Road Trip All Aboard…..
Road Trip! All aboard!!! This past Friday my partner in crime, the love of my life and I got in the car for a 5 hour long journey to see my mentor, Ms. Dani Johnson. As some of you know, Dani has helped me to become who I am today through her amazing programs. I have been following her now for over 4 years.
I’m here today to ask you what have you done to get the success that you’ve been longing for? What have you done in your lifetime that has perhaps stretched the budget, kept you up late at night, allowed you to sacrifice or give up something to gain a better return on your investment?
Unfortunately, success isn’t a little thing that comes in a big package delivered to your door with a set of instructions telling you what you need to do every day. Success is something you must go after, and it takes ACTION.
So often I hear, “Well, if only she would come closer to my location, then I would go, or if only it cost less, or if only I could “fill in the blank.” We throw in the towel, give up on our dreams, lose focus and give an excuse for something that we have worked so hard to achieve.
It amazes me to know that most of us live in America, the land of the free, the land of opportunity where people come from all around the world to be given a chance for a better life, to start their own business. Yet, I hear people who were raised here as American citizens blame extraneous reasons for their lack of success. Really? If people from other countries can come here and figure it out, why can’t you?
My goal is to give you FIVE principles for achieving success today and get started right NOW.
- Get rid of your EXCUSES. EXCUSES are well planned lies that will hold you down and keep you in bondage for the rest of your life. It’s a poverty mentality and will keep you broke.
- Find a mentor and coach who has had results. Follow what they do. Success isn’t about reinventing the wheel; it’s about modeling what has already been done.
- Plan out your tomorrow today. Set goals for your tomorrow today. Princess Bola says that goals must be S.M.A.R.T. – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time Bound!
- Once you have a goal, create a Master Plan on how to activate your goals. It’s not enough to just have a goal, but you must have a concrete plan to follow daily.
- Write positive affirmations daily. Start speaking positively about who you are, what you can accomplish, and who you can become. You were designed for greatness!
If you follow these five principles, I can guarantee you will start to see small, simple changes in your life that will lead you to a lifetime of success. Success doesn’t happen; it’s a journey, but one must take the baby steps to get there.
Michael Jordan didn’t make it to the MBA by first learning how do dunk a basket ball; he had to learn the basics of dribbling, running, and shooting prior to dunking the basketball.
