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?

So many things come to mind when I think about what it means to be strong.

Being strong doesn’t mean bottling up your emotions or pretending that things aren’t happening.  Strong for me means seeing the problem/obstacle or the situation and not letting the force of it push you over. Looking at it from all angles and working out the best way to detour around it.

Being strong means thinking ahead and planning, working out the best way to tackle the next thing. Not laying down and thinking this is all too hard. Challenges and Adversity are part of life and are thrown at us to make us stronger, to help us grow. Without them, life would be easy and boring.

Sometimes we have to be strong for other people, even when we don’t feel strong ourselves. This is usually the times that we can grow the most and assist others in growing and becoming stronger too.

When have you had to be strong? When you really didn’t think you had it in you?

It still surprises me every day how many people I meet that have never written down their goals. A lot of people think that if they have a dream in their head, that’s a goal. A goal really isn’t a goal until you have written it down.

So how do I write my goals? I have a few strategies which work for me that I would love to share.

I have an A6 spiral notepad. In the back of the book are my BIG long term goals - the dream goals. A few pages in from there are my affirmations which are basically my goals stated as they are already true - in the “I AM” format. In the front of my book are my monthly goals - the stepping stone goals. I only write these at the start of each month not in advance. So I may have a list of 5-10 goals for the month (which are small steps towards my bigger goals).

To make it even more fun, you could have a reward at the bottom of each month. Eg when I achieve 5 goals this month I will treat myself to an hour massage. The tip here is to actually do the reward when you deserve to and not before.

How do you do goal setting? It is written, visual? What strategies do you use?

It is a very big topic at the moment. Many industries now require their employees or professional members to partake in Continuing Education to accrue “CE” points to keep their jobs or licenses... in Australia and around the world.

Continuing Education plays a big part in the continual and growing success of a person and a business.
Whether your Continuing Education is accredited or not, doesn’t really matter; as long as you are growing and learning new things that will assist you in taking yourself, your business or your position to the next level.

What kind of Continuing Education should you look at? I think Personal and Professional Education are the most important. Without them you could do all other manner of education in the world, but unless your mindset is properly developed, it may not get you where you want to go.

Continuing Education can come in the form of DVD’s, CD’s, Seminars or Online Webinars. You can choose any or all! Keep improving your knowledge along with your mindset and the results you will create for yourself will be amazing.

What Continuing Education have you done recently?

Your mindset plays a very important part in the outcome of your life. Whether you create success or whether you are still dreaming of it!

Your mind can sometimes be the exact reason why you didn’t achieve what it was you wanted. It can be the biggest stopper in your life. Why is this? We all have what are called limiting beliefs. A belief we take as being real because we have not seen any evidence to prove to us otherwise. Unless we work really hard to move past these limiting beliefs, we stay stuck in our current reality and don’t try overly hard to move toward our goals because they seem like too big of a dream.

The people that do create success and go out and get their goals are the ones that see the limiting belief and turn it into drive to make a new belief which is so much bigger than their current mind can conceive. Once it is achieved their limiting belief is then so much less limiting and a higher belief is established. After all – beliefs are just thoughts that you have thought over and over; your mind thence taking them to be real.

You are totally in control of your journey in life, and deserve to have the best one ever!

What are some limiting beliefs that you have come to on your journey? Did you let them stop you or did you push past and create a new belief?
