Have you ever found yourself at home from work and try to recall the drive home that you just made,The Sky is the Limit When it Comes to Building Wealth Articles you can’t remember the details? Or maybe your spouse asks you what you did at work, and you can’t recall anything in particular that you did, although you know that you had a productive day? If this has ever happened to you, you’re not alone.

All too often, we switch our brains to ‘autopilot’ to deal with all of the mundane and routine tasks that we deal with day in and day out because they don’t require our full brain power or even our immediate attention. The routine tasks do not challenge us anymore.

The phenomenon of autopilot is all too common amongst entrepreneurs because in many cases, the business owner wears multiple hats and is so busy with the day to day running of the business and putting out fires that he/she ends up coasting through each day. And while the business may be running well, when you are on autopilot, you miss the little details that can take your business from average to excellent.

If you are like most entrepreneurs you have likely sat down at some point to make a business plan, set your goals and even outlined specifically what you are going to do in order to achieve those goals. But when was the last time you stopped to take the time and reevaluate and or revise those goals? Have you been so stuck on autopilot, that specific check points and goals have slid right by you unnoticed?

Don’t let yourself or your business remain on autopilot. Wake up again and shake up your daily routine to put your goals back at the forefront of your thoughts and your daily operations. Remember, your thoughts become your actions! Accountability is the key to achieving big goals. If you are accountable to someone besides yourself, you are more likely to strive everyday to achieve the goals that you have set for yourself and your company and at that point, there is no glass ceiling on the wealth you can achieve!

For some, they may need a little extra help being held accountable. And that is when a mentor or a coach can be invaluable. As an external, third party, a mentor or a coach will work with you in setting goals and give you the specific steps you need to take to achieve those goals, forcing you to turn off the autopilot mode and achieve those goals. Once you get out of autopilot mode, you can switch into high gear and suddenly the sky is the limit to building wealth!
