For some it could be a goal that puts you to the test, an obstacle that says you can&#8217;t beat me, a belief system that is begging for a breakthrough, or even a mountain that just dares you to climb it.</p>
<p>Whatever it is, you’re attitude should be BRING IT ON, as there&#8217;s nothing quite like a good old fashioned challenge to see what you&#8217;re made, to push the boundaries and tests your limits as it is ONLY when we overcome these trials that we get to reap the sweetest rewards.</p>
<p>During the past few years, I have been working on what I believe to be the most comprehensive approach to goal setting and performance enhancement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote that “there are no second acts in American lives,” he was obviously incorrect and ignorant to the fact that human beings have an enormous capacity for overcoming adversity both personal and professional, with intelligence, patience, and panache. </p>
<p>Comebacks, redemption and second acts are ubiquitous in our culture today and so often it is a major setback — cancer, divorce, job loss, the death of a loved one, bankruptcy, or an accident — that puts the spotlight on our lives and shows us the way to a meaningful “second act.” </p>
<p><div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 170px"><a href="http://www.goalsguy.com/Affiliate/tgg.php?id=101_2_1_48"><img alt="Its Time to Raise the Bar" src="http://www.goalsguy.com/Affiliate/banners/sffs21-160x600.jpg" title="Its Time to Raise the Bar" width="160" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">It&#39;s Time to Raise the Bar</p></div>Yes, we all get knocked down, but successful people know how to pick themselves back up. So how do we do it? Here&#8217;s your playbook for success!</p>
<p><strong>Comeback Rule #1 &#8211; Refuse to Die</strong></p>
<p>Those with the character to triumph in the end tend not to allow the indignity of failure to force them down. A comeback accepts disaster, laughs in its face, and crawls to his feet again. </p>
<p><strong>Comeback Rule #2 &#8211; Decide to Fight</strong></p>
<p>Comebacks have an inner sense of justice that refuses to be violated. They manage their emotions, reminding themselves of where they’ve been and why they’re here, and resolve that nothing will stop them. </p>
<p><strong>Comeback Rule #3 &#8211; Get Mad</strong></p>
<p>Pain, failure, loss and embarrassment are such great motivators and you should allow adversity to force your hand to make new choices and take new actions. </p>
<p><strong>Comeback Rule #4 &#8211; Get Creative</strong></p>
<p>The savvy fighter won’t make the same mistake twice. He accepts the hard rules of the real world, analyzes how he wound up on his back, and charts a course around the problem. </p>
<p><strong>Comeback Rule #5 &#8211; Focus on Results</strong></p>
<p>Once you’re on your way, don’t look back and do not allow a previous faux pas slow you down. A hundred distractions, doubts, and setbacks will haunt someone recovering from disaster. The true champion rolls with the punches and keeps coming back for more.</p>
<p>The Chinese word for crisis is composed of two characters, one representing danger and the other opportunity. This reality is fascinating to me—that, in times of danger, great opportunities abound. </p>
<p>You must look at every obstacle, setback, rejection, and constraint as an opportunity to redeem yourself and in the <strong><a href="http://www.goalsguy.com/Affiliate/tgg.php?id=101_2" target="_blank">100 Day Challenge</a></strong>. I’ll show you how to turn your life around quickly!</p>
