Motivational speaker and author Anthony Robbins says that most people overestimate what they can get done in ten years. Be patient – even superman spent most of his time as Clark Kent.
Give yourself measurable goals. More important, measure your progress toward completing them, for example, if your goal is to make 100 networking calls in a week, each day summarize your progress so that you don’t find yourself with 89 calls to make on Friday afternoon, just as the people you want to reach are getting ready to go to the country for the weekend.
Brain Tracy is a highly successful author and speaker specializing in development of the human potential and personal effectiveness. His story illustrates the up-font time commitment sacrifice and patience required to achieve excellence. As he told sharing ideas magazine:
In my first three years, I had liquidate all of my savings, sell my house, borrow from my friends and relatives, and move into rented premises with my young family in order to continue giving seminars. Gradually, like a plane in a nosedive, I managed to pull up, level off, and begin to climb…. I was in my seventh year of full-time speaking before I began to really be successful.
