Goals Get You Going by Les Brown
Take These 3 Practical Steps
Goals give you a purpose for taking life on. People who live without goals have no purpose and it is obvious even in their body language. They are on permanent idle; they slouch; they list from side to side. Their conversations dawdle. They telephone you: "Hey, I'm just calling. I wasn’t doing anything, so I thought I'd call you." Well, don’t call ME. I'VE got things to do.
Many people just muddle through life. They don'’t read informational material, they don’t even pay attention when they WATCH television. If you ask them what they are watching, they mumble-mouth, "Nothin', I'm just lookin’."
What are your goals for your career? For your relationships? For your spiritual life? Develop a schedule for the next month, the next six months, the next year, five years and ten years. Write it all out.
Let’s take one of the most common goals: You want to make more money. If that is your goal, then take some practical steps toward realizing it.
- First, determine specifically how much money you want to make. Then, double that amount and make THAT your goal. Even if you don’t reach the higher amount, you will probably still find yourself making more than your original goal.
- Second, decide the amount of energy you are willing to expend to reach your goal. How many hours are you willing to work a day? How many jobs are you willing to hold down? What sort of work are you willing to do?
- A third step in this process is to develop a practical plan of action and get started immediately. Chart out where you want to be in relation to your goal in the next month, six months, one year, five years and ten years. Get started today. Go apply for that second job NOW! Go enroll in that career training program NOW! Ask for that raise NOW!
And finally, make sure that you have all of this written down so that you can review it every morning and every night and envision yourself taking these steps, DOING THEM and SUCCEEDING!

Close Out Your Year the Way the Successful Close Out Every Day
Remain Firmly Grained and Indoctrinated in What You Do Well
As you close the book on 2009 you want to find some places where you can congratulate yourself and some places where you can really acknowledge yourself for some progress you have created, or some of the ground that you broken even if your results haven’t quite caught up with your personal growth as of today.
Take just a moment and bring one moment to life, a moment of meaning that happened in your day, week or month of 2009 that created real significance for you. One example that showed you are on the right track. It can be as simple as connecting with the right people or learning a new skill, just one golden nugget.
What has changed and what confirms that you are on the right path as an entrepreneur as you charge into 2010.
Sometimes it is very easy to get caught up thinking about all of our goals/aspirations/ dreams but maybe 2009 is not the year those came true for you. This may not have been your most successful year in business but create some clarity about what you have learned from this year. What are some of the experiences you’ve had an opportunity to be part of this year? What have you learned from them about business, about yourself, about marketing and especially about sales?
Highly effective people do on a daily basis. It is one of their habits and it is one of the reasons they continue to create such huge successful years, year after year after year. It is done with great repetition on a daily weekly monthly annually basis and allows them to have the kind of focus to create consistent results.

Quit being so dang hard on yourselves. Niche hunting should be fun, should be ad hoc, and should be a habit if you are a marketer.

When I started out in this industry and realized how much I would be spending talking to people you can believe me, I lost all interest.
It wasn’t talking to people that was the problem. That’s easy, I have no issue striking up conversation. I know how to be real. I have a real life, with real bills. I have a real desire and a real passion for my WHY. And most of all, I have no time to waste. For real.
