Know your range to achieve it

“A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it” – Anon

There is no doubt that all of us need to aim within our range but it’s also true that we need to fulfil our true potential by improving constantly and aiming at the highest standards.

Ordinary people achieve extra ordinary things by having the right attitude and approach to personal goals.

It’s not enough just to set a goal. We need to have a plan that takes us to our destination.

Thomas Edison said that “Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration”.

What stops us achieving genius then if we are ready to work hard?

It takes time and William Jennings Bryan gave food for thought when saying “Destiny is no matter of chance – It is a matter of choice”.

You cannot achieve anything unless you have belief or faith.

That includes not allowing negative attitudes of others to limit us.

Knowledge leads to wisdom and so learning is a vital part of our journey.

Wise choices always produce best results.

That does not mean we will not make mistakes but when the lesson is not lost on us we become stronger.

If there is one quality that seems lacking in business at times its humility.

Whatever we achieve is just part of the longer journey.

Thinking too much of ourselves can only lead to a fall and small steps are as important as big steps.

Moving forward is the simple principle of everything we do.

Continuity in business is vital because it defines the leadership on show.

Being part of a crowd takes us to the same place.

Good leadership can be lonely but you need to follow an accurate map to find your way.

Set the standard for others by being innovative and creative, forming a vision that others fail to recognise.

Time is valuable so use it well.

Find a life balance that works.

Loving what you do and loving those you do it for is a great driving force to steady your aim and hit the bull’s eye.
