Beyond Goals: Creating Your Own Success Blueprint

Mon, Oct 22, 2012

Do you have everything you could ever imagine ever wanting in your life right now?

If, “No!” there are but two (2) reasons. Don’t worry, I’ll get to those in a moment.

Take a moment.A let your mind experience you an a state of perpetual abundance—f-r-e-e from a single unmet desire in your life. Imagine what you’re going to feel when you can stop resisting your desires and take deep, long over-due inhale and let it flow.

Success is never an accident.

And yet, if you’re like me your constantly falling back on the mistaken belief that working harder and sacrificing more will get where you want to go.

That’s my kryptonite. I admit it.

I was catching up with my good friend Tom Terwilliger a few weeks ago Thursday…Rreflecting on the year—why we’ve not spent the sort of time together we usually do.

“I’ve just been so busy,” I told Tom.

“Yeah, I get busy,” said Tom. “Has it been a good year for you.. personally…business?” He asked.

“No, not really.,” I mumbled in frustration.

Now, I had a sense I’d just set myself.

Here I am talking with my pal but I also get he is “The Achievement Coach.” The guy who wrote the definitive guide to goal setting and achievement the #1 bestselling 7 Rules of Achievement.

And boy was I ever right…

“Busy is a lousy but common substitute for results. It’s not a cause but a symptom—a strong indicator that you’re goals are…

Outdated and expired
Broken and uninspiring
Unclear and undefined…”

Tom rambled off at me with authority. And I knew that instant he 100% correct.

I’d been running on tired, foggy goals for too long. Working harder and harder to make up ground on a success map that was as clear and defined as a bowl of oatmeal.

Now I don’t have all the answers—I don’t need to. What I do need and want is people to bring their Strengths to help me get better. Life is a hell of lot easier when we’re all playing to our Strengths and not trying to be know-it-all.

That’s why I asked Tom—right then and there—to give me a Goal make-over! I needed to get clear again—to see where I am and where I am going. I know this stuff but knowing it isn’t enough. Tom went one better—more than just goals—he suggedted The Success Blueprint!!

That was then… Today I’ve got a clarity I’ve been missing for… years, likely. I feel like I’ve awakened from a groggy sleep. That’s the thing about properly set goals in a framework for success—they release energy that you’ve had sitting there. When you feel like you’re short on energy, can’t do it any longer, think again.

I’ve been like that for months, or longer…and now it’s energy. I feel the energy that’s been missing. It’s like doing my 12-Day Reboot for your success. It just releases the energy that has been waiting for you.

As Tom explained to me there are 7 critical components to creating “Your Success Blueprint.” In this recent interview with Tom where he talks about The Success Blueprint—he shares is pretty much just as he did with me.

Pay close attention to this point—I think it’s so true and important: “getting what you want in life is a whole lot more complicated than just identifying it…”
