Values of setting Goals Part two

 

There is no past or future for the law of attraction, only the present, so stop referring to your life in the past as very difficult, or full of hardship and pain, or in any other negative way.

Remember that the law only operates in the present, so when you speak of your past life negatively the law is receiving your words and sending those things back to you NOW.

May the joy be with you, - Rhonda Byrne

 

imageThere is a balance to be achieved between working on all areas that need attention, not just  working on one area. To Focus on multiple areas can be distracting leading to little being achieved. Focusing on one area alone, also has its downsides. Not only can it impact negatively on your work and life balance, but over focussing can lead to a mixed outcome.

 

You may have or be experiencing a situation where you wanted something so much that it became crucial to you that you had that “one thing” in your life. It could be anything at that crucial moment, like: promotion, a new job, a new house, or even a new partner. When you find yourself attached to a particular result, you may find that it often gets in the way of your true ideal result. One way of "letting go" of your attachment is to spread your focus by having one or two other key goals, but not too many or you will lose your focus.

 

Once you have your top two or three areas, the next step is to set ONE goal that is going to really inspire you in each of these areas. Defining an inspirational goal is a challenging exercise to do alone. A coach or mentor who is experienced in working with people to define really inspiring goals can really help with this process. 

 

As Coach & Mentor at “Mentoring For Free”  I can help you through times of change and goal setting

 

A goal that is hugely inspiring for any one has an energy of its own.  For example; what happens when a surfer rides a powerful wave. Once on the big wave, all a surfer needs to do is focus and balance and he will be carried to the shore - without the need to do much more. If the surfer wants to reach the road from the shore, the surfer will need to take some action!

.

It can be daunting when you have something in an area of  your life, but  are resistant to setting a goal in that area. It is a fact that quite often this resistance is in a place where you do not  want to take action on something, in case you do not get what they want, this is a failure in your own faith and belief. This can be any situation where you have tried many things without success. Starting your own Network Marketing Business is a goal, but you have to believe in yourself that this will be solved not only by taking action but with your faith in the goal you have set.

 

  “You can’t be a smart cookie if you have a crummy attitude.” ~John Maxwell

 

What makes a powerful goal?

INGREDIENTS

Imagine you are baking a cake which has more than one ingredient of courseimage, decide which is the most essential ingredient , just like setting a goal you need to put this ingredient in first, thus a goal has been achieved, not a big one but a necessary one to complete the task. To lose weight after you have eaten  this perfect cake designed and worked from a set of goals, is another powerful goal to achieve.  The  inspiration to achieve this goal or goals shows what magic there is in your own belief and you will see how the magic of goal setting starts to flow.

 

“Challenging” another important ingredient next to “Inspiration” you need to achieve the correct level of challenge if you wish to succeed in the goal.  Many of us are inspired by this some of us are a little daunted at having set  ourselves a challenge because you now have to follow through.  There are those of us who feel to much of a challenge will be counter productive and not take any action, as you will intently or not in your mind feel that this will never happen!!   Now you need to step back and make adjustments to your perspective or to your goal.  I personally come from a place where everything is possible not letting the wrong ingredient come into my recipe of success, thus encourage you to do the same.  You now have to forget the past experiences, what we did or could not do, times have changed and you have learned new experiences that could not have been foreseen now move forward!

 

imageA challenging goal doesn't necessarily make it difficult to achieve. A good  example is my own busy mind and life, if  left to my own devices forgetting about my own goals I would be mulling over to many things in my mind and lose sight of the recipe to complete the tasks I need to, reminding myself of one task at a time and move forward,  with more self confidence and belief thus leading to the ability to take on more than one goal at a time. 

 

Opportunity
That is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.

- Napoleon Hill

 

Goal setting will encourage you to go for something realistic within a specific time imageframe. If making a goal realistic means that some of the inspiration is lost - then go for the inspiration.  From the start, a goal could be considered to be unrealistic if set too short or too long, you have to decide the time frame unless of course it is a gaol for the future!   Have a short term goal to start (perhaps a bite from the long term goal) and focus, the longer term goal is the one that truly excite and inspire you to be motivated enough for this to work.

 

In ALL cases, it makes sense to frame goals in the “Positive”. There are times when a goal which appears to be expressed in the negative can be more motivating to some people like accepting a problem one already has, this is the easy route to take, because it is harder to fight the problem, Too many of us prefer this route instead of thinking with a positive mental attitude. 

 

Go for goals that cam be measured within your time scale and target, this will encourage you to start, but remember to think long term and the main goals will fall into place.  Not only is a measured goal motivational, but with the coaching from your Mentor (at Mentoring For Free) you will know how close or how far you are from achieving the goal, at any point in time. 

