Conformity leads to mediocrity. You are right on with these tips. I am probably your mom's age and I have kept off 78 lbs. for almost 50 years. I am up at 5AM to pray and then hit the gym 4-5 times a week. When I worked, I would hit the gym right after work because I started work so early. I get comments from people who think you should take it easy in this stage of life. I limit time spent with people content with mediocrity. The payoff for living this way is feeling great and being healthy!
Thank you for sharing, Sharon. Wonderful and wise words. I completely agree and often hear the same lackadaisical type of thinking. I cannot relate. It explains why people are where they are. God Bless!
Really inspiring good for you ! ... but calling people “mediocre” just because they give you an advice that contradicts your routine, is not appropriate. Those “mediocres” might have their own achievements and goals, they can be also productive at their own way. Their big mistake was to give you an advice. . I do a lot a day including running outdoors 2 miles without waking up at 5 am, and every year I do accomplish something. For me is key to combine Success with humility. Anyways, congratulations again for your discipline and routine. 👏
I love this Sharon! I'm "only" 34 but wanting to really be different then the other older folks that are in my life. They are not interested in learning, improving, health, etc. I love hearing this sort of stuff from people who are older and wiser than myself. Great advice!
It took me 19 years to get to beauty school. I listened to people who told me I was too stupid to be successful as a hairstylist. December is my 1 year anniversary!! I know there is so much to learn but, I am leaps and bounds better than I was. The future is now exciting to me and I feel like a teenager at 48. Number 14 has happened, I need to work on the rest and will! Thank you so much Tracy!!
Julia Bartlam I was watching this video and I saw your comment. I’m in the process to go back to beauty school. I’ve been told the same - You cannot make money as of makeup artist-. But thanks to God I will be going to school this fall! Thanks for sharing, I feel like God is sending me signals, that I’m taking the right path 🙏🏼
Listen to her, take notes (I sure do) because she's awesome. SUMMARY OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE TRAITS 1. SET GOALS 2. GET UP EARLY 3. KEEP MOVING/STAY POSITIVE 4. THINK & DO OUTSIDE BOX 5. STIMULATE BRAIN WITH QUALITY MATERIAL 6. MAKE SACRIFICES 7. WORK ON SELF DEVELOPMENT (see #5) 8. FIND MENTORS 9. EXCERSICES CONSISTENTLY 10. MANAGE STRESS 11. STAY ON AGENDA (see #2) 12. OWN UP 13. TAKE RISKS 14. DO WHAT THEY LOVE (see #4)
Thank you for listing these and thanks for identifying them as TRAITS. I think the title "14 Tips to ROCK 2019" is incorrect. As you identified these are TRAITS, not tips.
Even though I am a night owl, I will say that when I get up early to work out, it's very satisfying, because no matter what the day brings, you've already gotten that accomplished.
Where were you when I was 21 you could have saved me from the school of hard knocks! I am 67 now any everything you say is absolutely true and excellent advice. I will never stop learning and will gravitate to people either young or old who know their stuff, being organic or GMO you can learn from both and mixed your own personal cocktail of life. Be you, be strong and live life to the fullest. To the “good life” 🥂
What a dear sister I have in the Lord. I recognize that you are maximizing the kingdom when I watch few videos of yours. I’m a young lady going into my 30’s. Your life experience and a passion to inspire others has helped me in so many areas of my life. I cherish that when you say :”I am called to inspire and help people...” That holds me back to refocus on the Center of my life, it also reminds me what and who am I living for. May the Lord keep shaping you and use you as vessel to express His truth and grace. God is never done!
Tracy, THANK YOU for bringing such thoughtful content to CZcams. This is my second time watching this, and probably won’t be my last. I lost 30 pounds in 2018, but what I’m most thankful for is adapting to a MINDSET & LIFESTYLE that keeps me maintaining. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!
Its Christmas morning and I’m waiting for my husband to get home from his night shift at work. This video is the only CZcams video I have actually took notes on. A lot of things stood out for me that I either need to tweak in the New Year or implement in my life ASAP. For example, I wake up at 4am, but I don’t go to the gym. Recently I had a one on one meeting with my big boss at work and talked about future opportunities. Things are looking in the right direction but I need to be the one to execute them!
AMEN!! Some of us needed to hear this truth! Stop waiting for something or someone to come along to make you happy. Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Take ownership for your happiness. Your relationship, finances, or health may not be going the way you'd like. YOU are not alone in failure. I definitely struggle with this concept and needed a reminder. Thank you for this powerful message!
Rewatching for the umpteenth time. I come back to this video every few months. For the first time I’m employing the rocks approach…it’s having a great impact.
Hi Tracy, I see I am the first to view this video and it is incredible! You have helped me change my life in many ways for the better with all your high quality, practical wisdom. I am so grateful to have found you on YT with the first video I watched of yours being on the classy lady....I knew I could learn from you and have been hooked ever since. Have a very Merry and Joyous Christmas 🎄 Love, Kelly Reid
Right on Ms. Tracy! I can most definitely relate and agree with you on a majority of your 14 tips that successful people do. Something I would add would be, people that our successful - 1. LOVE themselves 2. They 💯 could careless what anyone thinks of them! That is a fact. 3. They do not talk about their success. They do not need to. They show you. Actions speak way louder than words. 4. They do not gossip or talk poorly of other people. They just really do not care. To waste their energy on nonsense. ( I remember this from your other video.) 5. They do not listen to opinions of others. They will decide for themselves if they like something or someone based on their own judgment. 6. They are not “fake.” 7. They will be the first to admit a fault in something they have done wrong. Accept the blame and move on. Which you did mention this. 8. Successful people LISTEN TO LISTEN! They do not listen to respond, like most of America does. They actually listen to what the person is saying. 9. They ask questions and admit when they do not understand something. It’s not beneath them. That is how we all learn and grow. I personally do not necessarily agree with waking up early. Their are 24 hours in a day for a reason and I feel you get done what you need to get done when it’s most convenient for you. Worrying about “time” adds stress to anyone ‘s life. Plus, we are not running on our time, we are running on God’s time. 😉 Either way, OUTSTANDING video Tracy! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Keep it up!
