Achieving Your Goals. What’s On Your “To Do” List?
How do you know the right time to step out in faith?
As an entrepreneur, I get asked all the time how I know when to make a big decision, a decision that could have a substantial impact on myself and my family. The Everyday Is Saturday philosophy is not about quitting your job, it’s about taking time to enjoy things in life that are going on around you. The ability to make a difference in the lives of people close to you, not in the life of your boss.
So many people let life live them instead of living life. I interview at least three entreprenurs each week for my membership site and ask them why some people are paralyzed by fear to try something new. To a person, the response is that people are just programmed to think of the negative repercussions rather than the positive. Their sphere of influence (friends, family, etc) are all they know. If they aren’t around people everyday that have taken risks and been successful, it’s hard to bounce ideas of those people and receive positive feedback.
When I started www.everydayissaturday.com I had one mission in mind, that was to empower people to step out in faith and start believing that the impossible was possible. Stop listening to negative messages or you will end up just like the messenger. Don’t seek out broke people for advice. If you think you have something of value to offer, than by all means make plans to implement your idea. Don’t wait for agreement or you may be waiting for a long time. Leaders don’t put their finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing, they take action. It’s a good idea to form a mastermind group of successful people to help, but not a group of friends to meet at the water cooler.
My post yesterday about “earning $100K in 12 months loving what you do” caused several emails to our website. People just couldn’t understand what it meant or that it was even possible. I say to that - not only is it possible, it’s probable with the right mindset. I’ve been meeting with my mastermind team all week to ascertain the best way to realize this quickly and successfully. I want to help thousands understand that anything is possible. If you feel a void in your life and need to fill it with something totally different than what you’re currently doing, go for it! Quit listening to others tell you that it’s not possible. Just because they haven’t stepped out in faith doesn’t mean you need to follow that same self-sabotaging philosophy. Follow your heart and take a step - big or small, it doesn’t matter - just take one step forward towards your dream. Don’t look for many people to follow, just do it.
After long meetings with the people in my sphere of influence, we put a plan together to help me fulfill another one of my goals I have had on my radar screen for the past 7-8 years. It’s exciting. Why is it exciting? Because I have an opportunity to live life with no regrets. It will be a TON of work. I don’t mind work when it’s related to my dreams, it doesn’t feel like work - it feels like I am crossing off another goal on my “to do” list. What’s on your “to do” list?
