Write Your Goals.

Taken directly from "Morning Motivation" which I receive daily from Mike Murdock. His website is a great resource of wisdom for business people..

Take time to write down carefully what you want to accomplish with your life. Writing down your goals makes you more decisive. The 15 minutes you invest in making a Daily Schedule will be multiplied 100 fold before the end of the month. Visualization of a goal builds remarkable confidence. Planners can predict their success. The secret of Uncommon Achievers is linking tasks to their Calendar. “Then the LORD answered me and said, "Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run.” Habakkuk 2:2.

You have a Miracle in your Mouth

I really believe we have what we say. For this reason I am careful to watch the words out of my mouth. I believe I define and create my future with my words.

"The Secret of your Future is Hidden in your Daily Routine." Dr Mike Murdock.

Speaking out positive words over your life, each morning, is one way to ensure success. I am not the only one who believes this. Many successful people especially if they are international speakers, touch on this subject at some point. The way to do this practically is to put your vision, dream, goal/s down on paper and formulate them into a simple Affirmation that one could speak out daily, before starting the day. If you don't have the time or inclination for that, there are many Affirmations you could download off the internet, and adapt to suit your own belief system, values, and the scenario you wish to create. (Google "affirmations").

An example of one such affirmation:

I see right through appearances and illusions and know that abundance is all mine.

My abundant thoughts and actions lead in the perfect direction of my desires.
I AM thankful for the limitless, overflowing Source of my abundance.
I AM showered with blessings and my Divine Inheritance.
God provides me with all that I desire, whenever I desire it for as long as I desire it.
God provides me with more than enough substance and supply.
I AM easily, openly and freely accepting abundance, now!
I receive an excellent supply of abundance in my Life daily.
I AM always in the right place at the right time.
I live in the likeness and image of God's Divine Abundance.

Disappointments and Setbacks

In any new business project there are likely to be setbacks and disappointments. Disappointment is ALWAYS a divine instruction to initiate a change. Disappointment can be deadly if nothing changes. You need to isolate the disappointment, separate it from the other things that are happening in your life, and work out why the disappointment is there.

If the disappointment comes through an individual, confront the situation. You have 3 options:

1. They did not meet expectations.(Dialogue brings understanding)
2. There is something they're not telling you.
3. Confrontation in an effort to resolve the situation.

Disappointment is a seed for dramatic improvements in your life. Sometimes something you are holding onto   needs to die. It might be an idea. It may be a relationship. When WRONG people leave your life (or your business), good things start to happen.
