Understand the Power of Setting Goals
I have learned some incredible principals that have not only created success in business and created wealth in my life, but they are powerful principals to live your life by.
One principal that is very powerful is to set a goal you are passionate about. Do not make it a money goal....instead, what are you going to do with the money? Money is just a tool to allow you to do the things you want to do in your life....so decide - what would YOUR life look like if you had all the money you wanted? What would you be doing?
If you are focused just on the money, when challenges come up, it is easy to give in, and give up on your goal.
Do you want to quit your job, spend more time with your family, be at home to raise your children, buy a new car, take a vacation.....identify what the goal is, and then set a date to achieve it.
Write it out on a goal card, for example....."It is (date of goal achievement) and I am so happy and grateful....I have left my job at ______ and now spend every day living life on my terms, and I experience every day with my family". Put that goal card somewhere you can see it everyday.
Now, focus on the achievement of the goal as if it has already happened. Picture what your life will be like when you have achieved the goal and you have created the desired outcome. In this example, "spending every day with my family" imagine what you will be doing, picture it clearly in your mind. Make a "mental movie" of what this will look like and use powerful dialogue in your self talk i.e "won't it be great when....we can wake up without an alarm clock, won't it be great when we can spend 4 months in Florida, won't it be great when ..... (you fill in the blanks). Notice the power behind the words "won't it be great WHEN" rather than "wouldn't it be great IF". You are the "director" of your own life.....make this mental movie the way you want your life to be and then expect it to happen.
Wealthy people have learned to master this concept, and then take consistent action towards their goals. They do not let anything get in the way of the achievement of their goal. They are laser focused, and do not buy their own excuses. Learn to make your desires (your goals) stronger than any circumstances that come up, and you will start living the life you truly desire.
