I just returned from a weekend networking event and I had so many “AHA” moments I thought my head would explode.
Perhaps one of the most profound was…
The Power of a Decision
There is a magic that occurs when you make a decision to reach a goal. At that precise moment you assume control of your destiny and you make things happen.
You move out of the wait and see mode where everything is dependent on external circumstances and you…take…control.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that because you make a decision, the path will be easy and there will be no obstacles.
In fact, if it a worthy goal you are likely to face many challenges.
The difference is they won’t stop you. You’re a meteor on fire traveling at warp speed and nothing can stand in your way.
You’ve had those times in your life, right? Where nothing stops you because you are so determined.
That’s what I’m talking about here.
Get crystal clear on your goals. What do you want and by when do you it?
Then…just decide.
The rest will come automatically from inside you. There will be no stopping you.
Remember, we’re talking about a real decision here. Not some sort of wimpy half-assed commitment that you plan to drop as soon as you face an obstacle. We’re talking about inner drive that comes from deciding.
Here’s a tip to fuel your decision…
Determine your why.
Why do you want to accomplish this goal? What will be different? What does that mean to you?
It is the emotion behind the why that will propel you.
For example…
I am increasing my revenue to $10,000 per month within 120 days allowing me to quit my job and be a work at home parent for my children so that they do not come home to an empty house after school.
That is a definite goal with a time frame in place and a powerful why.
Notice that it is also worded as a declaration. It is as good as already done!
Here’s your exercise:
• Determine what is really important to you and why
• Set a specific goal
• Make a decision to make it happen (no hopes or dreams…a DECISION that you’ll
make it happen regardless
• Tear through any obstacles and do it!
As you build this skill, you’ll decide to make bigger goals and accomplish them faster, and then there is really no stopping you.
Hang on tight…you’re in for a wild ride. Your life is about to change dramatically.
Expect abundance,
