Volume 3, Number 13, December 20, 2003
This is a very short newsletter year-end edition to help you structure
your goal-setting for the new year.
In This Issue:
=========================
1. FILL UP YOUR NEW YEAR WITH PREMIUM
2. SET A STRUCTURE FOR SUCCESS
=========================
1. FILL UP YOUR NEW YEAR WITH PREMIUM
Do you put the best gasoline possible into your vehicle? When
I owned sports cars, I searched for the best high-test premium
gas possible, and my cars thanked me with peak performance.
What are you putting into your brain?
--> Inspiring thoughts or tired thoughts?
--> Action thoughts or quick-sand thoughts?
--> Mental toughness thoughts or thoughts that keep you brittle?
I start and end every day putting the best high-test premium thoughts
into my mental gas tank. How about you? Here are some of my favorites
that help me start a new year.
"Aiming for perfection is always a goal in progress."
--Thomas J. Watson Jr. IBM
"Be not afraid of growing slowly...be only afraid of standing
still."
--Chinese Proverb
"Above all, try something."
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do."
--Henry Ford
"Goals help you overcome temporary life speed-bumps."
---Bill Cole, MS, MA
=========================
2. SET A STRUCTURE FOR SUCCESS
In 2004, plan your work, and then work your plan.
To do this, build automatic structures to assist you in being
successful. These safeguards help you stay on track with supreme
focus and act as buffers for times when you might otherwise fall
off the success path.
Here are some examples:
1. Devise processes and systems that handle small, previously
disorganized tasks.
2. Enlist detailed support in tasks from people you trust.
3. Create ways to discipline your mind to accomplish important,
regular tasks.
4. Meet regularly with a trusted advisor to discuss your progress
and refocus.
5. Make a commitment to yourself by doing short daily, weekly
or monthly accountability check-ins with someone.
6. Review your life goals daily, without fail.
7. Schedule important, regular tasks (that you never used to write
in) in your daily planner.
Follow these seven tips and you'll create structures that will
hold you steady in the strongest winds of adversity.
Finally, this is one of my favorite quotes that keeps me grounded.
"Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind
of order that sets me free to fly."
--Julie Andrews, star of stage and screen
