During a consultation last week, I was speaking with a 5-figure business owner who wanted to make $150,000 this year.
Doable?
Absolutely!
Doable with the plan she had?
Absolutely not.
So many business owners create good solid goals and then take haphazard action, constantly led astray by another bright shiny object or thinking the Law of Attraction will deliver it all to them.
The “reality check”?
It’s a combination of taking the RIGHT action in the RIGHT way at the RIGHT time WHILE maintaining a positive and abundant mindset that will propel you forward to your goals.
While you may think this sounds a little tough, it’s a whole lot tougher to close your doors and get a J O B working for someone else, especially after spending thousands of hours and dollars on programs and products, all designed to get you “to the next level”.
Make It Real: My Request To You
First, revisit your goals for this quarter (July through September) and this year.
Second, determine if your goals are REALISTIC given where you are now and your plans (HOW will you bring in the revenue, which projects, implemented when?) for the rest of the year.
Third, either revise your goals, your plan or both so that they’re in alignment and doable.
Fourth. . .take action. Now!
If you want help determining if your goals are realistic and building a plan you can implement to reach those goals (or others we set), you’ll want to see if a strategy session with me works for you.
love it Sandy! action grounded in reality (and I'd add with an energy check) equals grounded and congruent results! joke for you: 6 frogs on a log....one decides to jump off, how many are left? hint: has to do with your post! //anese

Hey Anese,
There's still 6 on the long...deciding without taking action leaves the 6th one on the log. :-)
I sent this out about a year ago...most people missed it. :-(
Thanks for including energy -- it's a definite ingredient for success!
