I don’t want to scare you away but…

…I want to talk about goals. You probably are not afraid of your goals but a lot of people are. I think it’s because people that don’t know what they want, don’t know where they are going in life. People who don’t know what they want can’t right it down. So that makes it hard to write down your goals.

Anyway… Imagine this.

If you woke up tomorrow
and your life was perfect
in every way, how would
you know????

If you can think it, you can see it. If you can see it you can write it down on paper.
Why do you have to write it down?

To make it real of course. Imagination isn’t real. Thoughts are not real until they are acted upon. When you write them down they become as real as the pen and paper that you used to write them with. Now that your goals are real and tangible, you have to believe.

First you have to believe that these goals are possible. If someone else has accomplished these things then they are most likely achievable. Second you must believe that these things are possible for you. ‘If they can do it I can do it’ is an affirmation. It’s you telling yourself that you can do it. Enough of this and you’ll start to believe it. If you believe it you will act on it.

My first cold call took 3 hours. 2 hours 59 minutes pacing back and forth, and 1 minute on the phone. I got voice mail. I never did anything before I did it.

Leaders in this industry didn’t get to where they are by talent alone. Probably not at all. They got to where they are by having skills. Skills are learned, and if skills are learned, then you can learn the skills you need to accomplish your goals.


Never stop learning,
