How to Increase Your Company’s Revenue or Gross Income – Part 13

Welcome to LeadEtics® Consults Actionable Business Advice Series.

Today we are going to address one of the most vital attributes of a Genius – Devotion to Goal. 

As we prepare to get to that period of the year when we make ‘Resolutions’ for the new year, we think it best to assist us in focusing on what we need to do.

But what is a resolution? What are we resolved to accomplish? Is this resolution derived from our life or basic purpose or is it some non-connected, unconnectable, disconnection of wishes that we think this is the thing to do or have? Are we making resolutions because others are or asked us to?

The most vital aspect of life, other than being alive itself, is having a life or basic purpose – you know, the “why are you here?” question. A great many of us have never touched this subject or question consciously. Even though we drive and are driven in life toward a broad goal or purpose by something we cannot clearly identify, we seem to be ferrying along in the stream of our life purpose; some unsteadily as a driver without cause, course, or destination; some with steady hands on the wheel.

For those of us who have a clear idea of our life or basic purpose, we need to be reminded to keep the course.

The basis of all our activities should be our life or basic purpose. It is from this that our personal, familial, business, economic, social, financial, and other goals should emanate. These should be lesser goals derived from and assisting the realization of our life or basic purpose.

To accomplish a ‘resolution’, we have to do the following:

1. Know our life or basic purpose;

2. Define which (could be more than one) of our personal, familial, business, economic, social, and financial goals we need to augment or more focus on for the year;

3. Define what exactly you want 

a. to be, 
b. not be, 
c. to do, 
d. not do, 
e. to have,
f. not have: 

4. Define what you want exactly:

a. in clear, unambiguous words, 
b. in specific, detailed terms, 
c. within a specified timespan, 
d. in positive terms, saying exactly what you want, 
e. in the present time or now (not tomorrow etc.).

5. Then:

a. Go after your ‘resolution/s’ as defined from the steps above,
b. Schedule your activities to ensure you apply yourself and time to the accomplishment of your resolution,
c. Have a specific action step to take each day, leading to the accomplishment of your goal.

6. Resolve BIG or make BIG GOAL RESOLUTION! 

It takes a whole lot to accomplish any worthwhile objective in the physical universe, therefore, setting big goals is vital to the realization of any worthwhile accomplishment.