Should you be unable to achieve the goal that you originally set, can be for many reasons but most of the time it is because you changed your mind. What you set out to achieve initially, no longer holds the same interest for you. For those of you that are more spiritually minded, it can be useful to include a caveat - to your goal setting, particularly when you find yourself  attached to the goal you set and the outcome. This can take the form of a simple sentence which can be added to a goal list like;  "Achieve my goal....on or whatever phrase or system you use to remember and give yourself a pat on the back, or buy a little gift to celebrate your achievement, remember you are worth it!

 

imageIt is only a matter of time until the goal you set becomes yours. There is likely to be many levels and periods of learning and achievements on your path from the moment you set your goals, “Stay Focused”. Keeping a note of your experiences and achievements will help you to remember where you came from to what you have achieved to date. It is a know fact that all human beings are good at forgetting, so it is easy for us to dismiss our achievements. However valuable goals setting is. What ever the outcome, I find it empowering to remember that "Life is a journey, not a destination".

Values of setting goals Part one

 

Don’t be afraid to aim high when choosing your life’s goal, for no matter how high you aim, your achievements may fall below it.

Many businesses today advocate “continuous improvement” as part of their quality programs. They have realized that to remain competitive in today’s global economy they must constantly strive to improve every aspect of the business, otherwise they will be overtaken by the competition. The same ethic applies to individuals. All of life is a continuous learning experience. Every success and every temporary setback only serve to prepare you for the time when you will eventually prevail. Your short- and medium-term goals should be realistic and achievable, but your long-term goals should always far exceed your present capabilities. As the Roman poet Virgil said, “Fortune sides with him who dares.” - Napoleon Hill

 

What value do we place on setting goals?

imageBelief in the power of setting goals brings about results you desire or want to achieve in your life!  It has to be an even 100% if you really want the the achievements you look for.  These can be seen in our everyday life, whether family, friends or business colleagues or your own life.  The beauty is that you are never too old or too young to set goals and reap the benefits from them, I guarantee they will change your life for ever.  It is your decision.

 

Your goals could be anything from: passing an exam, buying your new home or dream car, even if you are playing a sport and you need just one more on the score board, it will give you the energy and desire to be a winner or even owning your own Networking Business working from home, anything you desire you can have.

 

Jon Covey tells his readers to "start with the end in mind" - and when we set a goal we are doing just that.

 

Why set Goals, what is the purpose?

So many people go through their lives lost and without clear direction, making us all subject to the storms and winds in the sea of life. Lack of direction often leads to feelings of stress and anxiety, poor concentration levels, lack of confidence, and living life from a place of being reactive rather than proactive. What matters the most is that people without goals often have little determination, patience or tenacity.

 

When you set and achieve a goal, you have an opportunity to pat yourself onimage the back. Even if you don't achieve exactly what you set out to do, a small improvement is better than no improvement. While you grow in your own achievements you will notice along the route of improvement there will be numerous more achievements  and more to learn along the way, so that you can acknowledge yourself for. All this helps build self esteem.

 

For those who are serious about sport, or who are running a business or even have a senior role within a company, setting goals is an essential ingredient to success. The only problem is not everyone does it. It may take a conversation with a coach, or business advisor or a mentor to get them thinking along these lines.

We at Mentoring For Free offer this service

  Setting goals is not just for sport or work, everyone can benefit from a well-worded goal. Whether you seek a new partner, a better relationship with your existing one, a new job, a new house, more energy, more abundance, improved health, a stress-free life, or something else, the right goal for you, can make all the difference.

 

Planning
Transformation of the intangible impulse of desire into the tangible reality of money calls for the use of a plan, or plans.- Napoleon Hill

 

How do you set goals?
imageSetting goals is a very easy process to do at its simplest level. Spend a lot of time designing your own goals “make them personal”  to you, this will help you focus on the most important areas of your life, remember what is important today may not be in a few month's time, but do not lose your focus, tomorrow is another day!  Remember to do a self analysis often and if you so desire use a scoring system like 1 out of 10 and 1 being the least important, so how do you rate this goal?

 

Dreams fade away because we can’t tolerate the short term pain necessary to get to our long term goal.

A Book of Secrets Equals Success??

 
From The Secret Daily Teachings
Here is a checklist to make sure you have your receiving channels open:
Do you receive compliments well? Do you receive unexpected gifts easily? Do you accept help when it is offered? Do you accept your meal being paid for by a friend?
These are little things, but they will help you know if you are open to receiving. Remember, the Universe is moving through everyone and every circumstance to give to you.

