This week has been a very interesting week because all of the coaching calls and mentoring sessions that I have had revolved around one thing “maximizing what you have.” As I help my clients recognize that it’s all in their hands, I begin to see that very same thing in other areas of my life. Everything that you and I need in this life is available to us, the question is have we maximized what we have before wanting to move to the next level?
What is that thing you think you need to accomplish what you want? Have you paid attention to what is actually in your hand that may give you the same results? Many people often fall into what I call the “I need syndrome” because it is easier to blame their ineffectiveness on the lack of tools, products, personnel or finances.
Here are 5 Simple Principles to help you stay productive while maximizing what you have.
I. Start with the end in mind. Always see yourself at the finish line completing what you started. People who quit during the process will never inherit the promise of the prize.
II. Observe what you have in your hands first. Never look at what you don’t have without maximizing what you do have first. Everything has its purpose in your life, but it is up to you to actually use it effectively.
III. Make use of available resources. Recognize that there are tools in place to help you achieve that which you set out to accomplish. Remember that there is nothing new under the sun so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
IV. Appreciate the process. Everything that you go through in life makes you who you are today. Learn to embrace the process and appreciate the outcome.
V. Expect the best outcome. Good is not good enough when excellent is available. Always aim for the stars because the sky is the limit. Dare to dream and your dreams will cause you to dare to live.
Application of these five simple principles in your life will cause you to be productive and effective in every area. Nothing can stop you when you are driven by your passion to accomplish your desires, hopes, and dreams. What do you have in your hand and how will you maximize your productivity.

LIVE TO PRODUCE TODAY!!!
Today, when I woke up my heart was energized and sorrowful at the same time because I learned of the death of two great men late last night. Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth a Civil Rights Icon, and Co-Founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Steve Jobs, the innovative, vision minded and bold Co-Founder of Apple, home of the iPhone, iPod and iPad and other innovative products.
As I read Tweets and Facebook post honoring these legendary Icons coming home from church last night, I was motivated and energized. Immediately, I begin to examine my life, leadership, loyalty, and legacy. The questions of am I “Mr. Productivity” being productive enough? How am I affecting the lives of others? What am I doing to help those around me to develop and effectively “Live to Produce?” Does my walk match my talk? These are just a few questions that begin racing through my head. I often say “ You are not living unless you are living to produce.” These great men were agents of change effectively living to produce in the earth. Are we making or wasting time? Time waits for no one, and life is too short to live in limbo. Rev. Shuttlesworth was 89 and some would say that he lived a long life, but I would dare to say that 89 is far from the 120 years that the Bible says that we could live. That is 31 years shy of the promise given to man! Steve Jobs was 56 and that is only the second quarter of life according to the biblical principle of life.
These two men have left a great blueprint and example for us to follow. They discovered what their passion and maximized it by utilizing the Law of Productivity. According to Gen 1:28, And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. These great men left their mark on the world by living to produce and staying in the arena of working in their passion.
My life is all about building healthy relationships, making meaningful connections, and leaving a legacy for the future that my family and the world could benefit from. In essence, my life is all about living to produce.
Every day is a great day to enjoy... Never think that it’s just another day because it is not promised. Enjoy the day by springing up and into your potential/purpose. Live life on purpose and by design. ~ Dr. Vernet Joseph
Every morning when you wake up ask yourself will I react or respond to the test, trials, and temptations in life? When you react you reveal that you weren't prepared, but when you respond it shows that you have been diligent in being a student of productivity. ~ Dr. V.A. Joseph
The death of these two pioneers has truly sent a sound blast heard around the world. It has rocked, sorrowed, motivated, and even inspired many to start living to produce. It is my hope that we all learn from their deaths and become even more productive people living life by design and on purpose. Be an agent of change in your family, community, and nation.

BEING THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL
Just yesterday I had the unique opportunity to recognize how thankful and grateful we all should be to live life. Many times we go throughout life expecting more and more instead of learning to be appreciative for what we have. It was just last week when I sat down and took another assessment of my life over the past year. Don’t be alarmed when you find yourself questioning how productive you have been. It’s a normal practice for me to do a self assessment on a weekly basis. Reflection, as I call it, is a very powerful tool for productive people. If used properly, reflection can propel you into a dimension that promotes maturity and growth.
Aren’t you glad that you are not the same person you use to be? Wow that in itself is something to be thankful and grateful for because most people are not happy with whom they are, much less whom they use to be. Let me make it plain, I am currently on a “90 Day Challenge” to lose 30 pounds in 90 days. Why you may ask because I am not happy with my current state of health. If I expect it to get better than I am going to have to do something about it. TAKE ACTION! I am thankful and grateful about the situation because I am in control and I have the opportunity to make the change that will affect my life.
Yesterday, when I turned on the news first thing in the morning there was talks of fires and mayhem in various locations. In the same day while driving down the road, I saw many accidents and incidents that could produce a negative outlook on life. Again, I begin to reflect and look over my life to see even when I wasn’t in the best situations (tired, unhealthy, financially stumped, unproductive, and even doubtful about choices I made in life) how simply being thankful and grateful changed my perspective and outcome.
I wanted to share 5 simple principles that help me to stay in the posture and position of being THANKFUL & GRATEFUL! For lack of better terms they help me to keep it 100.
1. Appreciate where you are.
2. Enjoy the moment!
3. Recognize change is available.
4. Show it with your actions.
5. Commit to repeating this cycle.
The scripture that can help as a biblical base would be

