| Dear John, The things you hear and the lessons you learn in coffee shops are fascinating. I sat down next to a couple with my coffee, and before long, I couldn’t help but overhear their increasingly heated conversation. Here’s about the time I tuned in… …” you always say you’re going to do things, but you never do...” “...are you talking about the fence in the yard?” “...yes, I’m talking about the fence in the yard. You said you’d get it done before spring!” “...I will get around to it, ok. I just have a lot going on…” They continued to argue over their cappuccinos like that until I left. On the face of it, it seems like a bit of a petty argument about a fence, but there’s actually a huge takeaway to be had from it. If you always say you’re “going to do” something but never actually put a pin in exactly when and how you’re going to get there - nothing will ever get done. Notice how he used the excuse of not having enough time? This is where Ziglar's Performance Planner could have made a difference for him, his family and his future. With the goal-setting system in the Performance Planner, he would be able to get ahead with projects, his wife would be happy and he would have achieved something too. Without a goal-setting system, he doesn't have a plan or an end-point, so it feels overwhelming.
Have you ever felt this way? I know I have. When you recognize there’s a process and if you can turn it into a habit you can achieve so much more in your life than ever before.
Just something to think about, and if you’re looking for a tried and true system to help you achieve your goals… however big or small… our Ziglar Performance Planner is back in stock here. |
