The Four Most Important Words In Marketing

iStock_000019152244Small copy

“If I could teach my children only one thing, it would be the skill of marketing. For with that skill, they could be successful at anything they chose for the rest of their lives.”
That’s a quote from financial advisor Howard Ruff. It speaks for itself; if you can market yourself, you will always have potential buyers for whatever it is you have to offer.
This is what scares so many people, though: they think you have to know everything about marketing in order to be good at it.

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: I don’t know everything about marketing, not by a long-shot! I don’t have time to know everything, nor do I need to, nor do you!
However, there are some critical secrets to great marketing.

If you are a great marketer, chances are you will make great money. Great marketers always do very well financially. They may be lacking in some other arenas—that’s why you hire other people who are specialists in the other parts of the business that you have to have. But if you can market, you can make money, period.

At its most basic, marketing is presenting products or services to potential consumers to make them eager to buy from you. Here are the four most important words in that sentence:

Presenting: You’ve got to let people know what you have.

Potential: There’s a real possibility of a transaction happening.

Eager: Creating desire about your product or service.

Buy: If they don’t buy, all this is for naught.

Without marketing, nobody knows that you or your product exists. If they don’t know about it, they can’t buy it.  And if they don’t know why they might want it, they certainly won’t.
The key word here is potential. If they can’t or won’t buy it, you make no money.

Sometime it helps to go back to the basics, especially core basics. This has to be engrained in every cell in our bodies. Marketing equals money. This principle works for all businesses!
It’s not about the examples of types of businesses. It’s about the psychology of putting yourself in front of others effectively, and creativity in how you go about it.

Whatever business you claim to be in, or what career path you are on or want to be on, that’s secondary when it comes to your success.
The psychology at play here is that you are a marketer offering (fill in the blank). You are in the marketing business offering (fill in the blank).

See what’s happening here? Many people have a hard time choosing a profession, career, path or business project because they can’t figure out what they want to do (which is a whole other issue of knowing thyself, yes?), but the good thing about it is once you straighten that out, it doesn’t matter anyway! That’s not your primary millionaire success role.

As a now lifetime marketer, you can be successful at whatever you want! You are declaring to the universe your confidence and creativity, freeing you to uncover more of your potential! The sky is literally the limit in who you can become. You get to market what you want!
How great that you can live your mission and not ever worry about how you’re going to make money!

Make It Clearly Important



Important red grunge stamp 

To get what we want in life we have to know what it is, yes?

That’s the easy part—it only seems difficult sometimes if we feel guilty about wanting what we want or scared of what others might think. Once you get over stuff like that, knowing what you want isn’t that hard.

Among the many things we all want in life, more money tends to be in the Top 5. Money makes life a little easier, at least financially. You can do more things with more money. That leads to another connected want on most everyone’s list—greater happiness, which includes less stress about financial security, more personal time, more freedom, greater joy.

These are things that lots of people say they want, but most people aren’t financially secure and barely get by while working jobs. This job might be “more money” than they were making before, but is that the road to financial freedom or simply retirement, and how long will it take to get there playing the money game like we were taught?
And is that a joyful way to live?

That second key to getting what we want in life is the “Why”: why do you want what you say you want? Does it really mean something to you? Is that someone else’s imposed thoughts echoing in your head or your own, from your spirit?

I always wanted to be free. I love doing what I do, but the worst thing I could think of is being forced to do this. I wouldn’t love it anymore. People just don’t like to be forced to do things. You want to do it from choice.

That choice has to be backed by reasons that are honest, true and excite you to your core, like a kid who can’t stop jumping up and down and clapping in anticipation of pure joy.
In my experience working with thousands of people, more than 50% of the people that do this one simple action doubled, tripled or even quadrupled their income within a year:

Write down want you want. It must be clear and it must be absolutely important to you. Write at least five reasons why you want what you want, especially in terms of wanting more money. Put that sheet of paper on a wall you can’t avoid.

You want to see miracles in action? You’re not sure Spirit exists?  Think the Universe is trying to support you if you would just get out of the frickin’ way? Do this!

It’s unbelievable, but you have to do your part, and it starts with putting it right up there front and center in your consciousness.

Putting a Face on Frustration

shutterstock_144129190

When we get frustrated by our conditions, we inevitably end up becoming frustrated with ourselves. It can take us over and we tend to run with it. It can creep into every aspect of our lives, from how we relate to the people around us, to how it will impact our business.

