Say Kia Ora to success New Zealand

When instant coffee isn't FAST enough.
How to reach personal targets in this thing called, err...life!
Everything in life is getting faster. Close your eyes for too long and time slips away, forfeiting rare opportunities to close in on your goals. Do you want to risk that?
We’re all busy human beings. So busy, in fact, that we’re losing the ability to raise the bar and execute on the important things in our lives.
Forget what you’re doing for a second because if you’re looking for success (personally, financially, professionally, whatever!), I need your undivided attention. Think back about 4 months when we promised ourselves that 2010 was going to be our year to lose 10kgs, save more money or grab that promotion you’ve been chasing. Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it? A clear distinction can be made between those people that achieve their short-term goals and those that don’t. The ones that do generally go on to be hugely successful!
Don’t despair, I have invested so much time in researching human behaviour that I now know just how to overcome that barrier of goal resistance. It’s called Get Real FAST. It comprises 4 key steps, Focus, Action, Support & obsTacles, to help you achieve that promotion, lose 10kgs or save some pennies. Check it out…
Focus – There’s generally more than one thing we want to achieve. But what really sets the achievers apart is their ability to focus on just one thing at a time. Forget the things that just won’t happen and the goals that are someone else’s. Think about what’s truly important to you and hone inon that. Given your goal is achievable, believable and consistent, with a touch of focus you’ll be well on the road to goal accomplishment.
Action – There’s a stark contrast between someone who’s interested than to someone who’s committed. You need to be absolutely committed to your goal to make it work. Once you’ve made this switch, write down your goal, describe your goal in detail, define the key action steps needed to get you there, apply a time frame and shout it loud and proud from your personal podium! Sharing makes you accountable, and that’s one of the vital steps in goal kicking.
Support – Support is about maintaining momentum and exhausting all the resources that are available to help you progress towards your goal. Doing it solo doesn’t give you hero status; in fact, it makes you more vulnerable to failure. Gather support in the form of information (books, magazines, internet) and experience. People who have been there and done that have a wealth of support to give. Call them, email them and ask them what it was that worked well, and what didn’t. Having someone keep you accountable is a good way to keep the momentum going.
obsTacles – There’s nothing good about obstacles. Whether they take the form of a small speed bump or a big brick wall, they only lead to frustration and the possibility of failure. So the answer is, get rid of them! Research shows the biggest barrier is time (surprise, surprise!). Make time by combining activities, e.g. exercise & travelling to work or driving & conference calls. It’s essential you make time to action your goals and ensure they can’t be thieved by other people or commitments. Fancy trying to learn Spanish in a kitchen full of hungry kids!
Also, keep an eye out for the dream stealers. You know the ones who love to see you fail. Avoid them at all costs! Either that or use them as an agitator – someone that pushes your button and makes you more determined to achieve your goals. Then you can say, “I told you so!”
Being successful doesn’t happen overnight – but it can happen in 28 days with Get Real FAST.

The question is not HOW bad you want it.
The question is WHY do you want it, when the "WHY" is strong enough the "HOW" looks after itself. In other words if the motivation "WHY" is big enough you will find a way "HOW" to make it happen
Unfortunately that's not where the story ends. If we get the WHY eg "I want to be financialy free so that I can devote my life to caring for the homeless" doesn't mean the HOW "I need 5 million dollars in order to be financialy free" will show up.
We have to get off our backsides and MAKE it happen! Laying on the lounge knowing your "WHY" is nice. Hoping that the 5 million shows up while you are laying there is the definition of insanity!
