How to achieve ANY goal in 5 Steps. This works whether you want to lose weight, triple your income, write a book or travel the World. Follow these 5 steps to make it happen! 1. Make sure it's what you really want. As the great Napoleon Hill says "Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything." There's a big difference between a wish for something or kind of wanting something... and a huge, burning desire for that thing... Or sometimes we say we want something but it's actually what we think we should want.. or it's what our parents want for us... or we aim too low because we're afraid to admit that we want something really big. So before you can achieve a big goal - you have to have a huge desire and be sure it's what you truly want. Step 2. Believe You Can Have It. This is actually one of the hardest parts and it's likely the reason that you don't already have that thing already. Self-Doubt stops you from even trying. If you don't believe you can have something that you want... or that you're worthy of success and happiness... then you won't even bother setting that thing as a specific goal and creating an action plan to work toward it. Maybe your goal is one of the following... I want to start a business. I want to triple my income. I want to run a marathon. I want to find my dream life partner. I want to be more confident. You need to get to a place where you can believe that this is something you can really have. Some ways that you can begin to do this now are: through the use of positive affirmations, by visualizing yourself having what you really desire until it feels real. Writing a list of 20 action steps you could take that would get you closer to that goal. Get inspired by someone who has already achieved what you want to achieve and have be your mentor... or if it's someone you don't know - maybe they have books you can read. Step 3. Take action every day. Don't fall into the trap of waiting until conditions are perfect to begin. Begin now. Do something every single day that brings closer to your desire. Write out your plan. Write out your schedule and how you're going to make time for this and prioritize it every single day. Step 4. Ignore the nay-sayers. This one comes from Grant Cardone, Author of the 10X Rule, a personal favorite of mine. There are people, many of them well meaning people who love you...that will try to prevent you from persueing your goals.. for reasons like: they don't want you to be disappointed if you fail, or to take a risk and waste time or lose money or make a mistake... so they will discourage you from persuing what you truly desire. Don't listen to them. Listen to your inner voice. we are all on our own journey... the advice people give you is from their own perspective, from their own life experiences and has little to do with the path that you are on. If you want to take advice, take it from someone who has succeeded at achieving what you want to achieve. This doesn't mean that you need to argue with or try to convince other people why you want to pursue what you want to pursue... but just don't let them stop you from achieving your goals. if you want to learn more about this, read Grant Cardone's books - he shares his personal experiences of how he persisted despite the people around him telling him to quit. Step 5. Keep going when things get tough. Be willing to do what it takes. Be resilient. Don't stop when you make a mistake. don't stop when you feel like stopping. Whether it's a weight loss goal, a financial goal, a goal to start a business in another country or writing a book... you will face situations that are new and challenging... but don't ever, ever, ever, let them stop you. Change your understanding of what a mistake is. It's doesn't make you a failure... a mistake is an opportunity to try again, and learn and grow and improve. Maybe you've been working hard at your goal for a long time and you're not seeing the results yet... just because you don't see them, it doesn't mean they aren't coming. I think of a seed that is planted.. you don't see everything that is happening below the dirt... but that tiny little seed is on it's way to becoming a massive tree. Positive, self-encouraging affirmations can help with as well. Do whatever it takes to keep yourself motivated and persist with your goal through it all. I wish you all the best with attaining success in that which matters most to you... and subscribe to my channel for more videos on creating your best life!
