To achieve our financial and career goals and to truly live our dreams, we must have a plan to succeed and we must have a motivating message. Life doesn't always go according to plan and sometimes we veer off the intended course for one reason or another. Therefore, we need to have a motto, message or mission in mind that we can repeat out loud that will help us find our way through difficut times.
A former NAVY SEALS Trainer was once asked in front of a large audience what it was that they did inside their SEALS training that prepared this group of special forces officers to endure such dire circumstances in battle without losing their focus on the job at hand and the trainer responded "We teach them to NEVER QUIT". The audience wouldn't accept his answer. "Come on you must train them using unique psychological techniques or have some special program to train them to endure such things as torture and other near death circumstances" and the NAVY SEALS trainer responded quite firmly "We train them to NEVER QUIT".
The reason why the NAVY SEALS are so highly regarded in their field is because they NEVER QUIT. They have an extremely high success rate of accomplishing goals because of this act of self-discipline. Now let me ask you a question.... What if you decided not to quit on your plans, dreams and goals? Where would you go in the world today? I imagine you'd go as far as you wanted to go.
What's Your Motivating Message?
What is the message that you repeat to yourself when you're tempted to veer off the course of success? Each of us needs a motivating message that brings back our focus and motivation to stay the course to help us achieve our goals and dreams. Let me share a few examples with you....
"My long term commitment is greater than my immediate desire!"
"I won't quit"
"I can do this"
"Failure is not an option"
"I was created for this moment...I will stay the course!"
By saying a statement like this when you're tempted to give up and/or veer off from your plan, you'll be energized and motivated to accomplish the things you've always dreamed about and you'll live the life you were created to live!
Life in the mortgage industry is tough right now and it will be tougher for those who lack a plan and a motivating message. Now it's up to you to decide how you will handle the difficulties of the day. Will you quit? That's an option. But for those who stay the course, create a plan and memorize a motivating message; there will be riches and opportunity that awaits you.