If the frustration builds for too long, pretty soon we might forget altogether what the hell we were frustrated at in the first place, yes?

This happens in business all the time, especially when in the early stages of the business, cash flow can fluctuate maddeningly, which then leads to all other kinds of frustrations from payroll to profits.

There’s an energy attached to frustration that sucks the life out of your business, and if you’re not dealing with this as a business owner, it’s only going to go downhill from there.

Moving back away from whatever the problem is, step one toward a solution is simply being able to classify your frustrations. Is it with your team? Your results? A process that doesn’t seem to flow efficiently?
Some typical early-stage business frustrations include time (there never seems to be enough of it), feeling like you’re too bogged down with menial detail-work instead of bigger-picture tasks, or relying on people to get things done that don’t follow through. Just to name a few.

This is where the importance of systemizing your business processes plays a huge role. First you name your frustration, and then you develop the system to address it.
So if you’re having problems with freeing up your time yet ensuring that essential tasks still get done, then the real problem is the absence of a system that will hire the right people rather than you doing it all yourself. 

That way, not only is your time freed up, but the right people will also help micromanage the way processes continue to develop and flow.
The good news is that frustrations within your business are fairly easy to identify and deal with, though they may take time. Inner frustrations, on the other hand, not only take more time and energy to deal with, but may also be harder to identify in the first place. You could be mad at yourself because you’ve done something poorly for so long, and you get frustrated about not seeming able to turn the corner. 

Or worse, you externalize that frustration toward everybody else—the customers, the suppliers, the vendors, the client; everybody but yourself.

We know the power of blueprints, so we won’t address that here.
When it comes to outer frustrations that we can identify, though, the questions are much simpler. What’s my frustration? What’s the gap in the system? What system is missing altogether?

If your frustrations begin with ‘I’, it’s about you. It’s inner directed. If it’s about ‘them’ or ‘those people’ or ‘those lousy clients’ or ‘those suppliers’ or ‘that lousy machinery’ or ‘that way’ of doing something, it can then be addressed systematically and objectively.

Conversation Techniques That Generate Wealth And Respect

Average employees USE THE SECRETS to advance their career to become president or CEO.

Middle class Americans USE THE SECRETS to make millions, retire early, and live the life of their dreams.

Socially average people USE THE SECRETS to become the life of the party, with too many friends to count.

And now YOU can USE THE SECRETS to absolutely achieve everything you want in life with ZERO limit to your own success!
Dear Henk Matthee ,
These SECRETS contain the most powerful, life-changing skill you'll ever learn. Discovering these secrets not only improves one area of your life — it improves multiple areas of your life.
The areas in your life that count: Your career. Your wealth. Your relationships. Your happiness. Yourself.
I bet you'd like to know the secrets, wouldn't you? In fact, I'll reveal them shortly. But first, think back to a time when you've been totally engrossed in a conversation.
You're there talking, and you feel great rapport with this person, when suddenly you find yourself totally absorbed in the moment. Your breathing slows down, you feel a warmth inside, and the person has your complete attention.
It's an incredible connection. You feel as if this person really understands you, almost as if you are long, lost friends reconnecting after 20 years. You listen and hear every word. You say something and there's instant understanding. It's almost as if time is slowing down and you are feeling a type of friendship and respect that is beyond words.
Discover the Power of Social Intelligence
How much richer would your life be if you were to experience that kind of connection with nearly everyone you met? Better yet, let's look at a scenario in which one person doesn't have that kind of skill, but another one does:
Picture a guy named John at his job. His phone rings. It's the boss. "Be in my office in five minutes. I want to talk to you about something."
"That didn't sound good," John thinks. "I've been doing a good job. I wonder what this is about?"
As he walks into his boss's office, he sees his boss and a co-worker named Brian, a guy who has been with the company for about six months. John's familiar with him because up to now Brian has been reporting to him. They all acknowledge each other and sit down.
The boss says, "I've got some news, John. We've created a new position for Brian, and you will now be reporting to him."
What a slap in the face! John has more experience than Brian. He has a better education and a stronger skill set, from a technical point of view. He can't imagine how this could have happened.
Well let me tell you, things like that happen all the time in business. How do you think all those people who never went to college became millionaires? Experience? Education?
Neither. What it comes down to is social intelligence. When you have a high level of it, you can:
  • Get preferential treatment, whether you're traveling, working, socializing, or buying something.

  • Establish instant rapport with other people, even total strangers, and learn how to control their attitude, emotions, and actions.

