I’ve got a simple 5 step formula to achieve anything you want that works 100% of the time!
Step 1 – Decide What You Want This first step is simple, but often overlooked. Without it, the rest doesn’t matter. You must make a 100% committed decision about what you intend to do, have or become. Take time now and decide what you truly want to experience in your life. Now make an absolutely committed decision to make it happen, no matter what you have to do.
Step 2 – Identify Potential Obstacles This step is important to avoid possible pitfalls and get your goals quicker and easier. Now, there’s a difference between dwelling on your obstacles, and simply identifying them so you can create a better action plan. Remember, to take a look at any obstacles other people have faced who’ve traveled the path you’re on. Learning from others’ mistakes is true wisdom.
Step 3 – Erase The Obstacles Sometimes we can’t get rid of the obstacles completely, but we can identify ways to work around them. Whatever the obstacle, there are ways to go over, around or through it. Instead of using your challenges as a reason why you can’t do, have or become what you want, ask yourself better questions. By asking yourself, “How can I…?”, you’ll feed your unconscious mind a solvable problem. And since your mind is wired to solve problems, you’ll soon have several possible solutions to choose from. Keep in mind that most times, we can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created the problem in the first place. Since our own habits, beliefs and behavior that caused the mess we have now, we always will do better with someone helping us. The right coach can help you destroy all your obstacles.
Step 4 – Create the Right Action Plan! Now it’s time to design a map to follow. By doing research and networking, you’ll be able to find a recipe that’s virtually guaranteed to lead to what you want to experience. What’s imperative, though, is that your game plan has your name on it, meaning it’s NOT a one-size-fits-all approach. Experience shows that cookie cutter approaches only work well for the person it was created for. Your personalized game plan will take into account all of your attributes – beliefs, likes, dislikes, and environments.
Step 5 – Test and Tweak Get in motion! One of my coaches always says, “You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going.” Live by that. Don’t worry about the results – results are only feedback. If the feedback you receive is not what you want, change the recipe. The people who use this “test and tweak” strategy, will get what they want FASTER than those who are stuck in the ‘getting ready’ phase. Remember, too, we live in a microwave mentality world – we want results now. But any goal really worth having is not likely going to happen overnight.
Allow your success to take as long as it needs to take. You’re worth it!
