GPS of Success
Posted 23rd January 2015 at 02:41 PM by bobandnanci
In order to achieve success in anything, we need to activate our GPS so that we find the most direct route.
Now, before I get into this, let me clearly state that the GPS system in my car and I do not get along with each other. I am using the metaphor because it's a good one and maybe, just maybe, the rich bitch in my car will decide to treat me a little bit better than she does now.
Anyway, as you may know, with any GPS system you have got to know exactly where you are and exactly where you want to go. Given this information, the system will give you the most direct route. The same is true when we are working to achieve success in some aspect of our life.
Get clear
When you are in the process of getting total clarification about where you are right now in regards to your success goal and exactly what success means to you in this area, you have to make sure that you put yourself in a safe place in your head so that you don't pass judgment on yourself.
You are going to need to look at the belief system that you have set up around your goal. If you are looking to create financial success, you have to know what you believe about money. No matter what those beliefs may be, you have to acknowledge them and know that it is okay that you feel that way right now. There is no reason to despair; you can change your belief system.
The clearer you are the straighter the line between the two points is going to be. Keep in mind though that life happens and that will cause some twists and turns along the path.
Work backwards from your success goal
This is a tip that my coach gave me. Define what your target is and then start working on the 5-10 critical steps that you have to take in order to achieve it.
Some of the things that you decide that you are going to have to do may seem extremely daunting. But, you have everything that you need to get anything that you want.
You just have to stay focused on the target and push yourself beyond where others think that you can go.
Think critically and rationally
There are only four things that are necessary to become a success in business or in life. You have to have: time, assets, people and money.
Look at your current situation and determine what you have and what you need more of. Then think 7 degrees of separation. They are all there for the asking.
Don't dwell on the things that you don't have. Concentrate on the things that you do have and you are going to feel rich long before you start seeing any results.
Time is the one thing in this list that is finite. Once it is used you cannot get it back. You only get the same 24 hours that everybody else gets. Therefore, you have got to maximize your time for maximum effectiveness.
Make a list of those people who are doing what you want to do or that you know have got your back no matter what and start to foster those relationships You want to build a community of support.
Put your time, energy and focus into the people who will support you on your success journey.
Money is always available. Sometimes though we have got to get really creative about how we are going to come up with it. For instance, I have a friend that wanted to go into an online business and actually sold her bed to come up with the money to get started.
If you are planning on doing online marketing then, the only assets that you need are a computer and a phone. Now, if you are planning to do an offline business, you are going to need to have a building, any tools and equipment that you are going to need to do the work that you are going to be offering to the customer.
You can have success if you put your mind to use by knowing where you are and where you are going and being determined to stay the path until your target is met.
