You could give up or you could get _______ …

I know you have things that you want to have happen in your life…

You are focusing on them, visualizing, getting specific and taking inspired action –

You’re doing everything we’ve talked about here…

BUT..

Often you still find yourself waiting for someone else or sidetracked by unforeseeable circumstances or pressed for someone else’s deadline…

So what now?

I constantly talk about how we are 100% responsible for our lives and the story that plays out in our lives and yet…

How can that be true when you are subjected to other people and situations and expectations?

I’ll tell you how…

• You can ALWAYS be creative…
• You can ALWAYS take another path…
• You ALWAYS have a choice…

This is one of those posts that will make some people really angry — and if you aren’t ready to accept this as true, I’m sorry…but I’m not going to change my tune…

Here’s the deal –

When you are waiting or feel like whatever you want to happen relies on someone else, you feel a loss of power…

When you look at the situation and acknowledge that the one path you are looking at is delayed and then ask yourself what different action you can take to find a different path or opportunity etc. THEN you activate your power — you activate your creative juices — you activate Inspired Action…

So here’s my question for you today…

And keep in mind this applies to EVERY AREA of your life…

• Money
• Business
• Relationships
• Fun
• Health

EVERYTHING…

Ask yourself this…

What is something in your life that is ‘held up’ or seems to be reliant on someone else and how can you get creative and look for another possiible path to bring you the same (or better result)?

Leave me a comment with your answer…

Also, let me know if you are ready to be creative and stop waiting for other people to make things happen in your life…

You have to know this answer…what’s the FIRST step?

Goal setting, goal setting, goal setting…

I get hundreds of emails each week from people asking about goal setting…

They want to know:

• How to set realistic goals
• Why they aren’t reaching their goals
• How they know if their goal is realistic
• Should they split up their goals into different categories
• If they can focus on more than one goal at a time or multiple goals

etc.

Here’s the deal…

I firmly believe in the saying “if you can conceive it you can achieve it” BUT this is where most people struggle…

Every huge vision

Every momentous goal

Every ultimate success

STARTS WITH THE  FIRST STEP!

Decide what your ultimate vision is…

I guarantee it is full and complete and includes all the elements of life:

• Money
• Career
• Creativity
• Relationships
• Spirituality
• Fun

and more…

In all my coaching and teaching I tell you to know what that full vision is and see it, taste it, touch it and feel it in as much detail as possible…

Once you do this, then I need you to break that down into bite size bench marks or goals…

If you want to make a million dollars and work 4 hours a week and travel the world with the love of your life but right now you make $30,000/year work, 40 hours a week, can’t take time off for vacation and are single then your ultimate vision is probably somewhat intimidating.

I’m here to tell you it’s possible BUT you have to break it down…

How do you eat an elephant?

1 bite at a time!

Do it now…write down the bench marks…make sure you break them down enough that the first bench marks feels achievable.

Great…that first bench mark is your first goal.

Now I need you to decide 1 thing and 1 thing only…

What’s the FIRST step?

A step isn’t something that involves many steps…

A step is a step…just one…

What’s the first step?

Write it down…

If this step requires a list of steps to achieve it then you haven’t broken it down enough…

The first step is the FIRST STEP and that’s it.

Once you decide what the first step is you MUST schedule it and then DO IT!

Here’s the trick to achieving your ultimate vision faster than you thought possible…

One step at a time…

Once you  finish 1 step, identify the next step, identify it and DO IT and so on until you reach your first Bench Mark or Goal.

As soon as you reach your first bench mark or goal it’s time to figure out the first step on the journey to the next bench mark or goal and so on.

Every day ask yourself, “What’s my next step?”

Do this exercise and leave me a comment telling me your first step…accountability is a huge key to success!

Go Big!
