I have been watching ” The Apprentice ” again this season and have watched each season, except for the very first two. Monday (tomorrow night) , June 5th is Donald Trump ’s “THE APPRENTICE” SEASON FINALE and it will be the most star-studded Apprentice ever with Jason Priestly, Jamie Pressly, Michael J. Fox, Denis Leary, the Barenaked Ladies and many, many more! It will be rebroadcast on Wednesday. I am really excited to see this show since the last show left us hanging. There are two guys left, Lee and Sean. A sad thing happened with Andrea, a past Apprentice participant. She was selected as one of three to help Sean in the final task, but she had to leave and go to a doctor because she was coughing up blood in the last episode. I am anxious to see what was wrong with her. I hope she is alright.The Apprentice shares a lot of “lessons learned” in business. After watching the third season, which was my first time seeing the show, I gained an interest in Trump’s books. So, I purchased the book, ” How to get Rich “, which is now online. I read through it quickly and enjoyed it. Trump included business advice, including how to : invest wisely, impress the boss and get a raise, manage a business efficiently, negotiate anything, and much more.

I also read ” Think Like a Billionaire .” Trump gives more business advice about success, real estate, and life. There is a section of the book where he gives a day by day blow of what he does for a week. He tells the time of day and what tasks he did during that time. As I was reading this part, I realized how it was similar to an online journal or blog.

Now Trump has started a new website, called TRUMP UNIVERSITY . What better way to learn than by interacting online, eh? Trump University is a dynamic business education company that delivers the knowledge and experience of Donald Trump and his hand picked team of experts in a world-class curriculum. Topics include: real estate, entrepreneurship (that’s me), management, wealth creation, and career. Trump even has a blog! I have signed up for updates myself, and I do plan to hang out at the site to learn what I can.

To accomplish a goal, you have to stay focused on it until you reach that goal. It is not always easy to do. There are barrages of things popping up every day that distract you. There are people who don’t believe in you and will try to bring you down. There are obstacles that get in the way and things you have to learn to get ahead.

No one wants to be fat, no one wants to be poor, no one wants to be a nothing… you get the idea.

Take for instance, the goal of losing weight. It can be a goal at any time of year, but tends to mainly be set at the beginning of each year. A new year brings a new goal.

You will have cravings pop up. There will be birthdays and holidays where sweets are the center of attention. Some days you will have too much to do that you won’t be able to exercise. There will be people who think you will never lose the weight. They will observe what you eat and criticize you for eating the wrong things. Stressful situations will come up that make you focus on them instead of your goal. You will have to learn a new way of eating and exercising for life to keep the weight off and stay healthy.

It seems like a lot, but if you are in the right frame of mind, you can do it! You can accomplish just about any goal you want.

I can’t always help people the way I would like to fulfill their dreams. There aren’t enough hours in a day since I am also trying to accomplish my own goals and spend time with my family. I can however, help by sharing some great resources or create resources for people to use in their quests.

Today I have a good one. I have even had my kids use this resource with me. It’s sort of based on the saying “Stick to the Task” and “Keep it Simple Silly” or “Keep it Simple Stupid.” The website is called Simpleology. I signed up for the free Simpleology 101 and receive these wonderful daily newsletters that remind me to keep things in life simple and focus on my goals. There are daily lessons, videos, quizzes and more.

Simpleology was created by a guy named Mark Joyner who is very successful in the online world and is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have read many of his online newsletters over the years and really like them. They always seem full of useful information and resources.

Hopefully this resource will help you as well! Now, what are you waiting for? Set those goals and get busy focusing.
