Tip #1: The Foolproof Combination: Vision and Action
Action and attitude are a necessary combination. In order to progress, we must have positive ideas and objectives and the confidence that we can achieve them; but, without positive action, we won’t make progress; it requires a balance of both.
Attitude - Limiting beliefs:
“How will I ever increase my sales that much?”
“I can’t lose that weight and keep it off.”
“Our company just can’t do that.”
“I’m too ______ to do that.” “This isn’t going to work.”
That little voice in our head that keeps reminding us of shortcomings and doubts must be silenced or shouted over. If we really want something we will find a way to get it. What chance do you stand of achieving your goals if you don’t believe something new or different can happen? Shift your limiting beliefs to a new positive paradigm.
Look at a major goal you have set for yourself. Now listen to that little voice; is it sending doubts? If so, repeat your new paradigm and constantly reinforce it until you believe you can achieve that goal.
Actions:
- Have you listed all the steps required to achieve your goals?
- What are the next steps? Success is a series of small actions toward the objective. Set the next milestone, commit to it, and do it.
- What are you feeling? Focus on your positive paradigm. What actions are you taking? Take action toward results.
“Vision without Action is merely a dream; Action without vision just passes the time; Vision with Action can change the world” -- Joel Barker
