As a lifetime entrepreneur, I've read a number of books on goal setting. The dictionary defines a goal as: the result or achievement toward which effort is directed; aim; end. Interesting, very interesting. Can't agree with that totally because now that I've learned to write them down, detail my steps to accomplish them, picture them in my mind and illustrate them in different ways in my environment, I'm always revising and creating new ones. Recently after listening to some materials about moving forward in my business, the speaker asked, "How long have you wanted to retire?" and he asked it again and again and again. Want, hmmmm But when you picture it! Boy! was that not a kick in the butt! I've wanted so many things. But now that I picture them, I plan each step know what it takes to get there. Take every challenge in steps to a point where others think I'm a champion knowing good well I'm shaking in my boots but have just not given up. Whew! The awakening of realizing all the simplicities of life is earth shattering.
I no longer WANT to do anything. I see myself, HAPPY! I see myself SLIM yet bootylicious(I can't help it)! I see myself WEALTHY! I see myself in a new X6 for me and my boys and a Jaguar XFR for when Momma is riding by herself. I see myself in my house with it's 6 bedrooms and 4 and a half bathrooms, full basement, 3 car garage, and courtyard. I see myself traveling to distant lands or even just cross country when I desire, I see myself mentoring, I see myself having more time in my life to do all that I SEE! myself doing. And it starts with a plan. All that's left is how soon. And to that I say as soon as humanly possible. Let's get it done! It's just that simple.
