positive momentum

4/10/11
There is positive momentum and negative momentum. Are you
creating positive momentum in your life, drawing the things
you want in your life, or you pushing it away? Here are ten
suggestions (or reminders) to help you focus on what really
matters.

1. Take some time to decide what you want specifically to
clarify your future outcome. Success is seeing what you
want and taking decisive action towards your vision. What
is important to you? What is your passion? More
importantly, who will you become as a result of you
achieving your goals? How will your achievement contribute
to others?


2. Use visual reminders of your goals. Create a Vision
board and get some magazines and cut out pictures and words
related to your goals. Put them on a poster board and place
it where you can see them on a regular basis, like your
bathroom mirror, in your wallet, in your office, next to
your computer. For more information on Vision Boards go to
www.visionlounge.com and register. It's free and you can
even create a vision board screen saver for your computer.

"When the dream is big enough, the odds don't matter."
Les Brown

3. Set clear and specific goals with realistic timelines.
Write down the goal, how you will know when you achieve it,
and the date you will achieve it. Example: By 1 Dec 2011
I will be making $15,000 a month post tax income.

"The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is
too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we
reach it." Michelangelo

4. Create a To List and a Stop Doing List to use your time
wisely. Make a daily to do list in the evening for the next
day to keep you on track with your goals. Not a general to
do list like you make when you go to the grocery store, but
a defined to do list. Example: Meditation 5am - 5:15am;
Workout 6:15 - 7:15 etc. The reason is simple; you don't
want to spend a lot of time on one specific thing and at
the end of the day nothing was accomplished. Make a Stop
Doing List to keep things of less importance from occupying
your time and focus: Example: Stop watching news in the AM.

5. Take action. When opportunity presents itself that
corresponds with your goals, don't hesitate, and take
action. Many times we overwhelm ourselves by looking at the
overall goal, instead of taking it one step at a time.

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the
whole staircase. Just take the first step." Martin Luther
King Jr. Legendary civil rights leader

6. Celebrate the small success. Get into the habit of
celebrating the small successes during your journey toward
achieving your goals. Keep Score. It is in our nature to
improve our score with any physical accomplishment, apply
the same towards your goals. Imagine how you felt when you
beat your previous score and how motivated you will be when
the score continues to improve. Understand that each small
accomplishment brings you closer towards your goals.

"You have to measure what you want more of."
Charles Coonradt founder, The Game of Work

7. Fill your mind with inspiration. Read books, listen to
audio programs, and watch videos that educate, uplift, and
inspire you. Read and learn about people who have done what
you want to do.

"You will be the same person in five years as you are now,
except for the people you meet and the books you read." The
late Charlie "Tremendous" Jones

8. Find a Mentor. Find someone that would add input,
support advice, feedback, and accountability to help you
maintain your focus on your goals.

"Study anyone who's great, and you'll find that they
apprenticed to a master, or several masters. Therefore, if
you want to achieve greatness, renown, and superlative
success, you must apprentice to a master. Robert Allen, co
Author of One Minute Millionaire

9. Consistently review your goals weekly. Review your goals
weekly and assess your progress. This will add fuel to your
fire and help you maintain your focus on what matters. It
will also help you create new ideas and recognize
opportunities that will assist you towards achieving your
goals.

10. Believe it's Possible. Many times people don't set
goals because they don't believe in themselves, they are
scared of failure, and what other people may think of them
when they fail. Most people fail not because they lack the
skills, training or aptitude to reach their goals, they
simply don't believe they can achieve it. Whatever your
vision is, you can achieve it, but it starts with believing
in yourself.

"You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe
with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your
faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the
mind can achieve." Napoleon Hill Best selling author of
Think and Grow Rich.

When you take action and stay focused on what really
matters, you create positive momentum... and momentum creates
momentum bringing people and resources to help you
accomplish your goals.

This is will be your best year ever.
You are destined to succeed .
You are more powerful than you realize.
You can do anything you want.
You can achieve all your goals and more...
You can be happy, abundant and successful ...

Remember -- you only get one life and one chance.
Make the most of it. Stop defeating yourself, stop limiting
yourself. Create all the success you want and deserve in
life STARTING NOW.