I wish I could give this a million thumbs up! 👍🏻 I’m sharing this video with my teens. We’ve already talked about it and they are going to take on some of these and be each other’s ‘accountability partner’ to support one another Ex: getting up early.
I have been watching your videos on and off for the past month. I have to say you are wonderful!!!! I am 70 years old and I am starting a new career as a Pilates instructor. I am still in training. I have sustained a broken toe and now a severe pinched hip nerve in the process. Your motivational tips are helping me a lot to deal with the inevitable challenges that everyone experiences. Like you said successful people know there will be challenges and they don't let those circumstances discourage them. I am going to overcome all setbacks !
Exercising, learning not too judge myself harshly, (I'm a hungry student to learn, lessons will pursuit me) learning from mistakes and choosing to forgive myself first, helps me to forgive others and have compassion. I appreciate your council! It's like an Angel tapping me on the shoulder to remind myself who I came here to BE and to honor it. Bearing the fruit God gave me is a blessing. Thank you again! It's 4am.
No. 9 Exercise. Yes! Once I asked a colleague who does jiu jitsu "Have you ever felt like not being in the mood to exercise?" He said "All the time. But I go there, it's not negotiable." I started to do kickbox and I love it!
Hi Tracy, just so right on. I have shared with my granddaughters and also my sister, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She seems to be adrift and needs some “rocks” to help her feel back in control of her life, not vice versa. This will be wonderful for her, when the time is right. They say the teacher appears when the student is ready. Thank you so much. Long time follower- so look forward to what you have to say. I enjoyed meeting your Mom. She was awesome. My ONLY small wish is to use your old music. I feel weird even saying that but that was just so YOU. I understand the need to move on, but sometimes it nice to follow tradition!!!!! Enjoy your holidays! Lots of love to you and your beautiful family.
Thank you Dianne!! I hope your sister can get through and rise above the ugliness of cancer!! Wishing you a GREAT year, as well. As for the music, I have actually not abandoned the music that I generally use. Every year, during the Holiday Season, I use Christmas Music, instead. With this video still coming prior to Christmas and with my Christmas message, I still chose to use the Christmas Music. I feel it is in order for the season. Have a Happy Holiday's and a very Merry Christmas! Much Blessings for 2019!! Thank you for your loyal support!!
I was raised with the utmost importance placed upon politeness and manners. But I got no guidance on what really would have helped me, which is goal setting and making those sacrifices to make the progress and self improvement. I am taking notes on your video Tracy! Thank you.
My husband and I do all of what you mentioned re what successful people do. ☺️💕 And we do have a successful business. 🙏 All unsuccessful people I know you just described as well. Great video! Spot on!
Hi Tracy. I discovered your channel a month ago when I was watching various videos on poise. I immediately was drawn to your maturity and composure, and started watching your other videos. When I first saw this video, it really struck a chord with me. For some reason, YOU were the person who finally motivated me to get up at 4am every day and work out. I've been trying, unsuccessfully, for 3 years to find a rhythm in my self care journey, and thank goodness I found you, because you are so inspiring to me! You said not to say "I want to lose weight" but to *define* your goals specifically. So you know, one month ago when I first saw this video, I said, "for the next month, I'm going to get up every day at 4am and work out, and after I succeed, I'm going to comment on this video and thank Tracy." Well, Tracy, I did it. You motivated me to stick to a routine longer than I have in my life, and I have gotten up every day and started my day with 3 miles on the treadmill. It's been incredible for my mental health and well being, and I thank you for your motivation and for all of the effort you put into your content, which I am loving.
Lisa, thank you so much for reaching out with an amazing success story. This is so incredible! You should be so proud of yourself and your setting a goal, making a plan and executing! I am touched and humbled! Keep up the great work! God Bless!
Tracy, thank you so much for making and sharing this video. This is one I listen to over and over. You have so much wisdom to share with others. Thank you for what you do!
This gave me goosebumps the first time I watched it! Can you speak to us in 2019 on how to hone in on what we’re good at? What advice do you give your daughters as far as picking career paths or pursuing passion?
Tracy I needed this swift kick in the pants today more than ever! 👖 🏃♀️😄 A million thank you's for your honesty and motivation! Love your videos! You are so inspiring! 💗💗
Here I am binging your videos like a podcast. I can't "watch" while in the office. But yes videos like this are what I play all day to keep me motivated and working on myself. THANK YOU.
Very powerful, very uplifting, very motivational. Thank you for giving this gift of information. It’s very valuable and I will put them to work this year to help make my goals and move forward with the things I want to achieve. Thanks again for all you do. Happy holidays and best wishes to you and your family🎄❄️
Thanks for a great video, Tracy! I definitely got something out of it: set goals that are specific, clear, and achievable. Sometimes my goals are too vague
I agree, I also do not like to exercise. I wake up, eat breakfast, drink my coffee and watch a lil youtube. I would much rather be watching more YT in the morning but I have to make sure that I wake up early enough to fit in exercise also before work. I feel a sense of accomplishment as I start my day if I get up early enough to squeeze this in. Great video & very motivational!
Hear Hear Tracy! You are always so inspirational and motivating. Although most of us have experienced trauma in our lives, I would love to send this life lesson to the drama debbie's in my life that just can't seem to 'get over it, move on, and find better things to focus on to be and feel healthier' types. TYFS always Love xo
This all applies nicely to successful *mentally healthy* people. If you don’t fall into that category (and many who are after success don’t), you have a lot of work to do with a therapist and/or psychiatrist (often a lot of learning to be nicer to yourself) before anything sugggested here becomes feasible if possible.
