As I was driving down the line yesterday to go to a bud, for some unknown reason I began to be aware of the copious diversions and hurdles to my travel.
But, there are also many more things that are beyond my control that I have to deal with, adjust to, or just plain avoid. The weather is the first thing I noticed as I drove into the sun and had to deal with trying to see the road as the sun was low in the sky. But, rain can also obstruct your vision, and even can make the roads slippery and dangerous, and sometimes under water! In the northern states, snow and ice can make travel treacherous, or just down right impossible. We must also, on occasion, deal with high winds, making it difficult to drive and blowing debris onto the roads.
Then there is traffic. Too much traffic can make for a longer trip. Careless drivers weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds, putting make-up on, texting and talking on the phone, eating their breakfast, and taking notes (all at the same time!!), can make your trip quite interesting too! My personal pet peeve is getting behind an 18-wheeler in the passing lane, who just seems to enjoy slowing everyone down, bringing me to the point of road rage - Oh, that's another traffic issue. Construction zones, damaged roads, and detours are also among the many obstacles to driving.
There are many issues that we face when we drive our vehicles down the highway, and life is exactly that way too! Think about it. There are only so many things that you have control over in life. You can control your decisions, your reactions, the friends you keep, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, and a number of other trivial details.
Beyond that your life is completely full of marriage issues, dating issues ( if you are single ), character issues, parenting issues, day by day financial issues, office issues, church issues, issues with your neighbours and the like. Then, add the list of issues that come with being a businessman ( workers, accounting, overhead taxes - again!? ), and it occasionally feels truly tough to conquer it all, and stay on the trail of fulfillment in business. So how will we do it? How do we win in this race on the road of life, far less finish? And how will we win as entrepreneurs? With such a lot of things to pull us down, how will we continue to push ahead and make any progress towards success? Now, I suspect we all outline achievement in alternative ways, so that the end game could be different for every one of us. However these 3 tips will be worth applying to your life, regardless of where you could be going. If we're going to win as entrepreneurs we must :
So how do we do it? How do we win in this race on the highway of life, much less finish? And how do we win as entrepreneurs? With so many things to drag us down, how do we continue to forge ahead and make any progress towards success? Now, I believe we all define success in different ways, so the end game may be different for each of us. But, these three tips will be worth applying to your life, no matter where you may be going.
A safe driver perspective would be one that has got a healthy respect for others, and the risks that come with driving. Having the right perspective as a businessman means that we intend to never accept "status quo." Being average or lackluster is unsatisfactory! Struggling for excellence in all we do drives us to run in such a manner as to win the race. There may be no whining or protesting either.
Having the right viewpoint as a businessperson means that we plan to never accept "standing quo." Being average or disappointing is unsuitable! Wrestling for excellence in all we do drives us to run in such a way as to win the race. There could be no whining or objecting either. Circumstances, barriers, and challenges come, and they will go. They are beyond control, and always will be there.
Our life will eventually be measured not by how difficult our road was on the way, but by how we navigated the course - how those challenges made us bad or good. Ultimately , there might be no excuses.
One thing I've heard and experienced is that in business, we shall either create excuses or cash, but never both. Whiners are never winners.
2 ) Get the Right Training . We must go to driver coaching college, pass a written exam, and a driving test in order to be approved to drive. We need to be well trained if we are going to drive our firms in the proper direction.
3) Keep the Right Focus.
We don't always have got the benefit of great training, so the same principle applies.
Make a vision statement and keep it in front of you at all points. Set some goals that may keep you on schedule to achieving your purpose, and adjust when required. Write and review your vision statement and your goals each morning, and constantly. There are several diversions : new deals, fresh products, and the "latest and best" everywhere. Staying in your goals keeps you grounded with your eyes straight ahead targeted on your ultimate destination.
Keep them in front of you - I have an acquaintance who keeps his all over the house, and even posts them on the dashboard of his car. Post them on your mirrors, on the refrigerator, create a screen saver, design a new wallpaper for your computer or smart phone, place them on your night stand, write them in your planner. The possibilities are endless, but keep them out in front of you, and then relentlessly pursue them with passion! Look straight ahead as you focus on the finish line! Keep your eyes on the prize, and let nothing, or no one distract you!
I just wish you the best as you travel down this road of life and achieve your final success - whatever that might be. In fact I highly recommend that you discover the many different online marketing strategies that are available.
