Are you struggling to hit your biggest goals in life right now?

Goals give you a sense of direction. When you convert your desires into achievable goals and then act on them, you are setting yourself up for massive success.

Setting goals is easy, but taking action to achieve them can be difficult.

We've all been there. We set a goal that we are super excited about, start getting traction, and then lose momentum.

When you have the desire to accomplish something big, how you go about doing it makes all the difference.

Big goals mean big rewards.

However, if you don’t know how to set goals, those rewards may never come to fruition. I want you to take a moment and think about a big goal that you want to achieve. Maybe that's achieving financial freedom, finding a life partner, buying a house, or paying off your school debt.

While all goals aim to bring about a positive outcome, you must understand that not all goals are the same. There are two types of goals – results-oriented goals and process-oriented goals.

Results-oriented goals are focused on a specific result, like losing 30 pounds. Results are great because they provide proof as to whether or not you're going in the right direction.

However, if you focus solely on results you can set yourself up for failure. Think about it… if you're not getting the results you desire, it's easy to start feeling defeated. This is why people end up giving up on their goals altogether.

You also need to know the specific steps to take in order to achieve the results that you desire. These are known as process-oriented goals. I hate to break it to you, but you don't have full control over results. You only have influence at best. What leads to the results is the process. 

The question is, which are better? Well, I believe that you need both. At the end of the day, the key to lasting success is through consistent and focused effort.

The Power of Sharing Your Goals

When it comes to achieving your goals, if you're only accountable to yourself, it's easy to not follow through. There are no consequences. This is why I publically shared my goals every year for six years. In doing so, I was motivated to accomplish every goal that I set for myself.

If I didn't follow through, I knew that I would lose respect and credibility. Research shows that having an accountability partner with whom you share your goals increases your chances of success by more than 85 percent.

When someone is holding you accountable for your actions, you are less likely to back out because you don't want to disappoint them. Share your big goals with a friend, join a Mastermind group, or hire a coach. Anything that will allow you to stay on track is key. 

Change Is A Matter of Motivation

There is no limit to what you are capable of achieving. If you want to change your life, you can do it. Nobody is stopping you. The question is… how motivated are you to change? As Tony Robbins says, “Change is never a matter of ability, it’s always a matter of motivation.”

Lasting change begins and ends with a commitment to change your attitude and raise your standards. The changes that you want to make in your life can no longer be “shoulds.” Rather, they need to become “musts.” 

Make 2021 the year that you achieve your biggest goals!

In a world where we are conditioned to stay safe and avoid risk, setting big goals is a power move. Anything is possible. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Stay focused and devote yourself tirelessly to the achievement of your goals.

If you need to slow down, that's OK, but whatever you do, don't give up.

Are you ready to learn about the goal setting formula that has allowed me to achieve my goals and take my life to the next level?

Every successful person has one thing in common – they all set goals and work extremely hard to make them a reality. However, in order to accomplish your goals, you need to know how to set them and have a goal setting strategy for doing so.

When it comes to setting goals, you want them to stretch you, without making you feel anxious. This is your sweet spot, or the optimal mental state of being in “the zone.”

Research on stretch goals shows that they can produce amazing results if people can imagine the possibility of accomplishing them.

Many people search their whole lives to find their goal setting sweet spot. Are you ready to find yours? In the words of Earl Nightingale, “People with goal succeed because they know where they are going.”

A lot of people ask me whether their goals should be unrealistic or realistic. When it comes to this debate, there are many different schools of thought.

I have applied both type of goals in my own life and I have found a goal setting formula that works best for me, which I want to share with you.

When it comes to goal setting, I believe that you need to set both unrealistic and realistic goals.

Realistic goals are those that you know you can achieve. On the flip side, unrealistic goals are the ones that you dream about. They are long-term in their scope and connected to your larger vision.

Unfortunately, I see a lot of people set unrealistic goals in a short-time frame, like wanting to lose 30 pounds in 10 days or making $1 million in less than one year. If this is your mindset, you are setting yourself up for failure.

When you feel like a failure, it causes pain, which results in you not wanting to set more goals in the future.

You should never be in a situation where you are not achieving your goals. That is telling me that you are doing something wrong, either with your process or if the goal that you set for yourself is too unrealistic.

If you keep coming up short with your goals, that’s your way of telling your brain, ”I’ve failed so many times, what is the point of even setting goals?” I believe that this is detrimental to your success because it leads to self-sabotage and learned helplessness.

When I set goals for myself, they are goals that I know and believe that i can achieve. In fact, most of my goals are inevitable, because I’m already making progressing in crushing them.

