The Magic of Clarity

You know what they say, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” And that’s precisely what we want to avoid. Vague goals will only lead to confusion, lack of motivation, and ultimately, failure. That’s why I’m here to help you set clear goals that will propel you to success.

Strategy #1: Embrace the Power of Visualization

Close your eyes and picture yourself achieving your goal. How does it feel? What does it look like? The more vivid the image, the more motivated you’ll be to make it a reality. Visualization is a powerful tool used by top athletes, CEOs, and even astronauts. If they can do it, so can you!

Strategy #2: Turn Your Goals into a Roadmap

Break down your goal into smaller, manageable milestones. This will not only make your goal seem less daunting but also give you a clear path to follow. Celebrate each milestone you achieve, and before you know it, you’ll have reached your ultimate goal.

Strategy #3: Surround Yourself with Positivity

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So, choose wisely! Surround yourself with people who believe in you and support your goals. They’ll be there to cheer you on when times get tough and celebrate your victories with you.

Don’t Wait for “Someday”

It’s easy to put off your goals and dreams, waiting for the perfect moment to take action. But guess what? There’s no time like the present! So, don’t wait for “someday” to achieve your goals. Start now, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish.

Remember, the sky’s the limit when it comes to your potential. With the right mindset, clear goals, and a little help from Setting Clear Goals, you’ll be unstoppable. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to unleash your inner executive and make your dreams a reality!

Staying Persistent to Reach Your Goals

2023-05-05 ~ adminlife

If you want to achieve your goals and become successful, one essential life skill you need to have is persistence. There are some things that you can do to help you develop your persistence and use it in your life.

If you want to read some short ebooks related to various aspects of becoming more successful, I have a number of books available at Smashwords.com

Until June 30^th, they are available at 25% off.

These are quick reads, but they give you lots of information that you can use to get you moving towards success an achieving your goals.

Have a positive mental attitude

To achieve anything that you consider important, you have to believe that you can do it. Your thinking affects your actions. Your chances of success are increased when you believe in yourself that you can do anything.

Use a mentor or coach

It can be a very rewarding experience when you find someone with the knowledge and skills that can help you achieve your goals. They can challenge you and hold you accountable which keeps you motivated and to stay on track.

Having discipline

This is a very important trait. Discipline is the bridge between goals and habit according Jim Rohn. You increase your commitment and practice when you develop discipline. This helps to keep you on course towards your goals.

Visualize

You need to be able to see how your life will change after you achieve your goal. It is also important to be able to see the big picture which is beyond your own life. How will those around you be affected when you achieve your goal. This includes you family, friends and colleagues. What will change in your relationships? When you look beyond yourself you increase the stakes and this makes achieving your goal a lot more important.

Have a growth mindset

Along with thinking positively, you also need to develop a growth mindset. With this mindset, you can cope with change and you have the ability to adjust your plans if it becomes necessary. Plans are necessary, but as changes occur and the circumstances change, you need to be able to adjust and adapt your plans.

Find a role model

Look for someone who has achieved their own goals and study how they did it. Why do you admire them? Model their habits to help you. It takes time, effort and persistence to be successful, it doesn’t just happen. It took J.K. Rowling a lot of time and lots of rejections before finding a publisher for her Harry Potter books. You can gain great insight when you read the biographies and auto-biographies of successful people. You see how their habits helped them to achieve their goals.

Know yourself

You can remove the traits that stop your progress when you understand yourself. Do you procrastinate? How do you work the best? Think about the ways that you stop yourself from achieving your goals. Then consider how you can remove or change them. You have to focus on both your negative and positive traits. Plan on how you can use the positive ones to keep you going forward.

Keep passionate

It is difficult to remain on track to your goal if you don’t have passion. It can be difficult to keep your persistence if you are not really attached emotionally to the final result.

Continue learning

It is important to have an inquiring mind. To expand your knowledge and your skills, you need to keep reading and taking courses. This will also help you to develop a creative mind that will also help you to expand your horizons.

Keep your self-talk positive

One of the biggest blocks to your success can be the voice inside your head. Think positively and turn any negative thoughts into positive ones. There are methods you can use if you are having trouble doing this.

You have some tips to help you to develop your persistence. It is important that you now take action.

Knowing Your Purpose Has Its Advantages

2023-04-28 ~ adminlife

Is it getting to be more of a struggle to get on with your day? Do you hit the snooze alarm a lot more while lying in bed in the morning? Are you less eager to start your day? You could be doing this and feeling this way because you lack purpose in your day. You won’t feel any enthusiasm if every day feels like it is just a series of things that you have to get through.

I have put together some books that talk about many areas of making your life more successful.

These books can be found at Smashwords.com and right now they are 25% off. These are easy reads and can help you in understanding why your life may not be as successful as you want it to be.

You can find these books at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/MichaelW2391

Check them out, you may find the key to improving your life.

It isn’t complicated to find a solution to the daily blues. Start by finding your purpose.

If you not sure that small changes can have a big impact on your day, consider some of the advantages that having a purpose can have on your life.

Your passions are linked to your purpose. The things that really matter to you are linked with your purpose. Just think about what you love doing more than anything else and making that activity a part of your daily life. A big part of having a purpose is exploring what excites you.

Goals are created through having a purpose. Many people live an aimless life, just focusing on getting through the day. If you want to go after a worthwhile goal and have direction in your life, having a purpose will give you a place to start and sharpen your focus.

You live your truth when you have passion. You have values that you believe in. You take daily steps that are in alignment with your values when you live your life with purpose. You do this because it is unhealthy when you compromise your values by living according to someone else’s purpose.

