Slow Down!

We all lead very busy lives which can make it difficult to remain focused on our goals. With so many things to do each day, it is easy to get lost in the day to day tasks. Sadly, our dreams take a back seat.

We complicate matters ourselves by trying to focus on too many goals at the same time. We have short, medium, and long term goals in all areas of our lives including financial goals, career goals, relationship goals and so on.

Time to simplify things. Write out your current short term goal on an index card. Make it emotional, written in the present tense with exciting adjectives. This goal can be focused on one or more areas of your life, the point is to write it in a way that gets you super motivated each time you read it.

Now the next all important step, carry the goal card with you everywhere you go. Read it several times a day. It doesn't matter how busy you are, you can always find one minute or so to read your goal card. This will keep your goal in the forefront of your mind regardless of how busy your life gets.

Once you reach the goal, then and only then will you be ready to move on to the next one. This will allow you to slow down, stay focused and in action towards actually achieving your goals one at a time, instead of just wishing that you had the time to devote to them.

Follow the Leader

Do you know anyone who has already reached the goal you are working towards? It is truly amazing how much we can learn from following another person's lead.

Even if you don't know them personally, you can still learn about how they succeeded. For example there is an endless supply of self help resources, autobiographies and biographies of very successful people who have outlined their success path for us.

Be aware of the people in your life who have all the answers you are looking for, but no personal evidence of actually knowing what they are talking about. You know the people I am referring to, we all have them in our lives. Although they do mean well, take their advice with great caution. If they haven't done it themselves, what qualifies them to advise you on the matter.

Instead seek to associate and learn from those who have been there and done that with respect to your goals. You will find that this can truly save yourself a lot of time, money and unnecessary mistakes along your success journey, by simply following a leader.

Change your Beliefs to Support Your Goals

Are you struggling to reach your goals in a certain area of your life? Have you considered the possibility that you may be sabotaging your own success? We all have deeply routed limiting beliefs which can hold us back from being successful. These beliefs will actually keep us from reaching our goals.

The good news is that if the problem is within you, so is the solution. If your beliefs are at odds with your goals, you can change your beliefs to support your goals. By examining the problem area of your life, you can identify the beliefs you have in that area which may be holding you back. If you are having trouble making friends, you may believe that people don't like you. If you are struggling financially, you may hold a belief that money is hard to come by, or only lucky people get rich.

Now that you have recognized the damaging beliefs you can replace them with the opposite, new, positive beliefs that support your goals. With consistent and persistent repetition, you can reprogram your mind to let go of the old belief and take on the new supportive belief. Be patient, this will not happen overnight. You will find that your mind may be filled with contrary thoughts, but just put them right out of your head.

Why carry around damaging and limiting beliefs? Make the committment to yourself to identify them and replace them with beliefs which support your goals and promote your success.

As a very successful Entrepreneur I have discovered that there are 5 common denominators that most of us have. These have been confirmed by a couple of the most successful Entrepreneurs I know of, John Assaraf and Murray Smith who co-authored the, if not yet, the soon to be bestseller "The Answer". Assuming that you are serious about becoming an Entrepreneur, either in online marketing or in a brick and mortar business this is a book that should be considered required reading.

Everywhere I research on the internet these days you will find an advertisement that claims we have the best compensation plan or the best product on the market. It is so simple, all you have to do is sign up, send in your money and you will have no choice but be successful. I guess I could turn by hat backwards, show you some fancy houses, or put my bare feet up on my desk giving the illusion that all I do is sit by my computer and collect the cash -- maybe I could do all 3. The reality is life, nor business is that simple. If you have to discredit or "slam" something else then there is very little merit to the opportunity you are presenting.

Here is a question that you need to consider:

"how successful of an image do I need to portray in order to guarantee your success?"

Here are the 5 common denominators that you require in order to be successful in any venture:

1. You must have a passion for what you do -- a real burning desire to make it successful. This is the one area that you must develop for yourself because without it you are destined for inaction towards the success you are trying to achieve. Without the burning desire and the passion to make it work you will never carry out the next 4.

2. You must develop an expertise and become very very good at it. Once you find an area of interest, business wise, either you or the system that you tap into must be able to teach, coach or mentor you into becoming the best at it.

3. You must believe that you are able to reach the top. Reformatting your belief structure is imperative -- you will never achieve until you believe.

4. You must be able to figure out how to tap into a marketplace so people will pay you for doing it. These people will receive a benefit from it and thank you for introducing them to the service, product or opportunity because it will change some or all aspects of their life.

5. You must overcome the fear of taking the actions required.
We have been Network Marketing from home for almost 3 years now and realize the importance of these 5 common traits.

One is not more important than the other, you must have all 5 of them consistently and persistently. One sure fired way to ensure that you keep all of them working for you is to align yourself with the right people. Look for people that have a desire to assist you along the way. These won't be people that will do it for you, or introduce you to a business where you don't have to do anything -- just people that will keep you on track and hold you accountable to your own business.
