To illustrate just how incredibly bad copy can go when meaning is ignored, here are some astonishing examples from the world of advertising: Coors decided to use its slogan, “Turn it loose,” in Spanish advertisements. These are all extreme examples. Be willing to change your copy to meet a goal. I know, I know. Edmund Burke?

To use myself as an example, supporting a family is not high on my list of successes. Like money or happiness, success is not the goal. It’s the byproduct of other, far more worthy goals.

If you never work on improving your business, it’ll never be able to help you reach your goals. You have to reserve time to work on these goals if you want your business to keep getting bigger, better and more profitable. For example, set start dates and create tasks to complete. Even if you have bills to pay.

Having goals is vital, as is being willing to water it daily, to rotate it in the sun and cultivate it over the months and years. I like to think I’m a good example of that!)

It’s about keeping what you’re saying in sync with your mind, goals and attitude. If you can’t focus , move away from the road and let others reach their goals.
