How Success Follows IntentionAn epidemic infecting dreamers worldwide is nothing more than a dream buster.Living a happy life, enjoying amazing relationships, and making more money? It seems that everyone has intention.Some intentions are good. Some intentions are bad.

How to Focus and Achieve Your GoalsI was speaking with a young man who was doing something familiar. He was living in two realities:1) He had finished school; one reality was pursuing his dream career. 2) While he worked toward his dream, he earned a job certification to pay the bills.During our conversation, he said something that got my attention. “I’m hoping I can get a good job supporting my dream.”My ears perked up.

However, what you focus on is what you get.When the certainty of earning income becomes your focus, dreams disappear. What you focus on is what you get.Most folks don’t notice their dreams are gone for twenty years. What you focus on is what you get.Focus your mind and actions on turning your dreams into reality.

Unavoidable Stages of CompetenceWhen I was young, stupid, and wondering when I would understand life, I often turned to Zig Ziglar for a road map. Zig's Stages of Competence was what I needed:1) Stage One is where we begin. We are "Unconscious Incompetent." We don't know what we don't know.2) Stage Two is called "Conscious Incompetent." I spent a lot of time there. I used to say, "I have no idea what I'm doing - but at least I admit it."3) Stage Three is "Unconscious Competent." People who have no idea how good they are. 4) Stage Four is "Conscious Competent." That is your goal. To know what you are doing - and OWN it! Most people continue to another level that some call "Conscious Competence." The ability to recognize and develop Unconscious Competence in others.You will become who you were meant to be when you learn how to get there, do the work, and recognize your achievement.
