There are three fool-proof, proven strategies to raise your productivity, dramatically increase your income and zap away stress. Here is one:

The Daily Audacious Goal Enforcer

This is a search and rescue technique that gets you to find and take small, consistent, simple, baby steps toward big, hairy, courageous goals. The strategy consists of two questions: One you ask yourself in the morning. The other you ask yourself at the end of the day.

Obviously if you keep moving a specific direction, it is simply a matter of time before you get there. But first you have to decide where you want to go or what that optimistic income goal is for you.  Use your imagination. Think about what is it going to take to get you really excited –to give you the lifestyle you want and deserve?

Simplify your goal into a monthly number instead of an annual figure.

This is important because it:

1. Reduces the tendency to procrastinate
2. Provides a motivating scorecard to “see” improvement
3. Forms your goal into a smaller chunk that your psyche can more easily digest

Now for the questions:

You know how your computer has a search and find capability? That is because computers are modeled after the human brain. If you need a specific piece of information or an idea that you have somewhere on your hard drive – but you don’t know where it is? You ask your computer to do a search and it will run through you’re your programs and files to come up with the information. If you can narrow the search because you remember the type of document or the approximate date your created it, that makes it even easier for you to find.
Your brain is obviously a lot more sophisticated than your PC – and it knows how to run all kinds processes that you are not consciously aware – things that you don’t consciously know how to do – such as running the electrical impulses in your nervous system, regulating your metabolism, equalizing your temperature.  Just like your PC goes to work to find you answers your brain will too — but only if you ask it. And the more specific the question is the easier it is to find what you are looking for.

You may not always come up with the answers right away. But if you ask yourself the right questions consistently, your brain will automatically find the answers.

• Question 1 -In the morning ask yourself “what are three things I can do today to get to my optimistic monthly income goal of $ ___ “  (fill in your big, hairy  number.)
• Questions 2- At the end of the day ask yourself: “What did I do to get to my optimistic monthly income goal of $ ___ “  (fill in your big, hairy  number.)

To Your Success,
