If it is to be, it’s up to me! -Anonymous
Hello and welcome to December, the very last month of this year 2008. I think and I know that this is a perfect time to start setting your goals for 2009 and that is if you have not started doing so already?
Did you set goals for 2008?
…Did you achieve your 2008 goals? If you did not what about consulting your compass, so you can start doing necessary corrections and adjustment where need be.
Do you feel helpless?
Are you tired of living paycheck to paycheck?
Are you not tired of reading about how some guys just like you are making a boat load of cash while you are yet to make a dime and yet you have bought into every formular and system, attended every seminars and read every single ebooks that came your way.
Can you relate to any of this?
Do you know that you can take charge of your future to a very large extend?
Dear friend, I want you to join me in doing this little exercise but before I share it with you, read this short but terrible story.
A friend of my recently told me about a friend of his who work in a job that makes him to get up as early as 4am, so he can quickly get ready for work, bit the traffic and get to work on time. The worse of it all is that he can’t leave the office until about 8pm, getting back to the road he is held back by traffic and at times he just finds it difficult to get bus on time. This makes him get back home around 10.30pm most night.
What a terrible experience? But the fact remains that many are still stuck in this kind of dead end jobs.
Now, Read through the next few paragraphs, after which I will like you to suspend reading any further and trying doing the exercise for the next 30minutes or more.
Are you ready? Let go.
Close your eyes, if you have to then try and picture what you want for yourself in the next six months to one year.
For those of you working in jobs, you don’t like and conditions you won’t even wish your enemies like the one above. How will you like to walk into the office of your boss by the end of next year and tell him, “Sir, I have decided to redirect my skills, knowledge and energy? I have choosen to follow my passion, you are thereby fired!”
What about starting or growing that dream business of yours?
Imagine going on vacation to the United State or any other country of your choice by the end of next year.
What about getting the branch Manager of your bank to come to know you in person just because of the change your account will experience? I mean you having a very healthy bank account.
Imagine buying or building a new house, in one of the choicest area around town and having your parents, brothers, sisters even your friends come over. Taking them around the house …showing them the new car you just bought and finally you walk them over to your computer …punch in the URL of your first website, as it loads you turn to them and say, “Here is one of my businesses. I was able to buy this house and my car from the proceeds of this website.”
Remember, there is no limit to what you can imagine. Only the one you choose to place on your imagination. So let your imagination run wide.
Wait a minute, you are not allowed to read beyond these lines, if you have not done the above exercise.
With the above questions and exercise you should be able and ready to take a deep look at how you have spent your time, money, resources this very pasting year and start preparing yourself for the coming year.
While many wait for the beginning of a new year before setting their goals, starting early will definitely allow you plenty of time to decide what you really want to achieve come 2009.
However, if you are quite familiar with how Goals are set and achieved, you know that you have to continue to consult your compass which might lead you to doing course corrections were necessary. This is one basic reason why you must start setting your goals now, if you haven’t?
And if you happen to be among those who just find it difficult to write down their goals but rather commit it to memory, I will advice you turn a new leave today and start writing down your goals, so you can always go back to it and checkout your progress as frequent as possible, thereby making necessary adjustment where need be.
You see, I don’t think I know of any successful person that has made it over the years that is not a goal getter who keep setting, adjustment and focusing on their set goals.
Finally, I want you to know that without goals, you are just like someone who set out on a journey without any specific destination in mind.
The value of setting goals and staying focus until you hit it can not be overemphasized …More than anything else you must have the strong desire to start now and if you are still reading this I think I can feel that strong desire in you. So, while not hurry to http://www.millionaireintraining.net and check if you still have a chance.
Make sure you reserve your seat today.
It is one event you must not miss this year, as it will surely be a guide for you as you set your online goals for 2009. You will be learning a lot of things that can make a lot of difference in what you do in 2009.
See you at the event.
