20. Goals are the road map in which one uses to reach a particular destination. Living a life without setting goals is like leaving home heading to an unknown or unfamiliar destination without having consulted Map quest or a map. – David G. Lewis

 

21. Keep your goals visible. Post them near your computer where you’ll see them every day. Visuals are "stickier" than thoughts and words and prompt quicker results. - Connie Dieken

 

22. Limit the number of goals you work on a one time. A lot of people don’t achieve their goals because they want everything at once. Tackling them one at a time makes it easier to accomplish. Once you accomplish the first one, move onto the second goal, then the third. This will build your momentum as you develop confidence, contacts, and systems that will make achieving further goals easier. – Cheryl Stock

 

23. Set aside time and plan for your best future. Many people put more effort into planning a party than planning their business or professional goals. Use the same enthusiasm and diligence to plan your personal and professional goals and your reward will be a life long party. – Kafi Matimiloju

 

24. Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved.

– Sid Ridgley

 

25. Many of us fail to write out our goals thinking we risk feel like "losers" because others will see if we are unable to fulfill our goals. But the reality is, if we realized how little others think about us, we’d stop worrying about it and just get on with living the lives we want. – Linda Edgecombe

 

26. Focus on the one thing you can control: yourself. Never stop learning and dreaming until they plant you. – Greg Maciolek

 

27. When someone pays you a compliment, respect their good judgment by saying, "thank you." – Mandi Stanley

 

28. If you don’t take time to smell the roses you will sooner be buried under them. – DJ Harrington

 

29. Stop taking advice from the dream killers! Never let anyone tell you what you cannot do, especially if they have never done it.

– Keith L. Brown

42. Don’t moan about work-life balance. Balance means making choices and implementing them. Only you know the trade-offs you’re willing to make. Clarify the outcomes you want and say "no" to things that don’t fit.

- Connie Dieken

 

43. Do what serves you.

– Robert Stack

 

44. You can’t live a maximum wage life with a minimum wage attitude!

– Keith L. Brown

 

45. Scenario planning is a great way to minimize risk. What is the best case scenario? Worst case? Most likely case?

- Sid Ridgley

 

46. Life’s number one goal is happiness.

– Linda Edgecombe

 

47. Life’s number two goal is to know that you can leave this world with as few regrets as possible. So make a list of all the things you want to get done and start working on them. Today! – Linda Edgecombe

 

48. Ask for help. No matter what you want to accomplish, you cannot do it all by yourself. A survey by Office Team, a leading staffing service, found that the number one mistake people make in networking is not asking for help. Many people underutilize their network of support. Keep in mind that asking for help means being willing to accept "no" while being open to the possibility of hearing "yes." – Donna Satchell

 

49. Telling the truth is always the less risky path.

– Sid Ridgley

 

50. Straight talk and more of it. Most visions and values are just hot air. Tie your goals to real actions so you’ll know when you’ve reached them.

Connie Dieken

 

51. Remember the art of the thank-you note, especially when others help you reach important goals. It’s thoughtful, quick, and easy with TBA:

Thank them for the gift or service

• State one tangible benefit you received

• Tell them what you appreciate about it and their thoughtfulness

– Mandi Stanley

 

52. The best fruit is never close to the ground. Get comfortable taking more risks. – DJ Harrington
