95 Days on the Wall, how are you doing on your 2010 goals?  Do you have your ACTION PLAN yet? What one thing you can do today that will get you closer to reaching your goal by the end of the year? There is a natural tendency to drift and lose focus as we approach the end of anything.  Drift can kill momentum and zaps energy causing you to lose sight of the goal.  This challenge takes stock of where you are (right now) and uses the last 100 days of the year to encourage, clear the clutter and build momentum.  The first 90 Days sets a pace to achieve your year-end goals.  The last 10 days celebrates how far you have come, leaving you energized, setting the stage for 2011 to be your "BEST YEAR EVER!" 
 
This year's Challenge is about the BIOLOGY OF SUCCESS.   So far we learned that:

1.  Success is not genetic, but rather fueled by your mental energy.
2.  Success is not the WIN; it is doing the little things well that sets you up to Win.
3.  Success is a Strategy, not a destination .

Today we see that... 

"Success is more a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius." — An Wang

Preparing the Way...

My father-in-law raised Angus cattle and grew wheat on his farm in North Dakota.  It was his family homestead.  Just as his grandfather did each spring, he routinely primed his fields to plant.  First, he removed the rocks that pushed up through the soil and surfaced during the spring thaw.  Further, he marked the immovable rocks to avoid hitting them as he worked his fields.  Thus, he prepared the way toward safely and efficiently working the soil to plant and ultimately harvest the best yield possible each year. 

This continuous process is part of nature’s rhythm; an innate purging and renewing that takes place around the world.  Just as the fields, we find rocks in our life/work environment.  Rocks that surface in our emotions, thoughts, habits and actions 

What rocks keep you from effective and efficiently preparing the way to reaching your goals?  Identify the rocks you must move out of the way and those that you should work around to reach the goal(s) you set?
