If not now, when?

by chuckfasnacht, posted in Uncategorized

It’s easy to put off a major decision isn’t it? I know I’ve done that from time to time. Haven’t most of us?

This time of year I like to review the goals with which I started the year and reframe or rethink how I want my life to change in the coming year. Recently, I saw a post that reminded me of what I got WRONG in the past when setting a new business plan or personal goal. So this year, please join me in doing it better.

Step1: Pray about it first! I’m going to seek Gods help in setting goals first. In the past I would set a goal and then ask my higher power to bless my ideas. This year, get God in on the action early. Let’s have our higher power help us with wisdom and direction.

Step 2: Grab a copy of my book! Can adding process improvements and systems improve your control over outcomes? Whether your starting a new business or scaling an existing project or business you can always learn new ways to apply your talents. Available on Amazon or at my blog.

Step 3: Make a plan! Simple. Clear. Steps.

Have a blessed day and be a blessing!

Never Quit on Yourself

by chuckfasnacht, posted in lifelong learner

Never consider giving up on a worthwhile goal. The only way you will fail at achieving a goal is to quit. If you continue to hold your goal in mind and continue to work and evolve toward achievement of that goal, you will progress toward the ultimate achievement. A short-term failure or mistake is merely an educational lesson, and you will find that as you get more experienced and better at setting and achieving your goals, your educational lessons will become more and more expensive.

I remember the first time I lost $500 in an investment I was crushed! Then a couple years later, I learned a valuable lesson through making a $5,000 mistake. Years later, I again learned what NOT to do and lost $50,000 in one day! But each time I lost, I learned something that took me closer to more achievements and bigger numbers in income.

Making mistakes taught me how to identify red flags so I can hopefully prevent that mistake from happening again. Every time I recovered from the lesson learned, I more than made up for it on future efforts. I don’t fear making a mistake or losing because I compare it to the cost of a college education. I know the lessons I learn when I make a mistake will provide me strength and insight to achieve even greater successes. And creating and achieving more success will enable us to be a blessing to others!

Do well and be a blessing!