Just what I needed for the new year!! You have done it again Tracy🙌🏽 I love how you get straight to the point without all the fluff. Your like my mom but much nicer lol
Tracy you work is truly life-changing! I so appreciate all the effort you put into getting this wisdom out to us. You bring better health, wealth, and joy to all, you are sharing your gifts with us. I have experienced some valueable mental shifts and gained lasting confidence from your videos. Feeling like I have a plan now makes me feel much happier, I never felt in control of my life before. Looking forward to applying all of these tips throughout my life, starting today 😉
Thank you Emily! I appreciate you taking the time to send such a thoughtful message. Wishing you continued success in 2019! Merry Christmas and God Bless!
One of your greatest videos! I cannot say enough to show you my admiration. Even the way you speak is soooo inspiring. You really deserve a lot of congratulations!
This is such a good video and I have watched it a few times. I appreciate what you said that "successful people have no reason to apologize for that obsession." People do criticize and mock you if you have goals and are working hard to achieve them.
2 years ago I started looking at exercise the same way you stated - not as a choice, it's a must do. Before that, I could never be consistent. I give myself a break if I am truly sick or something like that.. the same as work. But I don't sit and dwell on it all the time, dreading it. I don't think about it- just get it done! It's all about priorities! Also, now I make sure to get back on track right away if i miss workouts. Instead of just giving up because I "fell off the wagon" for a few days, I just get right back to it as soon as possible. This last year I had several reasons (death of my mother, leg injury, vacation) and I missed a few weeks of workouts here and there. But since I got right back on track, I didn't gain much weight during those times and I realized I didn't lose much progress in my strength training.
Jessica, that is fantastic that you changed your mindset in regards to exercise. Your attitude towards pushing through regardless of the circumstances is what makes you successful at it! Keep up the great work in 2019!! Have a wonderful weekend!
Wow Tracy, you have basically summed up so many things I have learned during my college education in this video. I am going to save this video because I need to work on a few areas. I also need to make some goals for after graduation this May.
Thank you Angela! Best of luck as you finish your program. May will be here before you know it! Get those GOALS Rock'in!! Much success wished upon you!
Thank you for profound words of wisdom! I’m 50 and just beginning to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. 😁 You mentioned podcasts, and I’m wondering which ones YOU like and would recommend.
Tracy!!! This video was slapping me in the face on a few of your tips!!! Thank you for putting these tips out there for us to hear. U said these things at the right time in my life. What an Angel!!! Xoxo
Interesting topic, Tracy. I agree about setting monthly or even weekly goals. That helps me to stay focused and track my progress. I prefer that over setting a New Year's goal like, "I want to lose weight in 2019." It's too vague to keep people on track. Another thing I do to keep myself motivated and inspired is ..... listen to Tracy Hensel's videos!! And I'm looking forward to continuing that in 2019! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Thank you Ann! I love that you utilize my videos when you need a little boost to stay the course. We all need some type of accountability I our lives. It's finding what works for you and then surrounding yourself with it. God Bless! Have a very Merry Christmas!
Great video- I believe... & this goes for myself no one likes to hear what we’re doing wrong- or not doing- falling short- but if we would open our eyes & hearts 💕 we will be More successful! #accountability #goals thx Tracy!
You are an inspiration Tracy, I've improved many areas of my life over the past year with your help and advice. I love "not an option", you say it as it is lol
Tracy! I’d love to catch up with you in the new year. Your daily planning and organizational tips have been tremendous for me since we spoke. I am obsessed with every word of wisdom you provide and I really wanted you to know what an inspiration you have been! Seriously feels like I know you haha, but that is the aura you give off, so approachable and inspiring. Have a blessed Christmas and catch up soon! 😘
Hi Brooke! Thank you so much for you kind words and supportive message. Let's definitely get you scheduled! many Blessings to you this Holiday Season! Wishing you much success in 2019!!
Thank you so much for this! I needed to hear this! Took notes and purpose to take heed of this. Fifty four years “young” and learning so much! Wish I was seeing this in high school, but I know one has to have “ears to hear”. I was so lost in fear back then..... but I am “hearing” now. Thank you, Tracy Hansel! I will definitely be listening to your past videos and future. Love you and what you do!! God bless!
Sharing this information with my young adult children. For I know I passed on some of my negative traits and pray they learn when they are young as opposed to older, like me.
Tracy, so far this is one of the most relevant videos you have posted this far. Thank you for your dedication toward the community that follows you. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Great job on this video everything was perfect. I can't wait to rewatch and share it with others. I was almost crying happy laughter tears listening to the points you made-sooooooo true!!! you really nailed it! The two outstanding points I'm very happy you mentioned is believing in a higher power to relieve stress, and that successful people do have days where they don't feel great. That's what keeps them in the category of human and not robot. :-) Happy New year to you and your family, Grace and peace!
Wow love this video and perfect timing. One thing you forgot . They know how to make themselves do whatever it needs to be done even when they don’t feel like it . Can’t thank you enough for all you do for us . Merry Christmas to you and your family.
One of the reasons I love following you, Tracy, is that your content is so relevant… Don’t get me wrong! I love the fashion and beauty!! But this was such a great message for 2019. I actually have a personal trainer on tap to work with me throughout the first 3 months of 2019. I’m working on getting up earlier :-) Thanks for such great content, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thank you Kimberly! I appreciate you wonderful comment! That is fantastic that you are resourcing a personal trainer to get a jump start in the new year. What a great ROCK!! Keep up the positive attitude and wishing you much success in 2019!
For the viewers that did like this video have a ticket for success. When you said blaming others I realized I am the only one in my family that doesn’t do this. Now I am sad for all of those around me.
Outstanding video. I'm visiting my friend in Atlanta, and she and I listened to this video together. I'm glad that I got to share the message with her. All the best of the holiday season to you and your family. Merry Christmas and all the best of health, happiness and prosperity in the New Year.
