Begin . . . .With the End In Mind

“When you read a book . . . . You start reading the book at

the beginning . . . . and read it to the end. In business it’s

the opposite. You operate it your business with the end

 in mind to achieve your objectives.”

Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management Consultant,

Success Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Author

 

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Begin . . . . with the end in mind

 

As with any journey . . . . for it to be successful you have to know you’re destination . . . .  In other words you have to begin your journey. . . . with the end in mind.

 

When you have your destination you have . . . . a clear path to follow to reach your chosen destination.

 

When you start with the end in mind . . . . You can effectively concentrate your energy and efforts to achieve . . . . a specific objective with greater proficiency. As you concentrate your energy . . . . you create the power of purpose to stay on the right path to achieve your desired results.

 

Beginning with end in mind . . . . clears the clutter from your thinking to a point . . . . to where your thoughts are focused on your objectives. When you’re focused on your destination your actions will work in harmony with your thinking to pull you . . . .  closer to your destination . . . . and to achieve your goals.

 

When you begin . . . . with the end in mind you are planning in advance to succeed . . . . You internal GPS is set . . . . and your pathway to achieving your objective is there for you to follow.

Lou, as long as I could remember, I always read the last chapter in the book, then read it through. I know it's not normal but that's me!

Lou, when question with a buyer question " What do I think about purchasing this Property" my immediate answer is "Do you think at this price it make sense to Sell". If so, then its a buy. Just my spin on a age old question.
