Results, Purpose, Action – RPA

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Results, Purpose, Action (RPA) is a strategy Jamie McIntyre has implemented and now teaches to ensure that once a person’s dreams and goals have been established they have a system to turn them into reality.

The RPA Planning Process is a proven system for taking anything you can envision and making it real. It teaches you how to organise and think clearer thereby turning your thoughts into positive action instead of a muddling, overwhelming chaos.

The process is broken down into three steps:-

Step 1 -

Result – Ask yourself – “What do I want from this situation – what do I want my result to be?” Result is the R in RPA so be sure you ask yourself what you want the result to be not “What should I do” but “What result am I committed to achieving?”

Until you are clear on the result you want any ‘to do’ lists or plans will not be enough to motivate you to action.

The second step is:-

Purpose – Ask yourself – “Why do I want that result – what is my purpose”? To achieve anything successfully there must be a ‘why’ a compelling purpose or reason something that will keep you going in spite of setbacks. Without a reason then giving up is easy,
there isn’t a lot we do without a reason. So find your purpose and be specific and clear about it.

The third step -

Action – Ask yourself – “What action do I need to take to achieve the result I want”? So once you know what you want your result to be and why you are committed to achieving it you are then in a state of mind to begin creating an action plan.

The sequence for stepping towards success in achieving your goals and dreams always begins with the end in mind. You must be totally clear about the result you want, then be able to build a burning reason to achieve it before you can decide the action you need to take and have the commitment to follow it through.

Have a Productive Day

Success in Point Form

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

1. Keep Your Goals in Sight

I bet you’re saying that you already know this, that’s great but are you following through?        Do you have your goals up on the wall where you can see them several timnes a day? Do you get excited when you read them? How much energy you put in here will have a direct correlation with your results and achievements. Don’t skimp on this very important first point.

2. Take One Step at a Time

Trying to do it all at once can be your worst enemy, nothing really gets done as it should. If you find that you have to carry out a lot of the roles yourself at first then at least be well organised. Keep a planner and prioritise your day and complete one task at a time to the best of your ability.

3. Teach What You Know

Be prepared to pass on your work, delegate. Don’t keep all the work to yourself part of your roll when becoming successful is passing on your knowledge. Once you have mastered a skill consider whether it will be more beneficial to teach someone else to complete the necessary task so you can leverage your time. If you are tied up with every aspect of your business or endeavour how will you have any time left to grow and develop.

4. Do Something Everyday

If you have written out your goals it is a good idea to factor into your schedule at least thirty minutes each day to do something towards achieving them. It may be a phone call, an exercise or study, whatever it is include it in your daily schedule and you will move that little bit closer everyday.

5. Keep Learning

If you are wanting to create wealth you have to be prepared to keep learning, taking responsibility for the financial knowledge you need is up to you.

6. Believe in Yourself

It can be hard to stay on track sometimes, well meaning fanily and friends may be telling you it can’t be done. But you know with belief , desire and commitment amazing things have been achieved. It’s your life, you owe it to yourself and the world to live it to the best of your ability.

Have an Inspiring day

Take Time

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

How important is time?

Let’s go over the concept of time a little. Do we really appreciate just how precious it really is?

My guess is probably not. Everyday we are all given the same amount of hours in the day, hours that once spent cannot be replaced. How much thought do you give to time, really?

The way I think about time is the same as I feel about life, we have to make the most of it because once it’s gone…it’s gone.

So how do you use your time?

You have no power to change how many hours there are in each day, your potential power lies in how you use that time. We all say we need more hours in the day, we need to be able to turn 24 hours into thirty or thirty-six.

So how do you see time, is it working with you or against you?

If you want to succeed in any endeavour whether it’s having successful relationships, success in work or studies or in creating wealth you have to be in control of your time, don’t let time control you.

Do you give control of your time to worry or fear, do you let yourself be pulled away from tasks you have set, are you distracted when you are with the people you love?

If you are to succeed in achieving your goals - you have a mission, if you choose to accept it.

Take control of your time.

Examine your moments in time, you are either in control or out of control, there is no in-between.

To take control of your life make a list of your daily activities, plan your day, assess where you need to spend your time and stick to it.

Have an Incredible Day

What I Can Do Right!

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

If you want to succeed in life, as most of us do, have a look at these tips I’ve picked up from Napolean Hill’s, Think and Grow Rich (pp 120 – 126). There are thirty one reason’s, according to Hill, why people don’t succeed here are some of them.

