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

YOUR FUTURE ( TIME )

If you work a full-time job, you see your coworkers, clients, and customers more than you see your family every week. In the end, jobs and people come and go, so do NOT take your family for granted. It’s important to cherish the time you have with your loved ones as much as possible. They should be a priority in your life. But creating and maintaining strong relationships, family or otherwise, is not always easy, which is why I've created this week's blog post... Start here if you want better relationships: do-this-if-you-want-better-relationships Here’s something else I want you to think about when it comes to making the best use of the time that you have. There are 4 rules of time:     Time is perishable - It cannot be saved, only spent. So the only thing you can do with it is spend it differently. Allocate some of that time to your loved ones.     Time is indispensable - Everything you decide to do, even looking out the window or sleeping in a few e...

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...
