But over the years I came to admire him and appreciate his contribution.

So in honor of Muhammad Ali’s passing, here are my top 3 greatest quotes from this legendary fighter. I think they are quite profound.

Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. And the will must be stronger than the skill.”

 

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”

 

“I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I was really the greatest.”

Rest in peace, Muhammad Ali.

And what’s stopping you? Do you lack the confidence? Are you not sure of the next step? Do you feel like you’re all alone? Are you afraid to fail?

All too often we don’t attempt to do something we really want to do because it seems overwhelming. And sometimes, because we have a lot to do, we just keep putting it off figuring that we’ll eventually get to it. But then we don’t.

What we need is a sense of urgency, accountability, and the support and resources to take consistent action and get significant results.

That’s what so many of you have been telling me. And people who work by themselves have a unique set of challenges.

That’s why at the end of the month, we’re opening the doors to our brand new program—The 40-Day Best Life Challenge. It’s specifically designed to provide these essential ingredients—in a very unique way—that will catapult your productivity and accelerate your achievement.

It’s also going to be great fun. And until we launch, I’m going to be sharing a ton of immediately applicable, highly practical content. I know you’re going to love it.

On Thursday, I’m conducting a webinar on Overcoming Overwhelm. It’s 100% content. I won’t be selling anything because there is nothing to buy. And it’s loaded with actionable ideas, strategies and tactics to help you get out and stay out of the feeling of overwhelm.

With what you’ll learn, you’ll be much more focused on the things that matter and get a lot more of the right things done

The post What’s Really Possible? What Can You Really Achieve? appeared first on Michael Angier | Practical Success Philosophy.

It’s nearly impossible to have a preemptive plan or solution for every possible weakness. But to continue trying to grow your business without knowing the essential building blocks—or ignoring them—is foolhardy. There are far too many small businesses that eventually fail when they could have succeeded. Good companies with good products and services. And good people who had many of the components of a rock-solid business—but not enough of them.

This is the first in a series of articles about the torpedoes that can sink your business. And by becoming aware of them, you are more than half way to avoiding their dangers.

Today, we’re talking about not being clear on your core values.

Very few small companies pay attention to this—and they do so at their own peril. Growing a small business requires tens of thousands of decisions. Purchasing decisions, hiring decisions, product development and pricing decisions. And very few are easy. You can’t wait for all the research and all the data to be collected before you decide. You can’t seek enough advice, you can’t delay, and you can’t afford to be indecisive. You have to make your best decision with what you have.

And one of the things that makes those decisions infinitely easier is to truly know what your company is about, what you stand for, believe in and are committed to.

This might seem unnecessary or too woo-woo for many business owners, but it really isn’t. If the owner and all employees are clear on this, there will be fewer mistakes, better communication and more buy-in as to the company’s mission and purpose.

And the clearer you are about your core values, and the better you communicate them, the easier it will be to build your brand and your reputation. Customers like to do business with an enterprise that stands for something.

Our most popular course over the past 20 years has been, and still is, Your Core Values. It’s a step-by-step plan to discover and articulate your top 5 core values—for an individual or an organization. You can find out more and get a 75% discount on this course on this page . . .

Are you a fan of the Think Big, Dream Big crowd?

I love big ideas, and I love being around big thinkers. But I’m an even bigger fan of people and companies who ACCOMPLISH big things. Many people who consider themselves big thinkers are mostly just big dreamers. And they either fail to get started or they crash and burn by taking on too much.

I know because I’ve done it.

When I was 25 years old, I was a farmer with big dreams in agribusiness. And I planned and built a state-of-the-art meat processing plant in Middlebury, Vermont. I literally bet the farm I owned on a new enterprise that I and a number of others thought was an idea whose time had come.

My failed strategy was to be diverse in our product and service lines and then eventually focus on those that we found to be most profitable and the ones we were the best at doing. Totally opposite of what I would do today.

My inexperience and my attempt to GO BIG created my first major failure. I learned a lot, but it was painful and costly. Going broke isn’t so bad, but when you end up owing tens of thousands of dollars and nothing to show for it except the experience, it hurts.

