What are your goals?

“WHAT DO I REALLY WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE?”

If you could do or be or have anything at all in life, what would it be? 

Seriously, stop and think about that for a moment? What would you like to accomplish in your life if you had no limitations? What if money wasn’t an issue or you had more time to reach any goal? Or what if one day you woke up and all the excuses disappeared? What would you do? What would you want for your family life? What would your business or career goals look like? What would you like to have financially? How about health wise, what does that goal look like? What dream do you have for your life? The first step in changing your life is to first allow yourself to dream without limitations. Most people don’t realize that the limitations they place on themselves aren’t real – goals are actually more reachable than we think – we just have to get out of our own away and allow our wings to spread far and wide so we can fly high and accomplish greatness!

We cannot hit a target that we cannot see …

Great now that you understand that you need to get out of your own way and eliminate limiting beliefs in order to reach your goals it’s time to understand that you can’t reach a goal unless you can see it! I’m talking about visualizing yourself being, doing or having that dream you just allowed yourself to dream. I’m talking about writing it down, creating a list and having clarity on exactly what it is that you want to accomplish for yourself. Unless you know what you like or don’t like, where you want to be in a year or in five years or what you want to have or not have in fives years you can never get anywhere or do anything specific. This is your life, your story and you need to take the time to write an outlines, make a list of your goals and create a plan for your future. That is the easiest way to get from where you are to where you want to go – you have to see the path ahead of you and know where you are going!

DECIDING WHAT I REALLY WANT:

  1. What are my 3 most important business and career goals?
  2. What are my 3 most important financial goals?
  3. What are my 3 most important family/relationship goals?
  4. What are my 3 most important health & fitness goals?

It’s time to stop making excuses as to why you can’t be greater or have more. It’s time to release limiting beliefs and create a more positive version of YOU! It’s time to turn the I can’t into I CAN and I WILL or I AM. It’s time to conquer your fears, take ownership of your life and find the path to success. It’s time to be your best friend instead of your worst enemy. It’s time to embrace faith and know that you can do anything you set your mind to!

HERE NOW                      GOING HERE

New Year requires a New Plan!

Are you really ready for the New Year? As 2012 arrives quickly we can close our eyes and almost hear it whisper to us “One, Two, Three… ready or not, here I come!” Just like in the days of our childhood hide and seek play, before we even had a chance to figure out what our next move was going to be, the countdown was over and it was time! Now is the perfect moment to stop and reflect on our accomplishments of the last year and consider where we want to go in the coming year.  You have the power to make those decisions.  It’s up to you to use it !

OK, let’s get started.  First, eliminate all distractions, sounds , whatever.  Sit quietly and ask yourself this question :  “What do I want to accomplish in 2012?” Having a clear definition of your goal is the first step in reaching it. If you don’t know where you are headed than you don’t know what direction to take.  Running a business can be frustrating, stressful, and confusing, at times.  Having goals that provide direction and motivation help us stay creative and enjoy what we are doing.

You know, they say “Time flies when you’re having fun” and I don’t know about you but I think it flies whether you’re having fun or not! It’s happening whether we are prepared or not and we certainly aren’t getting any younger!

Success isn’t something we stumble upon. It isn’t something that arrives at our doorstep by chance or accident. We don’t wake up one day and find that we’re successful. We reach success after a period of time in which we have defined, planned, programmed, worked, walked, sweat, struggled, analyzed, reworked, and believed we could actually reach it. It’s not easy but it isn’t impossible either. It takes clarity, determination and persistence but it can be yours!

In real life you get to define the direction of your business and you should. Do you want to grow or downsize? Should you move to a new location or work from home? Do you want to make more money? Do you want to take on a partner or hire a new employee? Do you want to add a new service or reduce your product line? All of these questions you need to ask and answer yourself and then define what your plan is for 2012. You can’t expect to walk into 2012 without goals and a game plan on how you will achieve them.

Part of what I do as a Business Coach is to sit down with you, as a client, and walk you through this process. I can help you understand where you are, where you want to be and what it’s going to take to get there. My years of experience give me the opportunity to see what you can’t see and then help you plan how to get there.  We can define what you would like, what you absolutely have to have and that middle ground that is a compromise between the two. We can create a realistic, attainable and sound plan for you to start your New Year knowing where you are going and how you’re going to achieve your success.

Sometimes people forget that they have to spend money in order to make money. Sometimes they forget that it’s much better to hire someone that can help them figure it out from a different perspective.  It’s easy to be so close to our business that we don’t see opportunities right under our nose.  Gaining another opinion and brainstorming with other professionals just makes good sense.  I do the same thing for my business.  I have learned that it can cost me more money to try and figure things out by myself instead of bringing in another professional to help share ideas and their expertise.

Knapp Consultants has been offering Business Consulting and  EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING for over 23 years! You can contact me,  Lee Knapp to hear  how I can help you grow your business and further develop the skills of your employees. . (239) 481-8557 or visit www.LeeKnapp.com for more details!
