You Goals Are Stepping Stones – Not a Destination

You Goals Are Stepping Stones – Not a Destination

important as what you become by

achieving your goals.”

Salesman, Motivational Speaker     

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your goals are stepping stones – not a destination

Having written goals . . . . and achieving them can have a significant impact on your life and career. Goals are a critical element for your success journey they give you both a direction . . . . and a purpose for your success journey.

Achieving your goals will allow you to move up the ladder of success and fulfill our dreams. You can carve out a better life for yourself and for the people who are important to you.

As you move through life one of the most important elements about achieving of goals is who you become. A result of achieving your goals, you will understand that goals are stepping stones – not a destination.

Do you reach back . . . . and boost someone forward?

Are we appreciative for your success?

Do we thank your mentors . . . . and the people that have helped you along the way?

We all know that success can be fleeing . . .  . It’s what you do along the way that makes you who you become.

You will achieve your goals as a result of your efforts . . . . your determination . . . . and your persistence to remain focused on your goals.

Success is a Journey of Endurance

Success is a Journey of Endurance

“First say to yourself what you will be; and then do,

what you have to do. Life is a grindstone, whether it

wears you down or polishes you up depends

on what you are made of.”

Zig Ziglar 1926 – 2012, American Author,

Salesman and Motivational Speaker

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Success is a journey of endurance

Your success journey starts with a vision that you have for the future and the first step in the right direction.

Your dreams for the future . . . . see the things that you want to accomplish. Let those visions become crystal clear in their mind on what they are . . . . and on what you want accomplish.

Even with a crystal clear vision . . . . success can remain elusive. Why?

A dream remains a dream of what can be. It not until you decide to take action on your dreams . . . . will anything positive happen to live them. The moment that you take positive action on your dreams . . . . you start your success journey to fulfill your dreams.

Once you decide to take action on your dreams . . . . you have to create a road map to achieve your desired results.  Turn your dreams into written goals with a timeline to achieve them. Your goals become an effective way to measure your forward progress . . . . They create the mile markers to keep you moving in the right direction.

Written goals can make all the difference on your success journey hitting its mark.

Having written goals create a sense of purpose in your days . . . . and in your activities. The closer your goals are aliened with your activities the steadier your success journey will become.

Control the use of your time . . . . and the energy that you’re put into your days. Focus your activities on the actions that will move you forward and closer to your fulfilling your goals and dreams.

Wasting your time and energy moves you further away from your dreams and leaves you with a feeling of exhaustion being unfulfilled.  

Your success journey will experience many twists and turns along the way some creating an expressway and some creating a detour. No matter what conditions you face on your success journey . . . . Your conditions become temporary conditions that you’re able to adjust to or work around when you have written goals and a plan to guide you.

You have to remain focused on your objectives . . . . and many times your success journey becomes a journey of endurance. Stay strong . . . . stays focused . . . . and keep moving forward.

Success is a journey is a journey of endurance . . . . not an expressway.

do them the day will come when you can do the things

you want to do when you want to do them.”

Zig Ziglar 1926 - 2012, Motivational Speaker,

Self-Help Author

As I see it. . . . . . .

Focus on doing the things that have to be done

Today will only come around one time.

What you do with your day will impact your future . . . . and the direction that your life moves in. When you make your day a productive day your efforts will return you in the future with compound interest.

Make the most of your day do what has to be done . . . . and then do a just a little more. When you do what has to be done put your best effort into your efforts . . . . and do what you do with excellences.

Don’t put off what has to be done today for another day. Because as they say “tomorrow is another day away” . . . . and what has to be done today and is put off to another day will never get done.

Doing what’s needed to be done today, creates positive momentum in your life and career. Being proactive and focusing on what has to be done makes your days productive . . . . and helps to remove the stress from your life.

By doing what needs to be done today . . . . will allow you to do the things you want to do. . . . . when you want to do them in your future.

Focus on doing the things that have to be done . . . . and you’re focusing your efforts in building the bridge to a successful future.

Good Enough Doesn’t Cut It

Motivational Power Quote

Good Enough Doesn’t Cut It

“Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough.”

Zig Ziglar 1926 - 2012, American Author, Salesman,

Motivational Speaker

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Good enough doesn’t cut it

Good enough doesn’t cut it . . . .  and doesn’t get it done . . . . it’s becomes a prescription for mediocrity at best.

Good enough is taking the course of least resistances . . . . and attempting to get by with  minimum  efforts. A person that tries to get by with good enough will find themselves sliding backwards in their career . . . . and their goals becoming farther out of their reach.

Trying to get by with good enough . . . . becomes a destructive habit. Breaking the habit of good enough is a tipping point moment in your life and will revitalize your career and get you back onto the right path of your success journey.

When you reach a fork in the road where the choice is between good enough and doing your best make the choice to do your best.

Success is achieved when  your willing stretch yourself to do the best you can and never settle for good enough doesn’t cut it and because good enough never is.

Failure is a Detour

Motivational Power Quote

Failure is a Detour

“Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.”

Failure is a detour

Experiencing a failure can extend your success journey and may require more time and effort, but you will get to your destination with persistence.

Failure and setbacks are those things that we encounter on our success journey. How we respond to those obstacles will have a major impact on our success.

Stays focused on your objectives and find a way to navigate your way past your obstacles. 

Failure is a detour take the detour when it’s required adjust your course but stay on track to achieve your goals.

failure doesn’t break you.”

Zig Ziglar, author  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Success is a process not a single event

Success becomes within your reach with a dedicated effort to consistently work in the direction of your goals and objectives.

lies within the person

and not in the job.”

Zig Ziglar author

Don’t Allow Criticism to Become a Distraction

Motivational Power Quote

Don’t Allow Criticism to Become a Distraction

“Don’t be distracted by criticism.

Remember the only taste of success

some people have is when they

take a bite out of you.”

Zig Ziglar, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Don’t allow criticism to become a distraction


There are times that we will hear constructive criticism from caring people that has the potential to have a positive affect on our lives.


We will also hear criticism from negative people that would like to see us fail. That criticism comes from people who small and narrow minded. They will spend their energy and days trying to make people feel bad about them self. They criticize others in order to make themselves feel good.


Distance yourself from those who are narrow minded and negative. Their goal in life is not to become successful but to try to bring you down to their level negativity.


Don’t allow criticism to become a distraction, focus your energy on the positive influences in your life and use them as building blocks for the future.

What Does Motivation and Bathing Have in Common?

Motivational Power Quote

What Does Motivation and Bathing Have in Common?

“People often say that motivation

doesn’t last.

Well neither does bathing –

that’s why we recommend daily.”

Zig Ziglar, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .



What does motivation and bathing have in common?


The pessimist will say that motivation won’t last, well guess what bathing doesn’t last either, and should be done daily.


It’s highly recommended that we receive a healthy dose of motivation daily to keep us focused on moving in the right direction with passion.


Our motivations are the vitamins that keep our mind inspired with enthusiasm. Motivation keeps us at a high level of performance to achieve our desired outcome.


Without motivation we drift backwards and move further away from success with increased frustration.


When we’re not bathing daily you begin to smell, without motivation our attitude shrinks and we begin to stink. It’s best to have a daily habit of bathing and recharging your motivation.


Motivation is a driving force to focus us on our success journey.
