I know that you have made the choice to do things differently this year. You are no longer going to accept unsatisfying results, where you feel like you are putting in the long hours, but nothing ever seems to change. It is now time to unleash your magnificence and to awaken that achiever who stares back at you from the mirror each day, light the fire of inspiration and desire under your feet and pull the trigger on your potential. You are an important part of this amazing world and a contributive being, with so much to offer and no matter where you are right now; you can achieve anything if you unlock your inner most belief.
Your level of self-belief and the conversations you have with yourself has a tremendous impact on the outcomes you will enjoy in your life. You are the creator of your future, you write the script of your life with every thought you think, word you speak and action you take or fail to take. The more self-belief, self-worth and love you have for yourself, the more prosperity and success you will achieve. You can never truly believe in your-self or have a complete understanding of your real value, unless you conduct a real in-depth audit of your strengths, weaknesses, skills, abilities, opportunities and threats.
Before you begin crucial process of formulating a plan for creating the future that is aligned with your concept of success and your vision for the future, you must first have the courage and foresight to conduct an audit of your current assets and liabilities.
Action Idea: Select five to ten people that you trust and that are secure enough to offer you honest feedback and meaningful input. Ask them to offer you honest answers to the following questions
· What distinct advantages or strengths do you think I have?
· What weaknesses do you see me exhibit?
· Where do you think I have unique leverage or gearing?
· What skills do you think I am lacking?
· What knowledge do you think I need to acquire?
· What weaknesses do you believe I have and how can I reduce their effect on my future outcomes?
· Who can I get to help me in the areas where I have weaknesses?
· What potential hazards do you think lie ahead?
· What opportunities can you see that I am missing?
Collate all the answers you receive and try to see the pattern that will emerge from these interviews. Use this information and feedback as a starting point for uncovering your strengths, weaknesses and potential threats and opportunities. Armed with this information now answer the above questions yourself. As you go through this process you will gradually develop a crystal picture of your magnificence and understand challenges you may be facing . Work on improving your strengths, get people to assist you with your weaknesses, prepare for any opportunities and manage any threats you may be facing. You can never start on any journey toward success, unless you know what you have available to you right now and what skills, abilities or knowledge you wil need to acquire along the way.
This is always the starting point when you want to formulate a plan to perform a turnaround on your life. Before you can take the first step toward making positive changes, you must first assess where you stand. Explore all your current assets and liabilities. Explore any strengths and unforeseen or underdeveloped opportunities. Take a real hard look at any weaknesses and identify where the most damaging threats are coming from. This assessment is very effective and necessary to perform a successful turnaround on your life and works as an effective starting point to accelerate your life toward becoming a super achiever.
After conducting this self-audit you will have positioned yourself to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. History has shown that we are far more likely to succeed, when we use our innate strengths and unique talents to the maximum. The secret to apply this simple, yet very effective strategy is to do enough due diligence on your skill sets, to discover your significant areas of advantage. The time invested into discovering and improving your unique strengths and talents will be well worth the effort and will offer significant returns over time.
Knowing your weaknesses allows you to build a plan that will allow you to work around those limiting traits. You can do this either by improving, avoiding or getting people with those strengths to assist you in those specific areas. This knowledge will help you thrive and avoid very expensive and painful setbacks.
There are many opportunities surrounding us all the time. Unless you are constantly looking for them they may go unnoticed. Be vigilant and always be on the lookout for the advantages or opportunities that may be staring you in the face.
Invest time into discovering where the landmines or threats are lying hidden, before you enter the battlefield of becoming a super achiever. It is seldom the lack of opportunities that will slow or stop your progress toward becoming a super achiever. It is rather the constant barrage of unplanned and unforeseen challenges that may cross your path. Do not allow your lack of threat assessment to catch you off guard. Challenges are inevitable, so expect them, plan for them and never allow them to overwhelm you.
Stay committed to your personal growth and constantly look for ways to improve and expand. Have the courage to take daily inspired action and you will eventually break out of the rut and take your life to the next level of super achievement.
