Spark an Idea About Something You Want So Bad You Can Taste It.

You can apply this to marketing, your business or your personal life. Want new clients? More money? A new car? Kids to get along? Whatever it is, you can achieve it. Believe me, I’m far from Miss Motivation, but I’ve seen that I’m often the only thing standing in my way when it comes to what I want.

What do I want?

Right now I want a Nikon D90 camera. I’ve been promising myself a good camera for, oh, about 10 years. I’m tired of that time never coming, so I’m saving every week toward my goal.

I also want to spend next summer in France. I always have excuses about why my family can’t go abroad. Max is too little, it costs too much, where would we put our stuff? Done. No more excuses. We’re saving with this goal in mind.

I’ve done a little reading about the power of positive thinking. I read The Secret. But it’s only been recently that I see that when I ask for things, they come. I needed some extra money to attend a conference. It appeared out of the blue.

So my advice when you want something so bad you taste it is: Get it.

Don’t make excuses. Make a plan and stick to it. You’ll soon achieve your goals and get what you want!
