1 – Ask yourself this – “Are Your Goals Worthy of You ?”
This is the opposite of what 80% of people ask – they switch the words and ask if they are worthy of their goals.
You need to have confidence in your self and your vision in life.
Dream big, really really big. Then ask again – is the goal worthy of you?
Inspiring Vision
2 – Start working in time chunks.
Set aside 2-4 uninterrupted hours for your projects. Most people will start a project and deal with interruptions as they come through the door, or email or phone.
You are now a time chunker and people around you need to understand this is the way you now work. Get used to this way of working!
3 – Start seeking the valuable lesson in everything you do, hear, experience and pass by.
No matter if the project fails or succeeds – write down what you learned from it. Every person you meet and every thing you do – has a lesson you can learn.
It is up to you to find out what that lesson is though. And do it before you forget. Write it down in your journal (if you do not have a journal – go get one).
4 – Read your lesson journal – which lesson can you apply today to your next project?
Or your next problem? Then do it. Find a way to apply and use that today – do it and record your results.
5 – Get your journal out and write down this question at the top of the page – “how can I personally make my clients lives better?”
A simple question but very powerful. How can you make it apply to your business?
6 – Always have your antennae up.
Look and listen for ideas, insights, concepts that you have never thought of. Write them down. Talk to anybody and everybody you run into. Ask them what they do, how they do it, why they do it, what could make their jobs better, their offerings better, what are their dreams and aspirations?
7 – Ask yourself – “what don’t I know that is absolutely critical to my success?”
Then decide where you can find that information quickly. Start writing down ideas on how you can work with people that have that knowledge. If you do not have money to pay them for their expertise – how else can you work with them? Any way you can trade services for services or services for products or products for products?
8 – Start writing a book.
On whatever you are good at, or whatever you want to be good at. Start researching the industry and successful businesses in that industry. A book is one of the most important tools to building your credibility and to build on publicity for your business. The book does not necessarily be one you sell – it can be a bonus for prospects or clients to show them you know what you are talking about.
9 – Find or pick a charity that you deeply believe in.
How can you help them accomplish their goals? Possibly volunteer your services or donate products they can auction off to raise funds. Donate a percentage of all revenue you receive to the charity. Find multiple ways to help them and you will quickly find opportunities knocking on your doorstep.
10 – Start building a dream team.
These people can be people in your life now (if they are motivated and positive people) or people you would love to work with. If you do not know them now – think of ways you can give back to their interests, passions or charitable causes they are interested in. Start interviewing these people and find out what makes them tick.
