Can you make it happen???

Would you like to be a person you can make it happen?
Do you want to finish the project, win the race, complete the diet or set up a new company? Here are my thoughts on making it happen.
A great way to have all projects reach completion on time is by constantly keeping the end in mind. It doesn't matter what you want to do. They all should be approached the same way.
First, submit the process to the end result. Don't let the result ever be submitted to the process. In other words, visualize what the end will look like. Let your dream become a reality in your mind. If you cannot see what you want, you will be in danger of letting the process produce the results. This is why most people settle for less than they actually want.
This week I decided to change the lighting in the worship center and we also started a new worship series which required a new platform reset. I knew exactly what the end result was going to be before I lifted a finger to begin. By having a clear view of the end I was able to marshall resources, regulate time and produce production schedules that always seem to fit.
Winning sports figures never look at themselves as losers. They always visualize themselves in the winners circle.
Let me issue a disclaimer for all who now have diagnosed me as the ultimate control freak. Most leaders will tell you that they are always working to give away projects and ideas for others to complete. While this is true, most all of these same leaders when they started their leadership process had to hand pick and personally supervise the projects that were dear to them until the people who were around them understood the level of accomplishment they were looking for.
Let's say you have a large project to complete. In that case you have to clearly instill the vision you want into others involved so they can have the same mindset. Sometimes people are not able to visualize the final results. What then? Simply section off what they can visualize. Let them see what is their part. Make the tasks for them small enough so they can see it. When they are completed put their results into the larger picture. They will be amazed.
The last part of the process that insures success is by keeping the "whatever it takes" mindset. No job is to big or to little. You can never say " that's not my job" make every job your job and no detail is too small or to big to be considered. Do what others won't do. Refuse to quit even if everyone else wants to quit. Your goal as a leader is to do less and less of the details and more and more of the concept but keep in mind that people are always looking at what I call your "capacity for completion." If you cannot complete or motivate others to complete the project, your projects will always be less than you expect them to be.
You can have any goal you want if you keep these two basic principles in place.
just a thought...
