<p>Love &#8216;em or hate &#8216;em, Mondays are always here. Last Monday rocked. I got a ton completed and it felt good. Today, I started using Posterous and absolutely love it. It charged me. But it hasn&#8217;t given me the &#8220;productive feeling&#8221; I had last Monday.</p>
<p>This morning I&#8217;ve come across three posts/emails about change&#8230;which leads to success.</p>
<ol>
<li>I first read Seth&#8217;s <a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/09/the-hierarchy-of-success.html">Hierarchy to Success</a> &#8211; My <strong>attitude</strong> hasn&#8217;t been my number one priority. And like many small business owners, I&#8217;ve focused too much on the tactics and execution. It&#8217;s been nearly a year now since I started <a href="http://threadlessmedia.com">Threadless Media</a> (the parent company to <a href="http://hostwell.cc">Hostwell</a> and I feel like Approach, Goals, and Strategy are just starting to fall into place.</li>
<li>Then I <a href="http://click.bsftransmit1.com/ViewInBrowser.aspx?pubids=x0xv%2fZ61Zoe8vcODVQaTvuVMaBildaWO0FXd4PKKwHc%3d&amp;digest=rnU%2fZKIncpH9qDS4JrhsAQ">opened up Chris Brogan&#8217;s email newsletter</a> which has a completely different tone than his blog &#8211; There he talks about <strong>finding and breaking three patterns</strong>. Find three things you do habitually and switch it, just for the sake of it. Drink Starbucks? Go to Dutch Bros. <a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/newsletters/">Sign up for Chris&#8217;s email newsletter</a>.</li>
<li>Then in my Google Reader I read a post from a blog I didn&#8217;t know I was subscribed to. Titled &#8220;<a href="http://www.rockyourday.com/this-is-your-chance/">This Is Your Chance. Don’t Settle For Not Taking It</a>&#8221; Dave encouraged me to remember &#8220;This is MY chance&#8221; and change is hard, but stick with it.</li>
<li><strong>Bonus:</strong> Dave Delaney&#8217;s <a href="http://www.davemadethat.com/2009/08/12/an-18-minute-plan-for-managing-your-day/">18-Minute Plan for Managing Your Day</a> (I didn&#8217;t do it this morning, which is why I&#8217;m not 100% on track).</li>
</ol>
<p>What do you do to encourage change and success?</p>
