LMI’s Definition Of Personal Leadership Personal leadership is the self-confident ability to crystallize your thinking so that you are able to establish an exact direction for your life, to commit yourself to moving in that direction and then to take determined action to acquire, accomplish, or become whatever that goal demands. YES – YOU CAN! The real question is – WILL YOU? (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)
Even SMART Goals Need Smart Action Steps to Succeed
Goals are fundamental to turning a business dream into business success, and SMART goals are the standard in business planning. Most of my clients have heard of SMART goals, and I suspect you have too. But just as a refresher, let me remind you that SMART goals are: Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Tangible Even SMART goals can fail you unless they’re accompanied by smart action strategies, and that’s what I want to talk about today: Smart Action Steps to Achieving Goals. Put Your Business Goals on Your Calendar The easiest and one of the most effective action steps you can take is to put your goal on your calendar. In other words: Give yourself a deadline. When should this goal be attained? Until you move action steps and your goals onto your calendar, you have great ideas but no real means of achieving them. Make Time to Succeed Set aside the time to reach your goal. Too often, we ‘add’ goals to our business days, somehow hoping our days will expand to meet them. (Wishful thinking!) As long as goals have no time allotted to them, we have no plan to achieve them. How to Plan Your Steps and Checkpoints For most business goals – whether it’s sales, productivity, or other business-related goals – you’ll increase your chance of success exponentially if you have prioritized action steps and checkpoints to keep you on track. So, block out the time for the action steps you need to take to reach your goal. Creating successful action steps: Think through the steps you need to take to reach your goals; make them specific. Prioritize your action steps and set target dates. Identify checkpoints along the way to your ultimate goal. Move your action steps and checkpoints onto your calendar, allowing sufficient time for…

You Can Make Up Your Mind To Be Anything You’re special and unique among all the creatures on the planet earth. You’ve been endowed with the capacity and the power to create desirable pictures inside your mind and to find them automatically printed in the outer world of your environment. You’ll gradually grow into any condition you desire, provided you first make yourself in habitual mental attitude the person who corresponds to that condition. Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success. All your dreams can come true, if you have the courage to pursue them.

You Have Unlimited Potential No matter what the level of your ability is, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime. Don’t think about the things you can’t do. Think about the things you can do. There is no such thing as no chance. You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations to what you can do except the limitations of your own mind. Your range of available choices right now is limitless. Look at things as they can be. Never say never. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Leadership Is Action Not Position All successful people became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others. You can contribute in some way to others no matter how small your talent. You too, can become successful. No one achieves success without being of service. The essence of success is service. The successful don’t use others, other people use the successful, for above all success is of service. Everyone has to be someone to someone to be anyone. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Find The Good Side To Every Situation You cannot have the success without the failures. Any experience, even failure, can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things. What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined. In all of your adversities lies the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time. View your problems as opportunities. When it’s dark enough you can see the stars. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Riches Lie Within You, Not In Your Material Possessions Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. Your real riches in life are riches of the head and Heart. Satisfaction comes when you appreciate what you have. While success is getting what you want, true happiness is wanting what you get. It’s not how much you have, but how much you enjoy that truly matters. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

You Can Make Your Dreams A Reality You have the power and the opportunity to change your life. You can make anything you want of it. It’s not difficult, it just takes some effort. See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a personal plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have. Your imagination will show you how to turn your possibilities into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making those mental pictures come true. If you picture yourself vividly as winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success. Knowing your destination is all you need to get there. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.