TARGETED
It’s time to get laser focused on the things we want in life. I am a firm believer that you will only get out what you put in. It is amazing how many people actually think that they can literally get something for nothing. You know people like that who have the “BURGER KING” mentality I want it my way… Well I have discovered that the only way you are going to accomplish that (having everything my way) is to be the creator. Sorry, but that job is not vacant!!! So with that in mind, I guess the next best thing is to get TARGETED.
Smile because it’s about to get worse :0);0);0) Now in order to get TARGETED and laser focused you are going to have to do a few things. I know that I am putting you to work early, but if you want results, you got to put in the work. Three quick things I want you to do today:
1. Ask yourself, if I could change something about me what would it be?
2. Ask yourself, are you willing to work for it? How hard? How long?
3. Ask yourself, can you see yourself there?
Today, almost seven hours ago I decided to execute the very same thing that I am sharing with you. I started a “90 Day Challenge” to lose 30 pounds over the next 90 days. This challenge will help me stay TARGETED on the goals that I set forth for my life. Why, because it’s my desire to live life on purpose and by design while maximizing my productivity. One of my goals is to live a long life and be around to enjoy my grandchildren. If this is going to be possible my Target must be to stay healthy… Simple but application is the key!
You are welcome to join me on a “90 Day Challenge “of your own. I am also a practicing believer of what I teach so would you be one of my accountability partners? There is NO obligation, fee, trick, or game to it! All I ask of you is to hold me accountable by dropping me a line or two to see how I am doing on my journey. Here are a few examples of questions that will help: Have you workout today? Are eating properly? Are you following your strategic plan? I am on facebook as live2produce, and Vernet Alin Joseph Jr. You can also tweet me as drvajoseph.
I am looking forward to making this challenge a success so if you would like to join me reply to this blog with what your “90 Day Challenge “ is and let’s get started. I am willing to help hold you accountable to reaching your goals and dreams. Remember stay laser focused as you live2produce.
There are so many great ways to accomplish what you want out of life. Getting laser focused is one of them. Check out my latest book “35 Insights To Live A Productive Life” on www.livetoproduce.com in it I share some outstanding insights that help guide me to productivity.

TAKE ACTION
Have you ever heard someone constantly talk about what they are going to do, but seems like they never arrive at that destination? I know at some point and time this may have even been you. Don’t shut me out just yet, as we all visit this place from time to time, we don’t have to stay there.
Well, today I want to address this issue because there seems to be a pandemic spreading across the nation with people talking loud, but not saying nothing. Some people are saying a lot, but their result bank is extremely low. In most cases it is screaming insufficient funds (NSF).
Today I challenged myself to commit to saying less and getting more done. I am committed to adhering to James 1:19 where it says “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:” Because this is absolutely an essential key to my life as I strive daily to be more productive.
Over the last few days I have been conducting an in-depth self analysis of my journey through life. In doing so, I wanted to make sure that I tied up any loose ends that may hinder me from reaching and obtaining my goals of leaving a legacy for my family. This is something that I recommend for all of my clients, friends, and associates as it helps keep you grounded. As always, I live what I teach to others especially being transparent. I specifically wrote this blog to hold myself accountable as many people tell themselves they will follow through with things and it just doesn’t come to pass.
There are several things that you may want to evaluate in your life from time to time and I truly recommend it as it is good for the soul. Weather you desire to lose a few pounds, get discipline in your finances, strengthen your faith, get productive, or even go back to school here are three quick and easy action steps that you want to take.
1.TAKE ACTION NOW…
Don’t sit and wait for it to happen for you, I challenge you to go and get it. Whatever it is that you may want to take action in, promise yourself that you won’t procrastinate.
2.GET AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER…
Someone you respect and will listen to. Sometime it’s good to put yourself on blast so that you receive all the help that you can get…
3.FINISH IT…
Whatever it takes, just getter done. Don’t allow yourself to quit, get tired, or start wondering should you keep going. If you started then have a finisher’s mentality.
I look forward to hearing how you are dealing with the areas of your life that you desire to take action in. There are so many great ways to accomplish what you want out of life. Check out my latest book “35 Insights To Live A Productive Life” on www.livetoproduce.com in it I share some outstanding insights that help guide me to productivity.