  • Deepen your rapport with your family and friends, and experience profound emotional fulfillment.

  • Correct the behavior of a co-worker, friend, or family member without causing resentment.

  • Deal with difficult or angry people (all you have to do is listen, then ask one important question).

  • Get yourself noticed, stand out from the crowd, and gain the success and respect that will make you the envy of others.
Think about what you're missing out on in life if you lack social intelligence.
So how would you rate your social intelligence? Can you walk into a room full of strangers and strike up an engaging conversation with anyone in the room? If you notice someone of the opposite sex, can you start a conversation that causes that person to accept you and express interest? If you want to get a job or a raise, make a sale, or close a business deal, can you get what you want every time? If you want to get your children, spouse, or friends to do something, can you get them to do it willingly and cheerfully?
If you're 100 percent successful in all these areas, you can stop reading right now. Because if you are, you are probably a millionaire with a dream home who takes four months off each year just to travel or explore your various interests.
That's what Peter Thomson does. Starting in business in 1972, he built three successful companies, selling the last one (which was five years old) to a public company for $6.5 million. That enabled him to retire at the age of 42. Peter Thomson Shows You How to Follow in His Footsteps to Achieve Success
Since that time, Peter has concentrated on sharing his proven methods for business and personal success. And today he is regarded as one of the world's leading strategists on personal and business growth.
According to Peter, skill in communication is what allowed him to get where he is today. It's the most powerful, life-changing skill anyone can learn. That's why he teaches the secrets of the world's greatest communicators.
For example, several years ago, there was a young woman named Ruth who worked in Peter's organization. When Ruth joined them, she was extremely nervous and shy. She would even get embarrassed when she walked across a road and her heels clicked on the pavement.
Within a few years of learning the secrets of the world's greatest communicators, she'd grown to take a management role in Peter's organization, gotten married, and then left and moved to Canada. There she became the personal assistant for a real estate mogul - flying around the world in his jet helicopter, negotiating deals, and making a success out of her life.
In just a few short years she took herself from a shy young girl to a mature, powerful, and successful woman.
Your Communication Skills Determine What You Achieve in Life
You see, every communication is an attempt to persuade someone else to do or avoid doing something, either now or in the future. You either ask outright or you imply your message in various ways. How effective you are at both the overt and covert ways of communication determines how successful you will be in any area of life.
The hardest part of communication is learning to use language in the first place. But you already did that as a child. When it comes to refining your already remarkable gift for communication - that's just icing on the cake.
Of course, it's the icing that makes the difference. Just as champion sprinters are only a few hundredths of a second faster than the rest of the pack, so the great communicators are men and women who've mastered just a few techniques unknown to the rest of us.
This is the secret highly successful people have always known. From boardroom tycoons to those "life of the party" people, getting what you want is always about using words to get other people to open up to you - to want to help you.
And that's a lot easier than it may sound. Because the fact is, people are programmed to help you. . . as soon as you talk to them in the right way.
That's all explained in "The Subconscious Encoding Process," which is session three of Peter Thomson's audio program The Best-Kept Secrets of Great Communicators. This encoding process forms the basis of many of Peter Thomson's most powerful techniques - all of which seem so simple once they're explained.
A Snapshot of Your Life IF You Are Fortunate Enough to Listen to the Program
And the best news is that you can develop your own highly persuasive conversation power very quickly indeed.
For example:
  • Imagine you walk into a room full of strangers and you can instantly tell which people are waiting to talk to you and what you should say to them to put them at their ease and make a great first impression. (In fact, you'll know 16 things to say to start an effective conversation!)...

  • Imagine you're a salesperson facing a group of difficult, closed-up customers. But you're not worried because you know exactly how to find out what they're really thinking - and then how to get them on your side...

  • Imagine you've gone to ask your boss for a pay raise or promotion. By reading his body language, you know whether or not he's ready to say yes - and more important, you know how to feel out exactly how much you should ask for...

  • Imagine you're a parent of teenage children and you need them to clean their rooms or help with chores. Fortunately, you now know how to get them to do what you want without all the arguments - simply by the way you tap into their thought processes...

  • Imagine you're in an important meeting at work or with clients and you come away with a report for your boss to read. You know exactly how to persuade him to do that immediately, and make it look as if it was his decision...

  • Imagine you're negotiating the deal of your life but your customers just won't come to a decision. No problem, you're still in control because you have six proven ways to get them to agree to the deal before you even think of using your final nuclear option...