May the joy be with you. - Rhonda Byrne
 
imageWhat if there was a secret book somewhere that could virtually guarantee your success, would you want to know where it was? Would you be willing to read and learn?  If there are unwritten rules and laws inside that book that only a small number of people knew about and if those laws could literally change your whole life, would you play by those rules and adhere to those laws in order to have the life you really want? Would that secret book be your Bible? 
 
Awareness is the first step to positive change. -- Leslie C. Aguilar
 
This is something to think about it for a moment; if you were handed a secret book with a set of rules and a simple but powerful formula to follow that would allow you to own your life, would you read that book from front to back cover and put the secrets to work? or would you leave it standing idle on your bookshelf and forget about it? 
 
The rich the famous and the brightest off all around the globe since time began: Socrates, Plato, Einstein & Leonardo Davinci to name but a few; BUT in Modern times we have: Jack Canfield, Dr Denis Waitley, Bob Proctor & Dr John Gray again a few people of those that knew “The Secret” Why do you think they are who they are and know what they know?  It is because they knew the secret! They wrote it and now you to can have it.  ONLY if you read it will you progress in life.
 
If you’re ready to push aside your past and plan a future that is everything you have ever dreamed of or wanted, The following is a secret formula to making millions in your MLM  or Network Marketing Business, that is more valuable than any book you will ever read.  Now read on…
 
The Five Secrets To Changing Your Life
The First Secret – Your Past is NOT Your Future. (Something we should not forget)
We are all influenced by our past!  It might be that our parents, peers or familyimage members that presented us with situations and challenges when we were young children.  These we were not always comfortable with or wanted to do and that we struggled to come through in the way we would have wanted to. This is simply a part of life but for some, this was and often is a time of failure, but only by those who do not have the faith in you, yet still, leave heavy footprints in the sand.
 
The secret to creating the future you desire and truly deserve is to leave this footprint behind. Allow the sea to wash over it until the footprint is washed away. 
 
The Second Secret – Your Beliefs Become Your Reality.
The human mind is more powerful that any computer. It has the ability to store an unlimited amount of information and solve the most complex imageproblems and has taken our species from the dark ages to a place where we are now globally connected in ways many of our ancestors could only dream of. We all have the power to create change and develop ideas into life changing realities. Those who we remember for their achievements and inventions had one single thing in common; a belief in what they were able to achieve and that belief enabled them to create what we remember them for. Edison’s first electric light bulb, Einstein’s theory of relativity, Levi Strauss’ Denims. We remember their achievements and inventions which were a result of their belief in a new reality.
When you start to focus on what you believe will be your achievements: Your Goals Your Dreams and Your Ambitions  and you can see them mapped out in front of you of you (goal by goal), your beliefs “WILL” become your reality. Over time your journey, struggle by struggle, simply becomes a part of the process of getting to where you are going.  Then it becomes part of your past, but only if you move forward..
 
The Third Secret – Your Actions Become Your Habits.

imageAffirmations, confirmations even declarations within our minds create long term mental changes and are valuable to the process of our change in life. Results come from a different place and are achieved as an output of some kind of action.
Great results are the outcome of focused activity, while poor results are the outcome of unplanned random acts, subconsciously intended to fail because we did not believe.
Successful entrepreneurs have three basic attributes in common;  Strong Work Ethics,  Self  Belief and Targeted  Focussed Vision on the task in hand, no distraction will stop them for long. This doesn’t mean you should never have more than one thing in the pot when you are planning to some serious changes. In contrast, wealth is often created through multiple streams of income. The key to creating that wealth, though, is to focus and complete “One Task at a Time”. Creating, planning and carrying out many tasks over time that will have a deep impact on the overall plan you have put in place. image
Understand why you want to achieve change, have faith in yourself and those who are with you,  from family member's to the leaders who have faith, trust and belief in you.  This is why they chose you to be with them, in their Network Marketing Business.  Now put your detailed plan in place of how that changes will work for you, remember you are not alone. Once your plan is in place, break it down into daily, weekly and monthly tasks that you must complete and watch your actions become the habits of a successful entrepreneur.
 
