Will you be setting New Year’s Resolutions this year?
What if you thought instead about setting goals for the upcoming YEAR…
And thought about setting goals for the upcoming DECADE?

We so often OVER-estimate what we can do in one year’s time…
yet we UNDER-estimate the goals we can accomplish in 10 years time.
And THAT’s where the difference is made between those who accomplish BIG goals and those who give up.

The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work.

The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity.

But the world stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.

Andrew Carnegie

What will you do TODAY and in the New Year that people will stand on their head for you?

So many people at this time of year think about setting their goals, setting New Year’s Resolutions, yet I challenge you to THINK LONG TERM. And take one step at a time.

Share ONE BIG GOAL with me here in the comments section.
Stand up and be counted.

Think enthusiastically about everything; but especially about your job. If you do so, you’ll put a touch of glory in your life. If you love your job with enthusiasm, you’ll shake it to pieces.

I’m not like most “success coaches.”
That’s because I say and do a lot that
they’re not willing to say or do. I take risks,
and I say bizarre, off-the-wall things that make
people go… hmmmm…

For example, I just posted the following comment
on someone’s blog on MySpace today – and I thought
I’d share it with you and my readers of this Motivational
quotes blog because it’s one of THE most important
success secrets I share with the business owners I coach.

What is it?
What do I say to my coaching clients that throws them off guard?
It’s this:

Here’s to you Taking Action and reaching
50% of your goals.

Oh? Is that a typo?
You ask why not 100%?

I’m glad you asked!

Because if you do reach 100% of your goals
all the time, it simply means:

1) You either haven’t set enough goals,

or

2) You haven’t set your goals HIGH enough!

Either you’re afraid to risk NOT achieving a BIG goal,
and you simply avoid putting your big goal down on paper,
afraid someone might see it, that they might laugh
at you for even THINKING you could achieve such
a crazy, lofty goal.

Or – you’re afraid of disappointment if you don’t
achieve your goal.

Either way – it doesn’t matter. When you don’t
set BIG goals, and write your goals down, then share them
with other TRUSTED sources – you are jeopardizing
your ultimate success and limiting yourself by choice.

Believe me, disappointment is NOT the worst feeling
you can ever experience. Regret is.

I look back on my life, a decade later after being at
an Anthony Robbins event in New Jersey when I first
allowed myself to dream big! Dream HUGE!

I remember my hands shaking, as I wrote down my goals,
hiding my paper from my husband so he wouldn’t see this crazy
goal I had of quitting my job, becoming a successful Coach,
speaking all around the world, and living in a warm place.

Now as I type those things… I can’t help but smile, and think…
“Wow! I should have written even more down! Because everything
came true and THEN some!”

Anyone who knows me now who didn’t know me then would think I
was a different person. And I suppose, a decade later – I AM!

A decade ago… I was scared to even ADMIT
my goals to ANYONE for fear of ridicule.

OR – the worst thing in my family – was disappointment.
We learned to “settle” and to accept what we had and
not want anything more. To be content and stay where
we were in life.

Dreaming of a better life was not something we were encouraged to do.
But I dared to dream anyway.

Now I realize how much we UNDER estimate what we can do in a decade.

Now, I dream even BIGGER!

I think HUGE thoughts and I dream MEGA dreams now.

And now, I only care if I reach 50% of my goals over the next 5 years…
because now I know… it’s only a matter of time
until ALL our dreams will come true.

So – here’s to reaching 50% of your goals over the next year!
Are you with me?!

Guaranteed way how to boost confidence:

“Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.”

R.W. Emerson

Try it!
I Dare You!

And remember – courage is not the absence of fear – it’s merely doing something “in spite of” the fear.
