There ain’t no rules around here. We’re trying to accomplish something.<\/h3>\n

(Quote attributed to Thomas Edison)<\/p>\n

When you really want to get something done, you find a way.<\/p>\n

When you’re not sure you want to get it done, you find an excuse.<\/p>\n

Break the rules and don’t turn back<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Self-help books, diet plans, and solemn promises to oneself about making real change ‘tomorrow’ are sometimes only thinly-disguised schemes to prolong action.<\/p>\n

C’mon, admit it.<\/p>\n

I’ve done it, and so have you.<\/p>\n

Do you REALLY WANT to lose weight, get back in shape, or start your own business? Is there something else in your heart and on your mind you want to accomplish.<\/p>\n

You CAN, if you want to.<\/p>\n

You may have to break a few rules, though… rules like this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • I have to know everything about something before I can get started<\/li>\n
  • I have to find the perfect gym, diet, job, passion… in order to succeed<\/li>\n
  • I need my spouse, children, parents to be supportive of my decisions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What’s holding you back? What’s really holding you back?<\/p>\n

    I know the answer to that question: It’s YOU.<\/p>\n

    Challenge<\/strong>: List the ‘rules’ that keep you from moving towards those things you really want. Then break those rules.<\/p>\n

    Roadturn Principle<\/strong>: Whether you say you can’t or say you can… you’re right.<\/p>\n

    Let’s talk about it…<\/p>\n
