Many people live a habitual life: always taking the same route to work or to the shops, getting dressed in the same order or going to the same resort for their holidays year after year.

What about the other habits, those that make up who some people are: always a cigarette with a cup of coffee, too shy to attend social events, not courageous enough to ask a person on a date.

A mother, who worked as an executive in the financial district of London, said: “I want to be confident enough to make something more out of my life. Yet I have a habit of running away from opportunities that I know would really benefit me. Can I change this habit?”

We create our habits because we are creatures of habit. And we can change our habits to better our life.

Following a number of sessions with an executive coach, the mother began to see a number of small opportunities; these were her own, they were her ideas that she was happy to incorporate, and as time went by, she used these to build her confidence.

The small opportunities became small successes and she built on the confidence gained from these to start exploring and taking on board larger and more challenging ones. In this way, she naturally integrated new habits into her way of life.

Get into the routine of changing your old habits by making one small change every day, large or small. The possibility for change is always there, every moment of every day.

Create and practise habits that support how you want to be, and notice how new doors of opportunities begin to open.

If there is a habit that is not allowing you to make an improvement in your life, what would that habit be?

Success, in all its shapes and forms, and in any way that you describe it to be, is not achieved by accident. It takes commitment, motivation and persistence.

And more importantly, the journey begins the moment you make the decision to be successful, and then by making the right choices that are congruent with that decision.

An executive in a thriving cosmetic company had often thought of resigning as she felt she didn’t have the qualifications to progress any further, and, as a single, working mother, she couldn’t find the time to improve on her credentials.

By the end of the second session, this lady had made a decision that would advance her career. By deciding to reach higher, she made the decision to invest in herself, to learn more so she can offer more.

To do that, she chose to commit at least one hour every night to study, rather than watch television, once the children were asleep.

If you were to make one decision today that would have a positive impact on your life, what would that be?

To live a life of luxury or to have a successful business seems to be many people’s dream. Although some people invest in their time to chase after their dreams and aspirations, others wait in vain in the hope that someday the dream will find its way to them.

What many of those who anxiously stand by the sidelines, watching successes and opportunities pass them by, do not realise is that they themselves already possess within them a great resource, a gift or talent, that when expanded on, has the potential to take them down the path to fulfilling their dreams.

If you are now to search deep within to find your gift or talent, or something that you enjoy, that you can expand on, what would it be?

“Where do you see yourself in five years time?” This is a common interview question. Yet many of us do not give it a second or more serious thought in our daily lives. It is, in fact, a very powerful, perhaps life-changing, question.

I once stretched that question even further with one of my new clients: “Where do you see yourself in five years time if your life was perfect in every way? If you had all the resources available to you, what would your life be like in five years?”

This tall, well-groomed executive sank deeper into his chair and stared blankly at the wall ahead of him. He admitted that he had never planned anything in his life. Opportunities seem to knock on his door and only then would he make the most of them. He wasn’t one to plan ahead, at least not until now; the night of his fiftieth birthday.

After a lot of deliberation and bouncing off ideas, we came to the realisation that all he wanted was to feel like a new person and to live each day with joy and energy. That on his fifty-fifth birthday he would feel more rejuvenated and very energetic.

I felt that this was a good start, yet he could want more, much more, if he really thought about it, if he had all the necessary resources. We decided to start slow and establish quarterly goals. And with every goal that he would reach, we would expand and set new more challenging ones.

In this way we would gradually build on his wanting to improve on his level of fitness and health, and we could, in time, discover more ‘wants’ along the way as we focus on creating his ideal life.

If you were to imagine you had all the resources you need to create your perfect life, what would that perfect life look like in five years time? How would you see it?

No matter what your goal is, with the power of motivation you will always find a way to achieve your goal. When you set your sights on a goal, it’s as good as done. With motivation, you will find a way to succeed, no matter what.

It is imperative that you spend the necessary time to identify what it is that motivates you, that makes you purpose-driven to overcome setbacks and challenges so as to achieve your goals.

Once you identify, accept and utilise your motivation blueprint, you can move ahead and enjoy much greater success in your life.

Jackie made it a task to spend at least one hour a day, for the next fortnight, to solely focus on activities that inspire and motivate her to take productive action anytime and anywhere in the direction of her goals.

She was to start a journal where she would log her level of motivation on each activity on a level of one to ten – where one indicated low motivation and ten the highest.

At the end of the fortnight, we discovered that her motivation blueprint was her deep desire to live the phrase, “If I can dream it, I can do it.”

Her greatest motivator is: I Live the Dream, my Dream, my Way.

What motivates or fires you, to accomplish your daily goals to turn your dreams into reality?
