<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1076" style="margin-right: 5px; margin-left: 5px;" title="step2" src="http://www.donmacnaughton.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/step2.jpg" alt="step2" width="200" height="150" />In my last blog post where I talked about step 1 and deciding what you actually want to achieve, <strong>I introduced you to a visualization technique</strong>.</p>
<p>It’s <strong>a technique that will definitely help you get excited and passionate about the specific things you want to achieve</strong> in 2010.</p>
<p>Now that you’re excited about making all of that great stuff happen, your mind – whether you realize it or not – is already working overtime to help you achieve everything!</p>
<h1><span style="color: #b80000;">Your mind is LOOKING for opportunities!</span></h1>
<p>When you sit down and decide what you want to achieve – then feel the excitement of achieving those goals – it’s as though you’re asking your mind to make it happen.</p>
<p><strong>In your excitement, your mind gets to work on your behalf.</strong></p>
<p>And that’s when you start noticing <em>opportunities</em>.</p>
<p>Allow me to give you an example.  Let’s say for instance – we’ll revert back to the goal of achieving £200,000 worth of income – you want to make that much money in 2010.</p>
<p>Now you may not have any idea how you’re going to do that.  But once you actively visualize that goal – and feel the feelings of achieving it – you’ll start to notice opportunities.</p>
<p>You’ll get ideas in your mind geared towards helping you make that money.</p>
<p>And when you get an idea…</p>
<h1><span style="color: #b80000;">…You MUST act!</span></h1>
<p>You don’t want to just do nothing!  Remember, you have a very specific and very clear goal that you’re passionate about.  You want that £200,000 income in 2009, so go get it!</p>
<p>Your mind is already working hard to help you get it.  So when your mind gives you a great idea, chase it up!</p>
<p>Take action!</p>
<p><strong>Go over every idea with a fine tooth comb, and pursue the opportunities that come to you!</strong></p>
<p>It’s not enough to just write down what you want.  It’s not enough to go into great specifics about something you want…then do nothing about it.</p>
<p>If you do nothing – if you do not act – then you will not achieve your goal.</p>
<p>You <span style="text-decoration: underline;">must</span> take action to make it happen.  No exceptions!</p>
<p>So keep an eye out for the opportunities that will present themselves to you.  When you stay focused on your specific goals, it is inevitable that opportunities will come to you.</p>
<p>The people, the places, the circumstances…it will all come to you to help you in the achievement of your goals.</p>
<p><strong>So have fun with that!  Enjoy the journey!</strong></p>
<p>Because 2010 is going to be a GREAT year for you!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">P.S. I am starting group coaching programme</span></strong> for those that are wanting to make 2010 an amazing year. If you&#8217;re interested, please email info@zonedinperformance and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">put &#8220;<span style="color: #b80000;"><strong>group coaching</strong></span>&#8221; in the subject line and detail what is your “wow” goals for 2010</span>.</p>
