Life

I truly believe that success in life comes from taking risks, trying new things, and most importantly, having faith in God and in yourself. Think positive and you will achieve your goals.

Many people like myself were brought up to think that life has always been and always will be very hard and that you will have to work a 9-5 job everyday and struggle to make ends meat. And even though a lot of people (even in my family and close friends) think that is the only way to be successful, I, in the other hand completely disagree. I have recently learned that you have to learn how to set specific goals when goal setting and use specific goals in all your business planning. Goals need to be specific if we have any chance of accomplishing them. Setting specific goals when we're goal setting sets us up for success rather than failure. The performance measure in the goal is often a date or a length of time, but it could be any objective criteria that you can use to determine whether or not you've accomplished the specific goal that you've set. This is why it is very important for everyone to have a “vision board”. On your vision board, you will put a picture of everything that you want in life and if you vision yourself in it, if you really concentrate and have faith and just know that you will get it, you will achieve that goal and you will work hard and take risks to get there.
It pays to learn, especially from your mistakes. The successful entrepreneur learns how to deal with mistakes every day. They look forward to the challenge. It‘s important to remember that they don’t have to know it all. There’s always someone they can go to for assistance, support, or technical information. Setting goals to reach success is like climbing a mountain. It takes a very long time to reach the top. Along the way may be several obstacles, but you must keep going. Further on you may stumble and need to rest. To reach the next level, there may be times when you have to take a different path or go around the obstacle. The last step to the top is the crucial one and requires all your concentration. Don’t let the difficult climb persuade you to quit or from setting higher goals. If you enjoy the climb, you will eventually reach the top.
A goal envisioned is a goal half completed. Most people find it difficult if not impossible to expend large amounts of energy on something that they can't "see" as existing in their reality. Creating that vision before starting out on your journey creates a real destination in your mind, which is infinitely preferable to just wondering off in the general direction of whatever it is you want and hoping you end up somewhere acceptable. The stronger and more realistically detailed you make your visualizations, the better chance you have of succeeding. Why leave anything to chance? Picture your goal right down to the stitching, as it were, to ensure that your energy is being focused in the right direction and is concentrated on creating the most effective and appropriate.
