Category: 2019
We have all heard the phrase “make it count” but do we really know what it means. When you hear the words make it count, you might be thinking that you should make your life count for something, focus on the positive and live each day to the fullest. All of those phrases are true. However, I want to offer a different perspective on making it count.
When I hear the words “make it count” I focus on three key areas, which are, resources, time and opportunity. When I think about resources, I want you to focus on the people that exist within your inner circle, and the talent and skills that you possess that support your goals. Also, I want you to focus on the excitement and passion that you receive from helping others and the motivation that comes from making your life count.
When you think about time, I want you to make sure you are not wasting time, but maximizing every moment. When you maximize your time, you can focus on your goals, time with family, time for business, work or school, and time for serious self reflection. You recognize the importance of time management, and you prioritize your tasks wisely. Also, you recognize the need to volunteer your time to meaningful and purposeful pursuits and not wasteful meanderings. The reason why I am hammering this point home is becuase, time is a precious commodity. Understanding this fact, we should all examine how we spend our time as it relates to achieving our goals, and maximizing our living. My mind goes to a famous quote, which states, “Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.”- Benjamin Franklin.
Finally, I think about opportunity, and its relationship to preparation. Opportunity allows you to do something. The key to taking advantage of opportunity, is the preparation that takes place beforehand. Therefore, as you think about the goals you want to achieve, ask yourself this question. How am I preparing for my opportunities? For example, if you own your own business, what is the elevator pitch that you will give when you run into a perspective client? If you are looking for a new job, how can you define your skills, when asked by an interviewer. If you are a minister, waiting to preach your next sermon, are you ready?
My mind goes to the workshops and courses I teach on leadership, human resources management, small business administration and leadership. Without preparation, I would not be able to deliver training at the highest level, or at any given moment. I had to prepare myself to take advantage of these opportunities.
As you navigate this year, I want you to focus on “making it count” by examining your resources, your time, and your opportunities. When you maximize these three areas, you are opening the door to maximizing your living and “making it count.”
Best wishes for success,
Dr. Regina Banks-Hall

Hello everyone,
We are fastly approaching the end of the year, and it is important for all of us to conduct a year in review and celebrate our 2018 accomplishments and strategize for 2019. Therefore, I want you to find a journal or notebook and list all the things you have accomplished this year, and the items you know you will accomplish by December 31st. As you make this list and begin your review, ask yourself a couple questions?
- What stands out as it relates to your accomplishment.
- What seemed impossible at the beginning of the year, but now is now on your list of successes.
- What were some of your biggest lessons.
As you begin to focus on the year ahead, think about December 31, 2019, and identify the goals you want completed. When you identify the goals you want completed by the end of the year, you know what you must focus on throughout the year.
Finally, as we complete the year, I want you to take your lists of accomplishments and celebrate youself. When you celebrate your accomplishments, you connect to your success, reflect on your mistakes, remind yourself of your gifts and strengths, and most importantly, remind yourself that you are able to achieve what you desire.
If you would like to receive a blueprint for 2019 success, plan now to attend my local Achieving Success Workshop held on January 5, 2019 or our virtual Achieving Success Workshop which will be held on January 12, 2019. Click on the following link and you will be directed to register for the upcoming workshop.

It’s time to execute your vision.
Dr. Regina Banks-Hall
Hello everyone,
Today, I want to talk about leadership and the importance of helping others. Leaders are hard to find. The great leaders exhibit charisma, vision, and character traits that attract people. As leaders, one of our greatest gifts is our ability to build, empower, and coach the next generation of leaders. When you think about the great leaders you admire, it is a good chance that part of your admiration was based on their ability to connect with others.
Another noticeable characteristic of great leaders is their recognition on the importance of empowering others. Empowering people is a key to changing their lives. Therefore, I want you to think about the people closest to you, and ask yourself a few questions. How have you impacted them this year? What teachable moments have you provided? What is the legacy you want to be remembered for? How will you help them reach new heights? How can you share information with them, and give them what they need?
Attached to this message, is a video I want you to watch, which describes how leadership can create a lasting impression. After you watch this video, determine what steps are necessary to impact your family, your organization, your team, and most importantly yourself. We all have an opportunity to impact the world, therefore, determine what steps you will take and let’s create a winning team.
Contact us to today, to learn about our upcoming 4-week leadership course which begins, January 7, 2019 entitled “Maximizing Your Influence”. It is time to create maximum impact.
Dr. Regina Banks-Hall. “Your success is my business.”
Get Ready for 2019
Hello everyone,
Can you believe it, we are almost at the end of another year. I took the time this weekend to identify all the goals I accomplished, and those still on my list. I found that through faith and perseverance, along with my passion for speaking, coaching and teaching, I could not be stopped. Today, if you are an experienced professional or new to the field, I want you to realize the impact of doing something you love. I want to encourage you to fall in love with your dreams, hold fast to what you love and create something with meaning and purpose. When you work a job you hate, your Sunday nights take on a whole new meaning, because you know what is coming in the morning. However, when you are engaged in something you love, you find that when it is time for you to rest, you are still energized and motivated.
Make a promise to yourself, to follow your dreams
Therefore, as we head towards the end of this year, make a decision to start where you are with your dreams. Sometimes we can become attached to our comfort zone and that keeps us from moving forward. Therefore, as a strategy, I want you to start where you are, and begin to identify the reasons why you should write your book, start a business or nonprofit, go back to school, start a ministry, learn a language or take piano lessons.
When you identify the reasons why you should start where you are, you will see they outweigh the reasons for staying in your comfort zone. Therefore, make a promise to yourself to identify something that you love and are passionate about, start where you are and step out of your comfort zone. If you do, 2019 can be your breakout year of success and fulfillment.
