Bob Gaskell (GOLD Associate) talks about Success and how to achieve it

Bob Gaskell – Gold Associate

Well it’s 2009 and time to make all those New Year resolutions! Ask yourself “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t FAIL?” What would your vision look like for the next year? Beyond next year?

I guarantee a whole lot more than those tiny little goals of losing that last 10-20 or MORE pounds, that old familiar “I shall quit smoking”, or even more timely in this economic climate this year – get out of debt and save more!?

So here we are again, a new year, a chance to renew those vows you make each and every year to yourself – To do more, to have more, to BE more! Come on let’s shake it up and do it differently in 2009!

Why?

Many people start the New Year with great intentions, great optimism and great resolutions. Still, the stark reality is by January 24th each year, 80% of us have already broken their resolution. More seriously than that is the decision they adopt of defeat. They realize it just isn’t going to happen, so they give up trying because they believe nothing will change in their lives.

Where is their resiliency factor? We have all heard the story of Colonel Sanders, and the 1000’s of no’s that it took before he got his fried chicken business off the ground… where would we be if he gave up so early in the game? NO Kentucky Fried Chicken – My advice to you to achieve real success this January?

Become contrarian… disruptive even. Refuse to be one of those dismal statistics. You deserve better – a whole lot better!

The world is full of enough gloomy news. Don’t bring even more of it into your life, your thoughts, your dreams. “Some people dream about success, and others wake up and do something about it!”

Harvey Mackay…What ever works is my motto. So just say no to giving up on you and your dreams within 24 days of a new year. Decide to belong to a different tribe than that other 80% of defeatists.

Tiscali needs more leaders. Leaders need to strengthen their character. Toughen up. Be different. Think different. Live different. Work different.

We are in a time of incredible opportunity and change. Tell yourself, “I am going to be the change”. Let’s all shout that we will NOT be sitting on the sidelines whining about falling off the goals wagon 24 days into the New Year. So this year, I am going to start with my Talent and Finish with my Strength.

Care to join me? I am going to live as if failure wasn’t an option, only an opportunity to expand my business. I am going to start with the end in mind – for real this year.

No more simple goals… I want to really live full out and maximize the Tiscali opportunity! Now I really know the importance of the WHY factor! Why am I doing this? Why are you doing this? What is your Why?

As soon as you recognise your Why, the business takes on a whole new life…You can feel it, taste it, see it, hear it, live it. Then get down to it, so you can make the Tiscali dream a reality…You can do it, be it, then have it.

It’s up to you. Your success is in your hands. Your time to shine in 2009.
