Joanne Victoria, real estate educatorHow To Get What You Really Want
by Joanne Victoria

As a small business owner, entrepreneur or independent professional, it's important to make plans. It's also important to have the time to let things happen. Only you can decide what is to happen in your life. Here is a method that may work for you. You have nothing to lose.

Start with that yellow pad; you can transfer to computer later on. Tear out eight pieces of paper and label each as follows: Finance, Health, Professional, Community Service, Personal/Fun, Spiritual, Relationships (All) and Education. If you have other titles that you prefer, use them. Don't be attached to what I have suggested; it's just that, a suggestion. It's a manageable breakdown of all life's topics.

First, ask yourself a few questions:

How will I do things differently than I've done them before?
What am I holding onto that I no longer need or want?
What are my personal values?
Are my business values the same?

Part of your plan, before setting your new goals, is to eliminate any toxic or draining person, activity, commitment or prior goal that is no longer working. You are not required to do anything that doesn't serve you. This will only create resentment and affect your future.

Prospective clients can always tell an unhappy, unfulfilled and dissatisfied person. You will not attract what you need. For about a month, try asking yourself, "Is this what I really want to do?" " I this what I most desire?" As the responses come, you will see what and who has been depleting your energy. Take care of yourself first. Be totally responsible for what happens in your life.

These topics can include business and personal goals. Let's First choose the topic "Finance". First determine what you need. When all your needs are met, your wants will be easier to tackle. You may need or want to be:

1. debt-free
2. have a child
3. create a larger profit
4. achieve a specific income
5. buy a car
6. purchase a home
7. take vacation or
8. investment your money
9. quit work
10. sell your business

You get the picture. This is a project that requires a little time. The energy is yours to direct where you want.

Another guide to goals; keep them SMART. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and True. If you want a car, make sure that goal says "Platinum, 2003, 850i BMW car," not, "I want a BMW." You may wind up with a motorcycle! Measurable; how will you know it when you get it? Attainable; is it at all possible? Goals should be at the outer edge, not out of reach. Realistic and true for you, not anyone else.

This is your life. A reminder: don't include other individuals in your goal. They have to make their own. Even when it pertains to your business, it's still your goal. Goals must be consistent with your values. Write your goals in present time; "I am wealthy," not, "I will be rich next year." Feel it and act it. Write down every task and idea that will help fulfill these goals. After you have created all your goals, take several 3 x 5 cards and write them down. Carry these cards with you and keep copies in your car, at the office, in your home.

Now it is time to give up control, go with the flow and enjoy your rewards! You deserve them.
