GOAL SETTING: HAVE YOU SET YOUR GOALS

How many times have you heard this. Well listen again. If you don’t have clearly defined goals, how are you going to achieve anything?

It is absolutely imperative that you sit down and think about your goals, write them down in a concise but clear format and most importantly, STICK to your plan!

You should first outline your goals for the year! Then break this down further into monthly, weekly, daily and even hourly segments.

A well planned day is the most productive day.

It is also important however, to be disciplined enough to adhere to your plans. Ignore life’s distractions wherever possible and remain laser focused on your desired results.

Skill set is only 10% of your success. The rest is dependent on your mindset.

The main reason that we do NOT achieve our goals is that although we KNOW what we SHOULD do, we are not doing it!

When you establish what it is that you need to achieve, it is important that you then work backwards. For example, what is it that you will need to accomplish to achieve these goals? Then these things would make up your daily, weekly and hourly tasks.

In addition, it will be very useful if, let’s say you want to make a certain amount of money, then you must already have in mind the purpose that you need the money for.

When you accomplish goals, be sure to continue to set yourself new ones! Always keep yourself motivated to move on to the next level of success.

Remember always that if you focus on creating success in others, your success will become a reality FAR MORE QUICKLY!

Networking is about building relationships with like-minded people; it's about learning and sharing information; its not about selling. Get to know those you invite to be friends. Get to know those who have invited you to be friends; the people, not the products. You might learn something, or help someone else. Now, that's networking.

It's not about the number of friends you have, it is about the quality of the friends you have. To have good quality friends, you must first be a quality friend. Click HERE to get a book that gives you success in 10 steps.

GUIDELINES ON OVERCOMING THE HABIT OF PROCRASTINATION

Overcoming procrastination is the seventh step to generating massive wealth. Procrastination, the opposite of decision, is a common foe. Practically every human being must conquer it. People who fail to generate substantial wealth, without exception, have an issue with decision making. They either take too long to make a decision, or having arrived at one, they change their minds frequently. The Bible states that, “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways”. James 1:9 There are some guidelines to assist you in this most common and yet critical area. 

 1) Do not be easily swayed by the opinion of others. You will of course have your own personal Mastermind group, which you will have chosen carefully. However, you have a brain of your own. Stand by your decisions. 

2) Don’t talk too much! Close your mouth and open your eyes and ears. This may seem like a contradiction of the first guideline, however it is important to acknowledge that just because you have gained some knowledge in a particular area, does not mean that you know it all. Always be open minded and continuously seek more information. If you talk about what you are doing, you give others the opportunity to discourage you or to try to defeat you because of envy. 

3) Remember that making a decision in business can involve and very often does, taking risks. Quite often, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Entrepreneurs take calculated risks. 

 Those who are capable of making fast accurate decisions know what they want and they, for the most part, get it. Leaders in every sphere, make quick and firm decisions. The habit of being indecisive is formed in our youth. How many of us remember putting off homework assignments until the last moment. Procrastination at it’s best! To make quick accurate decisions requires courage. Success comes from making regular, consistent steps towards our goals. Procrastination defeats consistency. No matter how you may feel on a given day, be sure to remain focused and to complete the tasks that you had pre-determined to achieve. We all struggle with this from time to time. It is not overcome in one act, but rather by a steady consciousness that we are determined not to let old Mr. Procrastination destroy our destiny.  

How many families are forever grateful that on that fateful day over the Hudson River, Captain Sullenberger made that fast accurate decision, saving his life and the lives of all the passengers aboard the ill fated flight.
