When I Was Young And Easily Influenced By The Cliches That Many Of Us Live Our Lives By, I Was Content To Avoid The Brutal Truth, Writes Peter Switzer.
Having emceed an event featuring CanadianAmerican motivational speaker Brian Tracy, who is fanatical about the value of goals, I realised that I needed to be open to luck and flexible to change.
Tracy’s book and talk – Goals – taught me 10 essential truths to achieving your ambitions.
1 USE YOUR STRENGTHS
Look at what you’ve achieved so far and see that as stepping stones to future success. Focus on what you have got right, not wrong, and use these wins as fuel to inspire you to greater heights. Tracy calls it “unlocking your potential”. You need to do a SWOT analysis on yourself as an important first-step goal.
2 TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
Stop blaming others, even if they had a role in your problems. Time spent worrying about the past stops you making the best of the future.
3 WHAT DO YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT?
Get to know yourself better. Write down what you care about and make sure your goals are aligned with that. You might want to give your family a beautiful home with a swimming pool because you want to see your kids having fun. Know yourself, set your goals and make them happen.
4 DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?
