Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - January 19th

There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results. - Kenneth Blanchard

Wanting to win isn't enough. You have to go through a process to improve. That takes patience, perseverance, and intentionality. - John C. Maxwell

Last week, the author explained how she chose the word “intentional” for her 2021 word of the year. To accomplish dreams and goals, the reader must also be intentional in their life day after day after day.

In reading the author has done, she learned about the “The Rule of 5”. Jack Canfield and John Maxwell both talk about how they have accomplished so much in life with the “Rule of 5”. What is “The Rule of 5”? It simply states to do the same 5 things every day to grow, learn, develop and move the reader closer to their goals.

Think about this…what could the reader accomplish if 1,825 actions were taken toward accomplishing a goal/dream? That is what occurs if 5 actions are taken every day for one full year. Ron Scolastico told Jack Canfield it is the same as cutting down a tree. Going outside and taking 5 swings at a tree one time will not bring down a tree. However, if an ax hits a tree 5 times a day continuously, the tree will finally come down.

It is the same for the reader. The reader can accomplish their goals by doing 5 actions a day to move them closer to their dreams. The first thought that may have come to mind is “what actions”? According to John Maxwell, each day he reads, files, thinks, asks questions and writes. These are not complex actions, but simple actions that he does consistently to help him accomplish his dreams and purpose in life.

ACTION: Start thinking about the actions/activities/tasks that you need to do intentionally daily to help accomplish your goals and dreams.