I’ve met many people over the years who truly wanted to make a difference in the world. Or, as Steve Jobs said, “put a ding in the Universe.”

But I remember hearing Rich DeVos, the president of Amway Corporation say to a convention of Junior Achievers, “Before you go out to change the world, make sure you clean up your bedroom first.” Good advice.

We have to walk before we can run. And it’s best to learn making smaller, less costly mistakes so you build experience and resources to take on bigger challenges.

Think big. but start small.

If you’re interested in learning how to start a business that supports who you are, what you’re about and how you want to live, take a look at our Lifestyle Business System. It will teach you how to build something that makes a difference without having to take any big risks and learn while you grow.

It’s all explained on this page . . .

The post Best Life Tip: Think Big, Start Small appeared first on Michael Angier | Practical Success Philosophy.

Discipline is rarely easy, and much of it is a pain—at least at first. But regret is a much bigger price to pay.

To me, part of living your best life is living a life with no regrets. Sure, there are things you might want to do differently, but regret is a heavy burden to bear. Jim said discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.

With discipline, we get stronger and progress gets easier. And it rarely has to be the Marine Corp Boot Camp kind of discipline. Good, solid, everyday habits result in consistent progress. In fact, being inconsistent in doing the right things is where most people fall down.

“Things that are easy to do, are also easy not to do.”

In my book, The Achievement Code, I go into depth about the 3 Cs to getting what you truly want. The 3 Cs aren’t very complicated and not even that hard to master. But they are critical keys to achievement. And lack of clarity and lack of concentration (focus) are big challenges to living your best life. But I do think that lack of discipline and consistency are the biggest stumbling blocks.

A few bad habits repeated regularly over a period of time may very well lead to regret. The aggregate of over-eating, over-drinking, not enough exercise, not saving for retirement, spending more than you earn all adds up. And the price can be high. Regret is the unwelcome reward.

But likewise, the discipline of good habits practiced consistently adds up, too. Better health, more financial freedom, greater income, better relationships result from proper practices. A much better reward.
I hope you’ll agree that the pain of discipline is far better than the pain of regret.

What disciplines do you need to establish or get better at doing regularly? What small pains are you willing to trade to prevent the gnawing, gut-wrenching regret of not having done what you needed to do?

If you already have the Best Life Navigator™ I created to help you with discipline, clarity, consistency and tracking, I urge you to use it regularly. It’s a powerful tool for living a life of no regrets.

And if you don’t yet have it, what are you waiting for? It’s fully guaranteed, it’s only a few dollars, it’s super easy to use, and it will help you to feel more in control of your life than ever before.

Go to www.BestLifeNavigator.com and learn more. Order it, install it and begin to develop a lifetime of discipline that prevents regret.

Time was when you could only work WHILE you were at work. When we didn’t have cell phones and text messaging, we were out of touch for long periods of time. We used to be much more limited geographically, culturally, economically—even racially.

But with greater freedom comes greater choices. We can do almost anything. But what should that be?

In working with coaching and consulting clients for many years, I see more lack of clarity, less focus, more scattered energy than ever before. With so many options available, many people choose to make no choices at all and/or continue doing more of what they’ve always done.

Designing, creating and living your best life requires conscious decisions. It requires THINKING. Reacting, responding and recoiling from what is happening to you will simply not get the job done.

My mentor, Jim Rohn often said, “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”

And it’s almost impossible to avoid change. Our world is moving so rapidly, we are going to be impacted by some change even if we attempt to avoid it. So, I’m sure Jim was referring to proactive change—the change you choose and take action upon.

Be sure you set aside time to think, to reflect, to imagine, create and plan. Write down your thoughts. Note what’s working in your life, what isn’t working and what you think you’d like to do next. Ask yourself questions. What do you want more of? Less of? What do you want to start doing and what do you want to stop doing? What do you really, really want?

In order to be the captain of your ship, you can’t only be working on the deck. You have to look up, look out and chart your own course. Otherwise you will sail aimlessly, at best—or end up on the rocks, at worst.

