YOUR ASPIRATIONS ARE YOUR POSSIBILITIES

All the people who succeed big are big thinkers. I think it's safe to say that no small time thinkers have ever made it big. If the lottery winners dream about their millions when they buy their ticket. I find myself a lot holding my thoughts back because I'm scared of all the things I'd have to sacrifice to get those extra big dreams. But I'm trying harder to just let my mind flow to where it wants me to end up. My dreams and goals are going to be my reality.



YOUR ASPIRATIONS ARE YOUR POSSIBILITIES



You have to think big if you want to be big.
Your only limits are those of vision.
The more you can dream, the more you can do.

Big thinking will always come before big achievement.
The greatest achievements always take place
in the framework of great expectations.

If you don't have a dream,
how are you going to make it come true?
Cherish your dreams for they are the blueprints to your ultimate success.

The empire of your future resides inside you.
When you cease to dream, you cease to live.

A GOOD SYSTEM SHORTENS THE ROAD TO A GOAL

You always have to have that clear vision and plan on how you are going to reach your goals. I myself have had many great ideas but because I never sat down and wrote out my end goal and the steps to get there, those ideas are never going to help better peoples lives :-). With the businesses I've been in that have made it close to that summit of 5 years, there are clear plans. Sometimes we have internal goals that are lost or never reached because we don't make that clear plan, but the companies still run successful because the main goal has been planned out with clear steps on how to reach the end goal. It's an exciting thing to see your goals go through that road one mile at a time, and each milestone you complete brings you that much closer to making that dream a reality.

A GOOD SYSTEM SHORTENS THE ROAD TO A GOAL



Having an intelligent plan is your first step to success.
With a plan, you know where you're going.
You'll know what progress you're making.
And you'll have a pretty good idea of when you can expect to arrive.
Meticulous planning will enable everything you do
to appear spontaneous to other people.

Your goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a plan.
One in which you fervently believe,
and upon which you will vigorously act.
There is no other route to success.

What do you want to achieve or avoid?
The answers to these questions are your objectives.
How do you go about achieving your desired results?
The answer to this will be your strategy.

A good plan permits you to frame your life
so that at some time in the future
fact and your dreams will meet.

Success or failure is often determined on the drawing board.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS.

How far we go in life is truly in our own hands. We have to look at our lives and see the places that we need to improve and be more focused in order to reach the goals we put in place.

I personally have a big problem with making my own personal goals, and visualizing that end target. When I'm on a contract I know going in the end result I have to reach and I strive on that challenge and meeting that deadline. For some reason when I set personal goals I don't always clearly see the end results of my efforts and then I stumble along the way. Sure stumbling is moving forward but it's not a efficient way of getting there. I need to know where each step is along the way, and then slowly pick up speed to get there.

In the last few weeks some may think I've taken a few steps back, but I view my short downfalls to me learning and becoming more aware of my own weaknesses. In the past I would hide those weaknesses or make excuses, but now I acknowledge them and try to correct them myself without others having to tell me. To me that is a big step forward.

It's within each person to be successful and it's their own mind that either helps them get there or stops them.


YOU HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS.

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself,
the day you stop making any excuses,
that's the day you start moving down the road to success.

No one else can do it for you.
Only you can make it happen.
You're the only one that has to live your life.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.
It's up to you to choose the thoughts and actions
that will lead you to success.

Your life will be what you make of it.
Nothing will ever happen by itself.
Success will come your way once you realize
that you have to make it come your way by your own actions.

The power to succeed is yours alone

ALL KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

This is so spot on!! When I first started my adventure I was told by, Mister Martell (http://blogs.spheric.ca/dmartell), to go read "Love is the killer App" by Tim Sanders (http://www.amazon.com/Love-Killer-App-Business-Influence/dp/060960922X). Reading this was like a shock. Compassion, network, and knowledge are the keys to success. But it's doing these things not with the intention to succeed but to just better yourself and others around you. We don;t all love to read, but there are so many easy ways to gain knowledge, podcasts, blogs, articles, audio books, just asking questions. The more you know the bigger and faster you'll grow, we all remember those early Saturday morning commercials (http://www.themoreyouknow.com/).



ALL KNOWLEDGE IS POWER



You build the power to accomplish your goals when you educate yourself.
This power comes from knowing how to do something.
Power is the product of understanding.

The most successful people in life are the ones with the best information.
People with power are people who know how to get things done.
Knowing how to do something is sometimes
virtually the same as having done it.

Knowledge will come to you
by having your eyes and mind always open.
There is no knowledge that is not power.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

THE HIGHWAY TO SUCCESS IS A TOLL ROAD

The messages most everyday are the same. From reading books and listening to people we always hear the same things over and over. We all think it can't be that simple but it is. There is a reason a person from the 50's could write a book on the topic where the principles are still the same today. Make a goal, keep focused, sacrifice, and always move forward.



THE HIGHWAY TO SUCCESS IS A TOLL ROAD




You must give up something to get whatever you want in life.
The greater the value, the greater the sacrifice that will be required.
Everything has a price.

Nothing worthwhile will come easily to you.
Work, continuous work and hard work,
is the only way to accomplish the results that last.

You pay a price if you want to make things better,
and you pay a price for just leaving things as they are.

