The Proven Way To Go Get Whatever You Want!

by Mark Duin

Have you ever wondered how the tiny nation of Japan came to dominate so many world Industries. They took over the worlds steel industry in the 70's (even though they don't have any steel on their tiny island). They took over the world's electronic industry in the 1980's. Now they've taken over the world's auto industry.

How in the world can a county the size of Montana dominate the entire world in so many major industries?

Planning, that's how. The Japanese plan their industry moves in 10 year increments. While American business thinks very short term, "how can we make our numbers this quarter". Japan has a big picture plan to follow. They have a long term strategy and make all their decisions in relation to their goals. Sure they adjust their plan if needed but they do have a plan to succeed, and they do succeed.

If you've been in the business world very long you've observed numerous projects, some succeed and some fail. It's no surprise that a common factor of successful projects is that they all have a good project plan. Most failed projects on the other hand have no planning or poor planning in common. It's exactly the same for individuals like you and me.

Amazingly, almost all successful people create a plan for their careers and for their lives. Once they set a goal for any area of their lives, career, fitness, personal development and so on, they make a plan to achieve it. That's why they succeed more often than not, instead of the other way around.

Today you too can join the ranks of the world's most successful people. All you need to do is spend a little time with that amazing brain of yours and simply create a strategy to get what you want. Just start setting a few goals and creating plans to attain them!

Here's an outline that can help...

Step 1 - Define what you really want and why it's important to you!

Step 2 - List everything you need to do to get where you want to go!

Step 3 - Create a master task list of simple actions you can take.

Step 4 - Organize all your tasks into byte size time frames.

Next 30 Days
1 Month to 2 Months Out
2 Months to 3 Months Out... and so on...

Step 5 - Take out your first 30 day task list and work on it every day for 30 days.

Step 6 - Take out your next task list and work on it every day for 30 days.

If you have any left over items from one list, just add them to the next list and keep going.

Before you know it you'll find you're accomplishing far more in 30, 60, 90 days than many people accomplish in years. Once I mapped out and wrote an entire book in about 60 days, while most people who say they want to write a book never even get started! Keep in mind I'm no genius. I was a 9th grade drop out till age 27 and had only ready 2 books cover to cover by my early 30's!

People often ask me how I've been able to accomplish so much and be so successful. I usually let them know the truth. You can go get almost anything you want if you...

1. Know what you want (if you don't know, take time to figure out what you want).

2. Make a plan to get what you want.

3. Constantly find ways to make yourself follow your plan.

If it can work for the nation of Japan and for former street dwelling drop out's like me, it will work for you too!

Before I finish this article I'd like to ask you a straight forward question. If someone shared with you the secret of how to get whatever you want almost every single time, would you use it?

It's true, you can have almost anything you want. So go for it already and start enjoying even more of life you deeply desire!
