How to Influence yourself to perform
I find that the most important person to influence is myself. And I would say that is true for most people. There are some that are so disciplined and driven that it is second nature to just perform. Influencing themselves is not even needed.
Those of you (and I) that need that influence, here are a few tips to help you make the life you so richly deserve.
Feel free to add to this list as you comment.
- You have to write out your plan your goals. I am not a big fan of a long term say a 10 year plan, but let's say the next 6 months. What do you want to accomplish. What will get you off the hamster wheel...
- Make sure that plan drives you and motivates you. It has to be your passion. What I call, in your Wheel house...
- Take that plan and read it daily. Tape it to your mirror or read it the minute you get up and go to bed.
- Do a chuck down of each goal... What will you do this month, next month, the next month....
- Then take those items for each month and chunk those down even further to the day you will do them.
Take that list of daily items and put them on your calender. Spend the time, it will be so worth it.
Now you will have your plan in a format that shows your daily activities to meet your goal. You may have 10 goals and each day you make do a piece of each goal or 2 or 3.
Since this is something you are passionate about... you will stay up until dawn to get it done. If not, stay up anyhow and get it done.....

Cindy,
I too buck at the idea of long-term goal setting. You've outlined this process in a very do-able way. Now to sit down down and do it! :-)

Goals that are framed as desired outcomes are the easiest to follow through on in my experience,

I will be bopping over to your blog later today, so maybe you have that plan cited up there. If you do NOT, please, please, please DO email it to me what IS your plan because I want to know (so I can continue to circle around and get to see you a few times a year) and so I can be supportive of YOU doing so in in your manner and at YOUR pace (not at Reading Body Language Expert "Dr. Hogan"'s pace) (That's how Lisa refers to Kevin Hogan).
Cindy, what an excellent post. Indeed, that is part of what I DO and part of what my online dating coaching clients do with their dating and relationship strategy (that and MORE). Keeps us well focused on the relationships we want to build and what we are doing about them!
great communication of goals and self-motivation, lady. Of course, when I read the headline, I thought, "How to kick your own butt...."
All the best,
