Success by Numbers

(Strategies to Achieve Your Goals)

Success by Numbers is not some new exciting idea about achieving your goals. The truth of the matter is: there really isn’t an exciting new way to achieve your goals! These are tried and true principles that actually work, presented to you in an organized fashion, which will definitely put you on the road to success. Success by Numbers will give you a system of accountability to achieve your goals.

Success Strategy #1: Visualize Your Goals!

Success is not an accident. Take some time and figure out exactly what your goals are. Realize that every decision you make today--every action you take today—will have long-term consequences. Long-term planning does not deal with future decisions—results in the long-term are from the decisions you make today! Here are some topics for future goals:

• Financial • Family • Friends • Community • Career • Health • Spiritual

Once you visualize your goals…it’s time to write them down!

Success Strategy #2: Write Down Your Goals!

"Goals not written down are just wishes" (anonymous). Writing down your goals provides clarity. Writing down your goals gives you something tangible to work with. Think about it—you wouldn’t try to build a house without a blueprint or go to a listing presentation without preparation. Why should your life/career be any less important? Why would you expect your future to be exceptional without a plan? Writing down your goals enforces your commitment, requires a time commitment and forces you to think—are these goals realistic? Remember: Success is a conscious choice!

Success Strategy #3: Start Now!

What are you waiting for—you don’t need permission from anyone to get started. Implement NOW—Perfect LATER! Be persistent—you must move out of your comfort zone! The moment you begin working towards achieving your goals…You Become Successful!

Success Strategy #4: You Don’t Have to Go it Alone!

Don’t be afraid to share your goals…as a matter of fact it’s great to have someone to help you be accountable for achieving those goals.

Success Strategy #5: Review Your Goals-Be Ready to Adapt as Necessary!

As you work towards your goals—you will begin to change, especially as you become more successful. Allow your goals to reflect those changes in you and your personality. Keeping your goals current is as important as writing them down. Just think of it as preventive medicine—going in for an annual physical—you aren’t sick, but you want to prevent yourself from becoming sick—so you have a check up.

Success Strategy #6: Focus on the Possibilities…Not Limitations!

Declare war on your current boundaries. Give yourself permission to dream, to risk, to say yes instead of no! Allow your desires to guide you rather than your fears. Instead of arguing for your limitations—find ways to support your potential!

Success Strategy #7: Celebrate Your Efforts and Results!

In the book: Goals: Designing an Extraordinary Life by Gary Ryan Blair, Blair says: "Commitment, sacrifice and victory are the three stages of achievement.

Commitment is the foundation of personal integrity and conviction. Commitment challenges you to set a goal and then to support it with a promise. You must promise to achieve and never entertain the thoughts of making excuses or shunning responsibility. Commitment deserves applause!

Sacrifices are what you give up or temporarily put on hold in order to achieve success. If your sacrifices are healthy, they build character and inner strength. They allow you to enjoy greater success down the road. Sacrifice deserves applause!

Victory -the achievement of any goal-deserves recognition. Say hello to victory when it comes, or risk moving from one goal to the next without giving much thought to what you have learned, how you have grown, or why you chose your goal in the first place. Victory deserves applause!"
