I’m going to share with you how to achieve any goal you have in this quick post…
There are five parts that you need to be crystal clear on.
You should get a notebook and write these out as we go.
I’ll wait.
What do you want six months from now?
Do you want to have washboard abs? Do you want to be making $10,000 a month?
Whatever your goal is, write that down and be really clear on it. Don’t just write, “I want to be strong” or “I want to make more money”.
Be really specific.
For me, I wrote down that I want 35+ marketing agency clients and to do that I need to be able to get 60 appointments scheduled on autopilot each month. I need my sales rep to convert 20%, etc. Be super clear like that. Give exact numbers and deadlines.
Why do you want your goal?
This is the important part. If you don’t have that reason as to why you’re doing something, you’re going to end up just dropping off the bandwagon. That’s why so many people start the New Year and are “going to get in shape” and then two weeks later, nobody’s at the gym. That reasoning for doing something is so important because that’s what keeps you motivated throughout the process.
When you wake up in the morning and don’t feel like putting in the work if your WHY isn’t strong enough, you end up just not doing it. Whether it’s financial freedom, to see your family more often, or traveling, it has to be emotionally deep. No “I just want to make more money” reasoning. “I just want to get in better shape”. Too vague.
Go ahead and write down 10–15 reasons WHY you want to achieve your goal.
Who do you need to become?
Right now if you’re sleeping in late, and you want to make more money, you likely need to wake up earlier. If you feel like you want to get in shape, but don’t feel that you have enough time, wake up earlier. Whatever it is, write down who you need to become. Becoming an early riser certainly helps bring more productive time to your day. Maybe you need to become more self-disciplined. Or become a team builder or a leader.
Take a minute and figure out who you need to become to reach your goals.
What am I willing to give up?
What will you give up to get to your goal?
Maybe you need to give up hanging around toxic people or you need to give up your fast food. You just have to be crystal clear on what it is you’re willing to sacrifice.
What core values do you have?
The usuals include faith, family, and friends. Yours might be different. But write down three or four big values you have. Financial freedom, peace of mind, your health, etc.
When all of this comes together and is executed, there’s no way you don’t hit your goal because you’re very clear on what you want. There is ZERO ambiguity.
The “why” is the important part, it’s powerful and needs to be emotionally deep.
That is what will pull you out of bed and what will keep you up late at night. You will be successful depending on how deep your “why” is. Then you need to figure out who you need to become to get there and what you’re willing to give up to be a part of the elite achievers. Lastly, you need to know your core values because those are what will carry you all the way through till you reach that goal.
This is how you achieve anything.
Anybody can do anything if they put their mind to it.
It sounds cheesy, but you can do it if you want it bad enough.
Let me know if I could help in any way.
Have a great day and stay tuned!
You will be successful…depending on how deep your “why” is.
