I hope you’re having an AWESOME week!

Let me first say that Lou & I really enjoy getting all the feedback and suggestions from you. It’s fantastic stuff.

Onward.

Last night I was cleaning up my office, and going through some notes I had taken when I met with my business mentor in New York last week, and I came across a powerful quote.

This quote is actually very simple to understand, but literally blew my mind when I really thought about it.

“You must always strive to UPGRADE your conversation daily.”

When my mentor recited this idea, I was lost for a moment. What did he mean by “UPGRADE your conversation”?

Goal setting is an important technique used by athletes, successful business-people, lawyers, doctors, and great achievers in all fields. Goal setting is a very powerful technique that can yield strong returns in all areas of your life. Goal setting can help you grow in life. It can help you achieve more.

So what do you need to do first? You need to define a goal. You need to know exactly what you want, when you want it, and why you want it. What ever your dream is. That is your goal. If you don’t know exactly what your goal is, you will not commit to it. You will not have enough of a desire to achieve it. Successful business-people know exactly what they want to achieve in business and they make goals a top priority.

When you do write your goals down, you need to ask yourself one important question. Is this goal realistic? Is it attainable? Do you really believe that you can reach it? Faith is also an important ingredient that can make or break your goal. If you don’t believe that you can make your goal a reality, then you probably won’t. You need to have faith in yourself. You need to have faith in your goals. You need to have faith that you can reach any goal that you set.

Until Death Do You Part?
That certainly was a lie. Your spouse got the house, a younger you, and you got the children. Definitely not an even split there.

Six months later - Enter your friend…
Friend: You can’t just sit around by yourself forever.
You: But I’m not alone. I have the children.
Friend: The children, humph. They don’t keep you warm at night, do they?
You: It’s not like that anymore.
Friend: Of course it’s not. Really, it isn’t.
Friend: I know someone. This person is recently divorced too.

Freeze Frame. Get rid of friend. You can mail the coat after you finally get over the fact that the first choice for you is someone who failed Marriage 101 too. When you are ready to date, when you have moved that big band-aid off your heart, it won’t be so that a friend of a friend can dance on your scab. It will be because you’re ready to share your life with someone again. Read more »
