There are no secrets when it comes to ideas for becoming highly effective and successful in life or in business. What I'll be sharing with you today comes from the same book I mentioned recently, The Hope Quotient by Ray Johnston. Below are a few thoughts to get you thinking about what it is that you want to accomplish.
All forward progress (anything great that ever happens in your life an future) comes from fresh vision. All fresh vision comes from hope (discouraged people don't dream). Hope thrives when you focus on hope factors. The following are hope factors:
1. Recharge your batteries. Nobody does well running on empty.
2. Raise your expectations. You don't get what you deserve; you get what you expect.
3. Refocus on the future. It's time to throw away your rearview mirror. No one goes forward well when they are looking back.
4. Play to your strengths. Be yourself: everyone else is taken.
5. Refuse to go it alone. Never underestimate the power of support.
6. Replace burnout with balance. Burning the candle at both ends isn't as bright as you think.
Reading things can often be inspiring but taking action on what has been read is the key. The above are just words until someone takes these words and does something with them. In other words, it's about putting new thoughts and good ideas to work. I suggest you start by taking #1 and just focusing on that for a couple of days. Do the same with the other five thoughts. Then stick to your plan for making progress.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