I stumbled upon your videos this week and just can’t get enough now! Thank you for all of them! It’s such invaluable advice. You deliver your message with love and grace. ♥️
This video is so good ...I came back to watch it again. I have added it to a weekly playlist so that I can revisit it regularly until its ingrained.. Thanks so much!
I must admit I'm lazy. Lazy no more I shall be. The entire belief system that I was raised with has recently been shaken and challenged by myself since the death of my parents. I'm questioning everything. I realize that for the better part of my life I have spent as the dutiful daughter, the obedient one, the one who would change everything about herself to suit others in an effort not make waves. I did for other people because it was the right thing to do even though it damaged me. I let people say things to me and treat me in a horrible fashion since somehow it was ingrained in me that I was to turn the other cheek, treat them with kindness because God would reward my good behavior. I become a doormat. It was after they died I realized that I have a voice and I don't want to be treated like this. Its wrong, it hurts and I have a life and should be free to live it. It finally clicked I feel like I'm having a mid-life crisis of sorts. I'm 42 unmarried, no children, I don't even really and truly know who the heck I am. I don't know what I want to do with my life. this is never what I expected my life to be however I was obedient and told not to seek these things out but seek God's kingdom. I've been miserable. So I feel like taking my power back. Although there is much truth in the principles I was taught as a child, I do feel that some amendments need to be made as it applies to ME. My parents did what they thought was best for me and I love them for that. Thank you for this. It was extremely helpful. Setting a daily routine like getting up early, bed earlier, exercise and daily devotion are things I can do right now to help put me on my path to success.
Wonderful advice, thank you! I especially love the points that successful people never stop learning and they do not feed themselves junk content. Your videos are huge motivation as I start a new chapter this year, thank you!
Tracy, this message 100% resonates with me. You speak the truth. I believe anything worth it comes with hard work. And, life is short. There is no time to waste. You mentioned the quality of content and people we spend time with-this is such a BIG deal and good for you in pointing it out! What you do so well is remind me how the same determination applies to health and wellness. My shortfall has been in that area. And, since discovering your channel, I have made some tiny changes that are snowballing into big changes. Thank you for being so generous with the knowledge you share. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Thank you Maureen! I love this! Keep up the positive attitude and making those small changes. You are indeed correct that overtime those small changes will turn into big rewards! God Bless!
Another great video! A quote that I keep in the forefront of my mind is: Work harder on yourself than you do at your job. Jim Rohn. I’ll be adding the one you shared to my bank. ☺️
Tracy, I could sit and re-watch all of your videos a million times! You are by far the most AMAZING CZcamsr. I have learned so much from all of your videos! Your content is so professional, thorough and well thought out. You are the most beautiful person inside and out! I feel like a better person after watching your videos! You should be extremely proud of who you are and everything you have accomplished! You are an inspiration and role model for all women! Cannot wait for your next video! Thank you for all you do! Keep taking the virtual world by storm! You have so much love and support! X0X
This is a video I am going to be listening to over and over again. Such great advice. Thank you for sharing this information, it’s golden nuggets I have not heard before.
Awe! You made me cry! Merry Christmas and blessings to you too!! I’m so excited to get and give all of my calendars with highlighters tomorrow! Thanks to you! ❤️🎄👏
Tracy can you please consider addressing how to deal with setbacks such as being diagnosed with an illness? The kind of thing you can't plan for or expect but which you can change how you react with your attitude
Hi Michelle! A rebounding form Setbacks video would be a great one. We all have them and we WILL have them moving forward. Thank you for the suggestion. If this is a personal journey for you, I can only hope and pray that you choose to get through each day. That you accept where you at and what you are facing and realize that how you live and how you choose to respond ... the choices you make ... will not change whether you have this illness, or not. Good Luck! God Bless!
Tracy, love this video! I know! I am an entrepreneur. I know how hard it is to be successful I’ve worked very hard ! To get where I’m at. I get up at 5 o’clock every morning I work out then I go to my job. Thank you for this video😀👍
Conformity leads to mediocrity. You are right on with these tips. I am probably your mom's age and I have kept off 78 lbs. for almost 50 years.

That’s really incredible! You’re an inspiration to our generation!
Really inspiring good for you ! ... but calling people “mediocre” just because they give you an advice that contradicts your routine, is not appropriate. Those “mediocres” might have their own achievements and goals, they can be also productive at their own way. Their big mistake was to give you an advice. .

Dang...her moms age? You look good!!!!!!
It took me 19 years to get to beauty school. I listened to people who told me I was too stupid to be successful as a hairstylist. December is my 1 year anniversary!! I know there is so much to learn but, I am leaps and bounds better than I was. The future is now exciting to me and I feel like a teenager at 48. Number 14 has happened, I need to work on the rest and will! Thank you so much Tracy!!
Julia Bartlam Congratulations!!!!
Julia Bartlam I was watching this video and I saw your comment. I’m in the process to go back to beauty school. I’ve been told the same - You cannot make money as of makeup artist-. But thanks to God I will be going to school this fall!
Thanks for sharing, I feel like God is sending me signals, that I’m taking the right path 🙏🏼

Thank you Doris! I LOVE every word you said. Thank you for sharing! I hope everyone reads this comment. It bears much weight! God Bless!
Nobody can motivate me like you, Tracy. Thank you:)
Thank you and BLESS You! MAKE it a GREAT 2019!!
What a dear sister I have in the Lord. I recognize that you are maximizing the kingdom when I watch few videos of yours. I’m a young lady going into my 30’s. Your life experience and a passion to inspire others has helped me in so many areas of my life.

Thank you Vivian and Bless you! May you continue to bear the fruit the Good Lord has blessed you with!
