What if you decided today to go for IT?
You are probably asking, "what is IT"?
"IT" could be any worthwhile goal:
You want to buy a home
You want a career change
You want to make more money
You want to start your own company
You want to retire early
You want to get over a health problem
You want to be a better father
You want to be a better mother
You want to break a record in sports
These are just a few examples, your "IT"
could be something completely different. However, there is
no doubt that you have an "IT", and that your life will change
if you reach your "IT" goal.
OK, back to the question, what if you decided today
to go for "IT"?
It might mean setting goals, it might mean more work,
it might not be easy, it might be harder than not going for it.
But you know that your life would be better if you went for "IT"
and got "IT". If you reached your "IT" goal your life would be
better, you just know it, and guess what...you are right!
I challenge you right now, as you read these words to take the
plunge, to make the decision right now, TO GO FOR IT!
Because it matters.
Because "IT" can change your life.
Because success is always more difficult than
mediocrity but the rewards are HUGE!
Because you CAN do it.
Get out a notepad and pencil or pen right now.
Write down an action item list. What will you need
to learn to reach your IT goal, who will you need
to enlist to help you? This is important...right down
all of the following:
The "IT" goal. Write it down and look at it everyday.
Read it aloud and visualize yourself as already reaching it.
Play this visualization back in your mind every night
as you go to sleep. Create an incredible movie in your
mind, picture your life after reachinmg your "IT" goal.
Set a deadline, when will you reach your "IT" goal?
Make a list of steps you must take to reach your "IT" goal.
Make a list of people who can help you and resources you will need
to help you reach your "IT" goal.
Go to bookstores or library's right away and read books
that teach you how to reach your "IT" goal.
Keep track of what is working and what is failing...remember you
will learn from your failures.
Find a mentor....someone who has been successful at reaching your
"IT" goal. Model yourself after that person, learn how that person
became successful and copy their model. Do not reinvent the wheel.
If you want to quickly reach your "IT" goal, find someone who has
already done it...follow their lead, they already made many
mistakes which you can learn from.
Only tell people you love such as spouse and children about your
"IT" goal. They will encourage you and help you. Friends may be
inclined to discourage you. Why? Because they may have an "IT" goal
too, that they have never reached. What if you reach your "IT"
goal...will they be jealous?
Focus on your "IT" goal everyday until it becomes a part of who
you are.
Most important of all....make the decision to go for it. The GO
decision is the key....you must decide and you must decide NOW
.....will you decide to go for "IT"?
