4th Quarter Grind Series: Week 2 - Do

The Most Effective Way To Do It, Is To Do It

-Amelia Earhart

Welcome to the December edition of the Straight Up Mindset Blog. This months series is the 4th Quarter Grind Series. First weeks topic was called Dream. This weeks topic is called DO.

This is going to be the last blog of the year so lets make sure to finish out the year strong. In week 1 we talked about dreaming and how it was the foundation to how you want your life to be. Well dreaming is great and it is the foundation, but in order to make your dream come true you must do. It is time to put all the things you have written down and planned out into action. Without action everything will remain a thought and a dream

Bruce Lee said it best "Knowing is not enough, We must apply. Willing is not enough, We must do" Remember, like the title of this series is called: "Its the 4th quarter and this is crunch time." This is the time for execution not excuses. Making excuses right now is the perfect way to send you home packing with your tail between your legs. This is the time that separates the fakes from the greats.

So make sure to put those plans into action and make your dreams become a reality. A lot of the times the only thing that keeps us from greatness is lack of execution of a plan. Only you can hold yourself back and only you can convince yourself to go out and be great.

We want to thank all of you who have been following our blog and who have been supporting the movement. We started this blog to help provide helpful info and insight into how one can reach their fullest potential. We hope that this has been helpful to you and we plan on continuing this move for years to come. As mentioned at the beginning this is the last blog of the year as we are going to shut it down for now. We are going to spend the last few weeks of this month planning for 2018 and also spending the holidays with our families. So once again lets finish out 2017 strong. Start getting your plan together for 2018. So once the new year starts, you will hit the ground running and start the new year off with a bang!

Straight Up!!

4th Quarter Grind Series: Week 1 - Dream

The Biggest Adventure You Can Take Is To Live The Life of Your Dreams

-Oprah Winfrey

Welcome to the December edition of the Straight Up Mindset Blog. This months series is the 4th Quarter Grind Series. Week One's topic is called Dream.

Its the 4th quarter ladies and gentlemen. This is crunch time, this is the time where winners win and losers lose. This is the time where you can take your situation from bad to good and good to great. Hopefully you've been following the blogs and applying the principles we have been giving out to you guys. If you haven't don't worry, its not too late to get started. Its never too late to get your life started on the track you want it to be. You just have to actually get started and the first step to help you get started is to have a dream.

You might be asking yourself,what do you mean by dream? How does a dream start my life on the path to greatness. Having a dream is the foundation of how to build your life the way you want it to be. You have to start somewhere, you have to have some type of vision to know what direction you need to go. Everything starts with a dream. Some kids want to be president, some want to be an astronaut, and even some people want to develop the next cure for cancer. Let me ask you this, do you know what you want? Do you know how you want your life to be in the next 5-10 yrs? Do you know what you love to do and hate to do? What is it that fuels you? Money?, Family?...etc

These are the questions you have to ask yourself in order to get to the root of what it is you want from your life. Too many people just spend their life floating around not really know what they are doing and why. Martin Luther King started with a dream and that dream became a reality. Are we where we need to be? No.. Have we made progress? Absolutely. So my point is, if you can take time to sit down and really figure this first step out it will make the rest of the journey a lot smoother. In the sense of you know what you are doing and how you are going to go about doing it.

So think long, hard and deep and really figure out what makes your happy. What it is that you think about and dream about all the time? Once you figure it out, you are already on your path to greatness and becoming the person you know you can be and having the life you always wanted.
