Steps to Achieve Greatness

Do you dream of greatness?

Instead of rushing through life, why not change your mindset and actions? It's time to become the person you were meant to be. 

Here are a couple of ideas:

1) Use your imagination to form images, thoughts, and sensations in your mind. You don't need anybody's help. Trust yourself.

2) Enthusiasm is living life with excitement and PASSION. Only involve yourself in activities that make you enthusiastic. 

3) Persistence is the art of doggedly persisting until you get what you want. Stay in the game long enough to get what you want.

4) Having faith means living your life with trust and confidence - even when you're unsure.

Imagination. Enthusiasm. Persistence. Faith. That's a great life.

Now, imagine how good it could be with Gratitude.

How to Make the Law of Attraction Work for You

I've always believed the Law of Attraction should be called Law of What You Think About Most.

Like attracts like. What you think about, you get. 

If you think, "I won't get it because I never do" - you are correct.

Dreaming of a new life while focusing on your current problems is a sure way to keep spinning your wheels.

The trick is to focus your attention and actions on what you want to attract. That will require a dedicated effort. Vision Boards, lists of Goals, daily journaling are all great ways to stay on track. 

The Law of What You Think about is magical and straightforward —

Decide what you want. Believe it is possible. Focus on the future, not the past. Don't stop until you get it.

Starting Over 

What actions would you take if forced to start over again?

Here’s what I would do:

1) Get absolute clarity and focus. What ONE thing do you want your life and lifestyle to be?

2) Confirm your WHY. Success takes time. Long-lasting success isn’t guaranteed. Owning a strong WHY will allow you the flexibility to persevere forever.

3) Clear the clutter. You can’t move forward with the weight of your past on your shoulders. Debt? Bad relationships? Health issues? Fix them and move on.

4) Take control of your schedule and your time. Of everything you own, time is your most valuable asset. Don’t squander it.

5) Massive Imperfect Action. You will never be stuck as long as you keep shaking the trees. Do something. Anything. Notice your results. Do it again. Do it until you get what you want.

It’s not about learning more. It’s about taking control of the basics and using what you already know.

How to Discover What's Blocking You

If you find yourself spinning your wheels, remember this - 

You must know where you are before going where you want to be.

It's time to inventory your life as it exists today. 

Examining your finances, jobs, relationships, responsibilities, and dreams for a few hours can be eye-opening. It's also the only way to deal with many of the demons that hold us back.

It can be scary to dig into the dark corners of your life. But I promise, when you shine a light on everything you don't want to see, you'll find yourself free and able to move toward your dreams.

I'll repeat it.

You must know where you are before going where you want to be.

Caring What People Think is Holding You Back

Do you know anything about other people? 

Not a week passes without us hearing about somebody who did something out of character and caught us off guard.

The truth is, none of us know about anybody else, and nobody knows about us.

So, have you ever wondered how this knowledge can empower you?

Are you dreaming of doing something different?

Do you have a case of "Whatwilleverybodythinkaboutmeitis?" 

It's time to get over it.

Nobody in the world knows your true inner self. They only see what you present. If you're getting pushback, it's because of what you've been presenting. Change that, and everything else changes.

It’s Time To Be a Good Quitter

Has anybody ever said to you, "it's good to be a quitter?”

Probably Not. That’s why it’s so important today that you pay attention today.

Being a good quitter isn’t an excuse. It should never be an option for making things easier. Instead, quitting is a wise choice. You choose to quit when your progress has you going around in circles or has stopped.

That's when things get interesting.

Once you are committed to an idea that is important to you, can be difficult to allow yourself to quit. Stuck in a lousy job, terrible relationship, destructive behavior? Your internal sense of "Identity" will compel you to hold to the very end.

That may not be wise.

Listen closely when your inner-voice begins to sound a warning. There's no need to wait for the inevitable. Trust your gut and change your direction fast.

Stand Up, Take a Step, Repeat Recipe

It's the world's most straightforward recipe for success: Stand up, take a step, REPEAT! 

A member wrote asking how to use such simple advice best:

1) Stop whatever you are doing. Find a place where nobody will interrupt you for at least 5 minutes.

2) Focus on YOU.

3) Ask, "How is my life going?" Open your mind and let your thoughts flow to the different roles of your life. Bring them into focus.

4) For areas going well, continue your momentum. For areas of concern, ask," What CAN I do to make it better?"

5) Immediately take action based on your answers. Never stop.

5-minutes a day is all it takes to stay on track. Check in with yourself. Adjust. Keep moving.

How To Create More Time

Wouldn’t it be great if you could create more time in your day without giving anything up? 

The secret is how you prioritize the projects that are already on your plate. That requires a simple understanding:

1) Working on multiple products simultaneously only delays completing all the projects.

2) When you complete a product, not only is it off your plate, but it begins producing the expected results. This frees up time to move on to your next project.

The next time that you are trying to find more time, ask -

“What can I finish right now that will give me more time tomorrow - and every day after that?”

You will love how much more time you have in your day.

Happier No Matter What

Would you like to be happy every day of the week? Maybe it's time to start thinking like a happy person.

There's no magic to being happier.

Rose-colored glasses are not required.

Just start looking at your day-to-day life the way a happy person does.

Give this a try:

1) Accept that merely being alive means encountering occasional challenges.

2) Realize that dealing with challenges is a privilege that comes with being alive.

3) Welcome frustration. That means that you are not satisfied and are beginning to make adjustments.

4) Accept responsibility for solving your challenges. Run forward and fix them as soon as possible.

5) Deal with everything that life throws at you. Get a great night's sleep. Have another great day tomorrow.

It's amazing how that kind of mindset makes most challenges never show up in the first place.

Characteristics of Success

Could you find a mentor to help you along the way?

Every mentor I’ve ever had has validated that I possessed three characteristics for success. 

Would you pass their test?

1) Do you have a burning desire to achieve your goal?

2) Are you open to learning and ready to embrace the wisdom and guidance from a diverse range of voices?

3) Are you willing to undertake all actions to achieve your success?

Wouldn’t you want this in someone that was asking for your help? 

Walk your talk. Talk your walk. That’s a great life.
