Hello Everyone,
With the first month of the year gone past its middle month mark, how are we doing with our set AND WRITTEN goals and plans for 2013?... What? You haven't quite got around to putting your plans and defining your goals for the year in writing? Never mind! Not to despair. A 'late' start beats a NO start anytime. You can pick up the slack and get well on your way to a successful and fulfilling 2013. You may want to go and take a look again or if this is your first visit, read my two part post on goal setting. Hope they help launch you off...
Still on moving ahead in 2013 forward, I got a mail this morning from one of my success partner Brian Tracy which I want to share. It comes timed appropriate to inject a fresh resolve to stay focused on our goals and achieving!
THE 7 DISCIPLINES FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE - BRIAN TRACY
There are 7 disciplines you must develop if you want to achieve all that is possible for you. You can learn these disciplines through practice and repetition until they become automatic.
Goal Setting
Every morning, take 3 to 5 minutes to write out your top goals in the present tense. Get a spiral notebook for this purpose. By writing out your 10 goals at the beginning of each day, you will program them deep into your subconscious mind.This daily goal writing will activate your mental powers. It will stimulate your mind and make you more alert. Throughout the day, you will see opportunities and possibilities to move more rapidly toward your goals.
Planning and Organizing
Take a few minutes, preferably the night before, to plan out every activity of the coming day. Always work from a list. Always think on paper. This is one of the most powerful and important disciplines of all for high performance.
Priority Setting
The essence of all time management, personal management, and life management is contained in your ability to set proper priorities and use of your time. This is essential for high performance.
Concentration on your Highest-Value Activities
Your ability to work single-mindedly on your most important task will contribute as much to your success as any other discipline you can develop.
