Try to think a little different. This really works wonders.

1. Think 10 years ahead and set meaningful goals.

One of the biggest differences between those with wealth earned and those without
it is the idea of vision. We are not talking about vision for your business, but rather a vision for your own lifestyle. You can’t get big changes done in two years, but being
able to look ahead 10 years and then work back is the key to successfully reaching goals. Most look 2-3 years ahead and typically reach their smaller goals, but as a
result they focus on irrelevant goals.

Things like buying a house in two years, or buying a Ferrari by 25 are simply useless goals that hold no weight.

Set larger goals based on your evolved capacity as knowledge is compounding,
rather than focusing on smaller actions like attaining luxuries that have no value.

2. Don’t allow fears to stop you.

Even after you make millions, you will still be faced with internal fears. The difference
is that fear shouldn’t stop you from moving forward.

Think of it as you being afraid of heights and then skydiving; keeping in mind that
the hardest part of the equation is moments before you jump out of the plane and
not the actual fall. Understand that our perceptions of fears are much more powerful than the actual action that we fear and realize that no one is immune to fear, but we have found ways to not allow them to get in the way.

3. Close loops every single time.

When you have learned to make money, you tend to realize that nothing you have
ever gotten was free. While some things in life cannot be exchanged for monetary goods, they are still not free. Even the best of friendships is a give and take, and
not always a give and take of equal value to both parties, but satisfying just enough
to keep the relationship going. Understand that everything that goes up must come down, and everything that gives must take.

Most poor people don’t understand that and often ask a lot or expect a lot and have
no plan in closing the loop once they receive things, which is why we typically don’t
like doing business with them.

Remember I’ve shared before, ‘The more you give, the more you receive’.

Think of it this way, if you get a ride from a friend for 30 miles, you have to be considerate of the fact that the person has spent gas and time to drive you. There should be something to close that loop by repaying them, whether it be $20 or a
favor back at a time of need. (While in a friendship there are ways to make sure
this exchange is continuous, but it doesn’t have to be immediate; we’re not business partners!)

4. We act based on facts, not opinions or assumptions.

Too often, people have intense emotional reactions which cause them to put themselves in bad positions. When you succeed, you realize that you live a rational
life filled with the ability to think before you act rather than act and then think. The
main difference is the immediate reaction that occurs in successful and unsuccessful people. The key to success is in how you react to situations. To one who has tenacity, he sees opportunities and work towards it. To another who has a mind of self-defeat, then his worlds might just crumble before his eyes.

Hello Ken, thank you for your blog post, meaningful goals good thing and I believe fear holds many people back! I like the last sentence; “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”

All the best to you Ken, Roy.

Yes Roy, my good friend Zig Ziglar.
That is so true, without action nothing will happen.
Take action today in a positive way, and set goals
for your future, not just next year. 2017 will be your
year to start bringing things together for your future..

Some wise and deep philosophy, which only a few will really take to heart. You have learned some of life's great lessons and have the will and ability to share them. For that I thank you

Yes John, life's lessons have been valuable to me.
I believe it is my duty to share with those who want
the great opportunities available to them.
I know that only a few will really take this to heart.
It is that few I am here for. We can not reach them
all by ourselves, we need more helping hands.
I am Blessed each time someone benefits from
something I share, be it written or a guiding hand.
WA affords us this opportunity with this great platform.

I like the end of your post, and it relates to me, at first I am scrambling of what to write in the content, I am not saying that I am excellent now, but as days are coming by, I do know where to get what I have to write, and the many inputs of fellow members really helps, and those that are making sales are an inspiration. I do agree with you that to be great, we have to start. Thank you for posting an inspirational blog.

Nerses, I am pleased that you enjoyed it.

Quite a reasonable post, containing some good observation and suggestions, Ken.

Sheila, thank you.

You're welcome, Ken.

Nice advice thanks, Ken

Mike, I hope it helps some.

That is such good advice Ken , it is so good to know where we are heading.

It is also vital to our true successes Alexander.

Thank you, Ken, for your great advice. I am a gullible person, so I like a chance to think about decisions before I act. Unfortunately, this is not always wise because of missed opportunities. I am still working on that flaw. Instincts are usually a better judge than your heart, right?
Ken

When we have good instincts Ken that is true.
The heart is a great guide sometimes.
Not generally in business however.

Thanks Ken!

My pleasure Randy, try it out.

Fab advice Ken, thanks :)

It really does work Jude, just 21 days to change habits.
Total of 90 days to get it set in our minds.
