goals vs. systems. intentions. purpose.
#1 Lets get honest about goal-setting and gain a new perspective. What is the difference between GOALS and Systems?
A goal: a desired result that you envision, plan and commit to achieve.
A system: a routine, method, organized structure outlining activity, to achieve the goal.
A. Goals can ruin present happiness.
Do not create unnecessary stress by setting HUGE goals and deadlines.
Set your sights on the day to day to build momentum and develop skill sets. Stay connected to grow income and influence, incrementally, over time, with consistent effort and commitment.
B. Goals can cause a stumbling block to long-term progress.
When all of your hard work is focused on a particular goal, what is left to push you forward after you achieve it? It is possible to create a type of "yo-yo effect" where you go back and forth from working on a goal to not working on one. When you do not reach a goal/deadline it feels like failure. With a system-based mentality, you are committed to the process of success, over time. Avoid a frenzied state of overwhelming activity and pushing your heart mind and body to the absolute limit only to meet a short-term goal.
System-based thinking is never about hitting a particular number or deadline - it's about sticking to a daily routine and dedicating your life-work to ongoing successes.
C. Goals suggest that you can control things that you have no control over.
You can't predict the future. Setting goals is trying to plan out where we will be and when we will make it there. We try to predict how quickly we can make progress, even though we have no idea what circumstances or situations will arise along the way. We are not promised tomorrow. We are only given this moment and this day.
Keep a success journal of your activities, that track actions and results. Every Friday, spend 15 minutes going back over your activities and evaluating what created the most momentum and buzz in your biz.
Go to your BTC performance tab, and see how things are going. Don’t fixate on these numbers, but check in each week to provide a feedback loop that tells you if you’re doing things right. When numbers drop, shake things up, do something different, be bold, do more, think things through, get advice and keep moving.
With Social Media, learn to read the charts and graphs pertaining to your FB ads and boosts. Master how to direct high quality traffic through to your website, that will translate in to sales and sponsoring – that is a great feedback loop!
Feedback, Performance Stats and Success Journals are important tools for building systems that keep track of what works and what falls flat. Good tracking systems allow us to plan and prepare with a system that signals us and our mentors, when we need to make adjustments.
None of this is to say that goals are useless. However, I've found that goals are good for planning your progress and systems are good for actually making progress.
• If you're a coach, your goal is to win a championship. Your system is what your team does at practice each day.
• If you're a writer, your goal is to write a book. Your system is the writing schedule that you follow each week.
• If you're a runner, your goal is to run a marathon. Your system is your training schedule for the month.
• If you're an entrepreneur, your goal is to build a million dollar business. Your system is your sales and marketing and sponsoring process.
If you completely ignored your goals and focused only on your system, would you still get results?
For example, as the basketball coach, if you ignored your goal to win a championship and focused on what your team does at practice each day, would you still get results? I think you would.
I am going to be honest, as an entrepreneur, I do not set measurable goals. I keep a written and running list of my best dreams, and physical, spiritual and relationship goals. From those catalyst's I get busy, moving past the planning stage, in to daily activities to create desired results. I count my running daily to-do list, as my goals for the day and the week.
I never set a definite number of appointments or calls. I am willing to make as many calls or go on as many appointments, as I need to, in order to serve my best goals and vision.
I focus on being present, and open to all of possibilities as I go about my life. My goals and desires are a part of who I am, and so my actions manifest and reflect those goals, ideas and that vision, day to day.
What is your mindset and attitude toward success? What do you want to achieve with Beautycounter? In your lifetime? How do you want to spend your time? And, What do you want to be remembered for? These are such important questions to resolve when you are setting goals and creating daily to do list's.
I have personal and professional schedules and routines, right now, that best serve this season in my life and biz. I am a busy mom, and a wife and I have a few things I would like to accomplish in my life, outside of my biz, as well, and in that, I set strict boundaries around my time and energies.
My daily GOAL IS to fit Beautycounter in every single day, in some way. I have written down my best ideas and end-vision for what I want to achieve and who I want to be. I serve these decisions in my daily actions: with quiet time, exercise, healthy menus, daily housework, strict kids schedules, and a running to do list that entails the best income producing activities I must tend to, in order to create massive momentum.
