| Article Title :: From A to B in a Straight Line |
| |
| There are actions that will move you directly to your intended target and those actions that will give the appearance of producing results.Do you even know the results produced by the actions you take? Do you have a clear sense of moving closer to the target? Do you feel empowered by the activities that you undertake each day? Are you left feeling exhausted from much activity yet feel like they're a drop in the bucket compared to what you know is possible?Once during a personal development program in which I was participating, the head coach asked me to sit down with her at breakfast on one of our training weekends.I was asked how everything was going and if I was pro (read full article) |

| "Concentration — that is, the courage to impose on time and events his own decision as to what really matters and comes first — is the executive's only hope of becoming the master of time and events." — Peter Drucker, The Effective Executive• Your management team must identify its three or four strategic imperatives for the next twelve months. A laundry list of urgent goals diffuses focus, spawns unproductive "busywork," and provides enough bureaucratic cover to justify any pet project or protect turf.• Set specific improvement targets for each strategic imperative. The clearer the target, the surer the aim. "Improving customer satisfaction," "reengineering key pro (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 5 Promises that Can Take Your Life and Career to New Heights |
| |
| In 1982, the year I turned 28, I realized my life was headed all wrong. I had gone into nursing wide-eyed, thinking I could make a difference—even improve the state of healthcare. Then I bumped up against the reality that no matter how hard I worked, my efforts would never make a dent. My financial advancement was also moving far too slowly, and I was forgetting what it was like to have fun on the job. It wasn’t easy admitting I’d chosen the wrong career. I had worked hard to become an RN, earn my bachelor’s degree, then my master’s, and had worked six years in the hospital. Now my passion was dying and my potential was wasting away.That was 60 million (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Is Your Destination Clear? |
| |
| Have you ever noticed that ships operate essentially the same way people ought to, but so few do? Maybe you've never given it much thought, but at any given moment, a ship has a direction and a destination. That is, either she's sailing to a predetermined port of call, or she's in port, getting ready to sail to another one. You can ask the captain of any big, far-sailing ship where they're going, and they can tell you instantly – and in one sentence.How many people do you know who can do the same thing? It seems that most people want too many different things – or at leasy they think they want them – they're unable to focus their efforts, their minds, and their hearts on anyt (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Setting Goals and Letting Go |
| |
| Do those two thoughts seem contradictory? Can you actually set goals for yourself and your business and yet relax and “let go”?We read a lot about setting a goal for ourselves and then making it happen. And there’s usually a lot of activity and “doing” involved in working toward our goals. Letting go, on the other hand, is more of “being,” relaxing and trusting. So how can the two work together?I’ve always been a planner and a doer, but I hit burn-out in a previous business. Even though I had created a nice income in that business, I made the decision not to continue. I was physically and mentally exhausted. I had not reached my original (very high) go (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Choosing the Right Compass |
| |
| "We pass this way but once," we have heard it said. But my wife has
learned that, unless I've studied a map, that isn't necessarily true.So I understand the fix a local hunting guide got himself into. His
party became hopelessly lost in the mountains and they blamed him for
leading them astray. "You told us you were the best guide
in Colorado!" they asserted."I am," he said, "but I think we're in Wyoming now."It's bad enough to get lost in the city or in the mountains. But how much worse to get lost in our life's journey.One parent asked the clerk in a discount store if they carried any compasses. She answered, "We have compasses for making circles, but not (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Who Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? |
| |
| I have a slightly different approach to goal setting than the average bear.I’m not terribly interested in accomplishing a lot of specific tasks. I’m more interested in asking, “Who am I becoming?” and “Do I like this person?”To me, these are the essential questions, the BIG ones, if you will, for these reasons:(1) I’m not asking, “What do I want to be?” This is an occupational query, and while it’s significant, it’s not the end result we’re really seeking, as I see it.(2) I’m not focused on the past, woefully wondering “What have I become?” The game’s not over; I’m a work in progress.(3) “Who” is about overall ident (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Start Setting Goals For Yourself Again |
| |
| When we are little kids one of our major goals is to learn to ride a bike. We are so determined to ride that bike that no one can stop us! Scraped knees, skinned elbows, are all the learning curve, no matter how much you get hurt everyone keeps telling you to get back on the bike until you get it.What a fantastic way to start your life – setting a goal and having everyone behind you cheering you on until you achieve it! Too bad as we continue to travel through life we start to develop limiting beliefs.

| Article Title :: Brain-Compatible Goal Setting - How and Why Goals Drive Motivation |
| |
| It is important to write down your goals, since that action imprints them on your brain. Before writing your goals, identify what price you are willing to pay to achieve them. These may be material, emotional, or spiritual. At some point, expose your barriers and excuses; write them on a separate piece of paper. This list is not meant to be dwelled on; it is meant merely as acknowledgement – celebrate as you conquer each barrier or excuse. If you are finding it difficult to decide on what you want, you could consider what author Michael Losier advised in his book, The Law of Attraction.
He teaches a process of listing what you don't want as a prelude to ma (read full article) |