I want to share with you my goal setting formula that has allowed me to achieve so much success in life. I learned this process along time ago when I was studying the Law of Attraction.

With every goal that you set for yourself, there has to be a formula for it. I want you to take out one of your goals and assess it, using this goal setting formula:

Desire

When you build a strong desire to achieve your goals, you generate momentum to take massive action.

Whatever goal you set, on a scale from 1-10, you want your level of desire to be a 7 or above. If it’s less than a 7, than you need a new goal.

Belief

Belief is what inspires people to keep moving forward towards the achievement of their goals.

You need to believe that you can achieve your goal. It also has to be a 7 or above. For example, you may have a desire to make $1,000,000 a year, but if you have never made $50,000 a year your level of belief may be a 1 or 2. If it’s that low, this is not a good goal. You need to find your sweet spot.

If you take a look at my monthly goals reports, I achieve about 80-90% of the goals that I set for myself. Do your goals hit this sweet spot?

I don't set unrealistic goals that are beyond what I think I believe that I can achieve. I’m not taking big leaps. Rather, I’m focusing on making progress, month after month, and year after year. This is the goal setting formula that works for me.

Don’t buy into the get rich quick, unrealistic goal way of thinking that is obsessed with immediate results and instant gratification. Rather, when it comes to achieving your goals, strive to be consistent and always have a forward-thinking mindset. I believe that being slow and steady always wins the race.

In the words of Confucius, “It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.” Take small steps every day towards achieving your goals, and don’t forget to celebrate yourself along the way. Doing so will give you more confidence and motivation to keep growing and setting bigger goals in the future.

I challenge you to take one of your goals and apply this goal setting formula. Today is the day to start setting goals for creating an extraordinary life. Are you ready?

Do you want to learn my goal setting strategy for success? Setting goals is an important part of our everyday lives. At the end of the day, it is the only way that we get anything done.

The research is clear. People who set goals are more successful. However, if you don’t know how to set goals properly, it can have the opposite effect.

Unfortunately, a lot of people never achieve their goals. When they don’t see any progress, they get discouraged and give up. Sure enough, they feel like a failure for doing so which diminishes their desire to set any new goals in the future.

It all comes down to learning how to set goals properly, and I’m here to show you how. In the words of Tom Landry, “Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and sticking with that plan.”

Before you can start setting goals, you need to understand the types of goals that exist. I believe that there are two types of goals:

Results-Oriented

It is important that you have goals that are focused towards a specific result, because ultimately a result is what you are after. However, I believe that focusing solely on the end result is a big mistake. In order to achieve the results that you desire, you need to pay attention to the process of getting there.

Process-Oriented

Process oriented-goals are little milestones that serve as signs of progress that you are on the right path. How do you expect to reach your destination if you don’t have a roadmap for getting there?

The reality is that you don’t have 100% control over whether or not you will achieve the result that you are after. You have influence, at best. All that you have control over is the process.

If you take a look at my 2017 monthly goals report you will see that I have results-oriented and process-oriented goals. The results goal that I set for myself in 2017 is to make $2 million in revenue in my business.

Keep in mind that I don't have 100% control over that result, but I do have control over the actions that I can take that will lead me to that end goal.

For example, some of my process-oriented goals for achieving my results-oriented goal were as follows:

Launch my Life Mastery Accelerator program

Launch my Online Business Mastery Accelerator program

Create my new PLM website

If you want to achieve true, lasting success in life, you need to focus on and enjoy the process. This is my goal setting strategy for success.

Whatever result that you have for yourself, you need to break it down into smaller chunks and celebrate your wins along the way. Oftentimes people are making progress, but they aren’t aware of it because they don’t take the time to enjoy the process.

Research supports this intuition, showing that people need to feel like they are making meaningful progress in their work. Celebrating wins is one way of doing so.

Every time that you achieve a process-oriented goal, celebrate yourself! When you do, you will be more likely to continue to make progress towards achieving the result that you desire.

When you shift your perspective and master the process, you improve yourself and move closer towards becoming the person that you desire to be.

In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” Learn to enjoy the process and the person that you become on the road to crushing your goals.

Do you want to know 3 reasons why you need a business plan? A business plan is your blueprint for business success. Starting a business without one is like building a house with no materials. It just doesn't work.

Unfortunately a lot of entrepreneurs shy away from writing a business plan because the idea of planning so far in advance creates anxiety, but it doesn't have to.

Studies have shown that while completing a business plan is not a guarantee of success, it does indicate that the type of entrepreneur who completes one is also more likely to run a successful business.

In the words of Alan Leiken, “Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.” 

