Success really is up to you. It is all about how you feel, how you act and what you do!

A lot of people including myself hold themselves back from having the success they want, for lots of different reasons. Of course we don’t do it on purpose, as who would do that right?

We do it by default, to protect ourselves from failure. As we subconsciously think that if we don’t put in the effort now or we don’t take action on that idea and don’t have success then we won’t have to worry about failing.

Which seems like a strange thing to do really looking at what that means. It means we would rather not aim for success just incase we fail if we do.

So as you can see success really comes down to a few things. First making the decision on what you want, Taking action on what you need to do and then sticking to it consistently until the desired result is achieved!

What is something you have wanted, that you attempted to do and then self-sabotaged yourself?

Determination is a key part of any successful career or success in general. To be determined means to have a set goal in mind that you want to achieve. And you will do all you need to do and keep focused and passionate about that goal until you achieve it. There is no thought of “IF” or “MAYBE” just “UNTIL”.

Determination is a wonderful thing; it is great to have a driving force behind something which helps you to keep peddling no matter what to make that goal happen.

Consistency is also a big part of determination, without it determination on its own wouldn’t exist.

What is the main GOAL you are determined to achieve in your life right now?

I love being able to consistently improve what I am doing.

Whether that is personally or professionally. Always looking for new ones to increase what I am doing and looking for better ways to do things.

It comes back to the saying, if you are not evolving you are dissolving, things never just stay the same.

So what about you? Are you constantly moving in an upward direction, or does it seem likes things are going downhill?

An easy way to start moving in the upward direction is to remember this. All you need to do is improve what you are doing by only 1% each day (You don’t have to totally change100% over night) just 1% each day and by the end of the year you have increased (improved) 365%! How awesome is that?

So what can you do today to improve just 1%? That will assist you in moving closer to your Goals?

Wow can you believe 2012 is here already?

I was shocked when I went shopping on the 27th December and they already had Easter Eggs out.. 2 days after Christmas!!

This year I am prepared. I have a PLAN.. I have my goal list ready and am going to work through them as quickly as I can, as I know last year time just slipped away and once you move something to the side to do “later” it just never seems to be later and the year is finished.

If you need a little assistance with writing your goals out, here is a simple plan you can use

Write a list of your Long Range Goals - What do I want in the next 1-10 years
Take 15 mins (write as many as you can – 50+ items)
Keeping in mind the following questions
What do I want to do? What do I want to be? What do I want to See? What do I want to Have? Where would I like to go? What would I like to share?

Once done number each item with years (either 1,3,5 or 10) – Check goals are in balance, even amount of each. Then choose 4 goals from each 1,3,5,10 Total 16 goals

Write a detailed description of what you want. Why do I want each item? (If you don’t have a great why replace that goal with another one)

NOTE: Review them daily/Weekly

Also write a list of your Short term Goals

What are your main goals for 2012? Personal or Business… What is your WHY? For achieving it!

I am so excited as last week achieved a HUGE income goal I have had for a while now. My Goal was to achieve this in a month. $40,000 profit for the month. But to my amazement and excitement, I have hit this goal already this month (and it all happened in the space of just 4 days!) Yes 4 days!! So now I have the rest of the month to totally blitz my goal out of the water.

The most exciting thing for me about hitting this goal is that it now has become a reality for me and now a goal of double or even triple the amount is so much closer. And I I’ve experienced how easily it can be done. This last 30days for me have been really busy and I have not been trying TOO hard to achieve the goal. I have relaxed and let it happen.

So why am I sharing this with you? Not to impress you, but to share with you the realisation I have come too. When you absolutely love what you do and you continue to do it with Love, Passion and Excitement on a consistent basis, success will come (you just have to be patient and wait until the time is right for you.) You can not force it and make it happen when you want it too.

It has taken me a long time to accept this, as I am an I want it now person. So relax and know that if you do it with Love, Passion and Excitement on a consistent basis your success is on its way.

Get ready as it can come anytime and it will!

Would love to hear what exciting Goals you have achieved already this month?
