Success Results From Commitment

When it comes to achieving goals, success comes through commitment.

I love to work out at the gym. But, my least favorite month at the gym is January. Why? Because it’s so crowded. It’s crowded because there are so many new people who set a New Year’s goal of getting in better shape.

However, by February the gym is much less crowded because the large majority of people who set a New Year’s goal of working out more … have given up on their goal … and gone back home. Some new faces continue to show up in February and March, and on through the year. These are the people who COMMITTED to building a fitness routine for the New Year.

I love to say that January is for goals, but February through December are for COMMITMENT. As I discussed in last month’s edition of News & Notes, setting one to three BIG goals for the year is a great plan of attack.

However, once you get to February, goals will fade away unless they’re backed by commitment. You see, when you commit to something, your brain works differently. When you commit to something fully, your brain keeps feeding you ideas, solutions, possibilities, and even more ideas that keep you clawing and scrapping to achieve your goals.

When you were growing up, was there a dog in your neighborhood who was committed to digging its way of its yard? Of course there was. Did the dog succeed? Yep. They always do. That’s because dogs don’t try to dig out of yards … and they don’t “give it their best shot” for a month or two. Dogs don’t have the intellectual capacity to do this.

Instead, dogs commit to digging their way to freedom. And they always succeed. So in 2017, channel your inner dog and fully COMMIT to achieving your copywriting goals. Do this and you will feel a difference in how your brain is working … and this feeling will make you unbeatable.
