How To Make Decisions That Lead To Success

When it’s still 30C (86F) at night, the last thing I want to do is drag my comfy butt off the couch and go for a run.

But I have a goal to get from 5k runs (2014) to a 10k run (2015).

I don’t feel like running… but I run.

When I’ve spent a week sending marketing emails, and nobody seems to be replying, I don’t want to send anymore.

But I have a goal about how much I want to earn this year.

I don’t feel like marketing… but I market.

When I look at that beautiful bottle of Dr Pepper sitting right next to that healthy bottle of water, which do you suppose I’d rather drink?

But I have a goal about my target weight and fitness level.

I don’t feel like drinking water… but I drink water.

When the sun is shining through my bedroom window and I’m still comfy and sleepy, I kinda just want to hang out a little longer.

But I have goals about how much I’m going to grow my business this year.

I don’t feel like getting out of bed… but I get out of bed.

When I read about the latest widget, or better yet, do a voice over that promotes the latest widget, often, I want to rush out and buy the widget.

But I have a goal about my investment savings.

I don’t feel like saving instead of spending… but I save.
