Mid-Week Motivation "Get out of the safe zone and get in the faith zone-" Joel Osteen

As we look at the final 60 days of the year we need to ask ourselves, Where are you living today? Every New Year we all set resolutions and goals for the year. It’s time to revisit those goals one more time.

If you are on track to meet your goals congratulations!!!! You are on your way towards achievement and a successful year. Not to say the rest of are not, because there is still time.

All things are possible when we challenge ourselves and work towards our capability, not just enough to get by. I posted this quote from Joel Osteen because this is often why we stay stuck in the same situation. Fear holds us hostage and causes us to remain complacent. How can we leverage this quote to overcome fear?

The answer is find something you believe in. If you want a degree because you believe it will make you more money, go for it. Want to start a business to have more control, do it. Or simply do more of something to produce a result, for example a sales rep might make 20 more contacts a day. The point is when we allow our belief system to occupy our mind we began to have faith. Faith causes us to overcome huge obstacles and remain optimistic. Faith is what religion is based on and it has the ability to change lives.  

So lets take a page from our spiritual lives and have faith so we can finish this year as close to our goals as possible…what you believe, you can achieve!

Mid-Week Motivation. The Power of Doing.

Midweek Motivation!!!!

The power of doing. Recently I have been talking with many successful individuals.  In my conversation I’m looking for what makes them successful.

Last week we found that true confidence in “knowing” lies great power. Today I wanted to discuss the “doing.”

How do things get accomplished? You go out and do it! But what do I mean?  Well when a successful outside sales rep started calling on business’s they circle the block a few times. Because of the fear. When the rep started walking in to business’s she realized, “What was I scared of?” She soon learned that the more she did the work, the easier it got and more her commission grew.

The way we get over fear and achieve any goal is doing. Drafting a plan and actually working it. I have learned that the doing is important to overcoming, otherwise we stay stuck. Sounds simple, but how many times have we not hit a goal simply because we didn’t “DO” it. You need to ensure everyday your actually doing those activities that produce the goal!

If you have a goal, no matter how large, start today! Even it it’s small, do something. The small things lead to big things. Began doing and you’ll be on your way to achieving.

Mid-Week Motivation. Is it all in knowing?

We all know that successful person who has all the confidence, charisma and smarts. They seem to have a response to everything and we often seek their thoughts or approval. What makes them so sure?

Lately I have been thinking about this much. I have read many books, see my reading list on linkedin.com/in/nmsmallbiz, and done much soul searching. I KNOW I have part of the answer.

The answer is simply this: Confident and Successful people know they're Confident and Successful!!! I know your asking, thats it? The answer you came up with was this? This helps me not one bit.

Give me a chance. I have found on mornings when I say out loud what I WILL, not TRY, to accomplish today I get done. The other day I said I was going to make a certain dollar amount. By the end of the day...I had it. I said I hope the next day...and I still don't have it. 

Point is this; Know your confident, Control your thoughts, change your end result! So let's set ourselves up for success by first knowing...than doing. I KNOW soon you'll be the person you thought when you read my first line. 

I dare you try this!
