Hi Andre,
Here is a strategy you can use to ensure you will achieve your
goals. The secret is to put yourself on the line! In other words,
put yourself in a situation where you have absolutely no choice but
to achieve it.
When our brain is given a choice to do something or to put it off,
we will always gravitate towards the easier path. But when we have
no choice but to do something, we will always find a way!
Many successful individuals created the results they did because
they simply had no choice. They put everything they had on the line.
At age 44, Leo Burnett started one of today's largest advertising
companies in the world. He started his business in the middle of
the 1935 depression.
He borrowed against his life insurance policy, mortgaged his home
and threw in every last dollar he had. Talk about putting yourself
on the line.
He knew that he had no choice but to make it work. This 'must'
drove him to build his tiny advertising agency into a worldwide
business, grossing hundreds of millions in sales each year.
When Richard Branson (in pre Virgin Airlines days) was caught
selling records meant for export in London, he was arrested and
charged with fraud.
He was given a few months to pay a fine or risk being thrown in
jail. Being almost broke, he knew that the only way he could make
enough money to stay out of jail was to rapidly expand his
business; which he did by opening more record stores.
It turned out that the need to keep himself out of jail was the
urgent motivating force he needed to build the Virgin business at
lightning speed!
It was this commitment that led him to go on to build the Virgin
empire, which includes an airline company, and become one of
Britain's wealthiest businessmen.
Start Putting Yourself On the Line Right Now!
One way is to make a public declaration of your goals. Better
still, get other people involved in the process of attaining your
goals. Or make a small financial commitment so that it will hurt
not to do it, and your brain will start taking you seriously.
When I tell people to do this, many chicken out and just do not
dare make this level of commitment. It is clear that if you dare
not commit yourself to it, then you were never serious about your
success in the first place.
So, if you are really committed to achieve something significant,
put yourself on the line!
To Your Success,
