Lovin' Your GOALS Yet?
Copyright © 2006, Mary Foley

I bet you've heard time and again that if you want to create a
successful life, career, or business, you'd better start liking
goals. Make goals. Post goals. Follow your goals. Goals,
goals, goals, it all sounds so disciplined and draining.
Don't get me wrong, I love achieving things that are important to
me. Without goals, I couldn't have gotten this far. But I
needed a new way of looking at goals that didn't make me tired
already.
So, I thought to myself, "Mary, when do you move into action
without hesitation, when you're so motivated you just do it?" Ah,
that was easy. When I really love what I'm doing and am having
fun!
Then I read this by neurologist Donald Calne:
"The essential difference between emotion and reason is that
emotion leads to ACTION while reason leads to conclusions."
A brain doctor is saying that the thing that motivates us to
action is emotion! Not a list of intellectual reasons why we
should get off our duff.
My translation: LOVE and FUN must be well baked into creating
and accomplishing my goals if I want to make them happen!
With that perspective, I determined what GOALS really stands for:
Go
Out
And
LOVE
Someone or Something!
That's right, LOVE!! Achieving stuff isn't worth your time and
energy if you're not passionate about it. Let's get excited
again about our businesses, our careers and our lives! If you're
not, forget any other goals; they really don't matter. Make your
goal to determine what it is that you really care enough to do to
get up in the morning and get going.

- Stand out from the crowds. Educate your prospects and they will turn to you for more knowledge. When they turn to you for more, they will visit your website. It is up to your website copy to sell your products, NOT your article. Provide great information and at your website, address how the prospect will benefit from what you are offering. Using these things in conjuction will help your cash register to ring.