Tracy, THANK YOU for bringing such thoughtful content to CZcams. This is my second time watching this, and probably won’t be my last. I lost 30 pounds in 2018, but what I’m most thankful for is adapting to a MINDSET & LIFESTYLE that keeps me maintaining. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!
Thank you! Wishing you more success in 2019. God Bless!
Its Christmas morning and I’m waiting for my husband to get home from his night shift at work. This video is the only CZcams video I have actually took notes on. A lot of things stood out for me that I either need to tweak in the New Year or implement in my life ASAP. For example, I wake up at 4am, but I don’t go to the gym. Recently I had a one on one meeting with my big boss at work and talked about future opportunities. Things are looking in the right direction but I need to be the one to execute them!
Keep up the great work, Amy!
AMEN!! Some of us needed to hear this truth! Stop waiting for something or someone to come along to make you happy. Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Take ownership for your happiness. Your relationship, finances, or health may not be going the way you'd like. YOU are not alone in failure. I definitely struggle with this concept and needed a reminder. Thank you for this powerful message!

Thank you Kelly! I appreciate the nice message. Merry Christmas to you, as well.
Right on Ms. Tracy!
I can most definitely relate and agree with you on a majority of your 14 tips that successful people do.
Something I would add would be, people that our successful -
1. LOVE themselves
2. They 💯 could careless what anyone thinks of them! That is a fact.
3. They do not talk about their success. They do not need to.
They show you. Actions speak way louder than words.
4. They do not gossip or talk poorly of other people. They just really do not care. To waste their energy on nonsense. ( I remember this from your other video.)
5. They do not listen to opinions of others. They will decide for themselves if they like something or someone based on their own judgment.
6. They are not “fake.”
7. They will be the first to admit a fault in something they have done wrong. Accept the blame and move on. Which you did mention this.
8. Successful people LISTEN TO LISTEN! They do not listen to respond, like most of America does. They actually listen to what the person is saying.
9. They ask questions and admit when they do not understand something. It’s not beneath them. That is how we all learn and grow.
I personally do not necessarily agree with waking up early. Their are 24 hours in a day for a reason and I feel you get done what you need to get done when it’s most convenient for you.
Worrying about “time” adds stress to anyone ‘s life. Plus, we are not running on our time, we are running on God’s time. 😉
Either way, OUTSTANDING video Tracy! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Keep it up!
I agree with you, Tracy that money doesn’t always equal success. I know many volunteers whom I would consider successful! 😊 😇
You are correct! Thank you Shannon. Have a wonderful weekend!
I wish I could give this a million thumbs up! 👍🏻 I’m sharing this video with my teens. We’ve already talked about it and they are going to take on some of these and be each other’s ‘accountability partner’ to support one another Ex: getting up early.
Thank you Melody! I appreciate it! Have a wonderful weekend!!
I love the phrase "Leave others better than you found them." 😊
I have been watching your videos on and off for the past month. I have to say you are wonderful!!!! I am 70 years old and I am starting a new career as a Pilates instructor. I am still in training. I have sustained a broken toe and now a severe pinched hip nerve in the process. Your motivational tips are helping me a lot to deal with the inevitable challenges that everyone experiences. Like you said successful people know there will be challenges and they don't let those circumstances discourage them. I am going to overcome all setbacks !
Thank you for sharing! Love your perspective and attitude! Wishing all the success in you new venture!! God Bless!
This video was very motivating for me. Thank you Tracy! Your videos are practical, helpful, interesting, and visually beautiful!
Thank you Anna! I appreciate it! God Bless!
Exercising, learning not too judge myself harshly, (I'm a hungry student to learn, lessons will pursuit me) learning from mistakes and choosing to forgive myself first, helps me to forgive others and have compassion. I appreciate your council! It's like an Angel tapping me on the shoulder to remind myself who I came here to BE and to honor it. Bearing the fruit God gave me is a blessing. Thank you again! It's 4am.
Thank you! Great perspective! God Bless!
No. 9 Exercise. Yes! Once I asked a colleague who does jiu jitsu "Have you ever felt like not being in the mood to exercise?" He said "All the time. But I go there, it's not negotiable." I started to do kickbox and I love it!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Tracy, just so right on. I have shared with my granddaughters and also my sister, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She seems to be adrift and needs some “rocks” to help her feel back in control of her life, not vice versa. This will be wonderful for her, when the time is right. They say the teacher appears when the student is ready. Thank you so much. Long time follower- so look forward to what you have to say. I enjoyed meeting your Mom. She was awesome. My ONLY small wish is to use your old music. I feel weird even saying that but that was just so YOU. I understand the need to move on, but sometimes it nice to follow tradition!!!!! Enjoy your holidays! Lots of love to you and your beautiful family.
Thank you Dianne!! I hope your sister can get through and rise above the ugliness of cancer!! Wishing you a GREAT year, as well. As for the music, I have actually not abandoned the music that I generally use. Every year, during the Holiday Season, I use Christmas Music, instead. With this video still coming prior to Christmas and with my Christmas message, I still chose to use the Christmas Music. I feel it is in order for the season. Have a Happy Holiday's and a very Merry Christmas! Much Blessings for 2019!! Thank you for your loyal support!!
I was raised with the utmost importance placed upon politeness and manners. But I got no guidance on what really would have helped me, which is goal setting and making those sacrifices to make the progress and self improvement. I am taking notes on your video Tracy! Thank you.
Wonderful insight. Thank you for sharing! Wishing you much success in 2019!! God Bless!
My husband and I do all of what you mentioned re what successful people do. ☺️💕 And we do have a successful business. 🙏 All unsuccessful people I know you just described as well. Great video! Spot on!