Do you want to learn how to create a compelling business plan? CLICK HERE to join my Online Business Mastery Accelerator program!

Here are 3 reasons why you need a business plan.

1. Helps You Create A Sense of Clarity

The purpose of a business plan is to create a sense of clarity with regards to the long-term objectives of your business.

When we are unclear about the vision, purpose, and goals of our business, we are left floundering. You can't expect to achieve success if you don't have a plan for getting there.

Do you get in your car without knowing where it is that you are going? Probably not.

Think of a business plan as if it were a roadmap for your success. It helps you analyze and determine how you will set your business up, where you are going, and how long it will take to get there.

2. Helps You Manage Your Cashflow

The ability to manage cashflow is one of the most important components of entrepreneurial success. Without cash, your business won't survive. Philip Campbell, the author of Never Run Out of Cash, says that, “Poor cashflow management is causing more business failures today than ever before.”

Having a business plan will help you better manage your costs, sales, and business expenses. Not only that, but it will allow you to make financial projections for the future of your business.

3. Helps You Map Your Future Success

A good business plan helps entrepreneurs create a roadmap for achieving their goals. Without a solid plan, how do you expect to get to where you want to go?

Putting your long-term vision on paper allows you to better understand your business and the specific courses of action that you need to take.

This is a great opportunity to ask yourself the important questions that need answering, early on, so that you can create the momentum that you need now and into the future.

As Jeff Hoffman, co-author of, SCALE: 7 Proven Principles to Grow Your Business and Get Your Life Back, likes to say, “Your business plan is more about the questions you ask and get yourself to struggle with, than it is about finding the ‘right’ answer.” 

These are 3 reasons why you need a business plan. Every entrepreneur needs one. If you haven't written one already, I encourage you to do so. It is the first real step on your journey to long-term business success.

I want to share with you why you will fail (and what to do about it). Have you ever wondered why you aren't achieving your goals? It all comes down to your mindset.

In my opinion, there has been too much focus on teaching people how to set goals, and less attention on how to actually achieve them. Don't get me wrong. Setting goals is important, but a goal means nothing unless you actualize it.

When it comes to achieving their goals, unfortunately a lot of people end up hitting a roadblock, and their motivation comes to a standstill. This is referred to as a plateau. 

At this point, it’s common for people to give up. This is why you will fail (and what to do about it). Are you ready to learn how you can commit to mastery and achieve the goals that you desire?

Oftentimes, when people encounter a plateau, they start to dabble, which starts a negative cycle of procrastination, discouragement, excuses, and laziness. This is why you will fail.

Eventually, this process is repeated and the cycle continues. I call this process the pyramid of pain, because that’s exactly what it creates. People stop believing in themselves because of the pain associated with their failures.

There is only one reason why you haven’t achieved your goals in life. You stopped – believing, trying, growing, learning, and taking action.

The difference between someone that is successful versus everyone else is that when things get tough, they don't stop. What do you do when you hit a plateau?

Everyone hits plateaus on the road to achieving their goals. It’s called life. However, the good news is that there are things that you can do in order to get past them quickly. Commitment is essential for achieving any goal in life, and the only way to achieve your goals is to commit to mastery.

Rather than seeing their goals through, a dabbler jumps from one thing to next, because they struggle with the shiny object syndrome. As a result, they never master anything in life. This is why you will fail! But committing to mastery is what you can do about it. 

You don’t master something by reinventing the wheel. Rather, you learn and model the behavior of someone else who has achieved the same result that you are after. This is the best way to accelerate the process of achieving your goals.

The dabbler tends to give up when things get tough, because they don’t have access to resources that will allow them to break through the plateaus that are holding them back.

Alternatively, the master looks for a mentor or coach who can help them anticipate the plateaus that are going to occur so that they can take the necessary steps in order to avoid them.

Sure, you will still hit plateaus, but when you do, it won’t set you back to the beginning, because you will have someone there, helping to put you back on track.

Don’t be a dabbler. Commit to mastery. Be resourceful, learn from the best, and do something every day that moves you closer to what you want to achieve in life. Don’t let anything or anyone hold you back.

In the words of Napoleon Bonaparte, “Victory belongs to the most persevering.” Once you start moving towards your goal, don’t stop. It could mean the difference between success or failure.

I would like to share with you 4 ways to build a motivation mindset. Motivation is the driving force that inspires people to take action in life. Think about a time when you felt really motivated to achieve a goal. How did it feel? How did that feeling fuel your desire to achieve it?

When it comes to making big changes in life, your desire must overrule your fear. It all comes down to your mindset. Simply expressing that you want to achieve a goal isn’t enough. Internal motivation is only one piece of the puzzle. You need to actually put in the effort, which requires mental strength.

