How to Achieve Your 2019 New Year’s Resolutions!

The most important investments require TIME. Setting and achieving a resolution requires focus, effort, and commitment. Changing old habits and developing new ones will not happen overnight. The following guidelines are meant to help you achieve all of your New Year’s Resolutions:

Focus on one resolution at a time. Make a list of your resolutions, prioritize them, and validate each of them.  Do they make sense to focus on right now?  It is wiser to focus on the right resolution than to start one you are not committed to.

Create a sense of accountability. Designate a friend, mentor, or companion for sharing successes, monitoring progress, and offering support. The benefit of involving others in your goals and plans is instant access to experience, knowledge, and wisdom— it also raises the bar of responsibility.

Research indicates that one of the qualities of those who are successful at making changes is that they have excellent support systems. Many of those who make resolutions never tell others about them. Consciously or subconsciously, that way if they fail no one will view them as a failure.

Communicating your resolution and intentions actually increases your accountability to the behavior. From the very beginning it is important to share your objectives and goals with those around you so that you can enlist their support. Knowing that you are accountable to someone other than yourself will help to keep you on track.

Persist until completed. A resolution achieved is a stunning example of consistency and hard work. If you fall behind schedule or are sidetracked for any reason, refocus! Just DO NOT give up! Do not surrender to temptation, difficulty or temporary failure. Persist until you achieve the goal.

Cultivate personal integrity. Integrity gives you the oxygen needed to cross the finish line of accomplishment. Your commitment determines your level of success. This commitment boils down to two essential tactics: DAILY ACTION AND REVIEW.

I wish you a New Year of health and happiness. Believe in yourself and you will achieve!

Good Luck and Happy 2019!

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT: Small Changes can mean Big Results!

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECTHave you heard of the “butterfly effect?”  Where one small change at one place has large effects elsewhere:  such as the beating of a butterfly’s wings causing small changes that, when magnified, cause a shift in weather.  Yet, how does this apply to our daily lives?

One way is to realize that our small actions add up to create big results.  For example, try waking up 20 minutes earlier each day and using the extra time to be productive.  Twenty minutes less sleep does not sound like much but multiply that over a year’s time and you have added 121.6 hours to your productive time!

At Premier Concierge, our purpose is to add value to your life by taking on tasks you cannot find the time to do yourself and help you apply the “butterfly effect” to your life.  Think of how you could use that time for greater productivity!

Simple tasks like running errands, paying your bills, managing home repair projects, or planning an event can be overwhelming.  Let us handle your to-do list so you can live your life to the fullest each day.  Call Premier Concierge today and let us show you our “butterfly effect”!

Dana Drago, Volunteer of the Year for Mi Escuelita School

“A special message of love and hope.”

Dana Drago, Volunteer of the Year for Mi Escuelita SchoolMany of you may know of my best friend, Dana Drago who passed away this year due to early-onset Alzheimer’s. What you may not know is how Dana gave of herself to others. She was recently honored as Volunteer of the Year for Mi Escuelita School where she taught yoga to preschool children. Mi Escuelita is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Dallas/Ft Worth with multiple locations. Since 1978, they have helped preschool-age children receive an affordable qualified and enriching education.

The award ceremony was held at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas and attended by Dana’s friends and former co-workers from Comerica Bank. When I received the award on Dana’s behalf, I offered a few brief comments about Dana.

“…After retiring from a rewarding career at Comerica, Dana searched for ways to make a positive impact in the community.  She brought her love for yoga and her amazing positive attitude to the children and staff at Mi Escuelita.  Even as she battled this unforgiving disease, she and I prepared weekly yoga classes for the children at Mi Escuelita each with a special message of love and hope.  Although this gave Dana a source of comfort and purpose, she told me many times the children gave back more to her than she could ever have imagined…”

Enjoy the pictures and please consider supporting Alzheimer’s research.

Premier Concierge Supports Alzheimer’s Fundraising

AWARE (Alzheimer’s Women’s Association for Research and Education) proudly welcomed friends and supporters to a luncheon on May 10th at Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas.  The keynote speaker was Dayna Steele, author of  Surviving Alzheimer’s with Friends, Facebook and a Really Big Glass of Wine.

Steele stressed the importance of telling “your story” about Alzheimer’s disease in order to help support the families touched by this horrible disease.  I highly recommend her book to help give you support and guidance during your journey with Alzheimer’s.

Thank you to BvB Dallas for honoring and celebrating their 2017 Beneficiaries with us: UT Southwestern Fellowship, Center for Brain Health, Center for Vital Longevity and Baylor AT&T Medical Center.
