Wow! What a day. I travelled to Birmingham's NIA for our company's New Year Showcase. Leaving Oswestry at 9.00 in the icy cold, initially visibility was good. However, it wasn't long until I was envoloped in the fog. It was nevertheless a beautiful day, the sun was up there, a watery orange globe off to the south-east, at road level it was as if driving into a white tunnel.
Suffice to say, I arrived in good time to take my seat for the 11 o'clock start. Talk from all the speakers was bullish, to the tune of recession, what recession. The most important message that I got from the day was that instant results are not possible. For this reason, you need to have a very real goal, quantified in terms of what it is and how long it's going to take you to get to it. Then you need a system to plug into, to give you the steps to follow in order to achieve your goal. It is then the case that you almost forget your end goal, focussing instead on several progressive goals as you move along. The only way that you are going to get to where you want to be is to take the necessary action - merely wishing to be somewhere wil not get you there. In three bullet points:
- Define your end goal
- Work out route map by plugging into system
- Follow route map by carrying out the necessary action