  1. Have a Well-Defined Life Purpose ~ Without a definite goal or reason to be motivated it is unlikely that what is required to achieve success will be done.
  2. Be Self-Disciplined ~ Self control must be mastered. Negative thoughts must be conquered. This may be the hardest task you will have to do but if you are not in control of yourself you leave room for excuses, procrastination and inactivity to creep in.
  3. Good Health ~ If you have poor health it will be difficult to focus on success, do all you can to lead a healthy life. Eat well, exercise regularly, maintain a positive outlook, breathe deeply and develop healthy peaceful relationships.
  4. Be Persistent ~ Seeing a task through to the end can be a challenge that many don’t see through. Persistence will defeat failure, don’t give up before you reach your goal. You may have to reassess the path you are taking but don’t give up on the goal.
  5. Be Willing to Take Some Risks ~ All forms of investment involve some risk but if you never take risk you will never achieve anything. Do not be careless in your judgments, get as many facts as you can and then make your decision.

Many people have claimed that reading Think and Grow Rich several times over has made a huge difference in their ability to create wealth. If you haven’t read it then now’s a good time and if you have it’ a good time to read it again. One thing I have learnt is that you must stay on top when it comes to giving yourself a daily dose of your ability to succeed. photo_7139_20090629

Power Thought

I complete all the necessary tasks.

Repeat this to yourself often

Tips on Writing Goals

Friday, November 27th, 2009

A goal that works is one that is broken down until it represents a single event. It is the progressive, sequential accumulation of single events that ensures the final desired end result is accomplished.

For example if your goal is to save $10K this year and you are paid fortnightly, you should have 26 single event goals, each written progressively to allow for changed circumstances.

Your goals must be SMARTIES that is:

  • SPECIFIC ~ Representing a single event
  • MEASURABLE ~ Monitoring progress so you can attain it
  • ATTAINABLE ~ If you can conceive it, you can attain it
  • REALISTIC ~ Within the bounds of logic and circumstances
  • TANGIBLE ~ Something you can see and touch
  • INSPIRATIONAL ~ A goal which inspires you to action
  • EMOTIONAL ~ To achieve your goal you must become emotionally involved with it
  • SUCCESSFUL ~ Is this moving you to your ultimate success?

Make a goal planning sheet for each area of your life:

  • Health
  • Family
  • Career/Business
  • Financial
  • Education
  • Spiritual
  • Social
  • Other

Use it to guide you, go into detail, be specific. Write down every possible benefit you will realise as a result of achieving your goal and its impact on all areas of your life.photo_7471_20090723

Now build a master goal sheet and just let your imagination run free, ignore any imagined limitations of money, education or ability and be completely unrestrained and freewheeling. Add to your list daily, weekly and monthly for the rest of your life.

The most important step is committing to your goals 100%. You can never quit without achieving or reassessing a goal once you have written it down.

All you have to do right now though is commit to start, do something right now, take your first step to achieving one of your goals. Every day from now on do at least one thing that will keep you on track to achieving your goal.

Power Thought

I now go beyond my fears and limitations

Repeat this to yourself several times a day

Climbing the Ladder of Success

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Are you climbing the ladder of success?

Can you relate to the meaning behind this well known phrase?

photo_9998_20091118Climbing a ladder takes effort and you must take one step at a time, you don’t take one or two steps and then you’re there, it’s a progression to the top. Each step gives you a foundation to take the next step, miss one and you could be in trouble. If you’re going to get to your goal you have to take every step, climb all the way to the top, going halfway, in all liklihood, will take you no where. But if you have taken any step at all, if you have taken your feet off the ground then you are definately getting closer, don’t give up all you need to do is follow the steps laid out before you and you will make it.

Og Mandino’s book, University of Success (1982), Lesson 29 by Cavett Robert  teaches three rules that will help you on your climb up the ladder.

  1. Know what you are doing.
  2. Love what you are doing.
  3. Believe in what you are doing.

Today we are going to cover step 1:-

Know what you are doing.

We have to realise to be successful we need to be constantly increasing our knowledge base. You can never stop and say ‘That’s it I know enough’ or ‘I know it all’, and you should certainly never think it. The economy is constantly changing, workers in almost every field are continually needing to be retrained.

Have we not experienced, so many times, some bit of information that was right yesterday has turned out to be wrong today. It can be tiring to realise that what you have already learned no longer applies. Knowledge keeps evolving and we must keep up or be left behind we must run just to stand still (University of Success, p293). Success is an ever changing, ever evolving journey that we must be involved in by moving forward, by readjusting our destination. By being prepared to keep on learning we continue to grow, we continue to live, otherwise we have begun to die.

Learn all you can about the industry you are in and the areas where you want to succeed the most, whether it’s your job, business or your relationships be willing to learn, to grow and to change to keep moving one steady step at a time up the ladder.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “The older I get the more I realise that there is but one wealth, one security, on this earth and that is found in the ability of a person to perform a task well and first and foremost this ability must start with knowledge.”

So whatever tool you are using to create wealth learn your craft well and be prepared to keep learning.

Todays Power Thought

I am climbing the ladder of success and my income continues to exceed my expectations.

Repeat this to yourself several times today.
