“Dog Days of Summer”

sun with targetSummer heat has taken over, the desire to head somewhere cool looms large – BUT as your Business Results Strategist, I must ask you are you at the midpoint of your 2024 Goals and Results? After these several months working day and night to achieve those goals that were set in January, to perhaps create a new service, introduce a new product, or even design a new business model – have you found that all the drive that brought the initial motivation and excitement has melted away, the steam run out, and the place you are now in is comfortable and the dream world has slipped out from under?

This is a wake-up call! Begin to become aware of your thinking so that you can own your choices and
accept responsibility that your ongoing success must come from you. Your thinking is the catalyst for
how you choose to grow yourself and your business. You must press on; you cannot afford to stand
still.

Here are some ideas to help build commitment and self-accountability:

1. Build on your Achievements, Experiences, Relationships and those results, learnings and fulfillments.
2. Install safety nets that encourage you, friends, the accountability of our Mind Masters groups, Affirmations.
3. Constantly be aware of your thoughts. What you do or don’t do is usually a result of what you THINK!
4. Visualizing your goals creates the energy to keep you moving forward.
5. Measure your progress, question your assumptions.
6. Focus on your possibilities, allow your desires to guide you.
7. Learn to leverage the skills and experiences of other people.

The games of life and business are won behind the scenes, in time spent in preparation. Time invested in
strategy and planning is the ounce of preparation that can overcome the frustrations and stress. Your
date with destiny is TODAY! You were successful the moment you arrived. Success is the opposite of
impulsiveness it is a conscious choice. Your plan and the actions you take to move forward are the
insurance policy for your success. Turn on the “fan” and make it happen.

The Challenge: Stop and take a fresh look at your plans – distance yourself from what’s right in front of you and look out over the horizon.
