Find a way, not a way out.
As my friend, Tim Grahl says (paraphrased), A system is worth more than goals. A system takes action items and action items propel you towards your goals. So don’t make a list of goals, make a list of action items. Thus, you will attain goals by taking action and action alone will give you a return on investment (time and work) to a goal.
Dream big. A $1000, no dream bigger than that. How much do you want to make in a year? Then take that figure and divide by 12 and then take actions so you get paid 12 times a year to equal what you want to make in a year. Maybe you need to break it down further. Then take the yearly figure and divide by 50 (yes, plan for two weeks off a year-it happens) now you have a weekly figure to attain. Make it hard and shoot for Pluto and maybe you’ll make it to Mars or Saturn or further.
Make a mantra. Repeat your POSITIVE mantra everyday twice a day and you will believe it. If you can’t say, I’m an author (substitute here you ultimate goal). Then say, I’m beginning to believe that I am an author. Your brain will begin to believe and gives you the impetus to accelerate through to the, I am an author, phase.
Visualize it, mantra-ize it, believe-ize it, positively then do the required actions.
Inactivity is a killer. So bet active.
This is your own little mini-course on realization of big dreams.
Heck, what made me get my Bachelor’s degree while I was an adult, with four kids and a job and teaching Sunday school and being an Assistant Scout Master was this one phrase. If so and so can do it then I can do it. In my case, it was Janice, a woman from my work who was a clerk and became part of the IT department doing technical work. If she can do it, anyone can do it, even me. LOL!!!
