Decide to "Go For It" today.. no excuses!

By Dan Robey

Now what about this "Go For It" Stuff?

OK...

You are probably asking,

"what is IT"?

What am I going for?

"IT" could be any worthwhile goal

You want a career change

You want to make more money

You want to start your own company

You want to retire early

You want to get over a health problem

You want to be a better father

You want to be a better mother

You want to break a record in sports

You want to lose weight

These are just a few examples, your "IT" could be something completely different. However, there is no doubt that you have

an "IT", and that your life will change

if you reach your "IT" goal.

I know that many of you are saying, "With the global recession that we are in right now how can I set any goals for a better life?"

Recessions are not permanent.

The economy is already improving, things will get better.

OK, back to the question, what if you decided today to go for "IT"?

It might mean setting goals, it might mean more work, it might not be easy, it might be harder than not going for it.

But you know that your life would

be better if you went for "IT" and

got "IT". If you reached your "IT" goal your life would be better, you just know it, and guess what.....you are right!

I challenge you right now, as you read these words to take the plunge, to make the decision right now, TO GO FOR IT!

Because

it matters…

Because

"IT" can change your life.

Because success is always more difficult than mediocrity but the rewards are HUGE!

Because you CAN do it

Get out a notepad and pencil or pen right now

Write down an

action item list

What will you need to learn

to reach your IT goal, who will you need to enlist to help you?

This is important...right down all of the following:

The "IT" goal. Write it down and look at it everyday.

Read it aloud and visualize yourself as already reaching it

Play this visualization back in your mind every night as you go to sleep. Create an incredible, colorful and detailed movie in your mind, picture your life after

reaching your "IT" goal.

Set a deadline when will you reach your "IT" goal?

Make a list of steps you must take to reach your "IT" goal.

Make a list of people who can help you and resources you will need to help you reach your "IT" goal.

Go to bookstores or library's right away and read books that teach

you how to reach your "IT" goal.

Keep track of what is working and what is failing...remember you will learn from your failures.

Find a mentor....someone who has been successful at reaching

your "IT" goal. Model yourself after that person, learn how that person became successful and copy their model. Do not reinvent the wheel. If you want to quickly reach your "IT" goal, find someone who has already done it...follow their lead, they already made many mistakes which you can learn from.

Only tell people you love such as spouse

and children about your "IT" goal. They will encourage you and help you. Friends may be inclined to discourage you. Why?

Because they may have an "IT" goal too, that they have never reached. What if you

reach your "IT" goal..will they be jealous?

Focus on your "IT" goal everyday until it becomes a part of who you are.

Most important of all..make the decision to go for it. The "GO" decision is the key.. you must decide and you must decide

NOW.....will you decide to go for "IT"?
