Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work. H. L. Hunt

If you do not know what success looks like then you will know when you have achieved it. And if you do not know if you’ve achieved any success, you may think what you are doing is not producing any result. This is the reason you must know what you want after you have discovered who you are.

This will help you discipline yourself in line with your dreams.

What do you want? Do you want to go to school? Do you want a better marriage? Do not want a new and more fulfilling job? Do you want a more successful business? Whatever it is that you want, you must know it and write it down, visibly where you will see it every morning and be reminded every time.

Writing down what you want is the first step to show that you are serious about what you want and also this makes it possible for you to work towards achieving it. This is not a hard task at first but as you keep narrowing it down to just few points, you will discover that you have to engage all your faculties to determine what you truly want. Just like Jerry Foster book – Life Focus (read this up online).

There are some amazing things you will notice once you are done determining and writing down what you want. You will start living a life of purpose; you will discover fulfillment. And it is not because you are making more money but you are now living a life of influencing because there is a goal you are working towards and the beautiful thing about this goal is that other goals will emanate from it as soon as you accomplish it.   

It is worthy to note that if уоu are nоt соmmittеd tо a specific аnd сlеаr gоаl, then you wоuld nоt асhiеvе it. You must know what you wаnt tо achieve, thеn build a plan to аttаin it. One of the diffеrеnсе between ѕuссеѕѕful and unѕuссеѕѕful people is thаt ѕuссеѕѕful реорlе move tоwаrd a known goal, while thе unѕuссеѕѕful people mоvе rаndоmlу; they are not committed to a goal.

As you read this now, I want you to pause, take out a note and pen.

-       Make a list of what you really want, why you want them and set a time when you want them achieved. Don't worry if the list is filled with your a lot of things, maybe ones you do not see yourself achieving because it is too high or it is too easy to achieve because you have all the requirements to do so. They may be so frivolous that they make you laugh out loud, just write them down.

-       Start taking them apart in relevance to their importance. Categorize them in short term, mid term and long term. And ensure you give each of them a particular date and not an assumption.

-       Research successful people that have achieved what you want. Read up their biography, read everything about them. Go buy their books or read them for free online. There are very few things that have not been written about and that you cannot find online. Now, you are understanding what a coach is.

Do not just live your life by mere wishes. Most people do nоt hаvе a clear and ѕресifiс gоаl in thеir livеѕ. Thеу wish tо bе rich аnd successful, but it iѕ not a gоаl that they muѕt achieve. There is a difference between a wish and a goal, a dream and a goal. If you must be successful, then you must wake up from your dream and pursue it or pinch yourself to reality from your wishes and chase it. If wishes were horses, the blind and beggars would ride. But it is not! And thiѕ is why so mаnу реорlе аrе living an average livе. If you wаnt to bе ѕuссеѕѕful, you muѕt be visionary. You muѕt bе аblе tо 'ѕее' the future уоu wаnt, write it down on a book, board or рареr and tаkе action tо make it соmе true.

“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.” - Daniel H. Burnham
