THE MASTER SKILL OF SUCCESS…
Posted on February 02, 2009 by Ronald T. Brown, Ph.D.
“Developing this skill will do more to ensure your success than anything else you could ever do. In twenty-five years of study and experience, I’ve come to the conclusion that success equals goals, and all else is commentary. Intense goal orientation is an essential characteristic of all high-achieving men and women… It is not possible to realize even a fraction of your potential until you have learned how to set and achieve goals…”
But it can't stop with only writing them down… your goals must be carried with you and reviewed daily.
In his book “The Success Principles”, Jack Canfield shares when Olympic decathlon gold medalist Bruce Jenner asked a roomful of Olympic hopefuls if they had a list of goals, everyone raised their hands. When he asked how many had their list with them at that moment, only one person raised their hand. That person was Dan O’Brien. And it was Dan O’Brien who went on to win the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
Do not underestimate the power of writing down your goals and reviewing them every day. Reviewing your goals daily will cement them into your mind and embolden you to take steps away from your comfort zone, and out toward your dreams - whether your goal is an Olympic medal, starting a business, becoming physically fit, or another vision that is pounding in your heart.
