Successful people are where they are today as a result of their habits, and Atlanta based marketing firm Front Page Agency believes that habits determines 95% of actual behaviour.
Developing the good habits required to achieve epic results takes a lot of effort. Indeed, Front Page Agency, President, Aton Williams, argues that you can’t be truly great at anything unless you put in an incredible amount of focused effort. Scratch the surface of any person with great or rare skills and they’ll have worked thousands of hours to put in the effort required to develop those skills. All highly successful people also manage to align their goals to the their vision, and they know exactly what they want, have written plans to accomplish it, and review and work according to these plans every single day.
Front Page Agency understands the importance of developing good habits in entrepreneurship, and the firm runs a Programme that is aimed at developing aspiring entrepreneurs. The programme consists of training workshops and developing good habits that aim to develop both entrepreneurial and personal skills including sales techniques, leadership skills, decision making, choosing the right people to work with, public speaking, financing and much more. This program is designed to grow candidates and progress them quickly through the company from sales rep to leadership, with the potential to start their own business.
With this in mind, the firm has revealed their 4-step guide towards achieving epic results:
1) Craft your vision and goals
Front Page Agency believes it is a necessary requirement to develop into a habitual goal setter, committing to clear, written goals every working day. 21st century humans appear to be trained into taking the easiest option, the road more travelled – train the brain into acknowledging that set goals and a vision is the only option, and that’s the path that will be chosen instead.
2) Write down ‘why’
After writing out your vision in meticulous detail, Front Page Agency stress the importance of writing down the various reasons why it’s necessary to accomplish the vision. If it’s not powerful enough, then it won’t be followed through, and will be placed on the scrapheap alongside the failed and forgotten New Year’s resolutions. There will be long hours, there will be challenges, and there will be failure – and this is why Front Page Agency believe the ‘why’ of the vision needs to be powerful, in order to see it through to its realisation.
3) Write down a timeline
Front Page Agency argue that a goal without a timeline is just a dream. Indeed, there are several reasons that seemingly thoughtfully crafted timelines often end up being totally out of sync with reality. Aligning goals to a realistic and effective schedule requires forecasting talent needs, transparency, monitoring business trends, and of course tracking all of the progress made thus far. Ask questions like, “What are the minimum things I must get done within those time periods to guarantee I’m getting closer to my vision and success?” Writing a well thought out timeline provides an outline of exactly what needs to happen in order to become successful.
4) Refresh your motivation, and stay disciplined
Staying disciplined is a habit that guarantees realisation of all the others, and the ability to master and control yourself is the single most important quality that will develop a person. The habit of self-discipline goes hand in glove with success in every aspect of life, and will come in handy when motivation gets drained. Front Page Agency believes that it is inevitable that vision will be lost sight of at some point, and state that it’s critical to renew motivation by reviewing the vision and the ‘why’s daily. If the vision is not reviewed regularly, then the firm believes goals will crumble, the plan will fall off the rails, and key momentum will be lost – often bringing the culprits back to where they started.
