How To Achieve Your Goals

sweet surrender asked:


At this level, studying is all motivational and up to myself as to when, how and if i will even do it.
Current students: what is your motivation and mind set that keeps you going?
Professors: how did you get through like 10 years of school without losing steam?

I have been to quite a number seminar to date, literally spending thousands of dollars to learn from successful people. Usually, they will share a bit of their backgrounds and stories. One thing that I find common among all of speakers is that they take consistent actions to pursue their goals.

One story is that the speaker invested his time from 11pm to 3am every day for 5 years before he achieved the result that he had wanted. Yes, 5 years of hard work.

Another speaker trained consistently and rigorously for a period of time before he embarked on his trip to conquer Mount Everest. Yes, he did achieve his goal.

Yet another speaker told of how she has succeeded in her business by starting off as part-time. She consistently committed 1 hour every day to build her business for a period of time before she started to see result.

Unfortunately, most of us want instant results by taking actions. If there are no guaranteed instant results, most of us will be put off. Some of us may take actions, but if we do not see the progress after a while, we give up.

Imagine you are going to run a marathon of 42 km. The consistent actions that you take maybe like this:

1.Run 5km every day for first month

2.Run 10km every day for the second month

3.Run 15km every day for the third month and so on.

If you have taken actions to train consistently for a period of time, you will definitely be able to finish the marathon. But if you give up in the first month because you cannot see yourself progressing, you will never going to complete the marathon.

No matter what you do, you need to take consistent actions to see result! Please note that consistent actions do not mean repeated actions. If an action does not lead to your goal, you will not get the results by repeating it. Consistent actions mean take appropriate actions consistently so that they will produce results.

For example, if you want to grow a plant. Firstly, you must take an action to plant the seeds. Then, you need to water it every day and make sure that they have the required sunlight to grow. You may also need to add fertilizers into the soil every now and then. It takes a series of different appropriate actions regularly to grow a plant. In other words, consistent actions mean a series of different appropriate actions to produce results.

The idea that I will like to share with you:

Take consistent actions to see results.

To be entrepreneur, whether full or part time, you need to have passion and dream. Your dream needs to be fed by your passion. It is your passion that will hold you to your dream. Then you need to have friends, relatives, or people around you that you can share your dreams with. Be around especially with people that have enormous energy level. That kind of energy level that is positive and can propel you. If you be around people that have energy below you, you can be dragged down. So, it is advisable to give yourself a dose of energy by joining clubs, conference, seminars and events and meet people that can energize you.

Once you are clear with what you want, know your path to wealth, you need to take action. It is only taking actions that we can learn and internalise what we learn and gain. For example, when we reach our 40s, we have lots of responsibilities and commitments. We have bills to pay, mouths to feed and many more. As a result, we develop fear of failure. We continue be an employee, get monthly pay cheque and hope everything remain this way till we reach retiring age of 60-65 years old. But in reality, this may not be true. Companies are getting employees to retire earlier, to keep cost down. I see this happened to many executives in my working life in a number of MNCs. It is sad to see there are still many executives today running into the same situations and and yet not doing something to prepare themselves for any eventuality such as retrenchments.

One of the solutions for me personally is to be part time entrepreneurs. There are many such solutions and avenue available theses day for part-timers. You can teach part time, join a MLM, or the do the latest stuff called Internet Marketing.

The solution to fear is therefore to take small actions. When you take small actions, you will gain experience and knowledge and abilities. Fear will decrease as a result. It is a viscous cycle.

Fear.

Take Small Actions.

Experience Gained.

Ability Increased.

Fear Decreased.

Take Small Actions.

and so on. You spiral upwards!

Fear.

No Action.

Inexperience.

Inability.

Fear Increased.

and so on. You spiral down.

Small actions don’t really risk much. But it can propel us to more positive actions.So, let’s take some small actions today.

And there is a science of getting rich. There is also the path to least resistance to wealth. Many people has not know their path of least resistance to wealth.

So, taking small actions, can help you develop your confidence and help you understand your life path. By taking small actions, you can see better what you can or cannot do. Some even discover their passions in the process. Why not start some small actions today, you’ll be surprise what comes out of it.
