“The biggest tragedy is the waste of
human resources. The average person goes
to his grave with his music still in him.”
–Oliver Wendell Holmes
Are you honoring your life purpose by tapping into the natural power of the DNA you were born with?
When you feel emotionally attached to your purpose, you can accomplish amazing things that you could never do without that Purpose Power.
Once you are clear about your purpose, the next step is to identify a strategy to help you honor that purpose. Here’s a great formula to help you with that.
- Identify in writing your S.M.A.R.T. GOAL (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely).
- Identify 5-10 STRATEGIES for accomplishing your goal. Under each strategy, identify a potential roadblock and a solution to that roadblock. By anticipating this and planning ahead, you will reduce your own level of frustration as you work to accomplish your goal.
- Using the strategies you’ve identified, write down the ACTION STEPS you will take to reach your goal, including a completion date for each step. If you delegate anything, identify who you are delegating it to and be sure you communicate the deadline for completing the work.
It’s tempting to look at what someone else in your company is doing with great success and try to emulate them, only to find that you hate what you’re doing. Yes, do follow the basics that your company provides, and give yourself the freedom to put your own spin on how you show up and serve. It’s a lot more fun when you tap into your own natural strengths, gifts, and talents. When you do that, it doesn’t even feel like work! Oscar Wilde expressed it best: “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”
You deserve to enjoy lifestyle freedom right now—regardless of your current financial circumstances—while enjoying the journey along the way to financial freedom. You owe it to yourself to fight through the mental clutter of doubt, fear, and past challenges and plug into your own creative genius and untapped potential as you take action that will move you from where you are to where you want to be.
