Speed Limit Signs Can Lead to Success!
I’m in an RV headed to Orlando, FL for the first TUT.com convention and Infinite Possibilities Volunteer Train the Trainer certification course. I’m excited and am looking forward to meeting a fellow adventurer, author of Infinite Possibilities and Leveraging The Universe, creator of Tut and Notes From the Universe…the one and only Mike Dooley.
If you would have told me a year ago that I would be making this trip I would have laughed and said, “Yeah right!” I have become so much clearer on my goals and direction that it seems like the mission is leading me to the resources, people, and places I need to accomplish my purpose which I identified many years ago simply as “Making a positive difference in society.”
One of the things I did to get on my life path was to use speed limit signs to remind me of my goals. I created a list of five BHAGs (big hairy audacious goals) and associated them with speed limit signs ending with the number five. For example:
55 = get to and maintain ideal weight
45 = write a bestseller
35 = own a successful business
25 = be financially independent
15 = travel the world
Then, I wrote down the things I need to do everyday that would move me closer to achieving those goals. I also got specific by writing down how much I want to weigh and by when, what business I want to run, what books I want to write, how much I want to make, where I want to travel, etc.
Now, every time I see those speed limit signs, I think of the respective goal and ask myself if I did anything today to help make that goal a reality. As you can imagine, I’m thinking about these goals a lot on my thousand mile journey!
I hope you give this little goal strategy a try. If you do, I would love to hear how it works out for you.
I’ll share another unique goal achieving strategy I use on my next post. In the meantime, please share what goal strategies you use. We can all learn from each other.
Live Empowered, Expect Success, Pass It On!
