What kind of CEO would you be?

So Sunday after my Easter festivities, I decided to hop online and partake in one of my favorite past times, online poker. Ok, so this blog isn't really about me playing poker. It's about what I started thinking about between hands.

What Kind of CEO You Be?

Being in business I often times try to imagine what would I be like as a CEO of a large public Corporation. Have you ever thought about this? If not, then I want you to imagine you where given total freedom to head up any corporation you wanted. No worries, you are not expected to know everything. Your first year you will have several knowledgeable members of the Board of Directors mentoring you until you get the hang of calling the shots. What I really want you to think about is your work ethic, your life, and even you extravagant finances. What would your life and even your daily routine look like if you were "The CEO".

Would you wake up early each morning watch the news and catch coffee before your day started. Would you be at work promptly? Would you be consistent with your work? Would you be eager to learn, and would you be excited about the company you had chosen to head up?

What would be your motivation in work each day? Are you saving up for some sort of exotic vacation like the Caribbean or maybe the Mediterranean? Are you just looking to get established financially so you can help your family and get them out of debt? Maybe you are just focusing on getting yourself financially secured and professionally established? Or maybe you want to help greater man kind through your corporation and with your personal finances. Maybe you are the type of person that really wants to do your part to impact the world, helping the poor and those less fortunate.

Do you realize that you are a CEO now? That's right we are currently the CEO's of our own life. Making decisions and choices that impact our net worth just like we would be making decisions and choices that impact our company's bottom line. How much profit do you make each month? Are you as excited about your own life and where you are taking it, as you would be if you had the dream job of running the company of your choice? Working towards your life's goals start by what you are doing right now. What actions are you take on a day to day basis? Are you excited about your life and where you are headed? If not, that is the issue holding you back.

Make a decision to day to be the CEO you would want to be and who knows you may become that CEO one day!

What separates 2 precenters from 98 precenters?

This is the lesson that I was referring to several blog posts ago. I was recently taught that there is only one factor that objectively determines whether someone is a two precenter or not. This was such an incredible eye opener for me and a butt kicker if you know what I mean. So are you ready? The only way to know objectively if someone is a part of the 2 precenter category is simply this.

Two precenters consistently set goals and for the most part achieve the goals they are setting!

When I first heard this, it made perfect sense to me. When someone is setting goals and achieving them then it is impossible for them to not be achieving success. Could you imagine someone setting a lifetime of goals and hitting most of them? Just imagine the life they would lead, the family the would have, the success they would have in business, etc. It just makes sense. Notice, the goals don't have to be incredibly ambitious or large. It's just a matter of setting goals hitting them and setting new goals over and over again. It's like a magic formula for success almost.

The butt kicking part came when I went back and realized that I have almost consistently hit goals but have not achieved them. To be honest, I have to say this is because I end up have very ambitious goals. I have to rethink my goals for the year and the month and let you know what they are. I am going to focus on hitting my goals much more often.
