Sales Success TipGoals Will Ignite the Power Within You

Written by: Greg Beverly

Article Overview: Most sales people I know have goals. But they are not THEIR goals. They were imposed upon them by someone else. You need to set your own goals and you need to know WHY you want to achieve those goals. Your goals set by someone else cannot inspire you. Find your own goals and watch your results soar!

Sales Success TipGoals Will Ignite the Power Within You

"It's not a miracle, we just decided to go." ---Astronaut Jim Lovell reflecting on mankind's first steps on the moon.

As the world watched in awe, Neil Armstrong became the first human being to set foot on the moon. Many thought it WAS a miracle. Many thought it so much of a miracle that it was actually impossible. They contended that the whole mission was staged and filmed somewhere here on earth. It seemed so farfetched at the time that many refused to believe it had even happened!

When you think about this quote, really think about it, you'll see just how amazingly powerful it is. One of the most incredible scientific feats ever, and it was all accomplished not because we "needed" to, or because someone else told us we should, but because, "we decided to go."

When John F. Kennedy stated, "We choose to go to the moon. And we choose to go before the end of this decade!" he knew exactly what he was saying. He did not say, "We'll work harder than we have, so we can get there." He did not say, "We'll try to go to the moon." He didn't even say, "We WILL choose to go to the moon." No, he spoke in the present tense. "We CHOOSE to go to the moon."

With that, he laid down the gauntlet. And with a goal, even a goal as big and as impossible sounding as this one was put forth, we began with one small step forward. This goal was repeated and printed thousands of times over the coming years. It became ingrained in everyone involved. It became a way of life. This was their IT. This was where all there energies were directed. This is what made them bounce out of bed in the morning eager to start another day.

And of course you know the end of the story. What began as an effort, which the naysayers said was impossible, ended with a spectacular success on that July day in 1969. As Jim Lovell said, "we chose to go." We chose a goal and a dream powerful enough to ignite an entire nation, if not the world!

That's how powerful goals and dreams can be. But all you need to do is find YOUR it. You don't need to inspire a nation or the world. You do however need to inspire yourself.

If your goals and dreams are not powerful enough to make you spring out of bed every morning intent on taking another step toward fulfilling your dreams, then your dreams either aren't big enough or they are not really yours.

You can find yours. I promise that it is within you. You simply must learn how to find it and use it.

Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.

Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional - Hi Evan, I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing
Women Entrepreneur Tips - Thank you LeoOliveros, I found #4 particularly true in my case: 4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks. As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.
