Faith 09/01/2011
Faith is your confident expectation of what will happen, but without the evidence to prove it. When you walk in faith in your life, you EXPECT certain things to happen. What you EXPECT to happen, does happen, because you EXPECT it to happen. You inspect what you expect, therefore you constantly watch what you expect to happen in your life. What are you expecting to happen today?

Goal Setting 201 08/01/2011
Goal Setting 201
So, you’re an achiever in life, right? You think you have pretty good goals. You’re a business owner, corporate executive, entrepreneur or someone who wants to achieve more in life. You’ve been to seminars about setting and achieving your goals and you think you’ve pretty much got it down. Well, I would submit to you that you have heard only the first session of goal setting.
More than likely, you’ve heard about setting S.M.A.R.T. goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic or Risky (depending on who you’re learning from), and Timely. This is a very common acronym for goal setting and it works…to a point.
There is another way to look at goal setting. I’d like to share this with you today. First let’s define some things. Let’s define success. You probably have your own definition of success, but for the purpose of this discussion, let me use this particular definition. This is from Earl Nightingale: Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. It is not a destination, it is a progressive journey. Secondly, I’d like to define the purpose of a goal. The purpose of a goal is to grow. It is not to achieve something, it is to grow.
Now, with these definitions, let’s continue.
There is another way to set goals. There are 3 categories of goals, they are A type goals, B type goals, and C type goals. The A type goal is something that you, the Business Owner or Executive, already know how to do. This is where most people set their goals – and also why most people don’t achieve what they want in life. There is the B type goal. This is something that when you inventory what you, the Entrepreneur, know you’re able to do and stretch yourself a little and you think you can make this happen (that’s why your started your Business, correct?). Lastly, there is the C type goal. This is a goal that you have no idea how to achieve. This is a dream or a fantasy for you. You want this, but don’t have any clue where to start or how to accomplish it. It is HUGE. THIS is the type of goal you want to set in life. This is also the type of goal that you need help to accomplish. This goal will cause you to leave your comfort zone and cause you to grow in life. This goal excites you and scares you at the same time.
This is how goal setting is done.

Dreams 06/28/2011

Change 06/21/2011
"Not until the pain of the same is greater than the pain of change will you embrace change."
Dave Ramsey
Your purpose requires change. Until you accept that the pain of change is less than the pain of staying the same, you will never go beyond where you are. How much pain is there in your current situation? Will changing it be more or less painful?