Hi Tracy. I discovered your channel a month ago when I was watching various videos on poise. I immediately was drawn to your maturity and composure, and started watching your other videos. When I first saw this video, it really struck a chord with me. For some reason, YOU were the person who finally motivated me to get up at 4am every day and work out. I've been trying, unsuccessfully, for 3 years to find a rhythm in my self care journey, and thank goodness I found you, because you are so inspiring to me! You said not to say "I want to lose weight" but to *define* your goals specifically. So you know, one month ago when I first saw this video, I said, "for the next month, I'm going to get up every day at 4am and work out, and after I succeed, I'm going to comment on this video and thank Tracy." Well, Tracy, I did it. You motivated me to stick to a routine longer than I have in my life, and I have gotten up every day and started my day with 3 miles on the treadmill. It's been incredible for my mental health and well being, and I thank you for your motivation and for all of the effort you put into your content, which I am loving.
Lisa, thank you so much for reaching out with an amazing success story. This is so incredible! You should be so proud of yourself and your setting a goal, making a plan and executing! I am touched and humbled! Keep up the great work! God Bless!
Tracy, thank you so much for making and sharing this video. This is one I listen to over and over. You have so much wisdom to share with others. Thank you for what you do!
Love, you Mrs. Tracy!! Hope, all has been well. peace ✌ and love💕💖
Thank you!
Tracy Hensel You're, welcome!!
This gave me goosebumps the first time I watched it! Can you speak to us in 2019 on how to hone in on what we’re good at? What advice do you give your daughters as far as picking career paths or pursuing passion?
YESS
I'm playing this video during my upcoming vision board party for 2019. Thank you 👏🏾👏🏾
Tracy I needed this swift kick in the pants today more than ever! 👖 🏃♀️😄 A million thank you's for your honesty and motivation! Love your videos! You are so inspiring! 💗💗
Thank you Debra! What a sweet message! Many Blessings to you! Merry Christmas!
Here I am binging your videos like a podcast. I can't "watch" while in the office. But yes videos like this are what I play all day to keep me motivated and working on myself. THANK YOU.
Very powerful, very uplifting, very motivational. Thank you for giving this gift of information. It’s very valuable and I will put them to work this year to help make my goals and move forward with the things I want to achieve.
Thanks again for all you do. Happy holidays and best wishes to you and your family🎄❄️
Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful New Year and much success!!
I love all of your videos, which I watch to make changes and become a better person. And this may be one I watch again. 💙❤️
Thanks for a great video, Tracy! I definitely got something out of it: set goals that are specific, clear, and achievable. Sometimes my goals are too vague
Thank you! You've got it! Much success wished upon you in 2019!
I love your blouse!!! Thank you for all you have done for us viewers this year!!!!
Thank you Jacqueline! MAKE it a GREAT Year! God Bless!
One blouse is old fashioned and all that for the vicars wife on an old spinster
It’s already May and I only considered new year now. Happy New Year to me...
I agree, I also do not like to exercise. I wake up, eat breakfast, drink my coffee and watch a lil youtube. I would much rather be watching more YT in the morning but I have to make sure that I wake up early enough to fit in exercise also before work. I feel a sense of accomplishment as I start my day if I get up early enough to squeeze this in. Great video & very motivational!
Wonderful advice. Thank you Tracy, I wish you a wonderful holiday full of happiness and blessings!!
Thank you GiGi!
Thank you Tracy. This is a great message. Looking forward to the New Year. I love watching your CZcams videos. You are an inspiration.
Thank you! Wishing you much success in 2019! Enjoy your weekend!
Hear Hear Tracy! You are always so inspirational and motivating. Although most of us have experienced trauma in our lives, I would love to send this life lesson to the drama debbie's in my life that just can't seem to 'get over it, move on, and find better things to focus on to be and feel healthier' types. TYFS always Love xo
Thank you Cynthia! I appreciate the lovely comment! I like your attitude. Yes, push through and move forward!! Blessings!
This all applies nicely to successful *mentally healthy* people. If you don’t fall into that category (and many who are after success don’t), you have a lot of work to do with a therapist and/or psychiatrist (often a lot of learning to be nicer to yourself) before anything sugggested here becomes feasible if possible.
Just what I needed for the new year!! You have done it again Tracy🙌🏽 I love how you get straight to the point without all the fluff. Your like my mom but much nicer lol
Thank you! God Bless!
A true GEM of a video.
We appreciate you, Tracy. Merry Christmas!💚🎄🐎🎄💚
Thank you!
I’ve been watching your videos for over six months now and just wanted to say your a wonderful role model. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Thank you Robin! God Bless you!
Tracy you work is truly life-changing! I so appreciate all the effort you put into getting this wisdom out to us. You bring better health, wealth, and joy to all, you are sharing your gifts with us. I have experienced some valueable mental shifts and gained lasting confidence from your videos. Feeling like I have a plan now makes me feel much happier, I never felt in control of my life before. Looking forward to applying all of these tips throughout my life, starting today 😉
Thank you Emily! I appreciate you taking the time to send such a thoughtful message. Wishing you continued success in 2019! Merry Christmas and God Bless!
I love your “life coaching” videos!!! Thank you for all the value you bring to us Tracy! -Lauren
Thank you Lauren! God Bless!
YOU ARE THE REASON WHY THE SUN CAME UP......AND FOR THAT ONE WORD.....THANK YOU !
🙏😘🧠💕
One of your greatest videos! I cannot say enough to show you my admiration. Even the way you speak is soooo inspiring. You really deserve a lot of congratulations!
Thank you! God Bless! Happy New Year!
This is such a good video and I have watched it a few times. I appreciate what you said that "successful people have no reason to apologize for that obsession." People do criticize and mock you if you have goals and are working hard to achieve them.
2 years ago I started looking at exercise the same way you stated - not as a choice, it's a must do. Before that, I could never be consistent. I give myself a break if I am truly sick or something like that.. the same as work. But I don't sit and dwell on it all the time, dreading it. I don't think about it- just get it done! It's all about priorities!
