That's a great question. I have to say I have none...sad, but true. I've never been big on New Year's Resolutions, but it makes sense to have one. Starting today (why wait?) I am crafting a formal plan that I will update on a monthly basis. The plan will have aspects of my career goals, my work goals, and my life goals. I'm not sure what would be the best way to capture the information, so I will start with MS Word and simply cut/paste the previous entry so I can see changes over time.
I agree Mike that this question is great because it forces you to look deep within yourself to first find out how do you define success but most importantly how do you continue to overcome obstacles when the going gets ruff. I personally needed to evaluate all the key areas of my life that I would like to be successful in: 1.professional/finacial, 2. physical, 3.mental/educational, 4.social, 5.spiritual, 6.family. Once I have Identified where, when, how and why I can be successful. I would set up a system of long, intermediate and short term goals to achieve my targets. I see that you are moving in a very positive direction and I am very proud of what you have achieved so far. Continue to shoot for the stars Mike.
Mike,
I always ask the question, "what would I do if I knew I couldn't fail?" and then I go for it. There are so many times when we serve as our own enemy or wall that blocks the path to our success. WE get in our way. We need to give fear and doubt a swift kick in the...
We have to free our minds. Carter G. Woodson tells us "If you can control a man's thinking you don't have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have to worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don't have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on is own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand you build one."
My goal for this book at the moment is how to better my business. So I will be answering questions with that in mind. Now to answer the question, I actually was asked this over the weekend by a friend that I follow on Twitter. So, for this to be the first question in the book I find it to be kind of ironic. I was asked the question but I didn't immediately write down any answers. I let it soak in. Then even as I wrote the answers and completed them all the next day I had the best motivation tool for myself. My main motivation is my two kids. The reason they are my motivation is because many people give up on their dreams once they have children. They had goals and aspirations that they had always dreamed about but figured since there is kids now they had to set their dreams aside or give up on them all together. I once asked a friend why they took a certain job? It just didn't seem to be that interesting to me. They went to this job day after day, year after year. He told me because I have a child and I needed to support her. Ever since he told me that I vowed that I would never settle because of children. I love my children and I am cautious as to how I approach success and my dreams but to fully set them aside until later or just simply give up would make me feel very worthless. I would feel worthless because at the end of my life if I had to ask myself why did I never go after my passions, I didn't want to answer and say it was because I had kids. I want to be able to say I went after what was in my heart and I wanted to still be a success. Mediocrity is not in my vocabulary. That really is my system. I am simply motivated to be successful because of other people giving up and people telling me I can't. I refuse to believe I can't just because you won't!
