Setting REALISTIC Goals

I attend a lot of online sites and forums a lot. I can’t help but chuckle at some of the posts I read by people who are just starting out and their goal is something like “My Goal For The Month - $1 million.” Now, please don’t get me wrong. I am all for setting goals and it’s great to think big, but if you’re first starting out your chances of making $1 million in your first month are about as great as me winning first prize in Lotto .

When you are starting out ou need to set realistic goals for two reasons. The first reason is that you are going to be more likely to reach it. The second reason, and this is the more important one, by setting realistic goals, you prevent yourself the letdown that you will no doubt experience from setting a goal that you simply cannot achieve.

So many people give up because they expect to make so much money at the start and when it doesn’t happen they get discouraged and throw in the towel. As a matter of fact, this kind of discouragement is the main reason why people give up on their businesses.

Dig The Well BEFORE You’re Thirsty

Tell me if this doesn’t sound like something you hear way too often, especially if you hang out at forums a lot. Personally, I hear this sort of thing so much, I just want to scream.

“I have a problem. My cat just died and I need $500 to give him a decent burial. I don’t want to just throw him in the ground. There’s this excellent pet cemetery down the street and I’d love to put his remains there. I need a way to make $500 fast. The vet can only keep his body for 3 days. So I need to make $500 in the next 2 days. Can you help me?”

Sound familiar? It should. This is what I hear. The truth of the matter is, there is no real quick way to make a substantial amount of money fast, not that I consider $500 a substantial amount of money. But even a sum like this takes time, especially if you’re just starting out.

Self Improvement Power - Unlock it

We often reach a point in our life when we are ready for change and then we need a whole lot of information that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. Until then, something can be right in front of our face staring us in the eyes but we don’t see it. It is only when things go from bad to worse that we think of unlocking our self-improvement power.

The frog principle is a good example.

What happens if you try to place a frog into a pot of boiling water? He jumps off! Why? Because he is not able to tolerate the sudden change in his environment - the water’s temperature. However if you place the same frog in a pot of lukewarm water, then turn the hest on under the pot he will happily sit there as the water heats up thinking “Ooh… it’s getting a bit warm in here”.

Your Personal Development

There are as a many learning styles and pathways to personal development as there are leaders using them. You must learn how to maximize your time especially in the area of time management, ongoing professional development and personal life balance.

They understand the importance of personal and professional development. Personal development is the key that provides you choices in life and career.

Most people stay broke and wallow in their misery instead of picking up a personal development book or resource that discusses how they can achieve their goals in life.

Why You Should Aim Higher

My grandmother would often say always aim higher than you believe you can reach. And then frequently, you’ll discover that when your gifts are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal that is set either by yourself or by others.

When people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. There is so much to be learned from those who have gone before us. Never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and take the path less worn, head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it’s the right way for you.

Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination.

The Creative Powers of a Mantra or Two

Do you know that mantras are a powerful way to generate the focus and energy necessary to create something in your life.

It is recommended that mantras should be short and sweet - one word or a simple phrase. Here is a generic mantra to increase the flow of money into your daily life. You can sat this in your mind when you are doing everyday jobs such as driving or cleaning, or if you want you can speak it aloud for even stronger effect.

Remember that self-created mantras are more powerful, than ones that are not created by yourself because they may lack the passion, or urgency that a self created mantra can relate to. Therefore feel free to change or alter this in any way that relates to you and your situation. One of the mantras that I personally use is :
