"A dream is just a dream. A goal
is a dream with a plan and a deadline." - Harvey Mackay
Dear friend,
Happy Christmas and New Year – 2013!
As we are entering into a new year we
must set our goals in such a way that we will do the things in a different
manner to accomplish and achieve the impossible. When we do routine things
routinely we get routine results. In contrast, when we do things differently we
will achieve unique outcomes. Hence, from this year onwards let us change the
way we think, do and act to make the future better.
If you want to become a successful
professional in your area of interest you must invest 1,000 hours regularly. It
helps you establish and build your professional brand. Malcolm Gladwell, the
Author of Outliers rightly said, “People who thrive put in at least 1000 hours
of sustained, consistent training to reach their potential.” Hence, choose your
passionate area and then invest your precious time, energy and resources into
it for 1,000 hours and I am sure you will be an expert in your domain and an
authority in it. People look to you for
your guidance and advice and you grow as a leader.
Remember that if you invest for 10,000
hours in your passionate area (3 years approximately) consistently, you become
a regional celebrity. If you invest 20,000 hours (6 years approximately) you
become a national celebrity. If you invest for 30,000 hours (9 years
approximately) consistently you become an international celebrity.
Set SMART goals where SMART is the
acronym for specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound. Ensure
that you ink your goals and read daily twice after you get up from bed and
before you go to bed. Divide your goals into short-term and long-term goals and
align them without any contradiction.
Keep moving forward by taking feedback regularly. One day you will find
yourself on the top of the world where everyone looks to you for your guidance
and you enjoy great respect.
All the best!
Life is great!
