We can invest all the effort in the world in our goals, but if our efforts are not:
Focused
Consistent
Purposeful
Backed by our belief in them
Our efforts will simply be that, just efforts.
I challenge you to examine all of the work you have been executing to move you in the direction you aim to go.
Have you made progress?
Are you still in the same position you were last year?
Are you receiving solid results from your efforts?
If your answer is “no” any of these, it’s time to formulate a new game plan, or else you will continue to waste valuable time that could otherwise be vested in viable solutions that bring you tangible results.
If you don’t know why you have not been receiving the results you desire, you might need to invest in educational materials to assist you. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars either. Sometimes the only idea you need comes from a free:
Book
Podcast
Radio show
Conversation with a friend, colleague, mentor, or experienced professional
Webinar
Before you give up on whatever you aim to achieve, GET HELP, and CONTINUE TO GET HELP. As you accumulate knowledge this will help you make more informed decisions to guide you in the right direction.
Our goals aren’t meant to be accomplished without help. We need guidance.
