Quote of the Day…
Failure is Success if We learn from it…Malcom
Forbes
Most of my life I have heard the phrase, “Success is a
journey not a destination”.
This has always been difficult for a passionate and
driven entrepreneur like myself to understand.
Sure, I have adopted and heard all the statements and
thoughts that are continuously kicked around. Thoughts
like:
-
learn to enjoy the ride
-
find joy in the process not just the end goal
-
focus on the little things because one day they will become the big things in life
But, I have also found that the the end GOAL is what
motivates me the most. The reward, recognition and personal
satisfaction of achieving more has been the best driver of actions
and results in my life.
So, its been difficult to reconcile how to continue to
Dreambuild and Create a Vision of the future, while finding a way
to create Passion for the Present Moment and the “Process” in the
meantime.
Maybe you struggle with this as well. After all,
I have even promoted the statement...
Don’t let Your Vision of the Future Rob you of the
Joys of the Present Moment.
But just the other day I heard a Thought on another
Podcast that really rang home for me on this topic, and I wanted to
share it with you today.
The thought was this….BECOME OBSESSED WITH THE
PATH.
It was just a slight variation of the idea that
we should enjoy the process but it got me thinking about a way
to truly become Obsessed, Passionate, and Focused on the PATH
as much as the End Goal.
Rather than just becoming grateful for the process
or finding ways to motivate myself to enjoy the road to new
levels of success…
I think a real key for you and I is to
actually “build a process” that we can become
Obsessed with. This requires us to be intentional with our
focus and focused with our intent.
Looking back I believe there have been
many times I have unconsciously created a Path that
I could become obsessed with in my life and business, and
that has almost always lead me to massive levels fo success.
What I am focused on doing now, and I recommend you do
as well, is to “Consciously” build a path that you
can become passionate about while achieving your end goals.
There are always many ways to create a result.
What I am suggesting is that you personally craft a Path that
you CAN BECOME PASSIONATE AND OBSESSED WITH to get to your
goal.
So, How do you do this. Well, my experience has
show me that it requires several key ingredients and then
structure and discipline along with it. After all, Creating
your best life is going to require a Game plan.
Here are a few suggestions that I have for
you:
1-Make sure your path is aligned with your Unique
Talent. This is focusing your
activities around what you are "Excellent at" and
"Passionate about.”
Too many of us are working a job or running a business
we simply dont enjoy or we are not excellent at…just to make a
check.
2-Make sure your end goal or vision is in alignment
with your actual talents.
It doesn't make sense to create success
or opportunity in an area that you ultimately don't want to
end up doing long term. If you do, despite the money and
opportunity, your subconcious mind and your heart will constantly
be working against you.
I had this happen in several businesses that I made an
incredible income with but ultimately was not happy running or
being a part of. Not because they weren’t
legitimately helping other people, but because i was not
ultimately passionate about the business itself.
Also, I think it is important to also mention a few
critical factors you need to add to your Path in order to truly
become Obsessed and Successful along the way.
-
create extreme structure and discipline in your daily schedule
-
create firm accountability and feedback from mentors
-
create detailed tracking and reporting of key performance indicators
-
create periodic evaluations of your results
-
create a community, mastermind, or inner circle that aligns with your vision
-
create incentives and rewards for yourself along the way to success
When you include these disciplines in your path
and daily processes, it helps you to relax and focus
more on the present moment because you have a plan and
you are tracking all the key areas of your business.
Most of us are constantly trying to stay on top
of too much in our life and business. Put processes,
indicators and structure in place you that you can remove the
pressure of your entire life and focus more on the tasks at hand or
the people you are with in the moment.
It is my wish for you that you can begin to start
creating and living the life you were meant to live by helping you
to consciously create a PATH that you
can become Obsessed and Passionate
about.
I hope my thoughts will help you to do that.
They are definitely helping me.