Your passion gives your life impact. When you work according to your purpose, what you do daily matters. When you have a purpose, you are more thoughtful in the choices you make on how you will spend your time and use your resources. When you consider your actions, you will know that what you are accomplishing is worthwhile.

Productivity increases with purpose. You lose a lot of time when you don’t know what needs to be done or even where to begin. When you are overwhelmed and lack direction, procrastination enters your life. You have a clear idea of where you are going and what you need to do next when you have a purpose. When you start to work, you are more productive.

Your day is more interesting when you have purpose. You will find yourself smiling and feeling more relaxed when you have and act according to your purpose. Working towards what matters to you gives you great satisfaction. When you know how everything contributes to the whole plan, even small, simple tasks can seem to be more fun.

When you find your purpose and include it in your planning, life can be a lot smoother, productive and rewarding.

Mistakes That Limit Your Success

2023-04-28 ~ adminlife

Is success really worth the stress, struggle and disappointment you need to go through? While it isn’t necessarily easy, success can be simple. The first step toward being successful is to recognize and avoid the mistakes that can limit success

Take control of your success

There are many things in your life that can hold you back from being successful.

Some are external and there isn’t much you can do about those. But the ones that do the most damage are the internal ones.

Your self-talk and limiting beliefs are the two main things that can hold you back.

You can try to fix these by yourself or you can work with a Life Coach.

This short video talks to these points and offers you a solution.

Having non-effective habits. There are habits that can help you to achieve success no matter what your definition of success is. Other habits can create barriers to success. What are you doing every day that brings you closer to success? What are the habits that you need to do each day to guarantee success?

Little things that are done over a long period of time make a difference. Success takes time to be achieved.

Goals that are not clear and concise. How will you know if you are successful if you don’t have a goal to aim for? Successful people have and review their goals regularly. You will be unsuccessful if you don’t know what you want.

Not having a plan. You will struggle if you live by default and have no plan or direction. You live a reactive life. You are either very passive or you are firefighting. You need to have a plan that moves your life in a positive direction.

Being busy is not the same as being productive. Your thinking is flawed if you mistake 8 hours of activity as being 8 hours of productivity. The Pareto Principle says that you will get 80% of your success from only 20% of your possible options. Many people will move toward the easier and more comfortable activities that are only going to provide a limited return on the time invested.

Choose those activities that will provide the greatest return. Busyness is not productivity.

Not being consistent. Being extremely consistent is the mark of a champion. You may not want to make a minute-by-minute plan for your day and live the same day over and over again, but you do need to be a lot more consistent than the average person if you want to be successful. Work on reaching your goals each day.

Dealing with discomfort ineffectively. To make progress you need to have new behaviors. At some level, new behaviors are uncomfortable. You find comfort in repetition, but repeating past behaviors keeps your life at a standstill. If you want to be successful, you deal with the discomfort and move forward.

A few tools that you can use to help move you past discomfort are breathing exercises, prayer or meditation and yoga. Just because you are uncomfortable doesn’t mean that you can’t do something.

Mistakes and failures are not used as learning tools. People that fail the most are usually the most successful. It is a mistake to avoid failure. Failure isn’t the objective but it is part of achieving success. Your starting point is only your first attempt at something. Making improvements uses failure as a tool.

Failure, while an undesired result, allows you to make a much better attempt the next time. Success comes from constant improvement.

Worrying about things that cannot be changed. Many things in life cannot be changed. This is true of the past. You need to be able to let go and focus on those things that you can change.

Avoiding the most common mistakes makes finding success much easier. A pivotal part of being successful is avoiding mistakes. Create the goals you want then create the habits that will support those goals. Success can be simple when you can deal with discomfort and learn from your mistakes.

Self-discipline mastery

2023-04-21 ~ adminlife

A powerful, but challenging to obtain attribute is self-discipline.

What is self-discipline? This is the ability to do what it takes to overcome any obstacles to reach your goals. You need to do this even when it is inconvenient or uncomfortable. You may have to say “no” to doing things you like, and saying “yes” to doing things that you hate. It becomes easier to stand up for yourself when you have self-discipline.

Many people want to be more self-disciplined but they won’t take the action needed to acquire it.

You start your day having good intentions but as challenges, stress and distractions arise you veer off course. You can put some strategies in-place that can help you to become a master of self-discipline to keep you on task.

Commit to the cause. You may be undisciplined but are you truly unhappy? Do you really want to improve this situation? People claim that they want to be more self-disciplined but truthfully, they really don’t mind being the way they are now.

You have to be honest with yourself. This may take a bit of time and effort to improve but it can be done if you definitely want it.
You succeed by staying committed to the cause

Write it all down. You clarify your thoughts when you write down your ideas and goals. Your mind can now come up with an action plan that you can stay with.

Look at all areas that you want to improve. This can be your finances, relationships, your carer or anything else in your life. Include the changes you want to make and what you believe is the best method to make those changes happen.

Get help from others. You have committed to make a change in your life, which is great, but don’t keep it a secret. Boost your self-discipline by telling other people about it.

In the beginning if you weren’t more self-disciplined, don’t be ashamed about it. You are taking positive action now, which is important. You will be supported and those you love will be there to celebrate your successes.
Getting back on track when you have a bad day will also be easier with your support group.

You have to believe in yourself. When you have faith in your ability to master self-discipline, you can do anything. You will have good and bad days, but you will be successful if you remain focused and committed to strengthening your own self-discipline.

Focus on the big picture and concentrate on, how when you stay committed, your body, mind and your energy will change for the better.

People who are self-disciplined are admired by many people. People that are self-disciplined can stay on schedule and never seem to lose their focus on the things that they want to accomplish. They make good, wise decisions and take the needed action to achieve their goals with ease.

When you do these actions daily, they become habits. If you want it, self-discipline can become your new way of life.
