Part 10 - Make a Public Declaration
Stuart Ginbey | December 15, 2008
Here Sean Rasmussen is talking about what it takes to get across the line and really take some massive action. And one of the best ways to do that is to make it public knowledge. Kurek Ashley calls it a ‘Public Declaration’ and what a great way to be held accountable for your actions. Imagine if you told everyone that you have quit smoking or drinking and a week later they saw you in a bar with a pint glass in your hand and smoking a cigarette. Your friends would quite rightly give you a hard time about it, saying one thing and doing the opposite. You would be seen as a failure and feel pretty bad about it. So, naturally we would be more inclined to avoid this situation and stick to our promise. Our motivation would be higher to succeed because we don’t want to let ourselves down and also be seen as a failure. You will essentially be held to a higher standard. Something else to consider is how you go about it. Don’t just say to yourself ‘ I can’t do this’ or ‘I’ll never quit smoking’. Give yourself a chance and ask ‘how will you do it?’ Look for a solution. Find it, plan it and implement it.
Kurek Ashey also goes on to talk about the two types of people and the formula for success. The two types of people are the minority who are successful and the majority who are unsuccessful. And where you fall into either category basically comes down to your ability to follow this formula:
1. Set some Grand Dream Goals – Don’t limit yourself to what you think you can achieve.
2. Get educated. Find out how to achieve it and talk to people who have already done it.
3. Take immediate action
4. Test and Measure – Find out if you are on the right path, check your results.
5. Follow through – Persistence always pays off.
Generally speaking, the unsuccessful group will not do any of these steps. They will make excuses as to why it didn’t happen and procrastinate over what they need to do.
Till next time.
Have a most outstanding day.
