Most of us start off the New Year with the best of intentions. We all have a deep longing in our hearts for this year to be the best year yet. We even make resolutions.Sadly, however, most resolutions are forgotten by January 30.
Before we know it we are caught up in the same reactive cycle as we were before. This article shows you how to create a new paradigm for success.
1. Use the Power of Your Imagination
Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”. Have you imagined how your want your professional life to look in 12 months from today?
If you haven’t already, try this: close your eyes and create your Ideal Professional Life.
a. See your self doing work you love and see how many hours a week you are doing it.
b. Ask yourself what kind of people you want to be working with. Who are your ideal clients and colleagues?
c. What are your ideal physical surroundings for your work environment?
2. Become aware of your obstacles, challenges, self-limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging strategies.
Now that you’re clear on where you want to be professionally in 12 months from now, and you know exactly what you want your income to be, please yourself this question: What would I have to overcome to reach this goal. What would need to be dissolved? What blocks would you need to remove?
a. When you are able to identify the self-limiting beliefs, like, “I don’t have what it takes to succeed”, then practice reprogramming those beliefs to Empowered Beliefs like “I have all I need to succeed”.
b. You’ll be able to recognize your self – sabotaging strategies because they will show up as avoidance or procrastination. Usually with the help of a good coach or mentor you can learn to reverse those self-sabotaging strategies into ones that will serve you.
c. What is the tone of your self talk? If you judge yourself or berate yourself, then your Inner Critic (also known as the Gremlin) is in charge. Your Inner Critic thinks it’s trying to help you to be successful, but actually it’s destroying your confidence. I highly recommend learning how to tame your Gremlin if you’re committed to your own success.
3. Have a plan to reach your goals.
So far we’ve explored how you need clarity about your goals, next you need to clear away negative beliefs and anything that would get in the way. Now we need to explore where “the rubber meets the road.”
a. Ask yourself if you have a crystal clear action plan?
b. Do you have a time management system to implement your plan?
c. Do you have a plan for accountability? This is where coaching comes in handy.
In summary, to create your Ideal Income, you must know where you want to be, clear away the obstacles getting in your way and know how to get there.
