Clarity of Purpose and Direction -- the First Step Toward Success
Successful people clarify their purpose and direction in life. They have a clear understanding of what success means to them and an image of themselves as a success. Everything they do is consistent with their clarity of purpose. They look forward and decide where they want to be. Their day to day actions all help move them closer to their vision of success, and are consistent with their clarity of purpose. When you clarify your purpose and live it, you will hardly ever procrastinate or find yourself going off on tangents. You'll be laser focused on living the life that is important to you.
Success and Your Personal Mission and Vision
Successful people define a clarity of purpose and direction for their lives and careers. Your clarity of purpose and direction should include both a personal mission (your purpose) and a personal vision (your direction). Your mission is your reason for living, why you are on this earth. It is unlikely to change over the long run. Your vision is a short or medium term goal that defines the direction you will take over the next three to five years. It will change are you grow and develop in your life and career. Your vision must be consistent with your mission.

They took the responsibility for making things happen. It is very difficult to become successful without initiative. Procrastination is the fertilizer that makes difficulties grows.

What a Little Boy's Clarity of Purpose Teaches Us About Success
Successful people clarify their purpose and direction in life. Your purpose is your mission -- why you exist. Your direction is your vision -- where you are going in the short term. New Orleans Saints head coach, Shawn Payton's son has a simple purpose in life -- to spend as much fun time with his father as he can. That's why he worried that he wouldn't be able to have his post game catch with him last Sunday -- because the field was covered in confetti. What is your mission in life? What is your vision for the next five years? If your answer is, "I don't know," please take some time to answer these questions.

Successful People Live a Mighty Purpose
Success is built on four pillars; clarity of purpose and direction, a sincere commitment to taking personal responsibility for your life and career, unshakeable self confidence and competence in a few key areas. George Bernard Shaw's quote on being used for a mighty purpose gets at the ideas behind developing your clarity of purpose and direction -- and the importance of taking personal responsibility for your life and career. If you want to succeed, start by determining why you are on this earth, and then devote yourself to living that purpose every single day of your life.

Your Values and Your Success
Successful people clarify their purpose and direction in life. Your personal values are an important part of your clarity of purpose and direction. Values are guides to decision making in ambiguous situations. They center you. They provide you with a touchstone when you are trying to make important decisions. If you have not already clarified your personal values, I suggest that you do so -- the sooner the better. You'll find that clarifying your personal values is time well spent.
Always Ask What Then?
Often as we receive instructions to accomplish a task we are satisfied with the first part of the directions given.

Take the plunge!
Spring is here! It’s time to take a broom, and sweep away all the clutter and detritus of winter! Make a fresh start! Focus on what you really want to do. Don’t use any more excuses! Often, a lack of confidence in your own abilities holds you back. It stops you reaching for what you really want, and encourages you to settle for second best. You decide to test the water first, and get used to the temperature gradually. You paddle, but you do not take that plunge.
How to Motivate Your Staff and Employees to Do Their Best
While it’s true that you can’t really motivate your employees; they have to motivate themselves; there are some things you can do as an owner or manager to create the proper environment for employees to provide their own self-motivation, i.e., to do what is expected of them. To do this, you need to find out what motivates your employees.

Slowing Down to the Speed of Thought

Your Intuition is Speaking. Are You Listening?
The voice that says “YES, this is the right decision”, “No, let’s pass on this”, or even “Hmm, let’s mull this over a bit.” In each instance your voice within advises you to take action, even if it is in-action. But do you really listen to it, or do you scoff at the idea that you actually pay attention to your inner voice?

Open Door - Right Direction?
Here’s a reader question: Dan, My big goal is to start a business and I’ve taken the first few steps. My broad goal is simply to find a different job. It’s funny though – the more I work on my business plan, the more interviews and job opportunities come open to me. I’m not sure if it’s a sign that I’m really headed on the right track (and the other jobs are distractions) or if it’s a sign that there’s something else out there for me (just a different job, not my own business). How do you figure that out?