Also, now I make sure to get back on track right away if i miss workouts. Instead of just giving up because I "fell off the wagon" for a few days, I just get right back to it as soon as possible. This last year I had several reasons (death of my mother, leg injury, vacation) and I missed a few weeks of workouts here and there. But since I got right back on track, I didn't gain much weight during those times and I realized I didn't lose much progress in my strength training.
Jessica, that is fantastic that you changed your mindset in regards to exercise. Your attitude towards pushing through regardless of the circumstances is what makes you successful at it! Keep up the great work in 2019!! Have a wonderful weekend!
Wow Tracy, you have basically summed up so many things I have learned during my college education in this video. I am going to save this video because I need to work on a few areas. I also need to make some goals for after graduation this May.
Thank you Angela! Best of luck as you finish your program. May will be here before you know it! Get those GOALS Rock'in!! Much success wished upon you!
Thank you for profound words of wisdom! I’m 50 and just beginning to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. 😁 You mentioned podcasts, and I’m wondering which ones YOU like and would recommend.
Hit the nail on the head. Here’s to success in 2019 and beyond!
Thank you!
Wow!You are so powerful and so right!Love listening to this video.It’s like mantra!Xx
Thank you, Tracy, for inspiration to push harder and never give up! I am very grateful for this video, just what I needed today!🌸
You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed! Have a GREAT weekend!
Thank you for the lovely comment! xx
Tracy!!! This video was slapping me in the face on a few of your tips!!! Thank you for putting these tips out there for us to hear. U said these things at the right time in my life. What an Angel!!! Xoxo
Thank you for being open and listening with intent. Life is work ... but it can be great work! Best wishes for a HIGHLY successful and ROCK'in 2019!!!
Interesting topic, Tracy. I agree about setting monthly or even weekly goals. That helps me to stay focused and track my progress. I prefer that over setting a New Year's goal like, "I want to lose weight in 2019." It's too vague to keep people on track. Another thing I do to keep myself motivated and inspired is ..... listen to Tracy Hensel's videos!! And I'm looking forward to continuing that in 2019! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Thank you Ann! I love that you utilize my videos when you need a little boost to stay the course. We all need some type of accountability I our lives. It's finding what works for you and then surrounding yourself with it. God Bless! Have a very Merry Christmas!
Great video- I believe... & this goes for myself no one likes to hear what we’re doing wrong- or not doing- falling short- but if we would open our eyes & hearts 💕 we will be More successful! #accountability #goals thx Tracy!
I use social media to learn, though I do have 5 CZcamsrs whom I follow, one of which is you. Thank you for helping become successful.
You are an inspiration Tracy, I've improved many areas of my life over the past year with your help and advice. I love "not an option", you say it as it is lol
Thank you Susan!
Tracy! I’d love to catch up with you in the new year. Your daily planning and organizational tips have been tremendous for me since we spoke. I am obsessed with every word of wisdom you provide and I really wanted you to know what an inspiration you have been! Seriously feels like I know you haha, but that is the aura you give off, so approachable and inspiring. Have a blessed Christmas and catch up soon! 😘
Hi Brooke! Thank you so much for you kind words and supportive message. Let's definitely get you scheduled! many Blessings to you this Holiday Season! Wishing you much success in 2019!!
Thank you so much for this! I needed to hear this! Took notes and purpose to take heed of this. Fifty four years “young” and learning so much! Wish I was seeing this in high school, but I know one has to have “ears to hear”. I was so lost in fear back then..... but I am “hearing” now. Thank you, Tracy Hansel! I will definitely be listening to your past videos and future. Love you and what you do!! God bless!
Sharing this information with my young adult children. For I know I passed on some of my negative traits and pray they learn when they are young as opposed to older, like me.
Tracy, so far this is one of the most relevant videos you have posted this far. Thank you for your dedication toward the community that follows you. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Thank you! God Bless!
Great job on this video everything was perfect. I can't wait to rewatch and share it with others. I was almost crying happy laughter tears listening to the points you made-sooooooo true!!! you really nailed it! The two outstanding points I'm very happy you mentioned is believing in a higher power to relieve stress, and that successful people do have days where they don't feel great. That's what keeps them in the category of human and not robot. :-)
Happy New year to you and your family, Grace and peace!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Another great video from an inspiring, smart, beautiful advisor.
You have been such a blessing to me! You are so helpful! This video just blessed me. I can tell you are a woman of God.
Thank you!
Wow love this video and perfect timing. One thing you forgot . They know how to make themselves do whatever it needs to be done even when they don’t feel like it . Can’t thank you enough for all you do for us . Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you Laura! MAKE it a GREAT 2019! Many Blessings!!
❤️
One of the reasons I love following you, Tracy, is that your content is so relevant… Don’t get me wrong! I love the fashion and beauty!! But this was such a great message for 2019. I actually have a personal trainer on tap to work with me throughout the first 3 months of 2019. I’m working on getting up earlier :-) Thanks for such great content, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thank you Kimberly! I appreciate you wonderful comment! That is fantastic that you are resourcing a personal trainer to get a jump start in the new year. What a great ROCK!! Keep up the positive attitude and wishing you much success in 2019!
The moment we are accountable is the moment we take our power back.
AMEN!!!
Hi Tracy your such a smart woman ! I love all your videos I learn something every time . Your daughters are so lucky to have such a smart mom 😊
Thank you Esmeralda!
Tracy. Great message but I need to tell ya, I've seen almost all of your videos and I gotta say, this lip color is your color!!!
For the viewers that did like this video have a ticket for success.
When you said blaming others I realized I am the only one in my family that doesn’t do this. Now I am sad for all of those around me.
Thank you! Blaming others leads to self-lathing. I am sorry that you are surrounded by so much of it. Continue to use above!
Outstanding video. I'm visiting my friend in Atlanta, and she and I listened to this video together. I'm glad that I got to share the message with her. All the best of the holiday season to you and your family. Merry Christmas and all the best of health, happiness and prosperity in the New Year.
