LEADERS: NOT THE PAST CONSCIOUS BUT FOCUS ON FUTURE

What we commit to ourselves today determines our future. Determination leads us to successful tomorrow.

What is my commitment to myself?

What is my personal goal for the year 2010?

What I will create at the end of the current year?

I like very effective words of Dr. Sudershanam, “Every year, I have a fight with my all best previous years.”

‘What am I going to be’ is determined first by the leader. He is always in direction with speed, building his identity and making impression on the path of leadership.

Focus on future is a way of leadership. We cannot build up future by remembering past. We can create very powerful future by concentrating and determining on today.

Leaders live in present and plan for tomorrow.

Living with past glory and achievements is not a leader’s attitude. No matter of what kind of achievements you have made up. However, it is a past. Life is tomorrow not yesterday.

What we commit to ourselves will change us totally and a new person will come out from us. A new person can come out only by new commitments and determination, not by achievements. Even, living and sharing those achievements for an hour’s with some people is not recommended. Even, by that action, we spoil our present and we missed an opportunity to create another milestone.

Put your first things first, everything more likely to fall into place.

Our present thoughts, attitude and decision makes our tomorrow. Our tomorrow is a creation of our today. Leaders live in present and focus on tomorrow to accomplish decided goals.

Re: Great start, but no finish - My advise is FOCUS on your business. Focusing is the main factor to succeed on business. If you have a great idea, then follow it only, don't look anywhere else. It is especially essential in an online business. Because there are a lot of mind blowing sales letters promising millions dolllars or overnight success, people find it difficult to concentrate on one business and they lose their energy. Concept is simple. 1- Have a good idea; 2- Build your business on it; 3- Monetize your business; 4- Promote it; 5- Build list of responsive customers; 6- Maintain You Business. Focusing and not fearing from competition (instead you can learn from competitiors) are main tips of billionaires ,BTW. Orxan

But how do you know if you truly have a good idea or not? If we ask ourselves, we may be suffering from tunnel vision. On the other hand, friends/family may try to discourage us from pursuing a small business because of their own fears, while others will simply give us an empty "you can do it!" line.
