Good Morning Team – In a few hours the new year will begin.\u00a0 Do something different this year and plan 2012 the way you want it to be, write it<\/em> on something you will read often\u00a0and THEN together<\/em> we can make it happen.\u00a0 This is important because;<\/p>\n

“Our goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a written plan,\u00a0in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act.\u00a0\u00a0 There is no other route to success<\/em>.”\u00a0\u00a0 –Stephen Brennan<\/p>\n

“People with clear written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period\u00a0of time than people without them could ever imagine<\/em>“.\u00a0 -Brian Tracy<\/p>\n

There are a bazillion “goal writing” plans, workshops, and formats –\u00a0pick one<\/em> and run with it…or just grab a sheet of paper …because that’s all it takes.<\/p>\n

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart<\/em>“. ~William\u00a0Wordsworth<\/p>\n

BEGIN WITH HERE AND\u00a0NOW<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Please\u00a0understand that your mind thinks in pictures, and for the most\u00a0part, in\u00a0a linear manner.\u00a0\u00a0It can only plan\u00a0\u00a0according to what it understands\u00a0currently.\u00a0 So what works best is to write\u00a0your goals as if\u00a0\u00a0you\u00a0were\u00a0creating your perfect day of building your business.\u00a0 Perfect\u00a0days\u00a0become perfect weeks, months, years.\u00a0 Start with activity goals\u00a0– like how many calls you will make, demos you will do, trainings you will attend – because YOU control those things and because activity leads to production and\u00a0production leads to money and THEN the money can buy\u00a0the\u00a0THINGS you want.<\/p>\n

CREATE A CLEAR PICTURE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve just\u00a0been asked to put together a jigsaw\u00a0puzzle.\u00a0 Having done many such puzzles,\u00a0you’re excited\u00a0to get\u00a0started.\u00a0 You pour out all 1,000 pieces, spreading them out across\u00a0a\u00a0large\u00a0table.\u00a0 You\u00a0then pick up the\u00a0lid of the box to look at what you’re\u00a0putting together.\u00a0\u00a0And there’s no picture!\u00a0 Yikes!\u00a0 Without it, putting together the puzzle will\u00a0take a really really\u00a0long long time.\u00a0 The\u00a0same principle applies to your life and business.\u00a0 No picture = no life = you’re working to complete someone elses’ picture.\u00a0 What is the clear picture of\u00a0 who you want to BE as you build\u00a0your business?\u00a0\u00a0Who is in the picture with you?<\/p>\n

Here’s what I’ve\u00a0learned about goals and goal setting from my 23+\u00a0years of\u00a0\u00a0studying success\u00a0and successful\u00a0people;<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 You MUST\u00a0acknowledge where you’re starting from and just because\u00a0you haven’t done\u00a0something\u00a0before…doesn’t mean you can’t learn to do it now.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 Your goals\u00a0\u00a0MUST\u00a0be bigger than you..especially to the point of\u00a0\u00a0scaring you.\u00a0 Example; My wife and I see our business this way;<\/p>\n

“We’re Attracting a Global Organization of Extraordinary Individuals Dedicated to Loving, Learning and Connecting with Grace and Abundance while serving ever Increasing numbers of People.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 They MUST be\u00a0Specific.\u00a0Example; if your\u00a0goal is a new car…What year, make, model, color,\u00a0features\u00a0etc.\u00a0 Fluffy language like I\u00a0want “more\u00a0money”, “more\u00a0time”,\u00a0“more love”…gives your\u00a0brain\u00a0zero information to act upon and therefore gets you less of those things.
\n4.\u00a0\u00a0 You MUST\u00a0attach\u00a0a time frame.\u00a0 no deadline = no urgency =\u00a0no have.
\n5.\u00a0\u00a0 You MUST\u00a0never\u00a0ask “How”…only “WHY”.\u00a0\u00a0The how will be provided on the path of your journey.
\n6.\u00a0\u00a0 You MUST\u00a0attach\u00a0a big, detailed, emotionally significant\u00a0“WHY” to each of your goals.\u00a0 Example, If your goal is $5000. a\u00a0month….that’s great…but you don’t want that because you want\u00a05000\u00a0pictures\u00a0of George Washington for your bathroom wall…..there’s a “WHY” behind each goal…what will achieving\u00a0it allow you to Be, Do and Have?<\/p>\n

A Great way to\u00a0focus\u00a0your “WHY” is to ask\u00a0yourSelf how achieving any\u00a0particular goal will benefit others.\u00a0 Prospering By Serving Others\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is key.<\/p>\n

And finally they\u00a0must\u00a0be read and re-read\u00a0multiple times per day,\u00a0everyday with Passion<\/strong><\/em>!!!<\/p>\n

Live With Intention,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
