Nigel Wall
President at Ask Leadership
Paul J Meyer developed this almost 50 years ago in 1962. Where do you stand on these?
I. Crystallize Your Thinking
Determine what specific goal you want to achieve. Then dedicate yourself to its attainment with unswerving singleness of purpose, the trenchant zeal of a crusader.
II. Develop a Plan for Achieving Your Goal and a Deadline for its Attainment
Plan your progress carefully; hour-by hour, day-by-day, month-by-month. Organized activity and maintained enthusiasm are the wellsprings of your power.
III. Develop a Sincere Desire for the Things You Want in Life.
A burning desire is the greatest motivator of every human action. The desire for success implants “success consciousness” which, in turn, creates a vigorous and ever-increasing “habit of success.”
IV. Develop Supreme Confidence in Yourself and Your Own Abilities
Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses…on your powers, instead of your problems.
V. Develop a Dogged Determination to Follow Through on Your Plan, Regardless of Obstacles, Criticism or Circumstances or What Other People Say, Think, or Do.
Construct your Determination with Sustained Effort, Controlled Attention, and Concentrated Energy. OPPORTUNITIES never come to those who wait … they are captured by those who dare to ATTACK.
So, which is your next focus area?
