What Do You Want to
Accomplish?
by Jeffrey D. Brown
“What do you want to accomplish?”
Its a simple question, but your response can reveal a lot about you and what you're going
for in life. Knowing what you want to accomplish is vitally important because
clarity influences success. By knowing what you want to accomplish, and then
orienting your behavior around it, you shape the results you get in business and in life.
When was the last time you seriously considered this question? If you are in
business and you want to see your business grow, it is a useful question to ponder.
Imagine how different your day might be if you fully oriented your activities
around this simple question and your responses to it.
What would your business be like if you sat down today with your principals and employees
and explored this question? I mean *really* explored it with the intention of
clarifying your vision so fundamentally that it refocused the efforts of your staff.
What might you learn about untapped talents and hidden opportunities?
What might you discover about future trends in your field by asking trusted
advisors for their response?
As a coach who specializes in helping professionals and business owners
develop their vision and people skills so that they can grow a more successful business, I
have come to believe that having a clear picture what your business is designed to
accomplish is vital to the success of your venture.
A central theme of the teleclass I offer called “Accessing Your Magic Genie” is
the fundamental principle: *what we focus on expands*. At first glance, this concept
may strike you as simplistic, especially if you've been focused on the more practical
mechanics of business rather than on vision. Holding a clear picture of what
you want to create requires focus, deliberation, and consistent attention.
Asking yourself on a regular basis what you want to accomplish, and then focusing your
attention and activities in that direction, can lead to exciting shifts in your business.
The key is to remember that you must consistently entertain a clear picture
of what you wish to accomplish, not by rote memory, but by regularly exploring the
question.
*Magic genie thinking* proposes that the real creative power is what you do with what
arises moment-to-moment, day-by-day, within your own head and heart. By
following the prompting you find there, you increase your ability to respond effectively
to trends and opportunities in your industry, keeping pace with the times by staying
attuned to your own inner promptings and vision.
This inward attunement matched with outward action is part of an
*attraction-based* business approach, and represents the leading edge in customer service
and marketing. It could be the next step in the evolution of *your* business.
It all begins with a simple question that sets your vision on what lies ahead.
And that question is: “What do you want to accomplish?”
Let your answer to this question initiate a period of learning and
exploration. Call on your coach to help you clarify your thinking and put your
insight into action. Test your theories while tending to business, and bring
your focus back again and again to what you want, to the end result of the business you
are creating, to what you do with the precious moments of your day.
Over time, you'll be glad you did.
May good things come to you!