 
 The Fourth Secret – Your Heart Will Lead To Wealth.
Business is often seen as the domination of grey suits, special relationships and serious and often boring conversations that only certain people will or can follow, this is a fact of life of many industries and at times this is needed.
imageThere is a place also for laughter, love and deep connections. Connecting with your customers, business partners and team members and creating the type of workplace or business that does not feel like work and feels more like a place we all desire to be at. Creating great connections brings people together behind a cause and allows you to bring people with you on your journey, to the top!
These connections will help you to truly unlock the secret and throw open the door to riches by creating the lifestyle you are searching for. A life unrestricted by the normal stresses and expectations of the business world and weekly cheque, it may be hard to believe but being led by your heart and not your head will take you from the job to your desires, dreams & goals, by helping others get what they want in life then yours will surely follow.
 

The Fifth Secret – Your Goals Are Greater Than Your Gains.
imageGreat gifts are often wrapped in simple paper.  When we begin this journey we’re often so deep in debt have no faith, or we can not see a clear sky because of a  dark cloud hovering above us, or feeling so lost in our current place in life, that our focus is on something that is simply material.   We’ would like a new car or a holiday with the family or we would do anything to have an extra few thousand in our bank account each month. These material things will only carry us so far on this journey and after a while will cease to inspire us to reach our true potential.  This is the reason why so many fail: Loss of way, Dreams, Goals, Faith and lack of strength to keep going.  To be a leader you must act like one and never take council with someone who is not going anywhere, or has given up before reaching the finishing post! 
That is the difference between a winner and a loser, which one will you be? it is up to you.
 
Fitting in is a short-term strategy, standing out pays off in the long-run.
 
The secret to creating the life you know is out there waiting for you is to have a goal that is truly bigger than your gain. This is different for each of us and will only come to you when you are ready to receive it, but When it does, make it your legacy and your journey will fall into place. Do ask advice aboutimage “Personalities” this is an area we are proud of having expertise, knowledge and training in, as we are all different, with individual needs desires and requirements, I promise you this will make a difference in your businesses.  We call it “The Colours To Success”.  A small part of something big..
 
We are a team of advisors in the world of MLM offering Advice
AND
Training under the banner of..
“Mentoring For Free”
JUST ASK
 
Dreams fade away because we can’t tolerate the short term pain necessary to get to our long term goal.
 
Making Changes in your life and creating the future you desire starts when you make a decision to fulfil your dream. You may be focused on your current problems, your challenges and concerns at the present time with little more in your sights than paying the bills or mortgage payment. You may even hate your job and the people you work with or feel that your social life has simply vanished beneath all of your personal responsibilities and free time is nothing but a dream. These are real challenges and often take over our lives without even being invited..
When we push through these barriers and challenges we are able to make a space for the things we truly value to come into focus; our family loved ones, our health and happiness and our true desire to leave the world a better place through our actions and achievements.  Help someone else get what they want and your reasons for taking part in your Network Marketing Business will break through the dark cloud to the blue sky above and all the wealth you desire… This is the real secret.   Rhonda Byrne

Do not Waste Time & Energy on the Small Stuff

 

Impossible
Through some strange and powerful principle of “mental chemistry” which she has never divulged, Nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire “that something” which recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure. Napoleon Hill

 

Teachers001[1]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

 

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.  

 

imageSo the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

 

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

 

imageThe professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.   Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

 

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes."

 

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter - like your job, your house, your car.

The sand is everything else. The small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life.

 

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination. ~Tommy Lasorda

 

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal.

Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

imageThe Power of Simplicity - that is what the story demonstrates. If I may add my two cents worth... the story underlines the need to give priority to the IMPORTANT over the URGENT. Once the Important is in place, we can attend to the Urgent. If we fail to do that, we become perpetual slaves to the great tyrant called Urgent.

 

Opportunity wastes no effort looking for the person who is wasting time through idleness or destructive action.
Opportunities somehow always seem to gravitate toward busy people who can hardly keep up with those they already have. Logically, it would seem that opportunities would make an effort to seek out individuals who have an abundance of time available, but instead opportunities appear for those who have goals and dreams and a plan for achieving them. We often think of opportunity as a living, moving thing, something that actively seeks out a willing recipient. In fact, the reverse is true. Opportunities are ideas or concepts that exist only in the minds of those who recognize them. When you have no goals or plans, opportunities mean nothing to you. They become opportunities only when you recognize them as ideas that you can implement to help you move toward your goal. – Napoleon Hill

 

There is no difference between the Jar The Pebbles The Sand & Your Life.  The only difference is how you handle it, the choice is yours.  We are a team of volunteers at “Mentoring For Free”  offering  such advice in the world of “NETWOTK MARKETING”  Be a leader and complete the task required to save you working on the small stuff!  Do not forget the mind requires training and this can be obtained at the link below!  Trust in your  Ability your Faith & your Desire to win..                                                                   World in Your Hand
