Goal setting for the successful painter Part 3

By Terry | July 27, 2009

con’d from last Monday’s article

Step 3- Take persistent action

Motivational speaker Anthony Robbins says, “Goals are just a dream with a deadline.” Make up your mind that you’ll do something everyday that brings you closer to your goals. Your business goals should reflect and support your personal goals

Become selfish about how you spend your time. Get in the habit of asking yourself, “Will this decision take me closer or further from my goals?” Decide right now that you’re no longer willing to pay the price your old habits are charging. Take an active role in your decision making and refuse to just, “go with the flow.”

The primary difference between high achievers and everyone else is persistence. As soon as successful people become fixed on a goal they take immediate action and don’t stop until the goal is achieved. If you’re not operating your painting business the way you dreamed, it’s because you just haven’t found strong enough reasons yet. Strong reasons fuel your emotions with a burning desire to take persistent action to create the business (and life) of your dreams.

Just remember to slow down occasionally to enjoy the journey.  In its own way it’s as exciting and as fulfilling as the destination. Dream big dreams and set big goals. Always shoot for the moon that way even if you miss, you’ll still be among the stars!
