Today we are going to talk about 5 Tips on Making Successful Commitments That Produce Results. Most of us cringe when we hear the word “commitment” because we associate it with feelings of sacrifice. Our commitments fail because we get caught up in the struggle of trying to change where life seems to be taking us and where we want to go. Our every day habits consume our thoughts - leaving no room for thoughts of why we started the process in the first place. The diet becomes a struggle between exercise and chocolate cake; the budget becomes a struggle between spending and saving, so on and so on. The struggle ends up consuming us and we give up trying to change because it’s just too hard. What we thought would be efforts to lead us to a new life, end up being just a temporary change. We’ve tried before and failed again, and the conclusion comes down to a discouraged excuse - I just couldn’t do it, I didn’t have time, or it was too hard. The truth is making a successful commitment is nothing more than a making a choice to create a desired future outcome. You may say that people who stick to their commitments are an exception, and you are definitely not one of those people. Well, I’m here to tell you that commitments are not personality specific. Each of us has the capability to set successful commitments. So now you’re saying, if that’s the case, why do so many of us fail? Because most people don’t know how to make the decisions that create successful commitment. If you’ve tried and failed in past commitments, it doesn’t matter. The past is the past, and you are a different person today. Starting right now, you are now armed with the strength and the tools you need to successfully commit to creating your desired future outcome. To help keep you focused, subscribe to The Accountability Coach Blog at www.AccountabilityCoachBlog.com. You will find personal and professional development tele-seminars at www.AccountabilityCoach.com. Choose the ones that will be of the most value to you in achieving your goals so you can be even more successful – professionally and personally.

Today we are going to talk about 4 Steps to Increase the Power of Your Focus. Living your life without practicing The Power of Focus, is like trying to hit the bull’s eye of a target you can’t see. You can spend hours launching arrows, only to miss the target entirely. You become exhausted and frustrated when your repeated efforts don’t show the results you are trying to achieve. This is what it feels like to operate without The Power of Focus. To get to where you want to be, you must hold clear in your mind what you most want. Your subconscious mind is a powerful, goal-achieving machine, but it can’t lead you to your desired goal, if you don’t provide it with a specific target. If it doesn’t have a clear and specific target, it can’t get you there. As Stephen Covey would say, you must begin with the end in mind. The Power of Focus is the practice of focusing on the ‘right’ tasks at hand, while minimizing distractions that take your focus away from your goals. It will improve time management, professional and personal performance, task efficiency, overall life balance, and provide your mind the information it needs to get you to the bull’s eye. When you focus on the ‘right’ activities that lead to ‘big’ goal achievement, you will succeed. A client of mine set a goal she was afraid to set because she had never been successful at achieving it before. We brainstormed a list of what we thought were the ‘right’ activities she needed to do in order to achieve this particular goal. She got focused on these activities, did them, and exceeded her goal! The same thing can happen for you when you focus on the ‘right’ activities. You’ll learn the 4 steps to help you increase your focus so you can have a higher probability of achieving your goals.

Today we are going to talk about Your Beliefs – Are They Helping You or Hurting You? In addition, we will discuss 7 Success Beliefs That Will Help You Be Even More Successful. Wherever you are in your life, you are exactly where you are because of your beliefs. When you speak to yourself what do you say - words of encouragement or words of criticism? If you speak words of encouragement, you may have some level of confidence and be moderately successful at achieving your goals. However, if you speak words of self-criticism, you may find that you are unsure and not as effective at achieving your goals as you would like to be. You may not realize it, but your self-talk is creating your belief system. That belief system is either helping you achieve more or keeping you bound where you are. To get to where you want to go and be who you want to be, you must understand that your beliefs are the powerhouse of creation. Who you are, as well as who you will become, is created by your beliefs. When you have a high level of belief in yourself, it leaves no room for doubt, allowing you to develop a keen awareness that you are made of infinite potential and can achieve anything you believe you can. The reality is this, whatever you believe is what you have created and will create in your life. A healthy belief system gives you the confidence to achieve any goal you set for yourself, People who have a high level of self-belief - know anything is possible. People who don't have a high level of self-belief - hope some things will be possible. “If you believe you can, and believe it strongly enough, you’ll be amazed at what you can do.” –Nido Qubein To accomplish your goals, you must believe - and your belief comes from your conviction and desire. We will talk about how to strengthen your conviction and desire to a new level. Changing your circumstances and creating the life you really want starts with creating a high level of belief that allows you to feel that you can achieve anything you set your mind upon. With conviction and desire, you will be unstoppable because you will believe that anything is possible. As a result, you will create the life you have always dreamed about having. Success beliefs help you realize that you can do anything and any obstacles you face are only imaginary blocks created by your limiting beliefs. We will talk about 7 success beliefs that will help you be even more successful. There is creation power in your belief system; so use success-oriented beliefs to create a success driven life. "Whether you think you can or can't - either way, you are right." --HENRY FORD, Founder of Ford Motor Company
