Decide Where Your Going

Direction is central to becoming successful. When you have your dream, you can then decided in what direction you’re headed.

Translate your dream into some easily definable short-term goal in a series of easy-to-accomplish steps that you can visualized. Put these goals in writing. Put them in a place where you can refer to them every day. Do not be afraid to share these with people you trust to be supportive, to help guide you. Start talking to people about how to ready your goals. All these things make your dream and your goals more real. They make you commitment real, rather than just being something buried in your head that you can easily forget.

This is where more people go wrong. They don’t know what they want. Without making that choice, people end up with whatever life gives them. And that gift is rarely real success.

Set clear, realistic goals. Goal provide focus and directions, and with them many things that seem difficult become easy. With clear goals, the steps to your dream often seem to just fall into place. Without goals, it can be impossible to decide what you need to do.

I know people that spend more time thinking about their fantasy football teams than they do about their business and life goals. It’s true and it’s very sad.

Write down what you want to achieve. Work backwards in incremental steps from that destination to where you are today.

Now start stepping.
