Do You Know Where You Are Going?

"Some self-confronting questions: 'Where do I want to be at any given time? What do I have to do to get myself from where I am to where I want to be? What's the first, small step I can take to get moving?' "~ George A. Ford

If you ask these questions of yourself, they can be intimidating, scary and challenging. Here's part of the key in answering them...you must have total clarity of what you want and where you want to be. See, must of us have a general idea of what we want, but not a crystal-clear vision of what we want. “If you are clear about what you want, the world responds with clarity."

Decide right now what you want.  Get crystal clear about it.  If you have fuzzy thinking about what you want, that's what you are going to get.  Fuzzy stuff.

"What do I have to do to get myself from where I am to where I want to be?" Ask and ANSWER that question now. Oh, you can think about it, but until you seriously ask yourself that question, you will never be able to get to where you want to be. It takes steps. Figure out what steps you need to take to get you started towards where you want to be. You don't have to see the whole path, just get started.

The difference between where you are now and where you want to be is called "the gap."  How big is your "gap?"  For some people it's huge...and that stops them.  For others, it's not that big...and that stops them.  The key to bridging "the gap" is to take action!  TAKE ACTION!!!

George Bernard Shaw said "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." Start creating the life that you want, NOW. Remember, it's your choice, no one elses. Stop looking and start creating. It all starts with your thoughts!

If you are having challenges with these questions  join us on December 18th at the workshop "Goal Getting & Goal Setting; Creating the Business & Life You Want."  Read more about it here:

Winners And Losers

"Losers focus on making a living. Winners focus on making a life."~Larry Winget

Wow, Winget just slaps you in the face with the truth! Are you focused on making a living or making a life?? Are you really?  I know when things get bad that we just try to ride out the storm and we are just focused on making ends meet.  That's NOT making a life!  That's playing small!!

I think that most of us started out to make a life, but then life got in the way and now we are just focused on making a living. To pay the bills, to take care of things, to take that vacation...When people ask you "how are you doing?" do you answer with "I'm just paying the bills?" If so, that's all you will ever do. You need to change your outlook!  You need to focus on making a life.


How can you start to be focused on making a life?  Start out by defining what you want in your life.  And then start going after those things!  Too many people stay stuck in thinking about what they don't want in their life and that's why they never get what they do want.

Action:
Get clear on what you want out of life and then go after it. Most people don't get what they want because they aren't clear or don't have any idea what they want. Get clear now!!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Unattainable, Unknown or Opportunity?

“The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity.” -Victor Hugo

How do you see the future? What name do you give it? Unattainable, Unknown or Opportunity? Now that you've thought about it, why do you name it what you did? What was the deciding factor in how you see your future?

Most people see the future as Unattainable or Unknown because they have yet to decide what they really want out of life. Oh sure, they think they know what they want, but they really only have wishes and don't really know what they want. They are not clear on what they really want.

The courageous see the future as an Opportunity. And while their goals may be unattainable now, or their path is unknown, they refuse to be kept back by those thoughts and choose to see only Opportunity!

Ralph Waldo Emerson said "People only see what they are prepared to see." What are you prepared to see? The Unattainable, the Unknown or the Opportunity? If it's not the Opportunity, maybe we need to talk...

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

“The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity.”