  • Imagine you're about to get a parking ticket, but since you know what to say to win the officer over, you don't get one. Instead, the officer escorts you to a preferred parking place! This happened to Peter Thomson recently, in fact.
Imagine, in short, that you could ACHIEVE EVERYTHING YOU WANTED in life, with NO LIMIT TO YOUR SUCCESS except your willingness to strike up a conversation. That's what The Best-Kept Secrets of Great Communicators offers you. Guaranteed!
What's more, this program is for everyone. Peter Thomson's students include high-powered businesspeople and their PAs, salespeople and self-employed people of all kinds, blue-collar workers, including police officers, and more.
And there are just as many people putting Peter Thomson's powerful conversation techniques to good use in social situations. Returning defective merchandise to a store...getting a refund or a better table in a restaurant...getting prompt attention from a mechanic...even getting through to government officials!
So, Are You Ready to Begin?
The first thing to understand is that a conversation gives you access to another person's subconscious mind. The way you phrase your questions — the way you dip into another person's memory files — can profoundly influence the way the other person feels about you and your request.
Meanwhile, once you're armed with the secrets of active listening and body-language monitoring that you will pick up from the program, you'll know what the person you're talking to is really thinking...often before he or she does! As you progress to the more advanced lessons, you'll discover how you can even change somebody's mind in the middle of his or her decision-making process so the outcome is what you want it to be!
If you're concerned about whether this is manipulative, know first of all that the information is neutral; what makes it manipulative or not is the person using it.
Second, the reason the program was created was to help you build rapport and create win-win outcomes. You'll be helping people to see the truth of each situation clearly, which in the long run works to their advantage as much as yours. That's why, when you use your conversation skills, you'll be creating lasting friendships and business relationships that are built on honesty and respect.
I want to show you some more of the proven, practical techniques you can use. In all, the program has more than 300 ideas, techniques, and methods. And Peter Thomson didn't just think them up one day; he has used each one extensively.
Over the years, Peter studied as many of the great communicators as he could - from political leaders to great salespeople to CEOs to the people he knew and worked with every day. He's read speeches and books, he's attended seminars, he's listened to tapes and CDs, and he's also gained insight from more than 30 years in business.
He was never interested in ideas for their own sake - he had to prove the ideas worked in multiple settings and in myriad situations. He found out what worked and what didn't work. He taught his staff, and together they honed and polished the ideas until they had isolated the best-kept secrets - the ones that really worked. And that passion is still with him today.
A Glimpse into the Power of This Program
There's not room in this email to tell you about all 300-plus ideas you'll find in The Best-Kept Secrets of Great Communicators. So how about I pick out 30 of the skills you're about to learn when you order - that works, doesn't it? That's less than one-tenth of all the ideas you can use to bring a new dimension of prosperity into your life.
  1. How to complain effectively. One magic add-on sentence lets you get waiters, cashiers, suppliers, and service representatives moving quickly to give you what you want.

  2. How to spot liars. You'll learn several foolproof ways to tell if someone's lying to you - including how to tell when someone is lying to you over the phone.

  3. How to remember names. The RR technique helps you recall someone's name even weeks after you've met him or her.

  4. How to predispose people toward saying yes to you. You can always get someone to say yes. And the more yes answers you get, the more favorably people will be disposed toward you.

  5. The perfect all-situation conversation opener. What to say to get strangers, officials, even your boss, to open up to you.

  6. Three commonly used introductions or replies you must never use. More than 90 percent of people make these mistakes. By avoiding them, you put yourself in the elite group of people who are given the most preferential treatment.

  7. Six ways to turn a weak excuse into a strong, respected response. Learn what to say when you're criticized - even when you're at fault - and come out looking good.

  8. How to offer incentives that get results. So many business people waste money and squander goodwill by setting up incentive programs that don't work. If you want people to respond to an incentive, there's something you can do that works every time — even if you're a parent dealing with a teenager!

  9. How to script important meetings in advance. A unique self-questioning technique shows you how to blueprint the outcomes you want in such a way that you have a head start every time you enter a negotiating situation.

  10. How to understand and use the Rosenthal Effect. For boosting performance and confidence, this is the favorite technique of the world's most successful business people and athletes. You might call it the lazy person's way to outstanding success!

  11. How to change a negative response into a positive one. How to see a no coming and turn it around...before the word is even spoken.