Thank you Rita! I appreciate you sharing the video with your friend! Merry Christmas to YOU and your sister! Many Blessings wished for you in 2019!!
I stumbled upon your videos this week and just can’t get enough now! Thank you for all of them! It’s such invaluable advice. You deliver your message with love and grace. ♥️
Thank you Lydia! God Bless!
This video is so good ...I came back to watch it again. I have added it to a weekly playlist so that I can revisit it regularly until its ingrained.. Thanks so much!
I must admit I'm lazy. Lazy no more I shall be. The entire belief system that I was raised with has recently been shaken and challenged by myself since the death of my parents. I'm questioning everything. I realize that for the better part of my life I have spent as the dutiful daughter, the obedient one, the one who would change everything about herself to suit others in an effort not make waves. I did for other people because it was the right thing to do even though it damaged me. I let people say things to me and treat me in a horrible fashion since somehow it was ingrained in me that I was to turn the other cheek, treat them with kindness because God would reward my good behavior. I become a doormat. It was after they died I realized that I have a voice and I don't want to be treated like this. Its wrong, it hurts and I have a life and should be free to live it. It finally clicked I feel like I'm having a mid-life crisis of sorts. I'm 42 unmarried, no children, I don't even really and truly know who the heck I am. I don't know what I want to do with my life. this is never what I expected my life to be however I was obedient and told not to seek these things out but seek God's kingdom. I've been miserable. So I feel like taking my power back. Although there is much truth in the principles I was taught as a child, I do feel that some amendments need to be made as it applies to ME. My parents did what they thought was best for me and I love them for that. Thank you for this. It was extremely helpful. Setting a daily routine like getting up early, bed earlier, exercise and daily devotion are things I can do right now to help put me on my path to success.
Wonderful advice, thank you! I especially love the points that successful people never stop learning and they do not feed themselves junk content. Your videos are huge motivation as I start a new chapter this year, thank you!
You’re a wonderful role model Tracy! Have a great year! 💋❤️🍄
Thank you Ingrid! God Bless!
Thank you so much for opening my eyes about being successful the right way.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Tracy!
Thank you Deanna! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, as well. MAKE it a ROCK'in 2019!! Blessings!
So motivational! Every professional man or woman should listen to this!
Awesome expression of thought and putting the message together 😊 Thank you for wonderful video❤️
Tracy, this message 100% resonates with me. You speak the truth. I believe anything worth it comes with hard work. And, life is short. There is no time to waste.
You mentioned the quality of content and people we spend time with-this is such a BIG deal and good for you in pointing it out!
What you do so well is remind me how the same determination applies to health and wellness. My shortfall has been in that area. And, since discovering your channel, I have made some tiny changes that are snowballing into big changes. Thank you for being so generous with the knowledge you share. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Thank you Maureen! I love this! Keep up the positive attitude and making those small changes. You are indeed correct that overtime those small changes will turn into big rewards! God Bless!
Watching again Tracy- thx 🧡
Another great video! A quote that I keep in the forefront of my mind is: Work harder on yourself than you do at your job. Jim Rohn. I’ll be adding the one you shared to my bank. ☺️
Thank you Laurie!
It is better to watch your video 10x then watch a rubbish video once.....
I wish you a million success...
Bless you!
Perfect advice for us all. God bless you Tracy and thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us. Here’s to an amazing 2019!
Great advice, Tracy! Glad I found you :)
So true. Love it. Happy Holidays!
Thank you!
Tracy, I could sit and re-watch all of your videos a million times! You are by far the most AMAZING CZcamsr. I have learned so much from all of your videos! Your content is so professional, thorough and well thought out. You are the most beautiful person inside and out! I feel like a better person after watching your videos! You should be extremely proud of who you are and everything you have accomplished! You are an inspiration and role model for all women! Cannot wait for your next video! Thank you for all you do! Keep taking the virtual world by storm! You have so much love and support! X0X
Thank you Ashley! God Bless!
This is a video I am going to be listening to over and over again. Such great advice. Thank you for sharing this information, it’s golden nuggets I have not heard before.
Awe! You made me cry! Merry Christmas and blessings to you too!! I’m so excited to get and give all of my calendars with highlighters tomorrow! Thanks to you! ❤️🎄👏
Hi Christina! How awesome is that! So excited for you to get ready for the new year! Wishing you much success in 2019! Merry Christmas! God Bless!
Thanks Tracy. Have an awesome Holiday Season hun.
Thank you Diane! MAKE it a GREAT Year!! Blessings!
I needed this. Especially at the start of a new year. I even had to break out my onenote to take some notes! Thank you Tracy.
Tracy can you please consider addressing how to deal with setbacks such as being diagnosed with an illness? The kind of thing you can't plan for or expect but which you can change how you react with your attitude
Hi Michelle! A rebounding form Setbacks video would be a great one. We all have them and we WILL have them moving forward. Thank you for the suggestion. If this is a personal journey for you, I can only hope and pray that you choose to get through each day. That you accept where you at and what you are facing and realize that how you live and how you choose to respond ... the choices you make ... will not change whether you have this illness, or not. Good Luck! God Bless!
What a wonderful and motivating video. I plan to keep this one in my favorites.
Thank you! Great idea! God Bless! Wishing you much success in 2019!!
Thank you for this video! I needed to hear this. Merry Christmas!
Thank you Emma! Merry Christmas!
SO MANY TRUTHS, I heard here.
Thank you!
Tracy, love this video! I know! I am an entrepreneur. I know how hard it is to be successful I’ve worked very hard ! To get where I’m at. I get up at 5 o’clock every morning I work out then I go to my job. Thank you for this video😀👍
Thank you Lola! Best of luck to you in 2019! Keep up the success!
Great job!! I would love to see pictures of the party. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Thank you! MAKE it a GREAT 2019!! Blessings!
