Why The Delay?
by Dave Cleinman
Where have I been, and why did I stop publishing th newsletter for
almost four months?
In reality, I have simply been focused on other projects, and the
newsletter, while well-received had not become the powerhouse I had
hoped. After several weeks, however, and many requests, Here it is
again, in full glory, focusing on motivation and personal ambition,
rather than on general business building strategies. Keeping that
in mind, here is today's article from my blog: It is SOOO
important!
Keeping Spirits High When Despair Seems Everywhere
by David A. Cleinman
Let's face it,
Economic problems, unemployment, foreclosures, overzealous airport
security, a bickering and ineffective government, ever growing world
instability, and simple personal issues that require our attention
when our energy is already low all combine to make life seem like a
perpetual uphill battle. People are getting more and more discouraged
and worried, and there seems to be no plan among world governments to
solve these problems.
"IT'S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!" Captain Smith tells his
crew when Titanic is about to sink.
Nowadays it appears that as economies sink, that very attitude is
becoming more and more pervasive.
So what can the little man (or woman) do to stem this tide and take
back their lives from the economic and social monsters that are
rampaging unchecked?
1. Decide what it is we most wish to accomplish. I won't make any
judgements here. It could be anything. The idea is to seek one's
greatest life desire.
2. Establish a plan for accomplishing it. Everything from removing
personal obstacles, to establishing a schedule of activities.
3. Go for it. Let nothing hold you back.
4. Realize that if you are not working to accomplish what you desire,
you are working to achieve someone else's life goals!
5. Get the process started. Take daily action and don't dwell of
problems, setbacks, or slow progress. Just keep going.
6. Enjoy the journey! This is the key that keeps people going through
tough times, and also makes the process very enjoyable, even if things
are happening slowly.
7. Celebrate successes, no matter how small, and do more of what is
working.
I know that these seem like an abstract outline of ideas, but only
the person reading this can choose what it is they want to accomplish
and how they want to go about it. Beyond that, the steps are pretty
much the same. The real point is to get the process started!
My Best,
