What is the real scoop about achieving goals? The founder of Success Motivation Institute, an authore whose works I started studying in my teens, Paul Meyer, said: if you aren’t achieving what you want to achieve, it is probably because your goals are not clearly enough defined.
Maxwell Maltz would say that they aren’t transferred into sufficiently vivid, complete and frequently looked at mental pictures.

All that is valid but complete; only the first square on the achievement game board.

CLARITY is very powerful, CONFUSION weakens.

But another factor is what I call, in my Renegad Millionaire System, BEHAVIORAL CONGRUITY. In abbrieviated form, this refers to how your behavior matches up to your goals.

And another factor: RESOURCES. You can’t build a nest without twigs, grass and super glue! Once a successful entrepreneur gets CLARITY about a goal, he makes a point of gathering information, contacts, tools, everything he can get that will help him achieve it – although entrepreneurs are also very RESOURCEFUL in getting going with the resources they’ve got. Which brings us to the 4th Factor: ACTION.
