We were to be discussing our goals for the month of March and beyond. I offered to lead the group, as well as to discuss Napoleon Hill's philosophy in "Think And Grow Rich".
Simultaneously, I read the Electronic book called "Discover Secrets to Achieving Total Success!"
Synchronistically, the author, Dr. Joe Capista, outlined many of Napoleon Hill's principles in the book. We were planning to discuss our business goals on the call, but I gleaned from Dr. Capista that goals must be multi-faceted.
We must focus not only on our business goals, but also personal, physical, spiritual, mental, emotional and financial goals, too.
These goals, in order to be effective, must be written every day, and reviewed both morning and evening and several times a day.
The card you carry with these written goals may be laminated and kept close to where you can retrieve it.
Be clear on what you want while at the same time, believe you can have it.
Believe you deserve to have it because if you don't believe you deserve it or that you will never achieve this thing of your dreams, then chances are very good that you will not.
Dr Capista also recommends a year end review of the goals you cherished during the the 365 day cycle. Take time with this. Savor your accomplishments. Carry forth the goals you are still nurturing into the New Year.
Never give in to someone else's doubt about what you know you can accomplish.
This bears frequent reflection.
Associate with other professionals who are more successful than you are. This helps you to increase product and service offerings, work quality as well as forcing you to raise your own standards.
Dr Capista says that you must know your market. Develop sponsorship for your product or service which will help to drive the success of your business.
When our group met via phone this afternoon, I was amazed by the superior expertise of the women on the call. I knew immediately that I was associating with more successful people than myself, across the board.
Yet perhaps I wasn't giving myself the credit I deserve. But I also recognized Dr Capista's tip that this association will help me achieve the success I so desire in my own life. I recognized that I was raising the bar to what I am able to do in this life time.
I recognized Dr Capista's insights that by staying close to these women, by focusing closely on my goals, by keeping an open mind, and continuing to learn new skills in the Internet Marketing world, I will stay on track.
I also have a group who will hold me accountable for what I say I am going to do. We are, in effect, a Master Mind group. Napoleon Hill defines this as "no two minds ever come together without creating a third, invisible, intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind."
This third mind was with us on the call, today.
Whoever you are, Bless You.
Success is generally defined as a favorable or satisfactory outcome or result. Whatever you do in your life, you get results. Whether or not those results are the ones you desired, is basically whether you succeeded or failed in your endeavors. Success is often defined as the gaining of wealth, fame, rank and so on. However, in the most general terms, success is the the continuous realization of the outcomes or results you desire.
On the physical level, success is often seen as specific material accomplishments'a particular type of car, home, status, or income level. However, once the car, home or other material possessions are obtained, there is no further growth in understanding, wisdom, or consciousness. Those who operate on this material level of success generally become consumed with maintaining those possessions that represent their success.
When success is understood on a spiritual level, it is seen as a progressive realization of a worthwhile purpose. You continue to grow and develop in all aspects. On a spiritual level, success is the continuous unfolding of your purpose and destiny.
True success is the progressive, continuous effort of attaining your goals and realizing your vision and purpose. The Nine Rules for Achieving Success will guide you to your worthwhile purpose in life.
Nine Rules For Becoming A Success
1. Do not procrastinate.
Do not wait until all conditions are right to become a success. You could wait the rest of your life. Believe that you always possess the understanding, courage and self-confidence to take action. Realize that procrastination is a state of mind.
2. Do it now.
Take the first step. There is always something you can do RIGHT NOW to move closer to your success. Use need, desire, ambition and attitude to motivate yourself to immediate action. Overcome thoughts of helplessness, limitation, lack, negativity, and failure.
3. Stand on your own two feet.
Do not depend on anyone or anything for your success. They may be depending on you. Believe that you already have everything you need to get everything you want. You should become independent as a part of your interdependence.
4. Do not fear failure.
To fail proves that you are trying. Every failure is a dress rehearsal for success. Every opportunity for suc-cess also contains the possibility for failure. Learn from your mistakes and failures. Concentrate on your possibilities for success.
5. Do not sell yourself cheaply.
You are worth exactly what you say you are worth. Know your full potential and the true value of your talents. Recognize that you are a very special individual with boundless capacity for health, wealth, happiness, love, success, prosperity and money.
6. Develop the success habit of being goal oriented.
Set realistic goals for yourself. Determine what must be done to attain your goals. Make plans for their attainment. Keep a record of your performance and achievements. Stick to your goals until they are accomplished.
7. Visualize your goals and believe you can attain them.
See each goal clearly and in great detail in your mind's eye?your imagination. Develop a sensory relationship with your goal. Know how it looks, feels, smells, tastes, and sounds. See yourself as though you had already attained your goal. Hold that vision constantly in your mind and believe that you can and will accomplish it. Know that your goal will be achieved in a timely manner.
8. Plan your work, and work your plan.
Analyze your goal. Write down each and every action that must be performed to accomplish your goal. Make a plan for its attainment. Prepare a time schedule for the performance of each action. Execute your plan in accordance with your timetable and produce desired results. When you execute your plan effectively, you attract the attention of other people who will help you in your efforts.
9. Do not quit.
To quit demonstrates your own lack of belief in
yourself. Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
