Financial Success 8.

 


Dear reader,

Do you know why you are working as hard as you are? What that driving reason is behind everything you do?

We call that reason your personal mission.

A personal mission is something big and exciting that gives higher meaning and purpose to your life. You may have a noble cause for doing what you do or you may have a completely selfish reason, but being able to identify your "why" is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.

If you look back at all the most influential people through history and study their actions, you should be able to easily identify their personal missions.

For example, Oprah Winfrey’s mission is: “to be a teacher and to be known for inspiring her students to be more than they thought they could be.” This statement has led her to become a media mogul who has helped millions of people through her philanthropic efforts as well as educate the world by producing her own television network.

Mother Teresa’s mission was simple: “to comfort the dying.” This led her to a life of helping people in any way she could through the lens of Catholicism.

So, do you know yours?

Everyone comes into this world with a special mission to make an extraordinary difference. The moment you start thinking about your mission is your life's great turning point.

Your mission often emerges from within yourself. It’s something that starts to call to you, almost like distant music. To figure out what is calling to you, ask yourself these questions:

What do I really want to do with my life?

What moves me emotionally?


What do I feel passionate about?



As you answer these questions and start to define your mission, you have to imagine you have no limitations — you have all the money, talents, skills, and people you need. People like to say, “I’d like to do this, but I can’t because…” When you think through these questions, imagine you have a magic wand that gets rid of any of those limitations.

Lastly, you need to be very clear what difference your mission is going to make. It doesn’t have to be big, but it has to be accomplishable. Here are 3 steps to writing your mission statement:

"My mission is to [what you intend to do and for whom you intend to do it]."
"I achieve my mission by [the activities you will engage in]."
"I will know that I have achieved my mission when [the measures you will use to determine if you have achieved your mission]."
As an example, here's MY mission statement:

My mission is to help people achieve their goals faster than they would in the absence of my help, which I will achieve by teaching essential skills that enable individuals to vastly exceed their previous levels of accomplishment and I will measure success by helping more than 1,000,000 people every year live the life they’ve always wanted.

That’s all from me this week, and I’d like to leave you with this quote:

Your inner voice will ultimately guide you to say and do the right things at the right time.

Now take Action,  write your MISSION Now.

 THANKS  to Brian Tracy

THE TRUE YOU 4.

Living a proactive life will transform your life for the better. You will feel more confident, in control of your life and will have a happier and more fulfilling life. How to achieve this goal?  Take responsibility for your own actions. Accept the idea that it's OK to make mistakes. We are humans, mistakes are part of life and are a great opportunity for learning.         Put your needs first.It’s not about being selfish: you have to focus on your needs and be happy so that you can be there for others. It is to be noted that when you are sad or unhappy you can't be fully available to others. On the other hand when you are full of joy and rejoice, you can help other people in a true manner. It’s not the other way around. It is your life, you have to make it great. Nobody else will do it for you.        Ask yourself: what do you really want in life? What are your dreams? What would your perfect life look like? To be happy you...

MONEY: WHAT I WISH I KNEW 15 YEARS AGO I've wanted to do this for a while. Following the recent economic upheavals in our nation, many have desperately searched for ways to hammer. Some have been unfortunate victims of get-rich-quick schemes. I wish someone had told me fifteen years ago what I'm going to tell you now about money: 1. Money is seasonal. It comes and goes. This is not my first recession. I've worked for over fifteen years, so I've seen at least two major "recessions" in Nigeria; times when my clients tightened their belts, prices of basic goods & food skyrocketed and my standard of living plummeted. But the interesting thing is this - before the times of lack came, there was a period when money just seemed to flow. New jobs came, new ideas came and with them, a steady stream of income. It is what I did in those times of plenty (whether I invested or not) that determined how much I suffered during the bleak times. Pay attention to yo...
