How to Find Direction
How to Find Direction
The Success Attitude formula shows you how to unlock and open the door of opportunity.
Success Attitude = (Core Desires + Direction) X Proper
Action + Persistence
Still, a Core Desire by itself won't get you where you want to go. If you live in California and want to drive to Washington, D.C., you may have a great desire, but you still need direction.
We already know that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Wouldn't it make sense to go straight, or as straight as possible, toward our desired objective? Identifying Core Desires has a way of making you want to fulfill them as quickly as possible. Yet many folks, after they've pinpointed their Core Desires, get bogged down because they can't find direction. So find an accurate map, trace the best route, check with the travel club, and find out about any detours. Minimize your delays and annoyances.
It may not be simple to map out exactly how you'll increase your income, increase your free time, overcome habits that hold you back, or create close relationships. It's always much harder to find a map for those-but they do exist.
Once you know what your Core Desires are, you can make use of tools that are available to you, such as the ones listed below. But remember, these tools alone-without Core Desires- will get you nowhere fast.
Mentors
Throughout history, world leaders have had their mentors. Franklin Roosevelt had George Marshall; the King of England had Winston Churchill; Julius Caesar had Mark Antony. If people at the very top are smart enough to seek out and utilize mentors, don't you think we'd be smart to do the same thing?
Books
For every Core Desire you have, you can find a book. When you read books that address your Core Desire, reading can be a joy and a pleasure. You'll devour the words and eagerly apply all you've learned. (That's your Conquering Force in action.) Interestingly, the Conquering Force eliminates boredom, because you're always doing what you want. Only buy books that pertain to your identified Core Desires.
Audio and video programs
There are many audio- and videotapes out there, about everything from taxes to relationships. If they apply to your Core Desires, these tapes can help you apply your Conquering Force effectively. Many programs provide specific how-tos. If the content pertains to your Core Desires, the message can be life-changing.
Personal development courses and seminars Again, as long as the content pertains to one or more of your Core Desires, seminar presentations can help you achieve your desires. Many seminars are free or very inexpensive because local universities or other organizations sponsor them. Seminars and courses are among the most powerful and helpful experiences you can have. Some last an hour or two, some five days. Often they are very intense and they are generally designed to help you overcome personal obstacles hindering your growth and limiting your happiness. In these seminars and courses, you participate on an emotional level. My deepest Core Desire has always been to have the best relationship possible with my wife and children. Anything that can help me do that automatically helps me achieve my Core Desire .

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
