Quote of the week

"At least once in your lifetime you have to strive to achieve something that seems impossible, only then you will realize that anything is possible. Unless you put yourself to the toughest test you stagnate. When you go all the way, when you work to achieve your goals without the fear of what if I fail, that is when you are really living".

- Scott Johnson, Ironman finisher

Quote of the week

"It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because... All that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are." - Mark Cuban

Let’s get motivated in 2010!

Happy New Year! This calls for a celebration, but most importantly, it’s now time to start working on reaching your goals for 2010. Maybe one of your goals is to find your dream job, lose 20 pounds, travel to Rome, or even spend more time with family and friends. Whatever goals you plan to achieve, put them on paper and put them into action today!

I think it’s only right to share one of my goals with you for 2010. Last year I ran a famous 10 mile run in Philadelphia called the Broad Street run. I ran the race in 1 hour and 51 minutes. One of the things I did not do was train properly. Well, I have already started training for the race which is Sunday, May 2, 2010. My goal is to run the race in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Yes, thirty minutes better than last year with better training and support from family and friends. As I mentioned in my blog post "Goal Setting: Ways to keep focused and motivated", some goals require you to have a support team to keep you on track. Assemble your “Dream Team” to help keep you focused in achieving your goals for 2010 and beyond.

Again, put your goals on paper and put them into action today. Once you complete one or more or your goals, don’t stop there. Go for as many goals that you think you can achieve.

I wish you the best and I would love for you to share with me some of your goals you plan to achieve in 2010.

Regain Focus To Achieve Your Goals

Are you on track to accomplish the goals that you set at the beginning of the year? If so, you are doing great. If not, you still have time to regain focus and get back on track. As times change, there are factors (economic, social, political, etc.) that can cause someone to fall behind and sometimes not be able to reach their goals. Let’s look at a few things that you have control over that will assist putting you back on track.

First, where are you now within your plan of action? At the beginning of the year, you identified a set of key goals that you wanted to accomplish. Did you keep a written list of your goals and did you revisit this list on a periodic basis? Locate your list and if you lost it, recreate a new one. Make sure you put it in a spot where you can easily access it to keep you on track for accomplishing these set of goals. Whether they are business or personal goals, keep the list visible.

Now that you located or recreated your list of goals you wanted to accomplish, let’s focus on when you wanted to accomplish them by. Has the target date already past? Did you set out to accomplish this by a certain quarter within the year? Maybe you need to readjust the timing based on certain circumstances. Where possible, try to break a bigger goal into a more manageable goal based on time and size. Breaking a goal down can sometimes assist on when you achieve it.

Finally, do you still need the assistance of someone else to help you accomplish these goals? Whom do you need to partner with to put you back on track? Maybe it is a business colleague or mentor. You’re not in this alone. Having the support of others, helps you keep focused and motivated to accomplish your goals.

Getting back on track to accomplish some or all of your goals by the end of the year can still be accomplished. Remember to identify what it is you want to accomplish and keep your list visible. Check the timing to make sure you are hitting the key dates you need to accomplish the bigger goal. Enlist the help of others if needed as they want you to succeed and accomplish your goals.

Quote of the week

Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people." - Zig Ziglar
