Happy Week to All,
Many people I know are so talented, yet their results are mediocre. This I believe is because they don’t prioritize. So I taught I should start this week with a post on this topic.
Prioritizing is something that we all have to do, and it is easy to get distracted from. Whether you work part time or full time, or have young children, or just get interrupted by visitors, keeping your priorities straight in your mind will help you stay on track for your goals.
This is what you need to do with your goals. Here are the steps to planning out your priorities:
Plan your big goals for the year.
Figure out what is currently earning you the most money. With that in mind, plan goals that will build on your success, and expand it to new areas.
Plan to grow your current successful trends to increase your income from those sources
Create steps to take that will broaden and strengthen the priority income stream.
The point of having this priority list straight in your own mind is for when all of the distractions come along. You can go back to the list and say to yourself, “Is this where I need to spend my time? Do I have time to do this and reach my goals?” If you can’t, it is okay to say no. You can always tell the person that while it doesn’t fit into your work schedule right now, you may be able to do it at another time.
Refocusing on your goals on a daily basis either through visualization or through looking at a list, or whatever process works best for you will also help keep you on track.
Picture yourself with all of your bills paid, or a pile of money in the bank, or standing on a beach in Hawaii with your family, driving a new car or riding your dream motor cycle.
Goals and priorities will keep you working towards your results when the distractions in your daily life get in the way.