  12. How to break an embarrassing silence. Now you can instantly open people up without putting them on the spot.

  13. How to master the 55 percent of communication that never gets spoken. This is about body language, and it's worth looking at a little more closely:

    On session seven of The Best-Kept Secrets of Great Communicators, Peter Thomson gives you what might be the most practical guide to body language ever recorded. Research has shown that 55 percent of person-to-person communication is unspoken - that our bodies give out a constant stream of involuntary signals you can learn to recognize instantly. After learning these secrets, you'll be able to influence what people think of you, as you control the way they move their bodies! The handshake alone shows you how to identify the type of person you're dealing with as well as how to handle him or her in conversation.

  14. How to make yourself look like a winner in meetings — and move quickly up the pecking order. It's all in where you sit and the way you move around the meeting. People will naturally respond more favorably to you even if you don't say anything!

  15. The difference between open and closed questions. The way you ask questions and the type of questions you ask can have enormous impact. This is one of the keys to controlling the outcome of any verbal encounter.

  16. How to get people to help you jump to the front of the line. Scientific experiments have demonstrated that one word causes people to let you cut in front of them 94 percent of the time!

  17. The master salesperson's four most powerful sales techniques. Use them equally as effectively in business, social, and family situations. These are easy to understand and use.

  18. The GOLDEN RULE of all negotiations. This is incredible. Follow this rule and you will always get people to give you what you want.

  19. How to pay people compliments. Most people are either too shy to offer compliments, or do it in a way that causes embarrassment, and even resentment. Yet it's so easy to pay people compliments in a way they'll enjoy and remember. The program shows you how.

  20. How to make any conversation move forward like a train - one direction only - the direction you want it to go! You'll learn how to structure your words to give you complete control over any conversation.

  21. How to talk to the three different "home base vocabulary" types. When you speak to people using their vocabulary, you gain instant rapport with them.

  22. How to deal with "the awkward squad." Peter Thomson makes a point of winning over "challenging" people because once you've built rapport with them, these people can be your best allies and advocates. Find out how it's done and the words you should use.

  23. How to spot the REAL QUESTIONS that lurk behind objections. Warning: What people say and what they really think are often very different. After decades of experience in high-level negotiation, Peter Thomson will tell you how to tell the two apart.

  24. The five different types of objections and how to overcome them. When someone objects to something you say, it's always a request for more information. This secret will show you how to give the right information to a person.

  25. The best way to ask for a job, promotion, or raise. You'll hear specific conversations you can plan in advance, to massively boost your chances of getting what you want. (Plus, discover how to tell when your boss is bluffing.)

  26. The importance of using "and" instead of "but." This is actually a huge mistake most people make but never realize...oops...AND never realize. The program will tell you why it's a mistake in conversation.

  27. How to close the deal. Use these cut-to-the-chase professional closes in business or whenever you need to get a decision. Learn what people really mean when they "want to think it over." Plus, learn how to boost your confidence when it's time to close the sale.

  28. Why you should stop saying "yes" and start saying "if" when negotiating. This is a must whenever you want to influence anyone in any way.

  29. Why enough is the ultimate magic word. The program will show you how to use it to its full effect.

  30. How anticipation influences the results of conversations. Studies have shown that your anticipation of the results of an encounter actually has significant impact on those results.
That's 30 original and effective ideas...just a fraction of the powerful techniques you'll soon be using to your immediate advantage...making this one of the most exciting personal development programs you can ever own.
Audio: The Most Effective Way to Learn
And you couldn't have a better way to learn your new advanced conversation skills!
By definition, conversation skills are about talking - whether face-to-face or over the telephone (though you also find out a lot about watching people in the body language section). So what better way could there be to learn the skills of a great conversationalist than by having him talk to you, one-on-one?
The 6 CDs in this program convey more information than books ever can, because you can pick up on the tone being used - itself a vital element in communication skills. And you can listen to each CD as many times as you like, each time picking up something new.
You'll also benefit from all the emotional involvement of actually listening to a real personality, directly sharing his experience and knowledge in a highly focused, personal conversation. And whether you listen while you drive, walk, jog, travel to work, tend the garden - even lie on the beach - you can pick up valuable new information each time you listen.
As Peter Thomson says: "If I were going to start learning any communication skill today, knowing everything I know now, I'd go for an audio program every time. It gives you the information in the easiest, clearest, and friendliest form, with no ambiguity."
Another Tremendous Advantage of the Program
Do you ever suffer from stress? The Best-Kept Secrets of Great Communicators can reduce or eliminate the stress in your life. Stress is frequently caused by frustration - which is frequently the result of not being able to communicate effectively!
When you master Peter Thomson's simple techniques, you will know how to get a lot more of what you want in life, more easily. Naturally, you'll know how to deal with difficult people and difficult situations; how to question your bills effectively; how to smooth over and prevent family disagreements; how to handle ANY situation that comes your way.
When you master the techniques outlined in this program, you'll be far better prepared to avoid confrontation and uncertainty. This will translate into that much less stress you have to deal with on a daily basis.
My 3 Favorite Tips...
I want to make sure you receive an immediate boost to your conversation power, just from having read this email. So let me pick out just three of my favorite tips from the program.
  • NEVER, NEVER start a conversation in which you are trying to persuade the other person by saying the following:"I'm sorry to bother you, but..." or "I could be wrong, but..." or "Perhaps I'm being unfair, but..."
  • FORGET ALL THESE WORDS AND PHRASES, which are almost always unnecessary and only weaken your position: Surely, maybe, kind of, sort of, like.

