Fish and Cereal: A recipe for a winner

Today for lunch I had salmon and Cookie Crisp Cereal. We don't usually have "junk" cereal in the house, but this week it was on sale, so what the hell, right? I've noticed that the closer I am to deadlines (The new MC March 1st content is due...you guessed it, March 1st!) the stranger my meals become.

Last night for dinner I ate half of an avacado and a Clif bar. It's the pressure.

It's times like these that I read a lot of quotes to keep me going. Recently, I put one of my favorite quotes on the login page of our favorite networking site, BusinessMom.net .

"Eighty percent of success is showing up," Woody Allen.

As I read that quote today, I couldn't help but think of Jennifer Hudson, the former American Idol contestant turned Oscar winner. To think, just a few years ago, Jennifer was singing on Disney cruise ships and it was her tenacity that led her to land one of the most prestigious award an actor can get.

Imagine if she had said, "Well, I don't think I'll audition for American Idol, what are my chances, really? There are so many good singers. The lines are too long. I have to work. It's going to be expensive. I'll miss my family. "

The possible excuses are infinite.

Instead, she showed up, and was rewarded.

Instead of hiding behind our really good excuses, let's show up in business and in life. There are Oscars waiting for all of us.
