The inference is that it would be foolish to…
We all have dreams but what defines a goal is simply that the dream now has a date attached.
The most common reason for business owners and their businesses to not reach their goals is NOT through a lack of desire but that they simply haven’t defined the goals clearly.
When setting any type of goals, Be SPECIFIC – if YOU don’t fill in the blanks, it will happen anyway; it just may not be the way you’d want!
I think what makes the whole concept of setting goals in the fashion we advocate so compelling to people, is that it requires you to FREE UP your
imagination, to have some serious FUN with it.
Most of the goal setting techniques I’ve heard about take a much more rigid view of how it’s done, for instance “make your goals achievable”. The inference is that it would be foolish to “wish” for something unless you can already see the steps you will take on the journey to achieving it. The trouble with that approach is that most of us don’t really KNOW what we are capable of achieving until we open our minds to the possibilities.
BEGIN with the END in mind, to paraphrase the title of Law No # 5 in my book “Your Right To Be Rich!”.
The Wonderful thing is you don’t NEED to burst a blood vessel ‘MAKING’ it happen; this is about having a ball with your SUBCONSCIOUS mind, which works away for you at an entirely different level! And even more importantly, the mind will accept what you persist in feeding it and go into overdrive in order to make the pictures in it become REALITY! Your mind CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE between what is REAL and what is IMAGINED!
It accepts what you tell it as the truth and sees to it that this is made manifest! How does this happen? It has to do with THOUGHTS being very real forces of ENERGY, which attract ‘like’ forces of energy to themselves.
If your thoughts and your focus is weak and scattered, your outcome will be all over the place too!
Can you relate to this? If you look back over your life at times when you maybe didn’t have a clear direction and purpose…
How did it look? A bit lost… a lack of clarity… and purpose maybe.
One that most people will relate to is New Years Eve. We seem to do the same thing over and over.
We make resolutions for the coming year and get inspired and we feel the determination of this new declaration that this is the year, this year we are going to… and yet nothing seems to happen. Very few of us follow through and see the success we desire.
Why is this? As I already said if your thoughts and your focus is weak and scattered, your outcome will be all over the place too!
So the CLEARER the picture you have, the more SPECIFIC you are with both the vision you have and in the way you articulate your goals, the more exact will be your outcome.
It needs to be SPECIFIC. Form a CLEAR picture in your mind and hold on to it and take the steps necessary to make it happen.
All the best,

Thanks Mal! Yes who is to say what is ‘reasonable’ or ‘achievable’. Amazing things have been done when people decided not to be reasonable. Where can I get your book?
