Begin by deciding where you want to be. Goals and strategies come before tactics every time.
If you don’t know where you’re going… you’ll end up going nowhere.

Friday, May 18th, 2012The rope theory of life.
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012Everyone gets a rope.
Some are shorter than others. Some are thicker than others. Some have notches. And others are a little bit slippery.
Each of us has a choice.
You can either climb up the rope, dangle on it, or hang yourself with it.
What have you chosen to do?
Just imagine what the world would be like if all of us spent a lot less time examining the rope we were given… and a lot more time examining how we’re going to climb up them.
A refresher on setting goals.
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011It’s 2011. Have you set your goals yet?
Someone once told me, “if you don’t know where you are going, you’ll probably end up going nowhere.”
So each year I like to start off with a blank sheet of paper and a cup of coffee in a quiet room to think about where I’m headed. I think about what I want to achieve. What I want for my family. What actions need to be taken in order to achieve my goals. I work backwards beginning with the end result and what needs to be done to get there.
I recommend you do it too. Remember, success IS the pursuit of a worthy goal. So, if you set your goals and begin to move toward them, by this definition you will be successful every step along the way.
Here are some important things to consider as you go about setting your goals:
1- Be realistic. Are your goals attainable?
2- Be specific. Use numbers to quantify what you would like to achieve.
3- Measure your achievements. You cannot improve upon that which you do not measure.
4- Set a timeframe. A goal with no end date is like a football game without a time limit. The game has to end sometime.
Have a great year!!
