Slipping Into a Rut? Let’s Set Some Goals!

Hi Everyone, I hope you had a great summer and are looking forward to a fantastic fall!

But, just in case things haven't been going your way, the cards haven't fallen in your favor, now would be a great time to invest into your goals.

Whether business or personal, goals are essential.  They provide us with focus.

To ensure that your goals are most attainable, they need to be backed by tremendous desire, so you'll want to test them.  Write down your goals and all the benefits of achieving them.  Build your case and your desire.  Statistics show that people who simply write down their goals have an above 80 percent higher success rate in achieving them.

Now you need a deadline; when will your goals be reached?

Next, review your plan; the roadmap to your goals.  Determine the steps, help and resources you'll need. Your plan doesn't have to be perfect, but it does have to be in place.

Having faith that you will achieve your goals is critical.

Create a mental picture of your situation after your goals have been accomplished, and return to it daily. Clearly "seeing" your results will strengthen your desire and charge your motivation.

Persistence is vital. Borrowing from Henry Ford, "Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely."

Good luck, and thanks everyone for your business!
