Ain't no stoppin' us
Have you ever said?
And then it never happens.
I have. And it doesn’t feel good.
Sometimes we start out with great intentions to accomplish something only to never see it through.
I think most of us want instant results. Unfortunately, it usually doesn’t work that way.
On the flip side, I’m sure you have achieved some goals that you were determined to conquer.
So what was the difference? Well, the reasons aren’t always the same, but here’s a few ideas to put the odds in your favor of accomplishing whatever you want.
First, write down in complete, exhausting detail what you’re determined to achieve. Everything. Completion dates, milestones, resources needed, and most importantly what will be different when you’ve achieved what you’re going after.
Aside from the satisfaction of you having done what you said you would do, how will your life be different? Will you have more customers, be more prosperous, have a broader background, or maybe be healthier?
Next, post this in front of you where you’ll see and read it every day.
Then, record yourself saying it. Your phone recorder is fine.
Read and listen to this daily until you hit whatever you went after.
It works. I’ve done it. And it will work for you.
So here’s your Action Item and Mission, should you decide to accept it: Pick a goal. Any goal to start. Make it easy so you can see how this works. Then, get after it!
Determination to hit a goal is an essential element of success. Set yourself up with this framework and put the odds forever in your favor. I’d love to hear what you pick in the comments below.
Remember, one hand washes the other and together they get clean. Thanks for watching. Have a rewarding week. And I’ll see you next time.
About Louie Bernstein
I coach Founders of B2B bootstrapped technology businesses. If you're looking to grow your business without sacrificing your personal life and health, I can help you. I know, because I have been where you are: Juggling hiring versus marketing, salespeople doing their own thing, too many hours in the office, and not enough with friends or family. I get it.
You will get a coach with four decades of B2B technology experience including 22+ founding and running a bootstrapped IT company that not only made it through five recessions but made the INC 500 along the way. My strong sales background gives you the advantage of putting sales processes in place so we can work on the big picture. I like to say, increasing sales fixes a lot of issues. To see what you get, go here.
An INC 500 winner, and the author of the effective, real-world, sales training system, How to be a Professional Salesperson.
