Many times we simply lose sight of our goals.(Don’t let it happen!) That’s why it’s so important to be clear on yours and to keep them in front of you. Write them down and post them where you will see them-often. Put them on your mirror for when you’re brushing your teeth. Put them on Post-It notes on your computer screen or on a screensaver and even on little business sized cards in your wallet or purse.
I recommend having your top three goals specifically defined, measurable, action-oriented , realistic and timely deadline.
Don’t forget to have a look at the daily updated Cartoon Motivators site…
Here is a quote I recently came across by Og Mandino which I really liked – so I thought, hey let’s do a cartoon video to it!:
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
