This week I am going to write about one of the most powerful yet simple "pebbles of action" towards building your mountain of success. This one action step will separate you from the crowd and empower you to develop a network of people, who have a high regard of respect for you.
The action is simply using a few words of appreciation. The words "thank you" are simple but at the same time extremely powerful!
I wrote in a past issue that the difference between ordinary and EXTRAordinary is just a little bit of EXTRA. Well, as I meet people and do business, I make an extra-effort to say "thank you" via e-mail, voicemail or send a card in the mail in which people always comment how much they appreciated the "thank you". In these days of such hectic schedules with people running all over the place trying to get ahead, sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding. You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank you and how much it meant to you. Always remember the golden rule from my all-time favorite motivational book:
MATT 7:12 Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
After you finish a meeting make a note to yourself to send a timely thank-you. Simple actions reap big rewards!
I personally like to leave a voice mail message or send an e-mail message with the subject line "Thank You". Life is a journey and as you progress, the key is to establish a reputation as one who appreciates others. People will always feel comfortable to introduce you to one of their contacts knowing your past pattern has been one of professionalism and respect. You need to realize your most notable achievements in life will usually be the result of someone introducing you to one of his or her contacts.
From this day forward, always take a little pebble of action in order to build your mountain of success! "Thank you" is a fantastic place to start! I will start the ball rolling by thanking YOU, the readers of this newsletter. I truly appreciate your time and testimonials about how we have been able to help in your mission in Life. Over the past 19 months we have heard some wonderful stories about how the words in this newsletter has helped so many people.
Dopamine Mechanism Of Action
You have finally made the decision that it is time to make some changes in your life. You know that the only way things are going to get better for you financially, spiritually and physically is if you sit up and take action. You know you have to put forth the effort in order to reap the rewards.
So how exactly are you going to implement these changes? You are going to have a "plan of action".
A plan of action is crucial to your success. Without a plan it is merely a thought. When you add your thoughts to paper coupled with a desire to see them become realities and proceed to do everything possible to fulfill that desire you have a template for success.
A simple equation to use when creating a plan of action from your template is: Desire + Effort = Results.
Your first step is to write down what exactly it is you desire. Albeit wealth, personal development or whatever you so strongly yearn for that you simply can no longer go without, write it down. Make your desires realistic. For example, if your desire is to lose 20 pounds, it is unrealistic to believe you can lose 20 pounds in 3 days. However, it is possible to lose 20 pounds in 3 months with a proper plan of action. It is important to note that there should be a time frame with regards to your plan. These time frames are the milestones to marking your achievements.
Now that you know what your specific desire is, list the ways in which you plan on achieving optimum results. How do I plan to lose these 20 pounds? What do I have to do each day in order to achieve my goal? What do I personally need to do to see this plan come to fruition?
Set up a schedule outlining each step that needs to be taken daily to achieve weekly goals. Be specific. Create a daily "to do" list. At the end of the week you will be able to see how much you were able to accomplish. Congratulate yourself for each accomplishment.
Make a commitment to yourself to "Work the Plan". Stay focused on the positive. List all the reasons why you will be able to achieve your objective. Utilize the strengths you possess that will help you to complete your plan.
Know your weaknesses and make a concerted effort to overcome them. Incorporate both your strengths and weakness into your plan of action. Know what you are capable of and know what your shortcomings are.
Have your own personal reward system in place. Know what each reward will be for each accomplishment that you have fulfilled throughout your plan. With every desired result you achieve there should be a reward for having done so. An incentive plan customized to your wants.
Do not let yourself get disheartened. If you have a temporary lapse or deviation from the plan acknowledge it and continue to move forward with your plan. Keep the pedal to the metal or your nose to the grindstone, just keep on taking action. Remember, this is not a race to the finish line. Your plan is your future. Take the time to nurture and understand it.
We've all heard the adage "Rome was not built in a day". Your success regarding your plan of action will not be achieved in one day either. Success is a process and the process is something you have a long-term plan for.
"You and only you can determine if the reward is worth the price you are paying for it in effort".