  • NEVER answer "Fine" when someone asks you how you are. Almost everybody does it...but you're well advised to stop doing it. When you respond in this way, you are communicating something to your listeners that significantly detracts from your ability to influence them. The program explains how and why it works like that.
FREE Bonus CD: Lying Exposed
If you order now, you will also get a FREE bonus CD to teach you how to tell if someone is lying, entitled Lying Exposed. Everyone who lies gives off certain unconscious signals when lying. From noticing their physical movements and posture, to picking up on their voice tone and inflection, you will always be able to spot a liar once you have this bonus recording.
So even if you run into someone who is a master of conversation, if that person is trying to manipulate you, this bonus CD will clue you in to what's really going on. No one will ever be able to take advantage of you in any way ever again.
The fact that you're reading this email proves you've mastered language that you already know 99 percent of what you need to know to be a highly successful communicator and reap all the rewards that go to the conversation winners. Isn't it worth spending a moment of your time now to find out the secrets of the elite 1 percent which makes all the difference?
I'm waiting to send you The Best-Kept Secrets of Great Communicators, along with your FREE bonus CD, Lying Exposed. Just one of Peter Thomson's powerful communication secrets could change your life... and in this package you'll find more than 300 of them!

The Secret to Your Success in 2014

iStock_000025408068Small copy2
As 2014 has swiftly arrived, we are brought to that time of the season when most of us take to planning and plotting the next 12 months of our lives. If you’re already considering your to-do lists and new years resolutions, then you’re on the right track, but you’ll need to be careful in making your plans in order to be sure that you’re able to use them to your advantage!

Set Goals
The first rule of making progress in anything you do is setting goals, allowing yourself to always have a finish line in sight. This provides a boost in motivation during those moments when slogging forward seems impossible, giving you something tangible to work towards at every moment.

Whether you’re planning positive changes to your work or personal life, take note of the things that you want to achieve by the end of the year, and what you’ll need to do in order to get there. With these goals firmly in heart and mind, you’ll have just what you need to propel you in the right direction.
But wait…

Set Reasonable Goals
Goals are great, but what if those goals are only barely achievable? Like a high-risk gambler, you stand to gain the most when you meet sky-high expectations, but your chances of any success at all are well below par.

In order to limit your risk of perceived failure, be sure not to aim too high when setting your goals. Take the time to consider your history and your present circumstances, planning to hit milestones that are within reach instead of shooting for the stars and coming up short.
That’s not to say that you’ll never reach the stars, mind you – only that you’ll need to get to them in incremental steps.

Set Reasonable, Incremental Goals
Alright, you’ve got goals set that are useful, reachable, and will serve to take your endeavors to the next level throughout 2014. With the whole year plotted out ahead of you, it may seem that you’re ready to close the books on another successful year planned and get started with the heavy lifting.
 Not so fast.

You may feel particularly pumped up about achieving your goals now, but what about that inevitable day when inspiration is lacking and your goals seem further away than they did the day before? Whether it’s a day, a week, or a month away, that time will come, and you’ve got to narrow your plans even further if you want to get yourself on the right track without fear of hitting a serious bump.

Overarching goals are a necessary thing when you’re taking in the big picture, but life isn’t a big picture; on the contrary, life happens minute by minute, and that means that you’ll also need a more focused view. In order to achieve maximum momentum and build the kind of habits that lead to long-term success, be sure to set incremental goals that take you from point to point towards the place you visualize yourself being at the end of 2014.

No matter what your goals are and what aspect of your life they apply to, good planning and hard work will get you there – good luck!
