I was researching Arianna Huffington the other day to get more information for the quote of hers I was going to use on Goal Getting Quote of the Day. I saw she was on Instagram. I started following her and found a great quote she shared there. I think it very powerful and wanted to take it and share it with you. So, be sure to thank Arianna.
This quote is from George Bernard Shaw:
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstance they want, and if they can't find them - Make Them -- George Bernard Shaw
Wow, do you get the power in that quote? I don't necessarily mean the power in what IT says, but instead what it says you have the power to do.
Do you want to be one of the people that get on in this world? Admit it, you do or you wouldn't be listening to this podcast. YOU want to achieve your goals. YOU want to Get The Goals You Set. According to Shaw's quote you just have to get up and look for the circumstances you want.
If you want to be something, go out and look for that thing. Find someone that is what you want to be and ask them to teach you. Pay them if you have to. But go out and find the circumstances you want.
The Power I was talking about early is the last part. If you can't find the circumstances you want - Make Them. That is powerful. Goal Getters, we have the power to make our own circumstances. We have the power to create what doesn't exist.
The Wright brothers wanted to fly. They believed they, that man, could fly. There was no circumstance out there at that time. And they didn't have the technology we have today. People who want to get on in this world today create their own circumstances frequently.
If you can find the circumstances you want - Make Them.
If you need some help on setting goals and going out to get the circumstances you want, you can use our Goal Getter Goal Setting Worksheet. It will help you set The What, The Why and The How. Then you can go out and Make Your Circumstances you need to Get The Goals You Set.
Thanks George Bernard Shaw for that powerful thought. And thanks Arianna Huffington for sharing it on Instagram.

I was reading my June 2015 issue of Toastmaster magazine when I ran across this quote from Shawn Hitchcock.
A mentor empowers a person to see a possible future, and believe it can be obtained. -- Shawn Hitchcock
I am an active Toastmaster. I earned my CC - Competent Communicator designation this year. I am almost finished with my CL - Competent Leader designation as well. Our company Toastmaster got very goal-oriented this year with our new President, Eugene Chen. You will get to hear Eugene in a couple weeks explain how he used Goal Getting to Get The Goals He Set for himself and for the Toastmasters Club.
[bctt tweet="A mentor empowers a person to see a possible future, and believe it can be obtained. -- Shawn Hitchcock"]
The last thing I am working on for my CL is mentoring two members. I have to mentor a new member and an existing member. While working and learning in Toastmasters, it is helpful to have a mentor to help guide you through the journey toward becoming a better speaker and a better leader.
Having a Mentor is also important in business and life. Napoleon Hill speaks about the most successful people of his time believing in and having mentors and belonging to Mastermind groups.
I have a personal mentor and am involved in a couple mastermind groups. They are like trusted advisers on business and life affairs. I am also a Goal Getting Mentor and provide coaching and mentoring services to people to help them Get The Goals They Set.
What Shawn Hitchcock says is true. Mentors empower you to see a possible future, and believe it can be obtained.
If I can help you, if you feel you want to have a mentor to help you achieve your goals. Let me know. You can message me on Twitter or leave a comment asking me to contact you regarding mentoring.
Find someone of like mind and get together with them to work through your action plan and Get The Goals You Set.

