You Can Do It – Period!
Achieving Extraordinary Results: it’s just a Skill
Some tweaks for getting your GPS (Goals, Plans & Steps) System running like a finely tuned sports car.
- Remember that a Goal is “a written detailed objective to be achieved by a specific point in time. And, it is something that you want, believe in, can commit to and will focus on.
- If world class athletes have been taught and are using Visualization so can we. Visualize yourself having achieved that Goal. Visualize what it will feel like, look like. Visualize/Focus on everything that makes it an important Goal
- Know that you will act on your most dominant thoughts, so think only about what you want. Remember the story about the baseball manager who told his pitcher, “Don’t throw a high inside fast ball.” That was the dominant thought, he threw it, and they lost the World Series.
- Focus only on things that you can affect. Don’t waste one minute of your valuable time worrying about things you can not affect. Stop listening to the news and so much TV watching!
- A Plan is simply the route you will take to achieve your Goal. It should only be a couple sentences long at most.
- NO MULTI-TASKING, it only assures that you will do several things poorly. Give each Goal 100% of the time you devote to it. I have several Goals I am pursuing right now. I dedicate one hour to each per day – no phones, no e-mails during that time.
- Steps are the individual behaviors – the actions – that you will take every day to implement your Plan to achieve your Goal. These are small easy to do actions. If a Step is complicated, break it down into several Steps.
- Behaviors/Actions are the only things that count. Intentions don’t count. If you are not acting on your Steps, you are not implementing your Plan.
The first reward you will get is several more hours in your week. The GPS System will make you much more efficient so you will have extra time each day. Enjoy your family and personal activities.
Have a wonderful and efficient week.
Sell Well and Often.
