Have you ever set a Goal and in the following days, weeks, months or even years, took little or no action towards its achievement?
If so, you’re not alone.
The world moves so fast these days. Not to sound like an old timer, but back in my day… we didn’t have cell phones, computers, PDA’s, ipods or many of the hundreds of devices we have become so dependent upon today.
If you were around back in the 70’s you were lucky if you had 5 television channels that came in from your outside antenna. You actually had to get up off your duff to manually change the channel or turn up the volume. Now we have hundreds of cable and satellite channels and remote controls that work every electronic device in the house!
There was no Google, there was no Ebay and phones were attached to the wall by a chord.
Things move incredibly FAST these days. One of the greatest advancements of the last 30 years is the ability to send information all the way around the world via email in a millisecond, for free if you have an internet connection. I can send an email from my phone in America to my friends in Australia in the blink of an eye. I can download an ebook or even watch a video that my friend 1,000 miles away made 5 minutes ago (thanks YouTube).
I wonder where in the world you are right now as you read this?
What’s good about all of these advancements is that things that used to take years to accomplish 20 or 30 years ago, can now be achieved in a matter of months, weeks or even days. You can achieve your Goals now faster than ever before.
Yet still sometimes you set a Goal but never get it off the ground.
I am here to remind you that there has never been a better time in human history to go after your Goals and Dreams than right now.
Want to learn a new skill? There are millions of tools and resources at your fingertips within seconds. Just Google it.
Want to start a new business, learn a new language, or write a book? Thanks to the internet, you can connect with people who share similar Goals or others who have done it already within minutes. You can publish a physical book within days and an ebook within minutes with very little expense.
You can even download my Goal Setting audio trainings to your mp3 player and take me with you wherever you go! Embrace these technologies and put them to work for you. Let them improve the quality of your life. There is no excuse for anyone to not be achieving their Goals.
My Goal Setting business was started with very little investment. GoalGuru.com’s first web presence was a $ 10 do it yourself web site. That’s a couple of lattes at the coffee shop. You can’t even buy a pizza with $10 anymore but you can launch a business. It was all I needed to start my blog, a newsletter and begin to share my knowledge and coaching experience on a global level… immediately. I had clear Goals, a compelling mission and an enormous amount of energy and determination. I would let nothing stop me. And now you are reading this.
At the same time I launched GoalGuru.com, I had friends and acquaintances who wanted to start businesses too. It’s been two years and they haven’t started anything yet.
Do you want to know the biggest difference between them and me?
I would love to tell you that I am so much brighter or more attractive or had better connections or that I had some other advantage that they didn’t. But that is not the case.
What I had (and still have) that they don’t is very simple.
Momentum.
I set my Goals, took immediate massive action, started the journey and have taken action every single day since then.
What I lacked in technical knowledge, I made up for with massive action. Momentum.
What I lacked in financial backing, I made up for with massive action. Momentum.
What I lacked in skill, I made up for with massive action. Momentum.
Massive action = Momentum
I didn’t wait for everything to be perfect, for the economy to be just right, for every circumstance to line up in my favor- I just got started and took massive action.
I can assure you, whatever you want to do, whatever Goals you aspire to achieve, whatever Dreams you yearn for, you can have them. But not if you don’t ever begin and not if you don’t commit to taking massive action right now today.
The ball is in your court. Always has been, always will be.
You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going.
Take one step, then another, then another. Right now.
Whatever you lack, make can up for with massive action.
What can you do today to advance your most cherished Goal?
Take the first step and revise your plan as you go.
Do it.
Do it NOW.
Got Momentum?
Live Your Dreams
