Or what is the philosophy that works in your back ground that governs the way you respond to the trials of life?

When you are faced with a bad situation, do you react or respond?

Reaction meaning that there is very little, if any, thought between what happens and what you do? This may be a situation, that someone would consider “flying off the handle.”

Where “Response” is when you actually evaluate  the situation before you do anything.

Lets examine this situation…

You are out to eat and the waitress you happen to get is really cold and rude. Now this is the first time that you have ever seen this woman. Now for some people, if you are in secure with yourself, may think why is this woman treating ME this way, I’ve never even seen her before. And they end up leaving this woman a very small tip as a reaction to the situation.

Now a different response may be to NOT take this woman’s actions as personal.

After all you never even met her. You may think to yourself, I wonder what is bothering this woman. Most people don’t act like this unless something is bothering this person. Maybe she has a sick child or parent. Who knows… And they end up leaving her a more generous tip. It may be enough to turn her around for the day. And if not, you always end up getting back what YOU put out anyway, so you might as well make it positive.

Regardless of which situation you may use it comes out of your personal philosophy.

And as my mentor would say, you need to examine the facts and become a product of your own conclusions.

Take a few minutes and watch this great video and let me know what you think…

Success doesn’t have to be complicated. We make more difficult than it has to be.

When we delay action because of fear or worry, we make success difficult.

When we delay action because of what we think others will think of us, we make success difficult.

When we delay action because we are unwilling to change our thinking or habits, we make success difficult.

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal, according to the late Earl Nightingale.

What worthy ideal are you progressing towards?

Or you have no idea where you are going with your life and you just take each day as it comes and wonder why things are not getting any better for you… Why?

With the information available today on the internet, book stores and libraries, why are we not reaching our goals or even worse than that, why are we making excuses for not reaching our goals.

The success process are only a few steps but if they are not followed and we are not taking action towards our goals, we will continue to live each day in despair and wake up after a few years with little or no change in our lives.

If you want massive results then you are required to make massive change in your thinking and your actions.

Things will only change when we change. The first change has to be in our thinking followed very quickly by changes in our actions. It is simply not enough to change our thinking, the real magic happens when we change our actions.

With this post I will review the 3 Step Success Process with a few web resources for each step that will help the magic happen:

1. Desire – Desire is the starting point of ALL success no matter how big or how small the desire. When you can be woken up at 2 AM and are asked what you truly want in life and you can recite it with little or no hesitation. You got it!

The idea here is not to limit yourself to your current results. We must grow in order to get bigger and better results. But it is up to you, to decide what that vision is for you.

What would your DREAM life look like?

2. Learn and Understand the Laws of Success – We live in a cause and effect world. The good Lord has provided us with a world that works with the precision of an exact science. When we start to learn how these laws operate, we can start to change our thinking to get in line with these laws. With understanding comes a change our thinking.

Web Resource: http://forgottenlaws.lifetosuccess.com and http://tsogr.lifetosuccess.com

3. Action! – This is where the real magic happens. When you start taking steps towards your desired outcome, you will start to get feedback which will tell you whether you are moving in the right direction or not.

But the biggest thing here is in the way we habitually think and act! We are a bundle of habits and we have habits that have been operating in us from when we first started to learn. And unless we know how to identify habits that are no longer serving us and replace them with habits that will serve us, all of the thinking and wishing we do, will get us no where.

We have obstacles that pop up or we may back slide on a couple of areas we have made some headway in, but in the final examination of the process it is simply our ability to live successfully moment by moment. And build upon the successes.

Some of the challenges we face may seem insurmountable but as we press forward with our eye on our desired result, the day will come when that obstacle will disappear and we will have arrived at our desired result.

And hopefully we will have our next desire in front of us with the challenges that come with our bigger desires.

The obstacles are there for us… to grow and be even bigger!

The obstacles certainly seem to an nuisance at the time but if we look at them as lessons to help us grow, we may be able to get past them with a little more ease.

Success… “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” That definition came from Earl Nightingale and I find it to be one of the best definitions of success.

When you think about it… Life is all about progress.

When we live successfully from one moment to the next, we are progressing and growing at the same time.

When you start working with a goal setting program, this is actually an ACTION plan to get from where you are to where you want to go. This requires that you become someone different then you are right now in order to reach that particular goal.

The particular area we will be discussing today is material or financial goals.

In order to reach these goals, you will need to become a value provider to someone willing to pay for the service you provide. You can become more valuable to your current employer, and in return should be compensated more or you will be hired away from your employer by someone who will be willing to pay you more for your talents.

The only way to make more money is to become more valuable in terms of the service you provide. There is no other way.

There are a few things to keep in when trying to become more valuable:

1. You need to constantly upgrade your skills – Take as much training as you possibly can. But make sure it is in an area that is needed in your market place. Why do think we end up in the financial situations as a society as we are in now? We have a lot of people trained in jobs we no longer need. The only way to change this is by paying attention to the market and making adjustments to your skill set to match the needs of the market place.

2. Try and find ways work that utilizes your unique skill set – It is my belief that we are here on this planet with skills that if we focus our time and energy through that skill, we will want for nothing ever again. They key is to find a market willing to pay for your unique skills and abilities.

3. Don’t get stuck in the rut – I heard that a rut is a grave with the ends pushed out. Don’t fight change. Markets come and go and this is a natural occurrence as the needs of our society change. You need to keep your eye on what is going on and make the necessary changes to your skill set to meet the needs of the current market place.

The prime example of this going on right now is the US Auto industry.

Keeping your skills up to date is the main way to:

#1 Get what you want

#2 To avoid becoming obsolete

As Always, Here’s to your LifetoSuccess,

John Clark

P.S. Another way of to get what you desire is to add more revenue streams to your income. One of the best ways is to do this is by starting a home based business that works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

When is the best time to act on your desires? When the feeling is strong. When the desire strikes, that is the best time to set your desire into smart goals.

