CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

After a seminar in Bonita Springs, Florida, I found myself waiting for my flight back to the West Coast. I was at the Ft. Myers Airport.

It dawned on me that an airplane ticket has a lot to do with goal setting.

If I were to walk up to the ticket counter at the airport, put down some money, and ask for a ticket, the agent would probably say, “Where to?”

If I were to say, “It doesn’t matter. Just give me a ticket.”

The agent would, once more, say, “Where to?”

I would not get a ticket because I didn’t specify where I wanted to go. On the other hand, if I know exactly where I want to go, like that day in Ft. Myers, I get a ticket.

Life is the same way. If we don’t identify specific goals, we’re not going to get a ticket to go anywhere we like. We have to write down specific goals, exactly where we want to go, and then life will give us a ticket to the right destination.

If you don’t have written goals for the next 12 months, then I suggest you write down some specific goals that you want to accomplish in the next year. If you don’t believe the goals you’ve written down, then lower them a little bit.

What you see is what you’ll get.

And then identify a specific reward as to what you’re going to do for yourself once you accomplish certain goals. Then I suggest you get a picture of that reward, put it on a card about the size of a business card, laminate it and carry it with you everywhere you go.

My picture happens to be of an island off of Belize, in Central America, called Caye Chapel. I’ve been there. I was flown there by a Houston company to speak for all of their employees. It is just incredible.

Caye Chapel is about a 10 minute flight out of Belize City. It’s a half mile wide by one and a half miles in length. Only 40 guests at any one time. The food is exquisite. The snorkeling is amazing. The fishing is fun. And the atmosphere is so very peaceful.

So, I carry a picture of Caye Chapel with me because that’s my next reward. I’m going back to Caye Chapel. On the other side of my card I’ve got very specific affirmations of things I want to accomplish in the next 12 months.

Can you see the value of doing this? I have a picture of my reward on one side of my card and specific written goals on the other side. Get one of these for yourself and watch what it will do for your future.

You’ll be able to walk up to the counter of life and get a ticket to literally anywhere you want to go.

You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. I see it in you. You are a Champion!

I recently conducted two seminars in the Dallas area and had a free afternoon between events.
Since both of my children were adopted from the Edna Gladney Home in Ft. Worth, I took a drive to go by there. After that, I drove to the northern side of Ft. Worth to visit the old stockyards.

They do something at the Ft. Worth Stockyards that isn’t done anywhere else in the world. Twice a day, at 11:30 a.m. and then again at 4:00 p.m., they have a “cattle drive”.

That’s right. A “cattle drive”. A bunch of cowboys lead 16 longhorn steers down Exchange Avenue for everyone to see what it was like in the Old West.

As I was watching that cattle drive that day, I thought about the correlation between a cattle drive and our goals in life. Most people have no written goals and they eventually wonder “what happened?”

What if, in the Old West, cowboys conducted cattle drives with no specific goal. They would probably just let the cattle wonder off in any direction. They had to have specific goals and specific plans on how to accomplish their mission. Otherwise, failure was assured.

Thus, if you have not written down specific goals for the next five years of your life, shouldn’t this be your “driving ambition” right now? I think so!

Write down specific goals of how you want your life to be five years from now. Where will you live? What type of house or condo? What will you be driving? What do you want your state of health to be? How do you want your most important relationships to be?

Then divide those goals by 5 and define what portions of those goals you want to accomplish in the next 12 months. A further step would be to divide your 12 month goals into portions you want to accomplish in the next 30 days.

Then, like the cattle moving down Exchange Avenue one step at a time, get started on your short-term goals (for the next 30 days) and take one step at a time.

It’s important to actually “see and believe” your short-term, 30 days goals. If you don’t see and believe them, lower the expectations until you get to a point where you say “anybody could do that”. That’s when you’ll believe and achieve those short-term goals.

In time, many short-term goals, accomplished one after another, lead to the achievement of really big goals.

Be sure to identify some sensible rewards along the way as you achieve each goal. That way your mind will get the idea that good things happen when you make a concerted effort to achieve important goals.

Like the cattle drive I saw that day at the old Ft. Worth Stockyards, let’s drive your future in the right direction, with written goals and small initial steps.

Isn’t it time that we “steer” things toward a great future?
