4 Keys to Implementation

Keys to implementation
The # 1 reason most small business owners don’t grow is F.T.I. (Failure To Implement). You know what to do and you know how to do it, you just don’t do it. Sure, information is great because you can get “inspired to implement” by listening to a cd or going to a seminar. I know that my mental state is dramatically changed when I listen to Zig Ziglar’s stuff in the car. I can be a little discouraged, or just plain tired, and before you know it I’m laughing, encouraged and inspired again.
So, INSPIRATION is the first key. I call it “Inspiration to Implementation”. Have you ever noticed that people who are really growing and moving are inspired?
The second key is ORGANIZATION. Being enthusiastic is wonderful, but enthusiasm without direction is like spinning your wheels in the sand. You are exerting a lot of energy, but not getting much traction. Take some time each morning to work on your projects, get focused and run your business and career by a calendar.
Three is STRATEGY. You can be as inspired as you want, but if you are using the wrong strategy, it won’t work. For example, if you are trying to attract high end clients with a marketing strategy that is reaching low end prospects, it ain’t gonna work. Now this is an obvious example, but when was the last time you truly challenged your strategies to see if you are going about the things the right way?
And finally, the most important of all is SUPPORT. You must have people in your life that believe in you. You must have a community of people that can inspire you, challenge you and hold you accountable. No man is an island. We all need others looking into our lives and giving input. Of course your dream team needs to have people who have the right agenda and that have your best interest at heart, and they need to be competent.

Get involved with a group of people that you can share your goals and dreams with. People that are like-minded that will support you. You will be better for it. - HP

Got something to say?
Great post! I like Zig Ziglar’s line in relation to the Inspiration key: “Do it, and you’ll be motivated to do it.” It’s so true that “people who are growing and moving are inspired.” Get moving and the motivation will come!
For some strange reason I trust you .I trust your info .If I had the money I would definently join your organization .right now its tight.but Mr. Howard im going to make a point to come to one of your meeting ,just to listen.Maybe because I look at myself as a God fearing man and I can tell you are also, by the words that you always speak. God has not let me down yet and i know he won’t.Some thing keeps telling me to get involved with your group .I will be in touch.

Thank you Harry!!! We look forward to seeing you. And yes, if it was not for the GRACE of Almighty God through Jesus Christ, I hate to think of where I would be. As you say, God has never steered me wrong, or anyone for that matter. Sometimes we get in the flesh and get off track, but our loving Father is there waiting for us when we return to our senses!
Great point Deacon! If you just do what you know you should do whether you feel like it or not, your feelings even change in the process!
Thanks, HP! My experience is that you are 100% correct on this.
