Break through your resistance

It's officially Fall. Which also means the last quarter of the year is upon us. How are you doing on your goals for the year? for the quarter? Have you neglected or forgotten some of those New Year's resolutions?
Missing your deadlines, dropping goals and letting things slip, are all red flags you should pay attention to. It is important to recognize that we often resist what we need most.
If you are skirting around some of those ambitious goals, ask yourself the hard questions of why? And at what cost? If you keep repeating the same things and expecting different results, you are choosing paralysis and starvation. (If you haven't read it, take an evening and read "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson, Kenneth H. Blanchard).
Instead, to get back on track and still meet those year-end goals, use all the wherewithal you have:

• resources - read a book this weekend in the area where you need to try something new, and apply it.
• people - be accountable to someone who will hold you accountable like a trainer, coach, mentor. That person can dissolve your resistance and keep you focused on what's important.
• money - pay someone else to do it (employees or outside services), just get it done and off your plate so you can move on.

Just do whatever it takes. Make your business roar to life now to herald the end of year, so you can achieve your audacious year-long goals.
