Achieving your Goals: Trust Yourself; Coach Deborah

Aug 26, 2011 by Deborah

Many want to know what one component is required to achieve success? Or is there such a thing as a smart goal? Job goals? Some call it luck. I don’t believe in luck; people I observe with success work hard – very hard and forgo many things temporarily to achieve it. They’re willing to get down in the trenches for a bit to have reward on the other side. This goes across the board: it could be a personal or professional. Success is simply the sum of all the activities you’re willing to do for your goal – processed over time. Read: “The Compound Effect” by Darren Hardy.
I have come across many a “naysayer” as I’m sure you have. Let’s be perfectly clear: naysayers are cowards in my book. They don’t wish to take risk themselves but they believe they have the right to influence another. Dealing with difficult people has to be a direct approach. Ask yourself: “Why are they influencing me this way? Is it for my good, or theirs?” Honestly, you will have to spend less time around them. Staying positive involves consistent work towards confronting fear and negativity, which lessens over time, closing the achievement gap. After a while you begin to see that the real fears were your own “thoughts” & negative influence around the new venture – not the venture itself.
