minor Things. How many of you react to thing that happen in your life. An example is your credit card and the charges on it. You can spend 2 hourse arguing the charges instead of spending more time propsecting. How many of you react instead act? You need to be solution-oriented, not problem-oriented. Don't let problems sap your energy. Take yourself out of that and don't let thieves take your goals and dreams away from you by draining your energy. Let opportunities present themselves, instead of reacting to circumstances.

These are just 10 of the 21 Laws of Success! As this week progresses, put these first 10 laws into play. Make your life about WIN/WIN! Take these laws and start creating the next 21 days and setting these laws into your life to creat a habit. I plan on doing the same this week and I'll let you kow how it goes for me. Feel free to post how it goes for you. To your success!
