On this episode of The Wednesday Call podcast, Andy Albright hosted the show in front more than 200 people at this week’s Instant Thunder event in the Alliance Convention Center at The Alliance headquarters in Burlington, N.C.
This episode was Part 2 of Andy discussing Brian Tracy’s 12 things you can do to make things happen.
To review, the first six were: Have Desire, Believe, Write It Down, Analyze Starting Point, Determine Why You Want To Excel In This Area, and Set Deadlines.
Steps 7-12 were Andy’s focus on this episode.
See The Obstacles
Can you see the problems coming before they are right in front of you? Why haven’t you hit your goal yet? What is holding you back or stopping you? What is the biggest problem you got?
Andy says he will bet you that 80 percent of your problems are within your control. It is normally you that is holding you back. Average people blame people and circumstances. Don’t be average!
Ask yourself this: What is it in me that is holding me back? If you can solve or answer this question, you will change your life.
See the obstacles by asking what they are.
Get the Know How – Get Better
You need knowledge and information. You need principles and values. Learn what you believe and stick to it. Learn it and get better at it.
Read books! Listen to great audios.
Determine the People You’ll Need – Who is Critical?
Everybody needs help to become successful. Who do you know that can help you? Who can help you stay focused and motivated?
Once you know that, you can start working on building those relationships NOW! Offer to help people first before you ask for help. Most people will return the favor. Be genuine and honest. Don’t just use people for your goals. Create meaningful relationships that help you raise the bar.
Make A Plan To Execute
If you don’t plan, how can you expect things to get done? Ben Franklin said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
Having a plan is essential to your success. We have limited time and resources, so we need to be very smart about how we spend our hours and days. Make a plan. Create a roadmap. Be prepared to make adjustments along the way. Be open to change. Plan for success!
Rich people know to ask, “what am I missing?” They know to fill in the blanks to make things happen.
Visualize
If you can’t see it then you can’t seize it! When you know what you want and you can see it then you are far more likely to reach your goals and dreams. IF you can change the internal thinking then the external will follow. There are two laws that apply here. The law of self-fulfilling prophecy and the law of attraction.
Whatever you think about most is what you will become. You will also attract people that think the same way that you do.
Never Give Up
Successful people are persistent. No matter what happens, if you don’t quit you will win. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you give up you won’t reach your full potential. Don’t let failures stop you. Use those failures as breakthroughs. Don’t ever give up on your goals and dreams!
