Do you keep starting work on a goal, resolution or project - and then quit?
That's not a good recipe for success.
Don't get me wrong, I've been there and done it too. We all have.
It can be hard to stay excited, enthusiastic, motivated and focused when you're working on your goals.
But here's the thing...
If you're going to achieve your goals and reach your true potential you have to find SOMETHING to keep you going, moving forwards.
Too often, people start off well with great intentions and then this happens...
They get to work, hit the first hurdle and imagine this is how it's going to be. So their focus goes from their goal to the hurdle, and the hurdle is all they see in their future.
It's no wonder they get frustrated! They feel sick to their stomach with self-doubt. So they quit.
That's not a good system to keep working with - it'll lead you nowhere!
You need to know how to MOVE BEYOND THAT REACTION and move into a state where you feel you want to press on with your goals' trajectory NO MATTER WHAT!
"Lee, I want to stay on track, please give me something here!"
OK, here's what you need to do.
You need to have a COMPELLING FUTURE.
What I call *A Recipe For A Lovely Day* (just like in the Paul McCartney song ;)
A vision for yourself and your life that absolutely COMPELS you to take action - no matter what!
And you need to have it READY at all times.
Practice it. Rehearse it. Try it on for size. Shape it. Adjust it. Make it GREAT.
Bring it into your mind now. SEE how it looks, HEAR how it sounds and FEEL how it feels.
It must be ingrained, imbedded into your very core!
Why?
Because then, even if you don't feel like overcoming an obstacle, you will be compelled to forge forwards, onwards towards your vision - it is THAT compelling!
You will find yourself forging forwards, onwards, towards that inevitability no matter what!
So where do you want to be personally, professionally, financially, etc?
It might not be absolutely clear right now, but at least start to get a sense of how you'd like you life to turn out. What would be compelling for you?
Make it so great for you that it compels you to START work on it today... CONTINUE on it tomorrow... and KEEP GOING each day after!
It's a big driver that will move you FAR BEYOND QUITTING and help you succeed.
Sounds great, right?
So create one!
Your Coach,
Lee Dixon
