Re-commit to your goals

One of the greatest benefits of a Mastermind Group is taking advantage of the opportunity to re-commit to the goals you set out for yourself. How often have you made a goal and not followed through because "life" got in the way?

When you commit to others and you re-commit on a regular basis you are far more likely to follow through. Philip Humbert highlighted this issue in a recent post in the Boatrocker's Blog:

RE-COMMIT TO YOUR GOALS EVERY DAY! Every day, remind yourself of your priorities and re-commit to them. For some this means time to meditate or pray. For others, it means a quick call to their coach, a friend, or members of a mastermind group. I encourage clients to start their day by writing a brief statement of where they are going and what they value in life.

Every day, 1001 minor tasks and distractions will interrupt you. The phone will ring, the boss will give you a “special” project, the kids will interrupt. Life will get in your way. Count on it! Plan for it and innoculate yourself. Every pilot and ship's captain knows that winds and currents will take them dangerously off-course. This is a natural process, something they know about, expect and plan for. It is not a surprise or source of frustration! Every day, plot your location, check your direction, and make sure you stay on course! It only takes a few minutes, and it is essential.
