The Ladder...And The BIG Goal


I've come to realize a very important thing the more I learn about how I 'work'.

Each rung of the ladder to success is made up of FOCUS.

What do I mean by this?

Well...

If you look at some of the most successful people...both past and present...they ALL were focused on ONE overriding objective (ie the TOP of their respective ladder).

- Bill Gates - a pc in every house
- NASA in 1962 - Get man on the moon by the end of the decade
- Arnold Schwarzenegger - become Mr Universe...become a top actor...(and more)

Three completely different situations...but, whether you actually LIKE the people involved...they ALL either succeeded in achieving their goal (I reckon Bill Gates will get there eventually!).

In order to reach the top of the ladder...you need to take each step - one at a time.

And...every SINGLE step needs to contribute to your climb...otherwise you either don't move up at all...or just take a step downwards.

The way to make sure that you are CONSISTENTLY moving UP the ladder to YOUR success is to make sure that EVERY single step is FOCUSED on CONTRIBUTING to the achievment of the one that FOLLOWS!

In many cases...the NEXT step might actually take you AWAY from where you THINK that you want to go...but it is NECESSARY for you to take it because it is a step you MUST take if you want to get to the TOP.

It's not easy to visualize EVERY step on that ladder that you need to focus on...so the BEST thing to do is make a good guess - then just GO FOR IT!

The very fact that you are attempting the climb will mean that you are actually ON the ladder to YOUR own success...when so many other people just write off their chances - and don't make that first step!

So...pick a BIG goal...and just FOCUS on the FIRST thing that you can do that will somehow take you TOWARDS it!

You never know where that ladder will take you...but it will certainly take you higher than if you don't even bother.

So...what are YOU waiting for?