I have #1 priorities. I take my biz seriously – I keep it on a front burner, along with my family and taking care of myself, and that’s it: I do not serve anything else, I am not obligated to anything outside of those things that will best serve my end vision and best life. I actually believe that we should only serve 3 top priorities at a time, in seasons of our life and work.
YOU need to create your routine and set your priorities, to best fit your values, beliefs and your best end vision goals. Design your Beautycounter schedule around your life commitments. Decide what you are willing to bump right now to serve your top dreams and priorities.
To experience massive momentum and success: Fall in Love with The Process: Creating a powerful Social media presence; Meeting new people; Selling, Sponsoring, Scheduling; Encouraging and coaching… And, ultimately duplicating your successes and your system, over and over again!
What you do everyday becomes a part of who you are...and that is my best distinction between goals and systems. My goals define my desires and vision, however, my actions, daily steps, commitments and my priorities, shape me and shape my success.
Let’s officially declare 2015 the "Year of the Sloth" so that everyone will be forced to slow down and make consistent, methodical progress rather than chasing sexy goals for a few weeks and then flaming out.
#2 Intention. Intention is a mental state that represents a commitment to carrying out actions in the future. Intention involves mental activities such as planning and forethought.
I have a prayer box that I consistently store written notes in. These notes depict my future, in the best light, in my own words. I express how I see myself , my financial situation and my victories, in my own voice. I describe my best day, my best future, my greatest goals and end vision for my work, how I want to contribute and make a difference in the world, the kind of mom I want to be, the type of wife I hope to be, the books I want to read or write, the kind of hostess I want to be, the type of people I want around me... and, from those ideas and desires, I make decisions that allow freedom in my mind and in my life, to pursue those goals and decisions, every single day. We have to set out each day, with deep personal inspired intentions, to focus on personal and professional priorities and serve other people.
I don’t measure my progress in relation to some benchmark. I do my best each day, and start all over again, with each new sunrise.
In regard to intentions stored my prayer box, the system is: I write it down and forget about it. I walk away. It is imprinted on my heart and mind, and so I automatically walk it out. My best achievements manifest in my daily actions. My goals and desires are a spoken and written prayer now, and I trust God with my hopes and desires.
#3 Purpose. Purpose is aim. It embodies goals and intention. Purpose is why you were created and why you exist. It is what you set out to achieve, and it is why you work and live, and determines who you become and how you are remembered.
When will you be successful? Someday—somewhere off in the future? That’s how most unsuccessful people see success: as something to strive for and hope to reach “someday.”
I have certainly, in my career, viewed success as a place where I would arrive -reaching a predetermined, worthwhile goal. I realize now, that leads to “destination disease” – the belief that if we just arrive somewhere (e.g. attain a position, accomplish a goal, have a relationship with the right person), we will be successful. The truth: Success is... knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others.
Success is a journey not a destination. No matter how long you live or what you decide to do in life, you will never exhaust your capacity to grow toward your potential, nor will you run out of opportunities to help others. Treat this as a glorious day to day adventure and you’ll never accomplish some final goal - only to discover that you’re still unfulfilled and searching for something else to do.
You have the potential to become a success today. The very moment that you make the shift to finding your purpose, growing to your potential, and helping others, successful is something you are right now, not something you vaguely hope one day to be.
I believe that God created every person for a purpose. Our responsibility - and our greatest joy - is to identify it.
Finding our purpose requires us to seek to discover our passion, and our giftedness. What is the deep desire set in your heart, the thing that sets your soul on fire? What makes you cry? What do you get most excited about? And what are you good at? No one else in the world has exactly the same gifts, talents, background, or future that you do.
Think about the unique mix of abilities you have, the resources available to you, your own personal history, and the opportunities around you. If you objectively identify these factors and discover the desire of your heart, you will have done a lot toward discovering your purpose in life.
We have nearly limitless potential, yet few ever try to reach it. Why? We can do anything, but we can’t do everything. Many people let everyone around them decide what their agenda is in life. As a result, they never really dedicate themselves to their purpose in life. They become a jack of all trades, master of none.
Reaching your potential requires focus. Commitment to continual improvement is also key. Each day you can become a little bit better than you were yesterday.
