2007, Issue #94 ARE YOU REALLY COMMITTED TO YOUR CAREER GOALS? |
Welcome to Surpass Your Dreams. The goal of the newsletter and weekly tips is to help you recognize your potential and surpass your dreams.
Included are tips for either transitioning into a career you love, excelling in the career you have now, or loving what you do for a living everyday.
I. Are You Really Committed To Your Career Goals?
Part I
Are you working on your career goals or just going through the motions? Are you “in” one day and “out” the next? Are you waiting for your goals to inspire and motivate you, and then you will jump in completely?
Many of us want a guarantee before we fully commit to our goals. If only we knew it would work out, then we would not question our choice or the direction of our future. Guess what? Your career will not give you the guarantee you are seeking. What you will get is a strong feeling inside guiding you in the right direction. Then, you listen to your gut, follow what you hear, and work on your goals everyday. That’s when momentum takes over. That’s when you get inspired. That’s when you reach your goals.
The miracles in your career happen when you throw yourself fully into what you want to achieve. Will there be bad days and good ones? Yes. Will you question your future sometimes? Yes. There is a difference between being “in” versus planning for a time when you are ready to go “in.” What happens if you are never ready? How are you ever going to reach your goals then?
See Part II continued below…

WHAT TO SAY WHEN...
Ever wonder what to say in these specific situations?
What do I say on an interview so I get the job? What do I say to my boss so I get the raise I want? What do I say so people will return my phone calls and e-mail's? What do I say to a difficult co-worker so we get along?
I have created a series of telephone seminars so you can learn something new; specifically what to say at certain important moments in your career.
All the experts say to ask for what you want in your career, but what's missing most of the time are the actual words to make your career
goals real and your career wishes come true.

II. FOUR STEPS FOR COMMITTING TO YOUR GOALS
Part II
So, How Do You Fully Commit To Your Career Goals? Follow These Four Steps Below:
1. Decide To Commit to Your Goals
Decisions are the turning point for real change and transformation. If you are unhappy in your job, decide that you will do something about it. If you want a career change, decide that you will have one. If you want to move up in your present position, decide that this will happen. Decide that today is that start of something brand new. For many of my clients, deciding is the hard part. One the decision has been made, the rest if implementation.
2. Act On Your Goals
Get ready to reach your goals by arming yourself with the tools you need to be successful. Is your resume and cover letter ready to go? Do you have a list of schools to investigate so you can gain new skills if that’s what is necessary to get ahead? Do you have your list of contacts in front of you for networking purposes? Have you researched what your skills are worth in the marketplace so you could use this information to make more money? Make a list of action steps to move your career forward. Then, work on one action step every day.
3. Let Go Of What’s Holding You Back
Let go of your fears, disappointments, and the mistakes you have made. They are a part of your past, and not your future. Let these things go because they are keeping you from having an extraordinary career. A scary thought? You bet. Some people do not know who they would be without their past to define them. But with big leaps, come big rewards. What you are really releasing is the negative aspects of your past that are holding you back. These aspects are keeping you from being fully committed to your goals. Once you tell yourself that you will not fail, your chances of success increase substantially.
4. Celebrate
Committing to your goals is a big deal. Once you have committed, it is time to celebrate. You are free to go after what you want. You can create the future you have been thinking about and wishing for. You have more power than you think to change the direction of your career. Use that power to take your career to great heights. Then, congratulate yourself for doing so.
So what do you say, you only have one life to live so it might as well be a life you love!

THIS MONTH: TOP WAYS TO COACH ANYONE
How can you help your client reach their goals more effectively? Use these tips below to help you.
1. Help your clients discover what it is that they REALLY want, right now.
2. Translate their goals into a Single Daily Action, or similar, so that every day they are advancing.
3. Listen, evoke and question. Once the person feels totally heard – and has said what they really mean, THEN share what you see/feel.
4. Make requests. Ask them to do things that they would likely NOT have asked themselves to do.
5. Educate them. Show them how to do something, share technique, share wisdom, and share solutions.
6. Increase their awareness which will increase their expectations about themselves.?
7. Be a walking, talking, real-life model/example of what you're coaching others to do.
8. Offer unconditional support, 100% of the time, regardless. Be a safe space, even as you challenge them.
9. Give the client what they need, immediately, whether it's information, support, answers, or the right questions.
10. Enjoy them. When you like them and enjoy the relationship, clients do better.
