Know YOUR GOAL

4 Jun

So I was watching Jay Cutler aka Mr. Olympia at a speaking event. For those of my readers who are like- huh?- Jay is basically the top body builder in the world. People from all over the globe come to compete in the Mr. Olympia. In essence you don’t just walk in and become the champ. You fight and claw your way to the top. And most of your competitors- are former Mr Olympias. Doesn’t it just get better?
I say all this as a preamble.
So let me segway-
Jay was giving a talk, kind of informal and part q&a. And people asked what do you bench?
What do you squat?
Dead-lift?

someone said what do you clear in…..?
And Jay said? I don’t know. I don’t do that. That’s power lifting not bodybuilding.
Said concisely- one is about what you lift one is about what you shape. Power lifters and there bunch are about massive, brute, strength. And they work at it. They put in the hours, no question. But its a different sport. Bodybuilders attain a weight class and size they want. And they don’t just bulk up. They shape it. They even it out. Proportion and mass are balanced. Posing routines are mastered, tans gotten… You get the point.

WHATS YOUR POINT TONY?
Glad you asked.
See Jay didn’t answer. He didn’t get a ‘tude. He pointed out what was His Goal.
He is a body builder not a power lifter. Nuff said. And here in lies the key to today’s lesson: KNOW YOUR GOAL.
Elegant in its simplicity but so powerful.
If you have a goal what is it?
Have you decided?
Is it one goal with a few facets?
Are you trying to build multiple streams of income at once?
If so, brother you might just lose. You see FOCUS. Is the name of the game.
Is your goal- ill be rich. Pretty close. How about my venture will make me rich.
Or I will sign up 8 associates.
I will sell a property a month.
I will save 12 percent of every check I receive.
See the pattern developing?
These are goals. Concise, Focused, you-centric goals.
You-centric. Sounds odd, I know. But think about what it means. Your goal- is YOU specific. See? There’s accountability built into your goal. A dream has now become a goal. A hope is on its path to reality. There’s a specific set of rules to succeed in life. There is no free buffet. Everything has a price.
To be your own boss.
To be independently wealthy.
To be able to live where you want with whom you please and as you please to- all require action. These things require goals,
a plan- a written plan,
A commitment
A belief
And consistency.
Now we have spoke on many of these things and there are more steps and further breakdowns we will discuss as we progress down this road together.
But just as I have committed to this blog you have to commit to ONE, 1, GOAL.
Know this goal. If I asked you at 3am what your goal is would you curse me or have a succinct answer?
And guess what. I don’t expect you will have but one goal. Or even one dream. Life is a series of small victories chained together to create a dynamic, fruitful, epic that will have been a greater ride than the destination. Use THIS Goal as a stepping stone.
Set it. Focus it. Smash it out of the park. Do your end zone dance. And then, rinse and repeat. AKA start the process over. The first goal met will fuel you to rise past the next 5 and so forth.

Yeah,

The three simple steps

3 Jun

So- My regular readers know I’m a fiend for the gym. Now my friends know I’m husky-ish, lol. But see, my goal has always been to build mass, then strength, and beauty aka the gym body is last in line for goals. Now I’m down, down to 270. I was bigger. I was smaller last year but I decided I wanted to be bigger. I decided I didn’t want the trim. I wanted to eat the gym.
Now being the MENSA member I am I hurt my back at a peak of strength 6 months ago. Pressing 120 pound dumb bells on the incline bench I strained my lower back, abs, transversals, and obliques- yup, major ouch.
Now that was the easy part. The mental fear lasted about two months longer.
However, three keys opened the door to a greater return on not only my physical investment in the self but in my online ventures.

What are they you ask? Simple. So simple it scares me.

Belief, Commitment, and Consistency.
That’s it.

So let me expound on this incrementally.

BELIEF- if you don’t believe in you, no one will. So simple its elegance will pass most of us by. Nothing is accomplished without belief. And a million twitter followers might, might help- but YOU HAVE to Believe in you first and foremost. What you believe you will achieve. And sorry for the cheap cliche but its true. How can you lead if you don’t have the belief?
How can they follow one who’s belief is not in his self and then in them. Its like fear- its contagious. So I ask, what do you want to infect your friends, family, team, prospects, leads and even yourself with…..

Commitment: if you don’t commit nothing happens. Belief is simply the turn key. I’d you don’t commit you will get nowhere. Is that success? I’d say no! It reeks of ignorance and fear. Commitment, when based on Belief will take you to heights unseen. Your commitment is like bricks in a wall. The more you re-affirm it the greater the wall, aka your success. Commitment is exactly what it sounds like- a union without end. No boundaries. You COMMIT and make it work. No excuses or theories. Get it done. I could say more but if you’re reading this you get the message.

Consistency: so you get that belief is a stepping stone of epic proportions. And you know you MUST Commit to your self if not to your venture and your success. Consistency is quite possibly the glue of not just simple success but of Leadership. You see for your life or your marriage or your business to succeed- you have to be a LEADER. People want to be lead. They want someone who steps into the void and illuminates the path. People as a whole want leadership- Obama stepped into a gap as big as a continent and convinced the populace to carpe diem with him. Get the point? His message was consistent. His terms as well. He followed through on what he said he would do. He believed he could do it. Most importantly he has been consistent in his dreams and objectives. So you’re a republican- fine. But see the message. Consistency changes not just singular lives but families, neighborhoods, cities and so forth. So I challenge you:
BE CONSISTENT. Let that goal lead you to be the business man and leader you were meant to be. Day in and day out meet every challenge and goal with a zeal that would put St. Peter to shame.
Let that bloom from your commitment to greatness. Your ability to meet every day and every task anew and smash them like a volley in your final match- sampras/agassi style.
Lastly let this all bloom from a healthy BELIEF in who you are and who you can and WILL BE. See, who you are, is constantly changing. Especially in leadership. You must rise to meet the needs of your followers.
A flock with a shepherd who believes he’s lost is indeed lost.
Are you inspired? Do you believe? Want to make huge strides towards not just success and wealth but true leadership?