It’s really about the 3 Cs. My most recent book, The Achievement Code lays out the 3C Formula for getting what you truly want. Clarity, Concentration and Consistency are what’s needed to live your best life.

You can get a printed, PDF or Kindle copy (along with a bunch of great bonuses) at www.TheAchievementCode.com

The Best Life Navigator™ is one of the most effective tools I know of to help you focus better, consistently sort things out, design your life and track your progress. By using it, you will always know what the next best step is for you.

I hope you’re consistently saving and investing (enough) for your retirement years—and you probably are. But there’s another kind of investment that’s just as important—if not more so—than your retirement. And that’s an investment in yourself.

Here’s the thing . . .

Unless you invest the time, energy, and money in creating a life you truly want, you’re going to be spending a lot of time and effort supporting a life you DON’T want.

Your best life doesn’t just happen. It doesn’t automatically unfold, and it’s not given to you. You have to design and create your best life yourself. Because if you don’t, other people and outside circumstances will do it for you. And guess what other people and outside circumstances have planned for you—not much.

An investment in yourself will pay dividends for the rest of your life. It won’t depreciate; it will appreciate. It will never be devalued or stolen. Clearly, your inner portfolio is the best investment you can make.

As you become better, as you upgrade your attitude, skills and knowledge, you will always be able to form the alliances, make the connections, create the opportunities and generate the income you need. You will breathe the rarified air of true mastery. You will live a life of no regrets and feel the joy and satisfaction of living your BEST life. You will, as Thoreau said, “live with a license of a higher order of beings.”

I urge you to plan your investments in yourself as carefully and as consistently as your retirement portfolio. Dedicate yourself to CANI—Constant And Never-ending Improvement. And you will never be bored, because growth is stimulating and often fun. There are no limits.

Get Your Personal Dashboard to Your Ideal Life
Every once in awhile, something comes along that you didn’t even know you needed or wanted. (I bet you never knew you needed an iPhone before Apple invented it.) But after you begin using it, you never want to be without it.

The Best Life Navigator™ is one of those things. We all need good tools and systems. And The Navigator™ is both.

Over the past 35 years, I’ve created scores of products, dozens of training programs, and written and published several books. But THIS product is the one I’m the most proud of creating—because I know what a difference it can make in creating your BEST LIFE.

#10: Not Having Good Systems, Tools & Technology

Reason Number 10 why good people don’t always win is inadequate or non-existing systems.

I believe that most people are well-intended and want to do the right thing. Where I think they fail is they have systems that don’t support them or no real systems at all.

When I consult with business owners, we focus on where they want to go, how to get there and the things that need fixing in order to succeed. Often they blame their people for the shortcomings. But it’s usually the systems that are the problem rather than the people.

System Defined: any formulated, regular or special method, plan or procedure.

The First System I Remember
I was raised on a farm, and when I was about 4 years old, I remember seeing my father in our dairy barn with his hat turned backward. I know now that many young people wear their caps with brims facing rearward, but at that time it looked strange.

So I asked my Dad why he had his hat on funny. And that’s when he explained his “system”. You see, we had a bullpen with a watering tank for the bull. It had to be filled with a hose and it took a while to fill it. Rather than wait for the tank to be topped off, my Dad would go about other chores while it was filling. But it’s easy to forget to turn the water off, and I’m guessing he had done so before. But now, when the tank was full, he would turn the water off and turn his hat frontward again. If he forgot, when he got back to the house, he would naturally reach for the brim of his hat and if it wasn’t there, he’d realize he must go back to the barn and turn it off to prevent a small flood.

That was my early introduction to systems. And I’ve developed many of my own since then.

A system can be as simple as a . . .

• checklist
• place for your keys
• mnemonic
• PIM (Personal Information Manager)
• formula

Or it can be as complicated as a project management program to build a nuclear power plant. But we all need systems to create and live our best life and grow our businesses with efficiency and effectiveness.

Years ago, I created an acronym for SYSTEMS . . .

Save
Yourself
Substantial
Time
Energy
Money and
Stress

Systems allow you to focus on what’s really important because systems handle the details. Systems make your life easier, make it easier to delegate and outsource, and make your business simpler to run—and SELL.

