This is the beginning of the fourth and final quarter of the year. Today is the day to make your move forward. The time for excuses, the time for waiting is over. It's now or never. If not today, then when?
"People are always blaming their circumstances for
what they are. I do not believe in circumstances. The
people who get on in this world are the people who
get up and look for the circumstances they want, and
if they cannot find them, make them." ---George Bernard Shaw
Has this year been all that it could have been? Have you left some on the table because you lacked certain skills or the energy, courage and persistence you needed to practice those skills?
Are you getting the results that you really believe that you are capable of? Have you done all the things you need to do to reach the level of success that you dream of?
There are valuable lessons to be learned with each and every setback or temporary challenge we encounter. Are you getting all you can from these challenges? Are you learning and taking steps to benefit from those learnings? Are you taking action?
Success comes to those that are ready. They have learned all the valuable lessons. But, there will be resistance all along the way. Resistance from others who will belittle your ideas and resistance from within yourself.. Hopefully, we have all learned to ignore those who love to critique while taking no action themselves. The most dangerous of these two forms of resistance is without a doubt the resistance that comes from within. "I need to wait until I am ready." "I need to wait until I have more time." "I need to wait until things settle down." "I need to wait until I get things in order." To know all you need to know about these excuses, simply read the first four words and then you can stop...because you know all you have to know..."I need to wait..." If I had a dollar for every time I have heard the phrase, "I know what I need to do, I just have to do it," I would be writing to you from my private island in the Carribean. The only logical response to that question, is "So...how long have you known?"
With resistance must come persistence. No matter what the difficulty you must decide that you are bigger than this challenge and you will overcome it. Sometimes...no many times that means overcoming yourself.
If you are struggling with mediocrity or worse, the first place to start is with yourself, with your mindset and your beliefs. Without the proper mindset, without the commitment to succeed, without the willingness to step outside your comfort zone, all the tools and strategies in the world will only lead to mediocrity.
Now is a fantastic time to really focus and put your foot on the accelerator. Finish up tasks that you have been putting on the back burner and persist in getting them done.
TAKE ACTION.
What do you know you should be doing? What skills do you need to develop or improve? How can you change your mindset for success, re-charge your desire and create new revenue and profit streams?
Persist. Make it a habit over the next couple of days to finish what you start. Be committed to finishing this year where you belong...on top.
Get serious. Get focused. Stop with the excuses. Start living the life you were meant to live.
Here's to your best quarter yet.
I KNOW you can do it.