Forget the past and focus on the future. That’s where your potential lies, ahead of you - no matter whether you’re eight, eighteen, forty-eight, or eighty. You still have room to improve yourself.
There’s one more important part to the success journey: helping others. Without that aspect, the journey can be a lonely and shallow experience. Helping others is something you can do right here, right now, whether it’s spending more time with your family, developing a consultant who shows potential, helping people in the community, or simply putting your own desires on hold for the sake of your team The key is to link your purpose with your desire to help others. Entertainer Danny Thomas said, “All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t discover why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It’s what you do for others.”
The success journey will not look the same for everyone, because the picture of success is different for every person. What doesn’t change are the principles - the fundamentals of success. Move past the listening and preparation stages and BEGIN to take action – RIGHT NOW, take steps in the right direction, toward your best goals and end vision!

THE DAFFODIL PRINCIPLE.
by Jaroldeen Edwards from Chicken Soup for The Soul
“Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, ‘Mother, you must come see the daffodils before they are over.’ I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead”.
Despite her reluctance, Jaroldeen agreed and made the two hour drive in the rain and fog with Carolyn. When they arrived at the daffodil garden, Jaroldeen couldn’t believe her eyes:
“We turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it down over the mountain peak and slopes . . . There were five acres of flowers. There were daffodils are far as the eye could see."
On the land, was a house with a poster that read: “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking”. The first answer was: “50,000 bulbs”. The second answer was: “One at a time, by one woman. Two hands, two feet, and very little brain”. The third answer was: “Began in 1958”.
"There it was, The Daffodil Principle. I thought of this woman who, more than forty years before, had begun-one bulb at a time-to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top.
Still, just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world. This woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. She had created something of indescribable magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.
This is one of the greatest principles of celebration. Learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time-often just one baby-step at a time-and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.
"It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Carolyn. "What might I have accomplished!""Start tomorrow," she said. "It's so pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, "How can I put this to use today?"
When you hear about someone who’s achieved an extraordinary goal, you rarely hear about the process - the daily, ordinary actions. Extraordinary successes are a result (1) ordinary actions done consistently (such as planting daffodil bulbs one bulb at a time) and (2) regular feedback (noticing what’s working, what isn’t and improving to maximize your results).
In 1993, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen had a goal: to get their book Chicken Soup for the Soul to the top of The New York Times bestseller’s list. They sought out the advice of 15 best-selling authors. As helpful as their advice was, Canfield and Hansen were left feeling overwhelmed with information. Canfield recalls his experience: "To tell the truth, we became a little crazy. We didn’t know where to start…."
When you decide on a goal and want to take action, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with all the information that’s readily available.
The problem is, if you can’t decide which information to choose, it can cause analysis paralysis, decision fatigue, and even inaction on your part. If you don’t know what to do, where do you even begin? What if you applied everything you take in, a little bit at a time, by taking five actions every day to determine what works for you and achieve your goals faster?
Overwhelmed with choice, Canfield and Hansen eventually asked teacher, Ron Scolastico, for his advice. Scolastico used the analogy of a lumberjack cutting down a tree to simplify what they needed to do: "If you would go every day to a very large tree and take five swings at it with a very sharp axe, eventually, no matter how large the tree, it would have to come down."
With that advice, Canfield and Hansen created what they called “The Rule of Five”: A commitment to taking five daily actions that would quickly move their goal towards completion.
If you’re an entrepreneur and have a monetary goal, you could email five new prospects a day or take five unrelated actions, such as creating Success Journal, to track your actions and results and evaluating to determine a best course; making one cold call; writing copy on Social Media Platforms; fixing a bug on your website or reading 10% of a Kindle book on marketing.
Maybe you can’t always take five actions but it’s important to do something.
Canfield and Hansen took five daily actions for over two years. The result? Chicken Soup for the Soul became a #1 New York Timesbestseller, sold over 10 million copies in 39 languages and was called “The publishing phenomenon of the century” by Time magazine.
To quote Robert Collier: “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out”.
What five efforts can you commit to now that will ensure your success?

Motivation vs. Inspiration
Motivation
Internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested in and committed to a job, role, or subject, and to exert persistent effort in attaining a goal.
