Many of us have achieved success based on an external focus — an ability to accomplish what we want outside of ourselves. We can make quantum leaps simply by focusing on ourselves first.
If you want to have a better business, become a better person. If you want to create new markets, become a better person. If you aspire to greater spheres of influence, become a better person.
Creating Quantum Goals — A quantum goal is reachable, achievable, but beyond your current expectations. “Quantum goals aren’t unrealistic — like I want to be President of the United States in 18 months — but they do involve taking risks,”
Reviewing Goals for Focus — “I believe in reading your goals out loud at least twice a day. Carry them with you, put them on your computer screen. By repeating them, they’re in your subconscious all the time,”.
Goals are a moving target. As things change, as new opportunities arise and new people come into your life, you will want to adjust your goals.
Developing the Discipline — Doing what you need to do, until it becomes habit, is a matter of discipline. “Eating less and exercising more isn’t a matter of willpower. It’s discipline,”
“Discipline will help you keep the 18-month commitments to get to the next level,” “I estimate that it takes about six years to reach the perfect state, the ideal world, from working on your goals.”
Finding Supporters For Your Quantum Goals — Focusing on your personal development can pay remarkable dividends. For example, becoming a better “you” can influence who wants to be on your board, who wants to be your COO, who wants to be around you in social settings.
