"If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal."
-- Zig Ziglar
 

In this issue:

See the Reaching.  I like Zig Ziglar, and he has been around for a long time.  This quote caught me and got to thinking about what “See the Reaching” might mean.  I decided it is like Michael Gerber’s advice to picture in your mind the practice you want before you begin, then work on making that picture real.  Ziglar talks about an archery competition with no bulls-eye.  If the archers don’t know the target, they  have ZERO chance of hitting it.  If they have a bulls-eye to shoot at, they have a good chance of hitting it.  Seeing the Reaching is like that, I believe. 

He says that “see the reaching” means picturing yourself achieving the goal.  For someone, it might mean opening the door of a new practice the first day and greeting many patients.  For someone else, it might mean getting that great, high-paying associate job.  The more detailed the picture you create, the better.  Read the “10 Steps To Goal Setting “ by Zig Ziglar at this website:  http://www.yoursuccessstore.com/zig-ziglar.asp

New BLOGS – I’m really getting good at blogging.  At least, it’s a lot of fun and a good way to interact with people.  I have several new blogs:

As some of you know, I’ve been associated with Chiropractic Economics for several years, and I’m the editor of the content on their StudentDC website.  When I suggested doing a blog, they thought it was a great idea.  Check out my blog “StudentDC Interactive” at http://studentdc.com/studentdc-blog/

I am also blogging at another site, “Small Business Boomers”.  This one is on a blog network, B5Media, and I actually get paid to do this.  Imagine!  I put a little different content on here, with information for Baby Boomers in small businesses, but much of the information is very applicable for you too.  It’s at www.smallbusinessboomers.com. 

In addition, I’m still blogging on my two personal sites:

www.practicestartupsuccess.com – This one emphasizes practice startup topics.

www.professionalpracticesuccess.com – This one is for chiropractors and other professionals who want ideas to help their businesses grow.

Take a look at my blogs, please.  If you know how to “Stumble” or “Digg” them, I’d appreciate that.  If not, just going on gets me “hits.”   Thanks.
