Step Seven (this is the final step and it’s very important) Don’t Get Discouraged.

A wise man once said, "There’s no such thing as failure, there’s only results." So you will either achieve your goal and the results you want or you will gain insight into whatever it is in the way of its achievement. So it’s very simple... Failure is not a setback. Rather it is a part of your forward progress.

Stay focused on what you want to achieve and you will find ways to solve difficulties or breakthrough barriers. If you follow these seven steps for achieving your goals, you will exponentially increase the trajectory at which you are able to accomplish anything.

I would love to hear your goals

Appreciate you my friend! 

Step Six, Review Your Goals Daily.

This is a very important aspect of achieving success and must become a routine. Review your lists of goals each morning when you wake up, visualize your completed goals and how your life looks and feels as a result. Each night before you go to bed, repeat the process. The more you do it, the better.

This is a great way to train your brain to expect your goals to materials.  As my friend, John Assaraf talks about the power of vision boards. I would highly recommend you create a vision board for yourself. And all the vision board boils down to is pictures or material objects or goals you want to achieve. Put them up on your wall and these are some things that you want to manifest into your life.

Take time at the end of each day to plan for tomorrow. You will begin taking more action towards living the life you love. 

Reviewing your goals daily in my opinion is the difference between having an okay life and a great life!

One simple tip that has helped me is to write down my daily goal on a 3x5 notecard and keep it in my pocket with my phone. That way whenever I reach for my phone I feel the card and remember my daily goal. Reviewing it multiple times a day helps make it become a routine in your brain.

Appreciate you my friend. 

Step Five, Make Your Goals Consistent With Your Values.

"The secret to getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming risks into small manageable tasks and then starting on the first one." 

Success is a science and there are simple steps to Just STRT living the life you love, because success leaves clues. 

First you must know what you would love.

Values are such a huge part of where I am now today. I get so passionate about them and love helping people determine what their actual values are vs their idealistic values. 

Most people don’t do what they value first and therefore find themselves stressed and out of alignment. Create your list of highest values and then create your goals around them. This will give you a sense of fulfillment and purpose consistently.

One of the things I teach my private clients is something called VGBS which stands for Value-Based-Goal-Setting. And it’s all about aligning your highest values with your goals because when your goals are congruent with your highest values, you stay in alignment with your highest self and your purpose.

Now, this part is absolutely crucial. Every goal must have two things. One, a detailed plan to achieve it and two, the right beliefs and mindset to keep you motivated and on track. You can kiss your goals goodbye without these two items. So what do you have to believe and what can you start to do immediately to move you towards your goals and dreams?

"Once your mind maps out the path, your mind clears out the path." - Dr. John Demartini

Step Four, Write Out Your Goals In Detail and Get Absolute Clarity.

Just the act of writing down your goals sets the process in motion. So be as specific as possible. Instead of writing, say, a new home as a goal, instead write down, “I would like a 10,000-square foot mansion on the beach with vaulted ceilings, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool, a Jacuzzi, overlooking the ocean, a private dock boat.” The more detail you can have, the better.

By being as accurate as possible, you invoke some of the natural laws of the universe in your favor as well as getting your brain to work for you in the most efficient way possible.

"If you do not provide the details, others will provide them for you. And is that the life that you would love to live?" 

Take some time to write out in detail why, how, and what it is you want and the universe will move out of the way, like water breaking around a rock, to align and bring you what is best. Write in as much detail as possible about your goals of what you want that are in alignment with your purpose. 

The clearer you life mission the more you will live and fulfill it. 

Whatever you do, do not settle. Settling is the most selfish thing that you could do in your life. Selfish for you and for those around you. 

Take care my friend. 

Step Three, Aim High and Raise Your Standards.

As a now cliché saying goes, “Shoot for the stars, if you miss you’ll still be on the moon.” So the secret is to get out of your comfort zone. Make your goals slightly unreasonable.

In other words, don’t allow your perceived limitations to get in the way or hold you back. Don’t allow your conditioning or the people you hang out with to stop you from going after what you really want in life.

When you raise your standards for what you will accept in life, you start to raise the bar on the goals you go after. Successful people have higher standards than unsuccessful people. It’s that simple.

"When you choose to write down compelling goals, you are simultaneously choosing a compelling future. Exciting goals foreshadow an exciting future." - Tommy Newberry 

You will never rise to the level of your expectations or dreams, you will fall to the level of your preparation and systems you have in place. 

So therefore, do not be like the 94% of people who never write out clear goals and get no where in their life. You are here because you are a go getter and there is one thing about you that is for certain, you are willing to do what it takes to begin living your best life. 

Take care my friend. 

Step Two, Balance Your Goals To Balance Your Life.

It’s really simple. Develop goals in seven areas of your life for more fulfillment and to Just Strt Living 

By pursuing goals in each area, you will create a more balanced life and integrated life as well, which is crucial to sustaining long-term health, wealth and fulfillment.

The first step in empowering each of these areas is education. Success leaves clues and those individuals, as well as those nations that have risen in power, need to follow these clues. Awakening to and owning these traits and, developing and furthering these traits, and awakening these traits in each of the seven areas of life can both empower individuals and nations.

Focus your energy on the areas you want to get better. 

Like spokes on a wheel put these seven areas along the outside and rank your own goals on them from 1-10 and see the shape of your wheel. In order to create a more integrated and balanced life you love let the numbers guide you on where to put more attention. 

Take care my friend. 

Step One, Why Must You Achieve Your Goal?

The only reason we do anything in life is to change how we feel. Think about it for a second. Why do you want to go on that fancy vacation that you’ve been saving for? Because it’s going to allow you to relax. And why do you want to relax? Because it’s going to make you feel a certain way. And this feeling is something that you’re after.

Otherwise you wouldn’t save up to go into vacation. So you’re not really saving up for the vacation. You’re saving up to get that feeling you so badly desire. And why do you want to make more money? Most people do because they say it will give them the freedom to do what they want, when they want and allow them to contribute more.

But how will that make you feel having freedom? It will probably make you feel pretty damn good knowing you can do what you want, when you want because you have the financial security to support yourself and those you care about.

Now, we can go on and on with different examples of this. But if the only reason we ever do anything is to change the way we feel then it’s no wonder why the most important aspect to achieving any goal is to gain absolute clarity on the emotional reasons why you must achieve your goals.

Tip: 

What are your 100 reasons that you must achieve your goal? 

Write them down, take some time to think about it, and get emotionally invested in your dreams!

Your future is what you make of it. Do not let anyone steal your dreams, you must protect them and fight for them. 

So that when you are alone, tired, beaten down, and feel like quitting you will get up reach into that bag of whys, the cookie jar and give yourself the motivation the inspiration and the drive to keep going. 

Take care my friends.
