‘Born to win’ is a great book by one of my favorite motivational speakers – Zig Ziglar (Nov. 6, 1926-Nov. 28, 2012)
This book is dedicated to all who understand that they were made not with a spirit of timidity, but with a spirit of power and self-discipline.
‘You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.’ Zig Ziglar.
I couldn’t agree with him more. We are only limited by the limitations we impose to ourselves or that we let others impose to us.
When my Clients tell me they want more profits I often ask them – do you want more profits or are you committed to having more profits? Are you willing to do what it takes to get there?
You see, it may come as a surprise to you but I don’t have a magic wand, and paying a Business Coach and Mentor is not a free pass to results.
The Client has to do the work! Success comes from designing a plan to reach your goals based on your values and mission, but this is just the first step! Implementation is as important and it involves daily consistent discipline.
Breaking the goals in steps will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed and will give a sense of achievement as you complete each step. Additionally you will have a better understanding of where you are in relation to the larger goal.
To have success in business you need to work hard, but smartly, so that you have time for your personal life and to take care of your physical health with reasonable exercise and a proper diet.
Follow the plan but be alert to changes in markets and trends and be willing to course correct and innovate!
Keep visualizing the end result and celebrate each win!
There are no overnight successes!
Keep going until you make it!
If you have a Coach/Mentor, they will help keeping you on track by holding you accountable and reminding you of your vision!
Enjoy the journey! It is as much about the result as about the person you become in the process of achieving it!
“The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now” Zig Ziglar