So what keeps someone from having good systems? Well, many people think systems aren’t important and/or they think they’re too small to employ a system. But that’s simply not true.

We can all regularly make improvements by remembering my SODA acronym . . .

Systematize
Organize
Delegate
Automate

One of the best systems or tools I’ve ever encountered for keeping track of information is Microsoft’s OneNote. Think of it has a system with an unlimited number of notebooks, an unlimited number of sections (and groups), an unlimited number of pages, and an unlimited size to all the pages.

Our latest product, The Best Life Navigator™, is built on OneNote. It’s a repository for all the information in your life. Here are just a few of the sections it contains:

• CANI (Constant And Never-ending Improvement)
• Finances
• Goals
• Inspiration
• Journals
• Network
• Planning/Tracking
• Projects . . . . and much more

Here are some examples of areas to consider developing or improving systems:

• Filing
• Bookkeeping
• Marketing
• Manufacturing
• Mailing & Shipping
• Events
• Product Development
• Storage
• Hiring

What systems do you have? Have you ever listed the systems you have in place to help you achieve your goals?

Think. And then document what you do. Who? What? When? Where? Why? And how?

Shane Fielder, The Innovative Samurai says, “Never start something without a template”. Don’t re-invent wheels. And don’t start from scratch. Use templates. MS Office has tons of templates. Search for them online. Try them out. Save yourself time and effort. The Best Life Navigator is a template—a very thorough and advanced template for creating your ideal life.

Tools & Technology
It’s the same with tools. It’s all about leverage. A farmer with a tractor and a large plow is, of course, going to be able to accomplish much more than a man with a mule and a single-share plow.

So make sure you have the tools you need to get things done with more ease, accuracy and speed.

We must constantly be on the lookout to create and improve our systems and upgrade and replace outdated tools and technology.

The post Top Ten Reasons Good People Don’t Always Win (Number 10 in a 10-part Series) appeared first on Michael Angier | Practical Success Philosophy.

Many people think you don’t need to figure out how you will achieve a goal. All you have to do is write it down and “attract” it.

I think that works some of the time. I’ve written things down that I wanted, put no effort into accomplishing them and sometimes never even thought about them again—until they happened.

So yes, I think there is some power in just being clear on what you want and expecting it.

But for important goals, I think your confidence and your expectation of achieving them go up dramatically when you’ve done the proper planning.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything”.

He understood that especially in the heat of battle, no plan is perfect. But planning does focus you on the process and can avoid many of the pitfalls and obstacles that can get in the way.

How do you set and plan your goals?

Do you decide on what you want and then hope it will happen? Do you write them down? Do you formulate a plan of action? Do you know the critical elements of that plan?

My experience has shown me that less than 3 percent of people have a written plan. And I’ve seen studies where only about 3 percent of people ever achieve any significant success.

Coincidence? Maybe, but I doubt it.

Does a clear, specific and well-thought-out plan guarantee success? No, it doesn’t. But I’d bet on the plan over the no-plan every time.

So if planning is so important, why don’t people do more of it? Here’s a few things that people let get in the way:

• They’re not sold on the value
• They aren’t sure how to do it
• They’re too busy doing instead of thinking and planning
• They think it’s too hard
• They believe it’s dull and uninteresting

But none of these excuses match up to the many benefits of good planning.

One of the simplest and most powerful means of planning is to begin with the end in mind and work backwards. What will it take to create the outcome you envision? What has to happen to create the intended results?

Breaking the overall plan down into strategies and tactics creates more confidence. Having more confidence that your goal is achievable increases the likelihood you’ll take consistent action. Good planning allows you to determine and allocate resources and delegate certain components to move the project along faster.

A good plan enables you to be proactive, rather than reactive. It stimulates forward thinking, builds teamwork and expertise and helps establish and manage priorities.

Planning Resources:

• The Best Life Navigator™ allows you to keep your personal and professional growth front and center. It has the tools you need for your success—all in one place.
• Free Online Strategic Planning Tool from Planware.org 
  (ugly site, but some great tools)

• SuccessNet Goal Planner
  A couple of years ago, I got together with several of my esteemed colleagues and a handful of my high-achieving Diamond Club Members about this whole idea of goal plans.

