PUSH!

People who have a deadline to accomplish a certain goal, whether it be financial, structural, a position to be achieved, or a sales target, need to get into a "Push" mentality. You can choose to be a loser and back off, simmer down, cool off, give up, compromise, lower your standards, start making excuses in advance, complain, whine, or PUSH. Winners PUSH. They don't know how to quit. And so they win. The discomfort of quitting far exceeds the discomfort of pushing.

What do I mean by PUSH? Here are a few questions that will put you into a push mode, and by taking responsibility, you will be amazed at how powerful you will become:

Have I asked EVERYONE I KNOW to buy / join / take action / attend? If not, why not? Do I fear their choices more than failure? If I have asked them, I will ask them again! Every "NO" gets me closer to a "YES!"

Who can reach a large group of people in my behalf, to sell / announce / promote my product / service / opportunity? Have I asked them what it will take / what they want in return for enthusiastically promoting me?

What group of people can I get to, how can I do it, and who can help me? Can I attend every business networking meeting and promote there? Have I emailed everyone I know and asked them to e mail their people?

If I was really desperate and my life was at stake, what would I do to achieve this goal? Is my Comfort Zone limiting my success? What haven't I tried?

If I was giving advice to someone else how to accomplish this objective, what advice would I give THEM?

Who has already accomplished this goal, that can show me what to do and how to do it?

If I am using TIME as an excuse, what activities can I cancel / postpone in order to free up the time I need to make this happen? Being BUSY and being PRODUCTIVE are not necessarily the same thing.

MAKE it happen. Don't accept the possibility of failure / defeat. INSIST on success, whatever it takes. Be a warrior, not a worrier. Check your attitude. Get positive, optimistic, and enthusiastic. As Dale Carnegie taught us, "ACT enthusiastic, and you'll BE enthusiastic!" Focus on what you want, not on what you don't want.
Align yourself with strong winners, top achievers, and motivated producers. Call the most successful person you know and ask for their advice, then TAKE their advice and ACT upon it. PUSH.
