(Somebody should write that down!! lol)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only when you know where you are going, can you map out a route to get you there!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wow!! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but that is powerful right there!<\/p>\n<p>Be clear and precise when deciding on you destination. \u00a0I mean think about it, would you buy an airplane ticket without knowing <span><b>exactly<\/b>\u00a0where you were going? \u00a0No that would be completely stupid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So why would we set out on a journey to start our own business without a clear destination in place? \u00a0Which will bring me to my second point\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>Write It Out!<\/h2>\n<p>On a piece of paper actually write it out. \u00a0Remember to be specific, because \u201cclarity is power!\u201d \u00a0 Be clear. \u00a0Be precise! \u00a0Know exactly where you want to go and write that down.<\/p>\n<p>Is that too hard? \u00a0NO<\/p>\n<p>In the book, \u201cThink and Grow Rich\u201d by Napoleon Hill, he talks about knowing and writing you Major Definite Purpose. \u00a0To write out exactly what you want, how you are going to get it, and (optional) when you will have it.<\/p>\n<p>And here is the key to making this work in your business. \u00a0<strong>Read it twice daily!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yup everyday. \u00a02 times a day.<\/p>\n<p>What will this do? \u00a0Well I was listening to one of my mentors, Paul, and he was talking about the change in himself when he begin to do this. \u00a0He went from doubting and questioning what he was doing to having the faith in himself to know where he was going and how he was getting there.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few weeks I have come to understand, even more than before, the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/blog\/category\/mindset\/\">personal development<\/a>. \u00a0And working on you and your mind is one of the most important and basic practices you can get into.<\/p>\n<p>You want to see a change in your business start with the man or woman in the mirror.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you wanna make the world a better place\u00a0take a look at yourself, and\u00a0then make a change \u2013 Michael Jackson, Man in the Mirror<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you enjoyed this post, please\u00a0<strong>\u201clike &amp; share\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>so others can benefit from it!<\/p>\n<p>Christopher P.
