We’ve touched upon sacrifice, effort, desire and
commitment in this series and the feedback has
been great.

There are 3 words left but two of them are so closely
related that I’ve decided to put them both in Part
5 of this series.

For this series the two words are:

Will and Determination.

The definition of Will is to wish or have a desire

The definition of Determination is a fixed purpose

When trying to accomplish any goal or achieve any level
of success you’re bound to run into some valleys. You will
hit road blocks, speed bumps, along the way.

It’s your will, that burning fire inside of you that helps you push
through the tough times to get to the other side. It’s your determination
to not accept anything less then what your fixed purpose is to achieve
success.

These two words go hand and hand when it comes to achieving success.
It takes get determination, sacrifice, will, commitment, desire to get from Point
A to Point B in this journey call life.

I pray that this series has served you as it’s served me bringing it to you.
Next installment will be our last and I promise to make it worth while

And not to mention I’ve been having so much fun posting on Facebook because the messages are
short and to the point and the feedback has been tremendous (if you’re reading this and are one of my facebook fans, I love you, real talk

Goals = ________

But today what I want to talk about is the whole idea of goals! A lot of times we are told to go ahead and write down what our goals are and I’ve been one of those people that write goals on a regular. It’s not until recently that I realized that writing goals was cool, but something was still missing.

You see I have the following goals I wanted to accomplish:

• Buying my parents a house
• Getting a BMW M5
• Getting a sweet pad down in Florida (fort lauderdale rise up
• Being Married (taking application

What I began to realize is that these goals were cool but it was not enough.

I did it all …

1. Affirmations…
2. Vision Board…
3. Wallpapers for motivation…

It’s not until I went to San Diego a few weeks ago and heard famous Millionaire Jordan Belfort that I realized what the missing link was. He talked about how people support those with visions not goals.

When he said that I automatically said, “damn!”. I’ve been doing this wrong this whole time. But even then I still didn’t get it 100% fully.

Then my favorite football player Ray Lewis got a street named after him in Baltimore and he talked about having a vision and creating a name for yourself, creating a legacy that people will remember you by.

This takes me back to a conversation I had with my buddy Rob    Williams that literally brought me to tears and actually left me gasping for air.

You see when you have a vision where you’re trying to leave a legacy so that when someone mentions your name and INSTANTLY certain thoughts come to mind- This is where a TRUE impact is made. Having the goals I had above, they all great but what will people say about me when I’m gone.

That Geo drove a nice car… That’s not why I work over 60 hours a week for. Nah… I work because I want people to say Geo lived life the right way.

Geo loved people and shared that love with every single person he could touch. Geo made me feel like I could do anything as long as I put my mind to do it. Geo believed in me during times where I didn’t believe in myself.

THATS WHY I GO SO HARD.

That’s why I am online at 3:30 am writing on someone’s facebook wall or looking up quotes to write for the next morning. If I can be remembered for anything, please let it be because I help someone live a better life. That’s my vision and if I can fulfill it, my goals in life will follow suit.

It’s simple really , I want to be successful more than anything else.
I want to provide my family all that their heart desires. My dream is
to reward my wonderful parents for all the sacrifices they made for me.

So when you think about things from that perspective, then the words
“I can’t” never leave my mouth. Follow me and join me in this mission to
believe that all things are possible. With determination, a plan, hard work,
dedication, you can make it.

Here’s one of my favorite clips from Pursuit of Happiness that I’d like to share
with you.

Feel free to share this with whomever you feel can use it.

It’s now 6 am, time to go to sleep or should I say nap time… See you in a bit

Greatness is defined as being exceptionally outstanding. Sure there are tons
of meanings for what greatness is all about but the reality is when people
look back at you and see the legacy you’ve left on others and walk away say
wow that person did a great job… that’s greatness!

Too often in life we go ahead and strive for just being average. The problem
with that though is no one remembers average just like no one remembers
who loses the super bowl.

Below I list 3 steps to Greatness because I want you to experience what greatness
is. Even little glimpse of greatness in life is truly a blessing and I’ve been able
to experience it first hand from professional athletes to top notch marketers to
great human beings.

1. Knowledge:

Those who are great have a wealth of knowledge. Now one might think this means
going to school and being a doctor or getting bachelors and masters degrees. And my answer would be not at all. Knowledge can be learned in so many ways outside
the classroom. Studying people above you, reading about their experiences, asking questions, these are all ways you can gain knowledge.

It’s true what they say, knowledge is power. So go get some =)

2. Will:

Those who are great have tremendous will. When things go wrong they don’t go in a corner and hide. Instead they go out there and find a way to be success. Excuses get you no where fast so instead of drowning yourself in sorrows, pick yourself up and always remember that you only fail if you do not try.

3. Faith:

When you believe in something don’t you give it your all? Having faith that what you are doing will work is absolutely crucial to achieving greatness. While I have not reached the level of greatness myself just yet, I did realize a turning point in my life that turned my income from $ per hour to now what results to $$$ per hour.

How did I get it done? Simple. I believed that it would happen and pretty much expected it. In John 15:7 it says “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given to you”. It does not say it MIGHT be given to you. It says it WILL.

So you must have faith and believe that your wishes will come or else your chances of being great will just be shot.

I hope you enjoy this blog post- again please leave your comments below. I enjoy reading them and love writing for you.
