Face Success Successful people master and maintain good habits they realize
what they do on a daily basis, and where they direct most of their attention, matters
when it comes to reaching goals. The habits you have developed and continue to practice reflects where
you are now. Let’s face it most people
do not practice good habits. The good
news is, if you are unhappy where you are in your life, you can change the
outcome by altering what you do from day to day, developing better more
productive habits. Four habits that will help maximize the results you have
been producing and live the life of your dreams. FACE is an acronym: 1. Focus
your energy, 2.
Ability
to Prioritize, 3.
Completion
of Tasks, and 4.
Excellent
Positive Mental Attitude. 1. Focus
of your energy.
Learning how to
direct your energy towards the most rewarding tasks is crucial for achieving
high levels of success. One of the
biggest mistakes that many people make is focusing on low priority tasks. Take
a look at everything you have going on right now in your life, pay close
attention and ask yourself what the high-value tasks are - the ones that will
bring you the most reward. 2. Ability to prioritize. Think of what is your most
important goal right now (primary
goal). If you had to pick one goal that would make your life become
what you consider success - that is the primary goal. A primary goal is
one that when you think about it makes you feel good and in most cases your
heart beats faster. Focus on that primary goal and soon all the tasks required to reach the primary goal will fall into place.
Then you will need to prioritize your tasks. High achievers never lose sight of the primary goal. Every day, do
something that will move you closer to the achievement of your primary goal. 3. Completion of tasks. Being able to start something and follow through until it's
completed is the key to long-term success.
Imagine yourself completely finishing your projects and tasks to reach
your primary goal. How do you feel when you visualize reaching
your primary goal? The
more you visualize yourself following through and completing important tasks,
the more determined you will be to actually accomplishing tasks. 4. Excellent Positive Mental Attitude (PMA). To be successful, you need to have a positive mental
attitude, or PMA. If you do nothing about negative thoughts, chances are you
will fall short of your primary
goal. You need to continually
feed your mind with positive thoughts and not let yourself or others weigh you
down with negative thoughts / feelings. Most successful people have experienced some sort of setback or
failure. They could have just stopped short of the primary goal and called it quits. Instead, they had a positive mental
attitude about themselves and their abilities, which gave them the power needed
to continue along and reach their primary goal. Creating this sort
of attitude is one of your most important habits that you end up incorporating
on a daily basis. Once you have set your Goal(s) the next commitment or promise you
must make to yourself and keep is reaching the Goal, let nothing stand in your
way. Setting your goal is not necessarily
a process of setting down with goals at the top of the page – then listing. Think of goals this way – when you decided to
get your first car – your thoughts were probably about: 1) how you would feel
driving the car, 2) what your friends may think of you, 3) the smell of new car
leather, 4) pride of ownership, etc.
When you were fully bitten by the new car bug several things started
happening: 1) planning how you would buy the car 2) constant thought about the
car etc. The primary goal was then set – getting the car. I think you know where I am going. Once you established the primary goal, there were a number of tasks that had to be completed to
reach the goal: 1)
Perhaps acquiring the funds for the car, possibly financing and down payment, 2)
garage space, 3) license requirements, etc. – all of these tasks had to be
completed to successfully reach your primary goal. The forgoing about the new car is exactly how to set your life /
business goal. You may be in any type of
job. However, it is important for the primary goal to be your
goal. You may reach goals set for
you, but long-lasting more fulfilling is accomplishment of your personal
goals. If you work for a company that
requires you to produce at a certain level you should tie your personal goals
to the company goals. Most organizations
that have highly productive / highly engaged employees encourage employees to
have their own personal goal and connect to the company goal. Goals – envision the new home, corner office,
promotion, buying a new home or second home, etc. Once you have the primary goal in mind – that all important goal - that stirs you until
you hardly can contain yourself – that is a valid primary goal. Once you have set
your primary goal work
backwards to develop subsets of tasks. Once the primary goal is set put everything you have into reaching it. Make a commitment to yourself, don’t give up
- FACE your success. Keep Track Make sure you remain on course. It is only through clear periodic
measurements that we have any idea if we are getting better or worse. Our lives are shaped by how we choose to
spend our time and energy each day. Measuring
can help us spend that time in better ways, more consistently. The trick is to realize that counting,
measuring, and tracking is not about the result. It’s about the system, not the goal. Measure from a
place of curiosity. Measure to discover,
to find out, and to understand. Measure
from a place of self-awareness. Measure to get to know yourself better. Measure to see if you’re actually spending
time on those things that are important to you. Measurement is not a cure-all. However, it is a way to track something critical: are you actually
working in the areas that you say are important to you? But even for things that can’t be measured, awareness
and tracking can be helpful. And it doesn’t have to be complicated or
time-consuming. |
