If you could go anywhere, where would you like to go? Not in terms of vacations, but in your life. Your answer to that question does a lot to determine whether or not you’re successful. You see, we’re all on a journey, whether we know it or now. We are traveling inevitably toward the ends of our lives. So the real question for us is whether we’re going to select a destination and steer a course for it, or allow ourselves to be swept along with the tide, letting others determine where we’ll end up. The choice is entirely up to us.

Everyone has an idea (or 100)! Ideas are easy.
Innovation is better. Figure out a way to improve or innovate.
But the best of all is execution. What can you get done? What did you complete? No one can ever take execution away from you.
What are you executing on today?
People will be your greatest asset in life. You can’t do everything on your own.
This is something I’ve struggled with for a long time. I’m great at just taking on responsibility and doing it on my own.
But a smarter way is to ask for help. There are people out there who want to help. All you have to do is ask!
I’m often asked how to get more clients and how to grow your business. The BEST way I know is to be incredibly good at what you do. Notice I didn’t say the easiest way. Being this good requires time, effort, commitment, passion and determination.
Most people won’t make an effort to be that good. They’ll want to, but they won’t do what it takes.
If you can be better than those people, then you’ll have all the clients and business you’ll ever want.
Yes, it’s really that easy!
Are you ready for the week ahead? Spend some time today preparing for the week will ensure you are more productive during the coming week.
Some of you will disagree with me on this. You’ll tell me that it’s not personal, it’s business. But you’d be wrong.
Here’s what the legendary James Altucher
Nobody succeeded with a great idea.
Everyone succeeded because they built networks within networks of connections, friends, colleagues all striving towards their own personal goals, all trusting each other, and working together to help each other succeed.
This is what happens only over time. This is why giving creates a bigger world because you can never predict what will happen years later.
So being successful is ALWAYS personal. You need to build up people in order to become successful

You have to figure out what you want. If you don’t, you’ll only have the leftovers from everyone else who did!

It’s a new week … What are you going to accomplish? Don’t let your fear hold you back.
Even though it’s the weekend, stay focused on your goals. Don’t let the weekend be a reason to get unfocused.
So let me get straight to the point. This post is all about Goal Setting! I’m a huge goal setting. Once I started to really set and work towards goals in my life, everything got better!
With today being the first day of 2015, I’m going to guess that many of you are setting New Years Resolutions. Awesome!
Here are 7 Steps to help you make 2015 your best year yet!
You’ve likely heard the acronym for SMART which stands for
S – Specific (Be Very Clear on what you want to accomplish)
M – Measurable (It needs to be something you can measure)
A – Actionable (Be in Actions. Start your goal with an action verb)
R – Realistic (Push yourself, but also ensure it’s something you can accomplish)
T – Time-bound (Set a deadline)
I learned while taking Michael Hyatt’s Five Days to your Best Year Ever course the E & the R of this acronym
E – Exciting (This has to get your juices flowing!)
R – Relevant (Be sure it fits into what’s important to you in your life)
Be sure your goals meet all of these criteria.
You’ll never be able to accomplish your goals if you’re still holding on to your issues from the past.
Nothing will sabotage your goals more than uncompleted business. Your internal self talk may convince you that you can’t achieve your goal or aren’t worthy to do so.
Stop it!
Get complete with unfinished business. Is there something you know you need to say to someone else so you’ll feel better? Is there a project you haven’t completed yet? Whatever it is, now is the time to get complete!
You’d be shocked at how many people don’t write down their goals. Writing down your goals cements them in your conscience. You now have real intention to accomplish the goal. It’s also a point of reference to remind yourself of what you set.
I have a good friend who tells me he has a new goal every time I see him. However, he rarely accomplishes any. Why? Because he never writes them now and he’s never focused on accomplishing them.
Writing down your goals will help you be focused on doing the work necessary to accomplish them.
This is perhaps the most powerful step. Setting goals are important, but being clear on why you set that goal is perhaps even more important.
At some point while working towards a goal, you’re going to hit what @MichaelHyatt calls the “Messy Middle.” This is where you are far away from achieving your goal and may be questioning if its still a worthwhile endeavor. You’ll need to refer back to why you set this goal to begin with.
I refer to my why’s every week when reviewing my goals. This keeps me focused and driven to accomplishing my goals. Remember: The Why is the reason to accomplish the goal!
This is the perhaps the most powerful step to help you in accomplishing your goal. Don’t count on your memory here. Instead, review your goals on a regular basis.
At the very least, review your goals each week. Schedule a good 30 minutes or so where you can review each goal, measure your progress towards it, then plan and schedule next actions.
If you don’t do this, then at the end of the year, you won’t have accomplished what you set out to do. Review on a regular basis.
Once you’ve set a new goal, immediately take action on it. This doesn’t have to be a major step, but at least do something.
If you’re goal is to read a certain amount of books this year, then read your first chapter.
If you’re goal is to lose a certain amount of pounds, then schedule you’re workouts for the coming month.
You get the point. Get in action immediately! Do something!
I give credit to Chalene Johnson & Michael Hyatt for teaching me this one!
When you create a set of goals, determine one that is your ‘push’ goal. A push goal is the one goal on your list that if achieved would make all or most of the other goals possible or easier to achieve.
So determine which one of your push goal, then focus your attention here.
