People who achieve their goals usually don’t limit themselves. They allow their imagination to flow freely and they think and dream big. Your future is created by what you do today.

One of the main things goal achievers know is that they don’t have to do it all alone. They can delegate, they can get support from a coach a mastermind group or have a team who work with them and they are not afraid to reach out for help when needed.

Always make your goals wants, not needs! If you have food on the table, a roof over your head and enough money to live you don’t really ‘need’ much more, however if there are things you would like to have or do that will take some money then you will want to set goals to achieve them.

Make them very specific. Imagine the goals completed. Feel the feelings. Hear the sounds around you. Especially if it’s money you would like.

Write them so that the mind can create them. Writing gives the goals power and energy which is what the world is. It’s all about energy.

I suggest choosing 2 short term goals (3-6 months) and 2 long term goals (1-3 years).

It’s important that you see them on a consistent basis. Don’t just rely on having them on your computer or smart phone. I usually suggest taping them on the bathroom mirror and the refrigerator even on your desk.

OK, so now you have your goals. Next comes a plan of action. Without having a plan of what you are going to do to reach where you want to go you might slip off the goal achievement path. A plan keeps you on track. You need a business plan that includes a section on marketing. If you visit www.yourstairwaytowealth.com you will find a simple plan that you can download for free.

Always write the goals as if they have already happened. Your subconscious doesn’t differentiate between reality and wishful thinking, if you write it in the now it records the goal as having happened.

Example: It is now December 31st, 200?. I have X amount of dollars in saving and X amount of dollars coming in on a consistent basis and I know this because I’m looking at my bank statement.

Example: It is now December 31st, 200?. I am looking in the mirror seeing myself in my new size ?? clothes and I feel fantastic. (don’t use actual weight if it’s this goal)

Throw out all the negatives. You don’t need them. Think realistically but also think bigger than you’ve ever thought before so it’s a little bit of a stretch.

To allow for your thinking to stay positive, I encourage you to think about what you already have in your life and in your business. About the goals that you may have already achieved whether big or small and how great your life is becoming each day. Move toward your goals.

Keep a success journal and each day write down 5 things that you feel were successes during that day. They can be big or small, in any area of your life. If you take action of any kind it’s a success. For example, there are times I’d love not to bother to take off my make-up before going to sleep but I do and that counts as a success.

I can’t promise you magic however if you set the goals, make a plan and take action the Universe will work for you and magic will happen.

“In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.”- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Simplicity! Such a lovely little word! If we can make life and business about being simple people wouldn’t have overwhelm or stress and there would be much less fear. There wouldn’t be a place for looking at how green the grass is on the other side of the fence or how much someone else has and how little you have.  There wouldn’t be envy, there would be peace.

Whether it’s in your personal or professional life work toward making your days simple and relaxed instead of stressful.    This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive to achieve goals, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t want more money or a better car it just means be thankful for every day you have and take one step at a time.

There really isn’t any rush. Allow your life to be more like a river, let it flow and enjoy being where you are now.  New experiences can and will happen if you have patience.

Trust that if you have goals in place and a vision plus taking the necessary action you will open doors and attract to you what you want.

Have a wonderful week

“Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one-yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown.” - H. Ross Perot

Don’t let this happen to you!  If you’re stuck step back and look at what you might do to move forward more powerfully.  Ask yourself questions!  For example:

1. If I keep doing the same thing over and over will things change?
2. Will doing this give me financial security?
3. Do I like things the way they are?
4. Is it in alignment with my values and passion?
5. What do I need to do to keep moving forward?
6. Do I need more support and motivation?

Often just asking the questions and coming up with answers will allow you to move into a different space and different frame of mind.  Remember to write down the answers and keep them in front of you so that if you start procrastinating again and think about giving up you know what you need to do to step up to the plate.

“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” ~Robert McCloskey.

Have you ever said something and it was taken completely out of context and got misunderstood by the person you were saying it to?

This happens more often than you probably know but it’s easy to change.

I’ve done this a few times over the years and people sometimes took things completely the wrong way.  This sometimes happens in relationships, which is why therapists often use and teach the mirroring technique.

If someone says something to you and you are not 100% sure they meant it the way it was said always mirror back to them by saying, “Let me make sure I understood you correctly.  Did you say (repeat back to them what they said) and did it mean (whatever you thought it meant.)  When this is done it leaves no room for doubt.  This is really important when you are in business so think about the words you are using next time

You have a conversation or work with a client.

PS. I’m hosting a special “Master Mind Morsel” 90 minute call on May 17th. This special group is open to only six people so there’s time for 1-1 coaching with me and a taste of the power of master minding with a group of your peers.

Marketing is probably one of the most important aspects of your business. Without promoting your business you can’t sell products, programs or anything else so having plans in place should be a top priority for you so you can create the success you want.

There are many different avenues in marketing but the most important is to spend time each day in the process of marketing. If you only spend a few hours a week on marketing your business it’s unlikely you will reach your goals. You really need to be spending 2-4 hours daily marketing your business in one way or the other. This is a top priority.

Create the actions you are going to take, the avenues in which you are going to market and then create the plan.

If things feel like they are too big chunk them down into smaller pieces and take one piece at a time.  Some of the ways in which you can market and grow your list:

These are just some of the ways.  Now think outside the box and see what you can come up with that might be different and make a list.

“One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.” -   Maya Angelou

Becoming an entrepreneur and not having a regular paycheck can be a huge challenge and often there are obstacles along the way. However, it shows you how much power and courage you have if you are willing to take the risk and use your untapped potential so you can achieve what you are truly capable of.

You have an inner brilliance and sometimes we are not aware of this.  You have a talent that is yours alone.  You deserve to have all the joy, love, fun and freedom you want in this life.

If you are not where you want to be get really honest with yourself and tap into the courage I’m sure you have that is sitting there waiting to be used.

“The value of an idea lies in the using of it.” – Thomas A. Edison

How many times have you had an idea and not done anything about it?  If you have a desire to create something or go somewhere don’t worry about the ‘how’ just make a plan and take action.

One of the things you will often hear from old people is that they regret what they didn’t do. You don’t want this to ever be you!

Next time an idea pops into your mind, maybe about creating a new product or travelling to a new place or launching a new program just do it.  What’s the worst thing that can happen?  You certainly won’t die but you might have regrets if you don’t do it.

Life is about living joyfully and having fun so make that your goal.

We all have a gift but often it’s hidden. It could be that you don’t even know exactly what it is or when it does come into your conscious mind you push it away because it’s too scary to see where it might go.

If you are not where you want to be in business or life something is going on that you are not allowing to come to the forefront of your mind, therefore you are probably hiding it. By taking regular action, it allows this brilliance to come into your consciousness so you can use it not only to help yourself but also to help other people.

1. First ask yourself: If I keep doing the same old, same old, will my life become the way I want it? This will give you one of your most important answers so you can take the necessary action.

2. Make a commitment to yourself to open up your energy to allow the Universe to work for you. Ask yourself if you are willing to make a real commitment to yourself or are you just going to say the words. Share what you intend to do with someone else and ask for support.

3. Keep an ongoing journal so that thoughts and feelings don’t get stuck inside and hold you back. This could be done just when you want to get stuff out of your head or you could do this as a regular business/life routine.

4. Write 3-4 positive affirmations and gratitude’s daily. Even if you do nothing else write the gratitudes, it really does create mind change. Don’t type into your computer, actually use pen and paper!

5. When you speak, listen to the words you use. Words have a great deal of power and usually what you speak is what you are thinking. Thoughts = words = emotions = Results in life! Your mindset plus focused action creates the results you achieve in business! Speak positively = think positively = live a life of power, success and brilliance.

6.  Life is not about being perfect, it’s about one step at a time. Keep moving forward. I can almost promise that if you use these simple tools, within a very short space you will find that you are attracting what you want in life. I can’t promise miracles, however miracles do happen.

7. Make sure you are working and living in an environment that feels good to you. When you are surrounded by peace it allows peace and creativity to flow. One flower in a vase can make a huge difference to the feeling in your space as can the color on the walls. Have a comfortable chair if you sit in front of a computer for a long time. Every little thing you do to make your environment feel really great can make a big difference.

8. Last but not least. Don’t hold onto the past. Regrets are a waste of energy. Look at everything that might have happened in your life as the greatest learning experience the Universe has provided in order to help you to be the truly powerful, brilliant person you are.

“Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” –  Mark Twain

In my experience more often than not, the reason people don’t achieve success in business and in life is because they are holding on to old negative messages that are sitting in the subconscious and those messages are impacting their lives, relationships and business.

Success is how you perceive it however to achieve success in any area of life it’s very necessary to let go of the past, be honest about your subconscious thinking and  surround yourself with people who support and encourage you to go for what you want to achieve.

However if you share your dreams with someone and they put it down and say that’s ridiculous or that’s not possible or you’re thinking too big or any version thereof it might stop you from pursuing the goals you want to achieve.

Don’t allow anyone to steal your dreams.  Set goals, take action and believe in yourself. Do this and absolutely anything is possible.

Have a Fantastic Week

To Your Success and Brilliance

For those of you who follow me you probably know I’m not too good at writing regularly. I am going to do my best to write a little more often.
Today I could not resist.

I’ve been having some health issues recently and being 71 next week I no longer shrug things off so easily and have had to have some tests done.Today I was at the hospital having blood tests and on the prescription from the Dr. I noticed I’d never seen the names of these tests before so I said to the nurse taking the blood, these seem unusual what did the Dr. ask you to do. His answer “I don’t want to tell you because it might frighten you.” What! That’s what I call lack of common sense. Would it make me more comfortable if he said I’m not allowed to say, or tell me the truth or if I was a worrier which I’m not, that with the answer he gave I could now worry for the next 5 days until I hear the results!

Whatever situation you might find yourself in always watch the words you use. Wait a beat before you answer a question from someone so you use the most appropriate wording and be careful how you say things to people so you don’t upset them.

These are just suggestions but after today I realized way too many people still don’t get that there are appropriate ways of doing things and inappropriate ways.

Happy Easter.