#ActionMakesItHappen was the reminder for the week when Darren Posted on Facebook the Sunday night.
Reading Motivational Quotes Won't Make You Successful - Just Saying.
-- Darren Hardy
And Darren is exactly right. I love to share motivational quotes. They help to inspire me and hopefully you. They hopefully help to keep you motivated. By keeping you motivated, I mean that quotes don't typically motivate people. People have to motivate themselves.
Motivation is the desire to do something, the will to keep going when the times are tough, to push through the obstacles. Motivation comes from having and more importantly Knowing Your Why.
One of my Episode 10 on Goal Getting Podcast is about Why You Should Know Your Why. Understanding Why you want to do what you do, will help to push you through the rough times, through the obstacles, over the barriers you encounter. The WHY is what motivates you. The motivational quotes are what help to inspire you, to keep you motivated and positive.
BUT - They won't make you successful. As Darren Hardy stated, ACTION MAKES IT ALL HAPPEN.
If you want to Get The Goals You Set, you must take Action. You must do what it takes to achieve them. You must set an Action Plan and work the plan.
If you want to set up your Goals and define an Action Plan, then click here to get your copy of the Goal Getter Goal Setting Worksheet. You can define The What - What do I want to achieve; The Why - Why do I want to achieve this goal; and The How - How do I go about Getting The Goal I Set.
Along with the Goal Setting Worksheet, we also created the Goal Getter Goal Measurement Worksheet. This worksheet will help you track the Action Plan steps on a daily basis to keep you on track and help keep you motivated as you reward yourself for accomplishing the tasks on the Action Plan.
As Darren Hardy says, #ActionMakesItAllHappen
[bctt tweet=" Reading Motivational Quotes Won't Make You Successful - Just Saying. -- Darren Hardy #ActionMakesItAllHappen"]

Arianna Huffington, like so many entrepreneurs I've heard from over the years, has not only screwed up, but screwed up royally, as she says in her quote today that really resonated with me.
We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes - Understanding that Failure is not the opposite of success. It's Part of of Success! -- Arianna Huffington
Arianna Huffington has had a life filled with excitement, success and failure. But, she has never let failure get her down. She, like most entrepreneurs, view failure as a part of success. If you don't try, you won't ever fail. If you fail, it means you at least tried.
I have failed on several enterprises, but each one taught me something. Failure is not the opposite of success as Arianna says. It is an integral part of success because it is a learning process, a character shaping process, and it can be a motivating process on the way to success.
If, like me and others, you hate to lose, you hate to fail, when you do, it usually makes us more determined to not do it the next time we try something. You have to take the things you learned, try again, refine, define, align and then Thrive!
Which, by the way, is the name of Arianna Huffington's new book. Thrive, The Third Metric To Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom and Wonder is available at Thrive.HuffingtonPost.com
or at Amazon.com. I've provided a link on the show notes here at GoalGettingPodcast.com/qod31

Understand Arianna Huffington's quote here today and don't think of failure as the opposite of success, but instead part of your journey to success.

I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that's how you grow. When there's that moment of 'Wow, I'm not really sure I can do this, and you push through those moments, that's when you have a breakthrough" -- Marissa Mayer
I found this on the Addicted 2 Success website where they shared the "26 Highly Successful Women Share their Most Powerful Quotes" . I liked this one from Marissa Mayer and wanted to share it with you. You can check out the others on their website. Of course, I will likely use more of them for the show.
What a powerful quote from Marissa Mayer. From one of the earliest employees at Google to the CEO of Yahoo. I bet she said Yahoo, when she got that gig! She is a very intelligent and savvy woman. I would say Yahoo, too, if I can get her on the Goal Getting Podcast. So, if you know Marissa, tell her I would love to have her on the show to tell our listeners how she achieves her goals. And Marissa, if you are listening, I get in touch and let me know if you will come on the show. I am sure I listeners would love to hear from you.
[bctt tweet="I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that's how you grow. When there's that moment of 'Wow, I'm not really sure I can do this, and you push through those moments, that's when you have a breakthrough" -- Marissa Mayer"]
This is a powerful message Marissa is sharing. One of the best takeaways I have from this quote is, Don't be afraid to try something you don't know. I have heard from countless successful entrepreneurs and executives that you have to say, "Yes", when you get asked to do something, even if you aren't sure you can do it. Because as Marissa Mayer says, when you reach that moment where you do go, WOW!, and you push through those fears and those scary moments, that IS when you have the breakthroughs. That's when your subconscious mind goes, "Whoa, They weren't kidding! They Can Do It!"
So, the next time you have an opportunity to do something that you don't think you know how to do,
DO IT ANYWAY!
When that breakthrough comes, you, like Marissa Mayer, will be unstoppable.
Have you had that breakthrough? Did you push through that moment and do what you didn't know how to do, but were successful anyway? I'd love for you to share that experience with us. Let us know in the comments below. Tell us how you overcame that thought of being not really sure you knew how to do it and then doing it anyway. What was the result?
