Shock Your Plan And Bring Success To Life
Copyright 2004 by Shannon Herod
Your Success depends on it and most refuse to do it. I have
often wondered if one single action repeated daily could
shape the path of success. Yes it can and here is why, any
positive action repeated on a daily basis will produce
positive results. Now to grow your business you need to
target positive actions that are business oriented. The one
thing I do every day is plan. That one single action has
changed my business drastically.
Plan your year, month, week and day and you will be amazed
how your business will explode.
I learned this lesson when I was 16. I wanted to go to the
beach but had no clue haw to get there. Being the macho man
that I am, I decided I would just jump in the car and wing
it. I mean I have been there with my parents and if my mm
can find the beach this is going to be easy. Needless to
say I never found the beach, wasted a full tank of gas, and
the girl I was seeing hooked up with some surfer guy.
If I had only taken the time to plan a rout I would have
made it to the beach and all would be fine. Like most
marketers today I let my excitement over whelm me and just
started driving aimlessly to a destination without knowing
how I was going to get there. Make a success plan and find
you're what to financial freedom!
Where Do You Want To Go?
To make a success plan you first must figure out were
exactly you want your business to go. I want to be rich
just wont cut it. How are you going to make your money, do
you want to work at home or out of an office, what
marketing strategies are you going to employ and how much
time are you going to spend building you business? These
plus many more are all questions that need to be answered.
The more detailed and precise you can see your destination
the easier it will be to get there.
What Is Your Goal?
With a destination firmly engraved in your mind you now
need to take it a step further. Make it a goal! The
difference between dreamers and entrepreneur is having
goals. A goal is not a wish or a dream it is something you
are willing to work hard for and sacrifice to achieve so
don't make a goal just to make goals? COMMIT To It!
You need to make a series of short term goals that are
focused on one thing? achieving your long term goal or your
destination. Put a date on all your goals and hold yourself
accountable to them. You have a long term goal, short term
goals and dates that you will achieve them by, now what?
Write them down and take your goals everywhere you go! That
is the most important step because you want to take
ownership of your goals.
Take Action
You know what you want and have taken ownership of it by
making goals. Now it is time to take action. I make a
yearly, monthly and daily action plan that focuses on
achieving your short term goals. This is were I put my
marketing plan, time schedule and tasks I must complete to
accomplish my goals. It really is just a to-do list. It is
that simple, make a to do list every day and prioritize
what needs to be done and when you complete a task put a
check mark by it. At the end of a long day having a list of
accomplishments with check marks beside them is a great
filling. Elementary I know but it works.
Put your pride in you back pocket and quit driving around
without a road map. Always be a student and learn ways to
improve and prophecy your plan and you will be relaxing on
the beaches of the world.
