1. Your Achievement Article
Actualize Your Primary
Goal by Mark Victor Hansen
The word 'actualize' means to make actual, to make real. And to see something actualized requires action. As much as we'd like our dreams to be realized through virtually no effort at all on our part, that's not the way it works. (And we wouldn't appreciate it as much if we did nothing to achieve our goals). To have everything we want in life we have to decide what it is that we really want, make a plan and take action.
To transform our goals from lofty dreams to true-blue reality means that we first have to decide on a primary goal. We can have as many things as we want, make our goal list as long as we desire, but to make our goals 'actual' we must concentrate on them one at a time.
Once we have our primary goal, the one we want more than anything else; then we have to create a plan. That plan may include researching our goal, looking for classes to take, visiting a foreign country or asking about an internship with a company or individual. Creating a goal-achieving plan is like planning a road trip. If you know your eventual destination, you just need to mark a route to get there. It may take a while to get where you want to go, or you could arrive there next week. It all depends on what your number one goal is.
The last step is to follow the plan you've created by taking action! If you have 40 steps in your plan, then decide that you're going to accomplish one or two steps a day until you have what you want. It sounds simple, I know. And it is simple. The hardest part of having what you want is figuring out what you want and deciding your going to do it. The rest is just taking action.
To overcome your fear of goal setting, just take action.

consequences come from little things. I am tempted to think there are no
little things." Bruce Barton
2. Your Achievement Quotes
REPUTATION
"What separates you from your competition? What standards are you setting? What makes people talk about you? What makes people look forward to doing business with you? What makes people tell others about your business?" -- Jeffrey Gitomer
"The Bible gives us a list of human stories on both sides of the ledger. One list of human stories is used as examples – do what these people did. Another list of human stories is used as warnings – don't do what these people did. So if your story ever gets in one of these books, make sure they use it as an example, not a warning." -- Jim Rohn
"You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do." -- Henry Ford
"The value of friendly is beyond measure -- it costs nothing, yet it's worth a fortune. And it's the most contagious disease known to man -- catch it." -- Jeffrey Gitomer
RESOLVE
"Resolve to be a master of change rather than a victim of change." -- Brian Tracy
"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing." -- Abraham Lincoln
"There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul." -- Ella Wheeler Wilcox
"Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world." -- Archimedes
RESULTS
"Most people seem to want tremendous improvement, instantly. But you'll probably find it's the little things you do that eventually add up to big results." -- Joel Weldon
"It's hard to detect good luck - it looks so much like something you've earned." -- Fred A. Clark
"We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service." -- Earl Nightingale
"Prefer a loss to a dishonest gain; the one brings pain at the moment, the other for all time." -- Chilon
"Facts do not cease to exist because they
are ignored." Aldous Huxley

Zig's Strategies for Success!
"You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win." - Zig Ziglar
What if you could be in a room with the great Zig Ziglar as he shares
on 5 key components to success in life and business (including building a
healthy self-esteem, developing & maintaining the right attitude, building
winning relationships and how to set and achieve goals)?
And not only would you get to review the ideas and strategies Zig shares, on
6 full DVDs over the future weeks, months and years with your family and staff (and for yourself), but you also could listen to the CD version in your car and when you go for a walk or jog.
And lastly you would be able to translate all this into a strategic working personal and professional life plan using Zig's Performance Planner.
------If you watch these 6 DVDs, I can assure you that you will soon after make an appointment with your family to go through this entire program together! Just think -- what if (for so many of us) our parents had made sure that we had an opportunity to hear a Zig Ziglar or Jim Rohn while we were growing up and we had set our goals, life goals, financial goals, career goals. while we were still in school - wow!--------

little things and I'll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things." Lawrence Bell
3. Your Achievement Tips
Leading Change by Dr. John C. Maxwell
Leadership is about change. If you need no change, you need no leader. In times of change, people seek out more and better leaders. Those successful sought-out leaders embrace the following thought: "The best reformers the world has ever known are those who began with themselves."
Mahatma Gandhi said, "We must be the change that we envision." Tolstoy said, "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."
The following comments are about personal change:
1. One person cannot change another person.
When I started as a young leader, I thought that a leader could change the people; and boy, did I work at it. I said, "All right, I'm going to give them thoughts, ideas, and principles; and I'm going to change people."
After several years, I awakened to the thought that the only person who can change himself or herself is himself or herself. You can change yourself, but I cannot change you. You see, I am responsible to you but I am not responsible for you; and there is a world of difference between those two. I am responsible for teaching you good leadership, I am responsible for sharing things that can help add value to your life; but you are the only one who can take responsibility to change yourself, and that is what this whole article is about.
2. Most people need to look at the way that they look at change.
How many times have you heard somebody say, "I sure hope things will change." The only way things will change for me is when I change. It has nothing to do with hope. You can't just say, "Well, I just hope things will change around me," and expect results. The only way that things will change for me is when I change.
I have also heard this before, "I don't know why I'm this way." Well, you are the way you are because that is the way you want to be. Let's expose it for what it really is.
3. When you make the right personal changes, other things begin to turn out right.
So when people say, "I'd like things to turn out better for me, I'd like things to turn out right, I'd like things to turn out better in the organization, or in my family," I say to them, "Start by making personal changes."
It is by no accident that John Maxwell has come to be known as a leader of leaders and mentor to thousands – his path and his purpose have been a single, straight thread since childhood. From the pulpit to the boardroom, his focus has always been to equip and inspire leaders at all levels.
