Top Ten Ways to Create Your Own Destiny
As a professional speaker, I have presented at more than 1,500 speaking engagements
throughout North America and Asia. The question I am most frequently asked by my
audiences is, “How do you actually go about creating your own destiny?”
My answer is simply that if you will dream, plan, and execute, you will ultimately soar in life.
Easier said than done, I know. As a result, I have written this special report to provide you with
more details on the personal mantra that has guided me in the pursuit of my destiny. I
hope this top ten list will guide you to do the same.
10. Lead and Leverage Your Network
Share your goals with other like-minded individuals in your network. You never know
who can help you to achieve your dreams. W. Clement Stone said, “If you want
something bad enough, tell enough others what it is that you want and sooner or later
someone or something will show up in your life and help you get it.”
9. Focus on Your Health and Nutrition
Wealth without health is not worth its weight in gold. If you are truly to achieve your
destiny, you need to focus as equally on your health goals as your wealth goals. Howard
Howell said, “You must either diet or die.”
8. Become an Entrepreneur (The Employer, Not the Employee)
Sooner or later, all jobs come to an end. Therefore, keep your day job while you
simultaneously build your business. Your day job becomes the seed money to support
your business. When you are employed working for “the Man,” you help someone else
to create his or her destiny, not yours. The only way to earn your true worth is by
becoming an entrepreneur.
7. Execute Your Plan Daily
Your actions equal your results, so the best way to pursue your destiny is to do
something every single day for the rest of your life to pursue your goals. John Addison
said, “I will do today what others won’t so I will have tomorrow what others don’t.”
6. Overcome Your Fears
Only two things in life can hold you back from your destiny: your fears and your selflimiting
beliefs. David Joseph Schwartz said, “Do what you fear and your fears will
disappear,” and the Reverend Dick Gregory said, “Fear and God do not occupy the same
space.”
5. Build Real Wealth Through Self-Education
There is a huge difference between “book smarts” and “street smarts.” Getting a college
education is extremely important, but your education should not stop after college. Jim
Rohn said, “Formal education will earn you a living, but self-education will earn you a
fortune!”
4. Put Family Ahead of Work
Your family is more important than the world. Family is the only stabilizing force that
helps you to navigate through uncertain financial times. No one ever found himself on his
deathbed wishing he had spent more time at the office away from his family.
3. Set Huge Goals
What are your most audacious, boldest goals in life? Whether you realize it or not, you
have the ability to choose your destiny based on the decisions you make and the actions
you take. We all have the ability to pre-determine our destination in advance simply by
scripting our lives in the form of writing down our goals for how we desire our lives to be.
2. Visualize Your Dreams
Only those who can see the invisible can achieve the impossible. Belief in your vision is
the key to creating your own destiny. Larry Olsen said, “First we must taste our vision,
touch our vision, feel our vision, emotionalize our vision, and finally own our vision.”
Once we learn to own our vision, the “how” of making it happen slowly presents itself.
1. Transform Your Passions into Your Career
Write out a list of your top five passions in life. What do you most like to do during your
evenings, weekends, and vacations? Study this list to determine which one passion solves
a need in the marketplace. Then transform that specific passion into your own business
and you will have discovered the key to creating your own destiny. Marsha Sinetar said,
“Do what you love and the money will follow.”
If you are serious about making lasting change in your life and achieving your destiny, I
highly encourage you not only to apply these ten suggestions to your life, but also to
pick up a copy of Creating Your Own Destiny (Wiley, 2010) because it is full of
strategies, techniques, and ideas that are proven to assist you on your journey to taking
complete control of your life.
