If you are going to achieve your goals and dreams, you must have a strong desire for success. To accomplish something you’ve not done before will be extremely hard. It requires you to change behaviors and to grow beyond where you are today. If you are going to stick it out through the hard times, the challenges, and the failures that happen along the way, your desire to succeed must be great. When it comes to achieving the things you want the most, how bad you want it will be a huge difference maker. It is vital that your desire for success is greater than any fears or obstacles you will face.

I’ve Decided: Host Kim Martin & Guest Laurie Kaplan - Sustainable
Tuesday Jan 10, 2023
Tuesday Jan 10, 2023
One of the biggest reasons most of us give up on our New Year resolutions is we don’t have a sustainable plan to achieve them. The excitement of the New Year motivates us for change, but then we go too hard and fast making it virtually impossible to maintain. The key to improving your odds of achieving the things you desire in 2023 is to make an action plan with manageable goals that are easier to sustain.

Our I’ve Decided Community is built on an absolute mission for your success. As a member of our organization, you are surrounded by like-minded people who desire to tap into their fullest potential, achieve their goals and dreams, and live a fulfilled life! The question is, are you on this same absolute mission? Are you all in on achieving your dreams, no matter how big? As we enter into the week of Christmas, we must ponder the best example known to us in all of history of a mission fulfilled. This example is the birth of Jesus Christ, the reason we celebrate. He was born with an absolute mission to save the world, and He fulfilled this mission. He was all in on success! It is not by chance that our success community is called I’ve Decided. If you intend to accomplish the things you desire and have the life you truly want, there is no room for being lukewarm. You’re either going to do it, or you’re not. There will never be anyone who gets where they want to go with a half-hearted mindset. Last week our word was review and this week it’s absolute. There are 2 weeks left in the year. As you continue to review your progress, where you are, and where you want to be, you have to DECIDE. Do you have an absolute sense of mission or not? If so, then you are in the right place because we have ONE absolute mission, and that is YOUR SUCCESS!

I’ve Decided: Host Andy Thornton & guest Ben Watt - Make it a habit!

Saturday Dec 17, 2022
Listen in as the host Andy Thornton, CEO of Greater Peoria Family YMCA talks with Ben Watt, Family Pastor at Eastside Bible Church about this weeks, weekly winning word, review!
It’s time to review our results and see where we are in accomplishing the things we desire. Oftentimes, we have a hard time seeing our own achievements and we devalue the small steps we’ve made in the right direction. The other thing that’s hard is accepting the change that needs to be made when something isn’t working well. Lastly, we don’t want to face the music that what we said we were going to do a year ago simply didn’t happen. This can make it very challenging to review our progress as often as we should. On the other hand, when you’re rocking it and you’re making huge strides towards your goals and dreams, it’s important to see that too. There is nothing more inspiring or motivating than personal success. For all of these reasons and more, it’s critical that you make a habit to review your progress as often as possible.

Monday Nov 14, 2022
We believe that to be our best selves, we need the help of many! People have been collaborating since the beginning of time and our human history proves that those who participate are more successful. Together truly is better! When we collaborate, it exposes us to different perspectives, new ideas, more resources, and that works both ways. Collaboration makes a hard job easier and you will get further faster. Just like the quote above says, “it multiplies your success!” How often are you collaborating? If you’re trying to do everything alone, we want to encourage you to rethink your plan and figure out a way to include others in your goals and dreams.

Listen in as the host Andy Thornton, CEO of Greater Peoria Family YMCA talks with Art Georges, Pastor of Living Hope Community Church in Bartonville Illinois about this weeks, weekly winning word, meaningful!
Meaningful work can be a platform that allows you to live out your purpose and achieve the goals and dreams you desire. The great news is, you don’t have to leave your current position, make a hasty move, or start all over to feel like you’re making a difference or being useful. You can start right where you are today. For example, if you know you have a purpose in encouraging others and sharing your story, figure out a way to do it right where you are. With today’s environment, most companies are open to helping their employees feel more empowered to live a more fulfilled and meaningful life. All you need to do is ask or make your case. The fact is, you are more likely to thrive and grow when you believe your work is meaningful to you.