What we came up with is a goal planning system. We then beta-tested it with our entire Diamond Club team and made further revisions. The result is The SuccessNet Goal Planner. And it’s a good one—a VERY good one.

We borrowed the best of the best, innovated, kept it simple and made it easy to use.

Here’s just some of what you’ll get from this system:

• clarity on what you really want out of life
• raise your belief as to what’s possible
• more balance in your life
• feel more confident and have more passion
• prioritize your goals and work on what’s truly worthwhile
• checklists to keep you on track, focused and consistent
• access to other valuable resources
• and much, much more . . .

But as I’ve often said, if you develop the habits of success, you will make success a habit.

In this chapter of this series we’ll examine our habits—both helpful and not. Because I want you to get just how powerful and important good habits and proper discipline is when it comes to winning.

We’ll also examine some of the challenges to changing our habits and discover ways to replace those that don’t serve us.

And finally, we’ll encourage you to commit or re-commit to acquiring the habits needed to win and replacing those habits that keep us from living our best life.

But first some basic premises . . .

• A Habit is a wonderful servant but a terrible master
• Bad habits are easy to form but hard to live with.
• Good habits are hard to form but easy to live with.
• When you sow and act, you reap a habit. When you sow a habit, you reap a character.
• And when you sow a character, you reap a destiny.
• We need to work as hard on ourselves as we do at our job or on our goals.
• We first make our habits; then our habits make us.
• If you don’t conquer your bad habits, they’ll eventually conquer you.
• Habits are at first cobwebs . . . then steel cables.
• How you do anything is pretty much how you do everything.
• Easier to replace a habit than eliminate one.
• We have habits because they served us.
• Everything matters.
• What’s easy to do is also easy NOT to do.

“The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably thought and act.”

—Orison Swett Marden

Obstacles

Here are some of the obstacles we must overcome in directing and changing our habits:

• Change is usually hard
• Ingrained brain patterns
• Taking on too many at a time
• Not realizing how powerful they are
• Not having big enough reasons
• Other people
• Environment

Strategies for successfully changing habits and developing good disciplines:

• Choose carefully
• Don’t take on too many at a time
• Be precise
• Enhance your reasons for change
  • Exacerbate the pain ~ the cost of NOT changing
  • Pile on the benefits ~ elevate the payoffs
• Make sure it’s worth it
• Track your progress, be accountable
• Celebrate your successes

One of the ways to explore habits you wish to change or install is to go through a More/Less, Start/Stop exercise. Simply answer these questions with as many things as you can think of:

• What do you want to do more of?
• What do you want to do less of?
• What do you want to start doing?
• What do you want to stop doing?

Something else you can do is to look at your top 3 goals and ask what habits and disciplines does their accomplishment require. Ask yourself what kind of a person do you need to become in order to achieve your most important goals? Because who you become is almost always more important than what you achieve.

Winning Habits
Here are a few of the winning habits of people who consistently win:

• Urgency – Do It Now
• Deciding quickly, and changing decisions slowly (if at all)
• Good planning
• Speaking positively, no complaining
• Telling the truth, operating with integrity
• Order

Habit Ideas
Here are some ideas for habits YOU might like to acquire, change or improve upon:

• Daily vitamins
• Up early
• Be on time
• Smile
• Bragging/boasting
• Plan your week on Sunday
• Worry
• Filing taxes on time, every time
• Accounting up to date
• Say affirmations daily
• Prayer/meditation
• Saving at least 10% of income
• Practicing daily gratefuls
• Wear seatbelt ALL the time

I’ve always appreciated this poem, although I have never been able to source the author. Do you know?

WHO AM I?

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me,
And I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done,
And after a few lessons I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great men
And, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine
Plus the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin;
It makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me
And I will put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?
I am HABIT!

Aristotle wrote, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

If you want to consistently win, achieve your most important goals and live your best life, you must cultivate the habits that work and shun those that don’t. Make your habits serve you and never be a servant of them.
