Don't You Deserve More?

Set your sights higher.

Nothing is beyond reach, if you build a tall enough ladder.

Today's TQ Challenge: Set Highly Rewarding Goals.

Choose to be MOTIVATED! Would you be willing to increase your current goal by 20%?
Choose to be INSPIRED! What would you do with the extra money if you doubled your income this year?
Choose to be ADVENTUROUS! What would you do with the extra money this year if your income were 10 times greater than last year?

If you're not inspired -- every single day -- you need new goals. The higher the goal, the more it will excite and motivate you. Plan big. Why set mediocre, minimally acceptable goals when you could set ones that will change your life? Or the world?! Life's greatest satisfaction comes from attaining goals that you once believed were beyond reach. If most of your goals are forgotten before they're achieved, you clearly need to create more exciting, more stimulating, more intoxicating, more adventurous, more ambitious and more heart-felt goals.

"Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life." ~ Les Brown

Think about it. How well and how often do you actually DO Set Goals Factor 4D?

"I create goals high enough to ignite my spirit and inspire me to take action."

A high commitment (4D rated 8 or better) suggests you feel inspired to work toward your goals every day. You are committed to what you do and your motivation and enthusiasm are an inspiration to others. With your eyes focused on a big dream, little problems or obstacles never stop you from achieving your objectives. You push through the bottlenecks that slow you down -- and persistently build bridges over any chasms that stand between you and your destination. Your passion is contagious, and it's easy to attract an army of people to help you achieve your dreams.

On the other hand...

A lack of commitment suggests you are someone who is pursuing mundane goals. You may be intelligent and highly trained. You may have a wonderful personality. But until you have inspiring dreams, you're never going to have the desire to fully ulitize your skills, talent and education. The mundane is just not worth the effort. Instead, you will continue to engage in uninspired performances and struggle to stay motivated. It's difficult to be highly motivated when there's little reward for achieving your goals -- and little cost of failing.

What happens when you CHOOSE to do Factor 4D a bit more frequently?

You are inspired, challenged and committed to achieving highly desirable goals. You accumulate performance positives like "Motivated, Inspired and Bold" -- immediately moving you towards the results you expect.

What happens when you FAIL to consistently do Factor 4D?

You lack both the reason and the desire to achieve your best. Negatives like "Unmotivated, Indifferent and Bored" start to take their toll on your performance -- quickly moving you away from the success you want.

Now Ask Yourself This...
Is Factor 4D Causing You Problems?

If you believe this factor is a key performance obstacle -- and that it's preventing you from realizing your personal dreams and goals -- then you need to improve it.