As we mentioned in yesterdays post, goal setting is a skill that will guarantee your success. Goal setting is a skill that will help you bridge the gap from where you are to your desired goals.

Steps to using personal goal setting to turn your desires into smart goals:

1. Make a list of your desires – Make this list as long and balanced as possible. In yesterdays post we also discussed the importance of a balanced approach to goal setting.

2. Separate your list into the different categories and prioritize – Now we need to take our list and separate the list in to different categories and then mark then from most important to least important with a numbering system of your choice.

3. Start to run the most important goals in the categories through the smart goals process – For personal goal setting to work it is important to take each of our most important goals as far as we can everyday.

Personal Goal Setting is  extremely important with regards to your success. The better you get at goal setting the better your chances to become a success with your life.

Working with SMART goals is a great way to successfully reach your desires and the more you do it, the better you will become at goal setting.

As Always, Here’s to Your LifetoSuccess,

P.S. Make sure to start to institute personal goal setting into your daily routine and you will soon start to reach all your goals and success will be yours.

When you look at success and living successfully, the bigger the goals you set for yourself the bigger your success becomes.

Goal Setting is one of the areas that you you must become a master of if you are going to reach any great level of success.

Yesterdays post explored SMART goals and the details behind goals that make sense.

In todays post I want to explore the neccessity of setting a balanced set of goals.

Goal setting in one area of your life only will set you off balance which is not a good thing.

Goals in balance is key to success and successful living.

So what areas of your life should you have a balanced set of goals:

1. Career Goals – What do you want to do that will make use of your best talents and abilities? What business would you like to start?

2. Financial Goals – How much money would you like to have in savings? How much money would you like to have at retirement time?

3. Relationship Goals – How much time would you like to spend with your spouse and children? Is there a fractured relationship that you need to rebuild?

4. Educational Goals – Are you updating and keeping your skills sharp in order to produce results that others are looking for? Do you want a degree in medicine or a law degree?

5. Spiritual Goals – This is an area that is personal with most but are you making goals in this area that are important to you?

This will give you a balanced approach to goal setting and no matter what area that you are working on make sure that you are passing them through the SMART goals formula.

Living a life of success is certainly a challenge but one that is worth the time and energy. A balanced goal setting program with a balanced set of goals that are worked through the smart goals formula and you are well on your way.

Goal Setting is one of the most sought after skills in the internet. Most people who want to live successfully know the importance of clearly defined goals with a plan to meet these goals with success.

When you are working with yourself to figuere out what you would like to be, do or have, the most important thing to keep in mind is that you would like to create smart goals or S.M.A.R.T. goals.

S. stands for specific – smart goals are specific. Very clearly defined. It is not enough to say you would like to lose weight. It should be that you weigh and then name a specific weight or body fat percentage.

A specific goals statement would look like “I weigh 185 lbs with 17% body fat.”

M. stands for measurable – smart goals are measurable. When you create a goal there is generally a bridge that needs to built from where you are to where you want to be. Success with this goal could be a simple measurement such as are you there YES or NO.

If you are working with fitness goals, the measurement could be from where you are with your weight to where you want to be. Example: the difference between 215 lbs to 185 lbs.

This is where you get the best feedback with your goals.

A. stands for Attainable. – smart goals are attainable. When you first start with goal setting, you will here that you should make your goals huge and this is true. You may also look at it this way… if someone else has accomplished it then you should be able to attain it as well.

Smart goals are goals that are based on what you want to accomplish and a good rule of thumb is… if you can think about it you should be able to, with the right focus on your goals, attain it.

R. stands for realistic. Smart goals are realistic. You may say to yourself, “What is the difference between attainable and realistic?” Well my friend Mike Litman explains it like this. Mike says that you should set a goal to be a thousandaire before you set the goal to become a millionaire.

When you start working with smart goals, you should dream big and I think the bigger the better. You should never limit what you set your goals at.

But you need to set check points along the way.

It’s great to set a goal to become a millionaire but then you need to work back from there and set check point goals.

For Example the step goals would look like this:

$1,000,000 by 12/2015

$500,000 by 12/2011

$200,000 by 12/2010

$100,000 by 06/2010

$50,000 by 12/2009

When you break it down in realistic chunks, when you start to hit the resistance to your goals, it will be easier to psuh past them.

T. stands for Time Bound. great goals are time bound. Smart goals have a deadline. This is where the pressure to get to where you want to go comes from. With a deadline you could languish in your goals forever not accomplishing much of anything.

Smart goals are goals that challenge you, but keep you in the game when the going gets tough. Smart goals are just that, they are goals that work for you while keeping you engaged and on track.

Success comes from stepping through your accomplishing smart goals and using a goal setting program that keeps you in the game while challenging you to stretch.

Step 2 – Learn how the Laws of Success work and understand them. Create a plan.

The last step is implementation. Putting your plan into action. Without action there is no success. Without action there is no feedback.

Feedback is the breakfast of champions. This will tell you if your actions are taking you closer to your vision or if you are getting farther away and will also tell you where you may need to make some adjustments.

But beyond that the most important part here is your habitual way of thinking and acting. The way you think and what you do is exactly what has brought you to this point in your life.

The only way to get a different result is to change your thinking and your actions. To try and change things by any other method is insanity. The change has to come through your thoughts and actions.

No matter what area in your life you want to make changes in, it require change in your thinking in that area followed by different action.

Your habits are the underlying software that work with or without your knowledge. Your ability to discover those habitual thoughts and actions are key in changing where you are to where you want to be.
