What are your goals?

Okay, so if you’ve written some things, what are your goals?

Perhaps one goal might be to sell the business and get the Ferrari. One goal might be to get the Ferrari, the private plane, the beach house in four destinations around the world! How big do you want your goals to be, where are they? What are they? Do you have goals? Some people have limited goals, some people have great big goals, what are yours?

Tell me, how do you feel when thinking of goals? Do you feel silly sometimes? Many people if they’re honest feel awkward. If you do, then please recognise that feeling and let’s consciously smash that restrictive thought. You see, you’re telling yourself you “don’t believe you can have it really”, that awkward feeling tells the subconscious you don’t want it – and then you’ll never get it! So please work at this, especially if you find it hard.

I’m not saying how much you should write, I just want you to flow. Please try and get it to flow. Don’t just write a word or two try describing in full your lifestyle with colour and clarity. It isn’t merely ‘live in Spain, own a Ferrari’ it is a full description of the villa, its location, its gardens, your full lifestyle and the other toys you have alongside the Ferrari. You’ll find actually that when you do start to get it to flow, then you’ll find that you can’t stop it. But just initially let’s get used to thinking a lot deeper.

Again let me share a thought with you as we’re talking: all the people that ‘make it’, all of the ‘success stories’ and the entrepreneurs or stars of film and music…one absolutely 100% common thread is that they all knew what they wanted and were 100% focussed on getting it. There wasn’t any half hearted approach ‘well if I get it it would be nice’. There isn’t any talk of possible other careers just in case. The ones that ‘make it’ are the ones that accept nothing else as an option and are so totally committed and focussed on their goal or outcome that the universe accepts that’s what they’re are going to get and gives it to them. Clarity of focus and absolute driving energy towards a solid visualised goal are number 1 pre-requisites to your success so if you aren’t really sure about what you want, if you only have vague ideas and ‘it doesn’t really matter as long as you’re okay’ then you must do some work in this area now. DO NOT read on and DO NOT try to trick yourself that as you go along all will become clear like some road to Damascus type experience. It wont so stop now and examine where you want to be, what goals you’re aiming for and then once they are clear we can work together on how to get them.

I will remind you once again of our journey analogy…we had to think a little deeper than normal perhaps when examining where we are at now and the questions I prompted you with helped, but to continue the type of analogy…a ships course must be plotted…we know only too well what happens when it isn’t clearly charted and steered with focus – it ends up on the rocks and sinks. Fact. Your business journey is exactly the same…without clear written focus and a charted path you will drift aimlessly getting nowhere and one day run into rocks and sink. Get your mind focused and let’s look at this goal area.

Again to help you I have included a sheet to work on with questions to prompt thought but please do not read on and skip the work…that’s what you’ve always done remember!!
And if you can identify some goals then the natural question to follow is:
