Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - January 5, 2021

 Before anything else, preparation is the key to success. - Alexander Graham Bell

Proper preparation prevents poor performance. - Charlie Batch

A winning effort begins with preparation. -  Joe Gibbs

 

What did the reader decide they wanted to accomplish in 2021?

 

One of my favorite quotes when it comes to dreaming big is from Walt Disney:

 

If you can dream it, you can do it.  Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.

 

Disney had a trying childhood with his father, went bankrupt and had to deal with animators that went on strike during World War II.  Once Mickey Mouse was created, the first film with the animated character became popular in the 1920s.  According to Biography.com, bankers rejected the mouse 300 times before one finally took a chance on Mickey.  That one yes made Mickey Mouse popular in households across the country.  Children still love the mouse almost 100 years later and families travel to Disneyland and Disneyworld to experience the joy and excitement he brings to children. 

 

Disney did not give up.  He was resilient and persevered and changed children’s passions forever by one simple dream. 

 

One dream can change the reader’s life.  Now that dreams are written, the next step is to create goals to move closer to accomplishing the reader’s dreams.  Over the years of this blog post, the author has written about creating goals based on the S.M.A.R.T. technique and the 6 F’s, which can be found by searching Terri’s Tuesday Tip of the Week (https://tuesdaytipoftheweek.blogspot.com/).  Also, the author read a great article “Beyond Resolutions: The Complete Guide to Achieving Your 2021 New Year Goals” by Michael Pietrzak on success.com that can be found in the resource section below. 

 

You hit home runs not by chance but by preparation. – Roger Maris

 

Preparation and planning will set the reader up for accomplishing dreams. 

 

ACTION:  Take time this week to develop quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily goals based on your dreams.  To hit the ball out of the park on accomplishing goals in 2021, we must prepare and not leave our dreams up to chance.
