Wednesday Inspiration #3
Today’s inspiration is designed to help you think more deeply about the obstacles you face in business (and life)! Today’s headline is inspired by Brian Clarke’s The Cosmo Headline Challenge over at Copyblogger.com. Thanks, Brian!
Overcoming Obstacles: Obstacles are most prevalent and disruptive when you are distracted from your focus and commitment to accomplishing your goals. The secret to overcoming your obstacles is found in your focus and commitment to success.
A Coaching Exercise
Identify the 3 biggest obstacles preventing you from achieving one of your most important goals.
Spend 10 or so minutes envisioning what the accomplishment of this particular goal will feel like and how it will impact your life. Now, envision how you will feel and how your life will be impacted if you do not achieve your goal.
Will you feel a great pain or void if the goal is not accomplished? If you will not feel a great pain or void, consider getting rid of the goal in its current form and re-framing it so the accomplishment of your goal will really have a big impact on your life.
If you will feel a great pain from not accomplishing your goal, spend no less than 10 minutes focusing on what it will take to make the goal a reality … and prepare to be amazed at how the obstacles will fall away.
If you need help, just let us know! We would love to help you design S.M.A.R.T. Goals that are powerful enough to overcome your obstacles.
Until next time …. Take GREAT Care!

Innovative approach. The thinking man’s blog. Refreshing.
Whenever something happens in your life, your brain will ask two questions: First, is this going to bring me pain or pleasure? Second, what must I do now to avoid the pain and or gain the pleasure? How you interpret the situation will determine your answers.
Good post. You make some great points that most people do not fully understand.
“Overcoming Obstacles: Obstacles are most prevalent and disruptive when you are distracted from your focus and commitment to accomplishing your goals. The secret to overcoming your obstacles is found in your focus and commitment to success.”
I like how you explained that. Very helpful. Thanks.
Some very wonderful advice here. Goals that a person may have long thought of may not necessarily be realistic goals any longer. You’ve made a good point a figuring this out…
Thanks much,

I think it is a fundamental must in overcoming obstacles to sit down and write out obstacles, goals, and the steps needed for success. This is crucial, not just for problem solving but for organzing a plan to overcome any obstacle.
