Creative Action - Seven Tips to Financial Success
Create an environment for maximum success by applying these
seven simple steps. You'll streamline your life and allow
creative sparks to fly.
My sister loves lists. She says they keep her on track and
trigger her memory. So, she asked me to make a list detailing
what it took for me to reach the level of success I have.
Actually what she really wanted is to learn what it takes to
stay committed and focused on a goal. Her goals seemed to blur
and then disappear after initially burning as bright as the sun
on a summer's day.
This is quite common. So don't fret.
But now forget that you were once a goal-setter-trasher. Go into
unfamiliar territory and cast off those shackles of
procrastination. Be fearless and eager to learn.
Let's start with the basics:
1. Turn off the TV. You won't change your life if you keep
watching the world go by. So get off your couch, or bed, toss
the remote, walk to your tube and press the OFF button. Better
yet, put it behind closed doors. It's addictive. Seeing it might
disturb your creativity. Now, I know you might feel deprived and
suffer from withdrawal, but, when your life changes you'll get
over it.
2. Go to a bookstore. If you don't have a good dictionary and
thesaurus, Walk to your local bookstore and purchase these two
indispensable items. While your browsing, check out the
Biography section to read books written by people you wish to
emulate. Equally as important, buy How To/Advice books on the
subject your interested in.
3. Read. Back home on the couch, sans remote, read, read and
read. Underline, highlight and take notes. Write down what you
are learning.
4. Grab a pen and notepad. Now that it's quiet, start listening
to your thoughts. Write. Write anything that comes to mind.
Write about the life you want. Describe it in absolute detail.
This should not be a hardship. Make it fun. Feel yourself living
the life you always wanted. If you can't handle it, go back and
start from the top.
5. Ask questions. Ask experts who have succeeded in what you
want to do all the questions you have. Commit this Rudyard
Kipling poem to memory: "Six honest serving men--they taught me
all I know--their names are What and Why and When and How and
Where and Who."
6. Start imagining a product you want to sell. Concentrate on
what interests you. Write down anything that comes to mind. I
think you're getting an idea about how important writing is in
this whole process.
7. Watch your thoughts and words. In order to maximize success,
remember: the words you choose and use create your life's news.
The more creative fuel you emit towards your goal, the faster
you'll reach it. Your financial success is directly correlated
to the creative energy you choose to use. Money is energy. Not
physical energy - creative energy. I get some of my best ideas
while in the shower. I bet you do to. Now take one of your ideas
seriously. Carve out the time to get one project up and running.
Nobody succeeds without creative action. Now you can manifest
the life you always wanted by applying the creativity that is
inherently yours.
That is the power of Creative Action.
