Goal SettingWe all have wishes. Wishes are goals, but goals with a
little snap, crackle, and pop. Goals provide the process
that can take you where you want to go, but too often they
don't provide the inspiration to get you there. Wishes are
different. They have impact - like being struck by
lightning instead of by a lightning bug. They let you
dream. They let you soar. They let you tap into a source of
limitless possibility and boundless energy that gives you
the power to accomplish what you...
What is the key to success? There has been enough written on that subject to fill the Grand Canyon. Is there any one factor that can make or break a business? If there is one key factor to ensuring success, is it available to everyone? Does it involve money, background, education or something each one of us can possess and utilize?Loving new challenges I've undertaken various business ventures, some with success, while others fell by the way side. In the recent year I have extended these...
At an executive retreat, a consultant expert asked the assembled leaders, "Why do you get paid?" After listening to a variety of responses, he revealed his answer: "Leaders get paid for making decisions." He is right, to a point, but the message he sent was a dangerous one for leaders to hear.Sure, leaders make decisions, but if they think of themselves as decision-makers, that is what they will be. Not leaders. Decision-makers organize their universe around problems. In general, they seek...
Stop for a moment and dream. That's it, just close your eyes and imagine life the way you really want it to be. No stress, no problems, your needs met, relationships healthy... it's your dream. Now comes the hard part--why can't your dream become a reality? It's a simple question with a complicated answer.Many people have the idea that work is something to be hated. You give 40 years of your life in service to a corporation that is looking for ways to get rid of you before your pension...
Do you cringe when you think of making new year's resolutions? Each year many of us plan big changes for ourselves. We finish up the year in a flurry of holiday excitement and stress, then begin to plan to start our new year off on the right foot! No more of the same old! So, we diligently set resolutions. We resolve to eat better, exercise, stop smoking, spend more time with our families or even get a new job. Whatever it may be, we have the best of intentions and we are determined...
Stumbling block or stepping-stone, how do you view last year's failures? Take ownership and personal responsibility for any career derailments. Pack your own parachute instead of leaving your success to others; that was the thrust of Part One of this series. Perform root-cause analysis of why certain goals were not met and identify patterns that caused the derailments. Keep in mind though, the block of granite which is an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, becomes a stepping-stone in...
Around this time of the year I love to ask people what their New Years resolutions are. Usually, the response I receive is that resolutions do not work so there's no point in making them.There is a reason why New Years resolutions rarely work. Call it a matter of linguistics. Notice, people want the resolution to work. For a resolution to become a reality, it is the person who must work, not the resolution.Stating your resolution is just the starting point. Like any goal, the path to...
2005 disappeared at a speed that quantum physics is yet unable to explain. Thank goodness I had a goal to achieve!Let me start by saying I don't do new years resolutions. I do however like to set goals that are practical, measurable, and achievable. I share them with others so I feel a sense of commitment. Last year I established a goal to run at least 5km (3 miles) every other day. I had just gotten back in to running after a "brief" 25 year absence and thought this would be a good challenge....
When a whole lot of things are not going your way, it can be quite difficult to find a bit of optimism, seemingly impossible, in fact. But hold on, do you remember the old "is the glass half-empty, or half-full" adage? Well, it serves a dual purpose. If you find yourself thinking that "the glass really is half-empty," it serves as a wake up call to the need for an attitude adjustment. On the other hand, if you think "the glass is half-full"--then you've just touched on another of the natural...
To dream is the first step to create a successful career. First you dream, then you build with confidence. Dreams are like seeds. Even after sowing them you need to nurture them for a long time so that they may bear the fruit of success. Many persons fail to achieve their goals because they sow the seed but don't have any action plan to help the seed grow into a big tree of successful career. Never forget that action is the key to the door of fortune.1. Set Realistic GoalsWrite your...

Lately I have been studying mindset and goals, and wanted to share a Success story in our family.Our 3 year old Quinn is potty training, and has had a huge goal to get "Gordon the tank engine".
We were having a hard time getting him accustomed to the idea of using the toilet, until one day we went to Barnes and Noble.
Was it a book on Potty training you might ask????
No!!
We were looking in the Kids section, and up on the top shelf, Quinn eyed a Gordon Engine toy.
Quinn has always...
