Achieving the Greatness You Have Within

July 15, 2024 By Connie Ragen Green Leave a Comment

Achieving the Greatness You Have Within is a Worthy Goal As I am writing this it's Wednesday, and that means it is time for some "Wednesday Wisdom." I want to share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences with you in the areas of thought leadership, bestselling (and best earning!) authorship, and becoming a seven-figure a year online entrepreneur. Achieving the greatness you have within is a goal worth pursuing, in my experience. Yes, this is possible for you, no matter where you are right now … [Read more...]

My Life as Ongoing Story Ideas

July 8, 2024 By Connie Ragen Green Leave a Comment

My Life as Story Ideas

My Life, as Told in Story Ideas In the world of writing, more specifically scripts and screenplays, everyone knows that we don't share our story ideas. You cannot copyright your ideas or concepts, so by putting your story ideas online, you are vulnerable. Agents and editors don't steal stuff; it's other writers who are more likely to steal ideas. I do not advise posting fiction excerpts online just to see what happens. I've seen ideas get taken before, and I always advise writers on the safe … [Read more...]

Do for a Year What Others Won’t

Simplify to Go More Deeply - Do for a Year What Others Won't...

Are You Willing to Do for a Year What Others Won't? Early on in my journey as an online entrepreneur, I chose a motto that would resonate not only with me, but with people all over the world. It's "Do for a Year What Others Won't; Live, Forever the Way Others Can't." It was in 2008, just as I had reached six-figures a year in my online business and had begun my first mentoring program. Elyse was my age and we'd both been students at UCLA during the late 1970s. She was married and they had a … [Read more...]

Journaling - Are You Making Sense of Your Life Experience?

Navigating Your Next Chapter: Create a New Beginning by Redefining Your Purpose Have you ever wished that you could start over and give yourself a reset or a do-over with your life experience? You can! Navigating your next chapter is a way to redefine your purpose and live your best life, no matter where you find yourself right now.

Maximize Productivity and Reduce Stress

Productivity Enhanced: The Benefits of Digital Decluttering Do you remember life before the Internet, monitors, and displays relentlessly attacked your senses? For those of us who do, one of the biggest differences between then and now can be seen in our relationships. When fewer things were fighting for our attention, it was easier to maintain our focus on our relationships. I want you to think about productivity with digital decluttering. That doesn't happen as much these days. … [Read more...]

How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything

How You Do Anything is How You Do Everything

Are You Achieving the Level of Success You Want and Deserve? Early on in my journey toward a life of writing and entrepreneurship, I heard a saying that stuck with me... "How you do anything is how you do everything." This quote is attributed to the insightful thought leader and author Martha Beck. It made sense as soon as I heard it, yet it played over and over in my mind each time I thought about its meaning in the days that followed. Was it really true? Could my personality, traits, … [Read more...]

The Power of Saying ‘No’

June 3, 2024 By Connie Ragen Green Leave a Comment

The Power of Saying "No" How often do you say "No"? Not often enough, I'm guessing. The power of saying no is a force to be reckoned with. ‘No’ is naturally thought of as a negative word. We're taught from the time that we are young to avoid the word ‘no.’ We use the word to refuse things, turn down opportunities, and declare ourselves as unyielding and unmoving. In fact, we are often told not to use it. • ‘Yes’ is shown to us as being bold and energizing, making you open to … [Read more...]

How the Permanent Shelter Came About

May 27, 2024 By Connie Ragen Green Leave a Comment

Building a Permanent Shelter for our Unhoused... I'm involved in various community projects in both of the communities I live in here in California. Recently, it was a full-circle moment as I attended the ribbon-cutting for a new shelter for the unhoused. The story I'm sharing here is of how I first spoke up in 2006, back when I seldom spoke up about anything, while at a Board Meeting for Rotary being held at the home of two of the members, and how this moment lit the spark for an 18-year … [Read more...]

The Irresistible Promise of Inner Peace

May 20, 2024 By Connie Ragen Green 1 Comment

Simplify to Go More Deeply - Do for a Year What Others Won't...

Inner Peace... Can You Resist the Enticing Allure of Inner Peace? Once upon a time I chased the concept of achieving inner peace. It was this irresistible promise of inner peace that marked the beginning of my study of personal growth and self-improvement, and I continue on this journey to this day. Finding Inner Peace in a Chaotic World As reported by the Positive Psychology website and other respected sources in the fields of psychology and neuroscience, inner peace can be defined as … [Read more...]

The Miracle of One More Day

May 13, 2024 By Connie Ragen Green 1 Comment

Miracle of One More Day

The Miracle of One More Day To be able to say we've led a life "well-lived" there will be regret, loss, and hardships. But this does not mean that we won't have a joyous life experience and that everyone around us will be inspired by our resilience and mental toughness. At some point in my life, I began to think of the way that I was navigating each day as being the "miracle of one more day." My earliest recollection of this concept occurred when I was ten years old and my close friend died … [Read more...]