You'll find no success at bargain basement prices.

DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT FOR SUCCESS

Have you ever noticed that if you really want something, not matter how big or out of your reach, if you want it bad enough some how it always seems to come to you. I feel this power all the time, and I think I try and suppress it. I know I want a Jeep for fun, but because I know that if I think about it then I'll have it, so I choose not the think about it at all. I block those thoughts because I know from my own experiences that I always get what I truly want. There are never any contracts in Toronto, and I thought about it so much and wanted it so bad that .. it happened. Now it happened at a time when I should of not taken a new contract but I was given an opportunity where I had to give up my vacation and time at home to get the thing I wanted. So you always have to be willing give up something to get what you want, it's just all about how bad you want it.



DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT FOR SUCCESS



The first thing that will contribute to reaching your goal
is that you simply want to reach it badly enough.
You must learn how to desire with sufficient intensity to be successful.

If you have the desire you have the power to attain success.
You can really have anything you want in life if you go after it.
But you have to want it.

As a drowning soul desires air,
as a shipwrecked person craves fresh water,
so must you feel that intense, eager, insistent, demanding,
ravenous desire for your success.

Your desire for success must be so strong within you
that it becomes the very breath of your life.
It must be your first thought when you wake up,
and your last thought when you go to bed at night.

You can have anything you want if you go after it with intensity.

OVERCOMING YOUR FEAR

I'm currently on site with a new client doing a task that technically hasn't been done yet by any customer., so there is a little fear in that. Being brought in as a high level expert in the field there are times where I'm afraid to ask or say things that may sound dumb or stupid, but how dumb is it not to bring them up before your found out. (no worries I bring them up before it gets bad ;)

Why I decided to write this is because I do have a hard time with worry about others and how they think of me. It's even tough to write that but it's a weakness I need to be aware of. When you think hard about it why would I fear others opinions of myself or anything I do. Example, on this job I'm expected to do something unknown so they should expect I would have to try it more than once, or even mess it up pretty bad (only 3 days in so far so good).

Anyway this blog is a little about fear, awareness and also self accepting. You need to know your fears, be aware of them and then work on over coming them. It's like reaching a goal, it takes steps to get there, you don't just set your goal and then it's done. Same with overcoming a fear, you don't just recognize it and then it goes away. You have to work on it, and take small steps to overcome it.

Here is a Daily Guru I got today that is inline with this blog and partly inspired it.

FEAR IS OVERCOME WITH ACTION

One of the greatest surprises you'll experience,
is when you discover that you can do
what you were afraid you couldn't do.

Your obstacles will melt away,
if instead of cowering before them,
you make up your mind to walk boldly through them.

Do the thing you fear and fear disappears.
Confront your fears, list them, get to know them
and only then will you be able to put them aside
and move ahead.

When you face the things that scare you,
you open the door to freedom.

The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself.

Good Assistants vs. Great Assistants

I have some friends looking into getting assistants to help them be more productive and have more time to grow their businesses. They are having a hard time finding that perfect assistant to fill the void.

Now one of my business partners and I are deep thinking into systems. Taking the principles taught from "e-myth" and "the fifth discipline" where you approach everything as a system that can be repeatable and documented. By doing things this way you can build the systems so you don't have to be there to make sure it keeps running.

Now lets look at what a good assistant can do and what a great assistant is going to do.

  • The good assistant is going to do the things they are shown to do and is going to go above and beyond to find extra work to keep themselves busy, while you feel so much is getting done and you are so much farther ahead.
  • The great assistant is not just going to do the work but they are going to systematize it so they are not only freeing you time but theirs also. Now you have not just yourself but your assistants time free to work on new items to help you grow that much faster.
The difference is the good assistant doesn't think systems and they fear that if they build that system they'll be working themselves out of a job. But the great assistant understands that by them freeing up their time they are opening more doors to help grow the business and contribute so much more to the job than just answer the phone, take notes and write some emails.

Imagine having a fully automated company, from email responses, writing letters, finding customers, to filling orders. That is how you and your team need to be thinking. Growing a business is not about adding more people to your team but about increasing revenue and cliental with what you have. The higher your revenue to employee is then better you and your company is doing.

SUCCESS STARTS WHEN YOU BEGIN

What awesome messages. It's all about making goals and just moving forward, without over whelming yourself. When I was doing business coaching session we always talked about SMART goals, (you can read all about what it is here http://www.topachievement.com/smart.html, it has always stuck with me and it applies to todays blog. Again today's message follows all the rest. You need to take your dreams and turn them into goals, and then break those goals up into smaller obtainable goals. Then focus on those smaller goes one at a time and as long as you keep focused and moving forward (and showing up :), you will reach the end, where all those dreams are now reality. What's your biggest wildest dream? Now take that thought and figure out the steps you have to take to get there.




SUCCESS STARTS WHEN YOU BEGIN


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Your opportunity for success is where you are right now.
Everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were.

To attain success or to reach your goal,
don't worry about having all the answers in advance.
You just need to have a clear idea of your goal.

Don't procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem.
Break those problems into parts, and handle one part at a time.

Develop a bias toward action.
You can make something happen, today.
Break your big plan for success into small steps
and take the first step right away.

The highest mountain is climbed one step at a time
Take your first step today.
