Motivational Monday #182: The Key to growth isn't motivation...

  The Key to growth is discipline.       Doing what we need to do, when we need to do it, weather we feel like it or not.  We will never always be motivated, that is why we need to be disciplined in achieving goals. Motivation may get us going, but it's discipline that keep us growing.  It's discipline that keeps us from hitting the snooze button.  It's discipline keep us on our time blocks (or creating them in the first place).  It's discipline that will aide is in reaching new heights that we once thought were unreachable.(and staying there)   We will never drift into sustained success or growth. We only get there through discipline, prioritization & accountability.  Think about ONE area that motivation has wore off. What disciplines can you enact to get yourself back on the track of where you want to be, and not to where you have drifted? ...don't forget to include accountability as well. Having someone keeping you accountable may be the very reason that you

 ...and pursue we achieve. Eliminating distractions is huge in being able to gain & maintain focus. Sometimes that means letting go of good in order to grab ahold of better or great. The decision is usually tougher to let go of good. It works right; but with better out there we need to sometimes. Letting go of bad is easy in order to grasp good; its reaching that next level that is huge. Many have the opportunity, but few do because good is good right?

This is a choice that is made many times a day, from not hitting the snooze button to making the calls, to doing the follow up.  #YOUGotThis

Motivational Monday #180: 3 types of goals

Do Goals Be Goals Have Goals  I believe it is important to pursue all 3 types of goals, but equally important is to know the differences between them. If we don't differentiate them, then they get jumbled, clouded, unclear & lost. It's when we focus, narrow down & identify what we want that the magic of result has possibility. Hard work, dedication, grit & drive will get us there.  Do Goals: What you want to achieve; accomplish. (ie: I want to learn the guitar, I want to become 1st place in the top 3 offices in my market or volunteer monthly) Be Goals: This is all about the who you want/need to become as a person. We don't just achieve our goals, we grow into our goals. (ie: character development, as a spouse, friend, parent or community leader) Have Goals: These are the material things that you desire to own/have. Achieving the above goals help you achieve this one. (ie: 6 months reserves in savings, a rental property, home for your family or a Rolex) When p