Achieving anything of value requires hard work, perseverance, commitment, and energy. You can expect to experience setbacks and failures along your path to success. That is a normal part of life and an integral aspect of the learning process.

In the words of Joe DiMaggio, “Motivation is something that nobody else can give you…it must come from inside you, and you must possess a constant desire to do your very best at all times and under any circumstance.”

Let’s explore 4 ways to build a motivation mindset:

1. Know Your Strengths

When you have an awareness of your strengths, it helps you make smarter choices in life because it equips you with the right resources and tools that will contribute to your success. When it comes to your goals, having knowledge of your strengths gives you the confidence and motivation to take action so that you can take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.

2. Find the “Why” Behind Your Goals

Before you set out to achieve your goals, you need an empowering “why”. Dig deep and ask yourself, “Why do I want to achieve this goal?” More importantly, what will be the consequence or pain that you will experience if you do not achieve this goal?”

In the process of constructing your dream life, the important thing to be aware of is not the goals you set, but rather what motivates you towards those goals. Are you chasing what it is that you really want in life? In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

3. Enjoy the Process

Are you truly enjoying your life or do you find that you are constantly stressed out about everything? So many people are focused on the destination alone that they forget to enjoy the process of getting to where they want to go.

Goals aren’t all about the end result. If you want to be consistent over the long-term, you need to find ways to enjoy the process. In his book, The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness, Jeff Olson says, “Here is the amazing thing—and I’ve seen this happen so many times, yet it never ceases to fill me with awe: when you set your goals, life has a way of rearranging itself, a series of events starts in motion that you could never have predicted or planned, to get you there.”

If you want to master your life, don’t attach yourself to outcomes. Slow down in order to achieve more. Ernest Hemingway said it best – “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

4. Stay Hungry

Goals give us a sense of direction, but when life takes a turn, it may mean that your goals have to change with it. Willpower and the motivation to succeed are at their peak during the beginning stages of your journey towards the achievement of any pursuit.

The trick is to stay hungry and keep your momentum flowing. A great way to stay connected to your vision is to adopt a ritual that reminds you of why you set out to achieve a goal in the first place.

Take 5 minutes every day and journal about your goals. When you write your goals down, it’s like planting a seed. If you water that seed every day, you will be amazed at how quickly your dream life can manifest into your reality.

Building a motivation mindset is essential for achieving success in life. Become mindful of doing the very things that will support you in the achievement of your goals. Never forget that your mind is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal for supporting your highest aspirations in life.

Take it from Denise J. Hart, who said, “To get what you want in life you must develop the ability to think in the way that will support your goals and dreams.” When you master your mind, you master your life.

There is a HUGE difference between an abundance mindset vs. scarcity mindset. The path that your life takes depends, in part, on the mindset that you adopt. You can choose to either view the world as abundant or scarce, but they cannot co-exist.

The abundance mindset flows out of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security. It is a paradigm that is grounded in the belief that ‘there is more than enough’ for everyone. Alternatively, a scarcity mindset is the belief that there will never be enough, resulting in feelings of fear, stress, and anxiety.

In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, Stephen Covey explains that when you live in a world of scarcity, you compete for available resources, even when there is an abundance of them. What type of mindset do you ascribe to? One mindset will imprison you, while the other one will set you free.

I am a firm believer that if you choose to adopt a character that is rich in abundance, you will become a master of your life. The beauty of life is that at any given moment, you have the power to change your life. If you choose to make the mental shift, from a place of scarcity to one of abundance, you will transform your entire life.

I am living proof that this works. Years ago I possessed a scarcity mindset and it negatively impacted me on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. Once I made the decision to change my mindset, and walk the path of abundance, great things started happening.

I’ve observed a lot of people in my work and in my life that are consumed by a scarcity mindset, so much so that it holds them back from living to their full potential. In particular, I see a lot of examples of people that have incredible external abundance, but that live in a state of fear.

They have a lose-win mindset, which says that, ‘there is only so much pie to go around, and if you get some, there will be less for me.’ Adopting this mode of thinking only results in a life of fear, stress, and anxiety.

Below are 3 differences of an abundance vs. scarcity mindset:

Take a Risk vs. Play it Safe

Those with an abundance mindset understand that in order to grow, you need to get out of your comfort zone and take a risk in order to achieve their goals. They welcome change and see it as an opportunity to grow and expand. Those with a scarcity mindset are fret by fear. They think small and avoid risk at all costs. 

Plenty vs. Deficit

A person with an abundance mindset believes that there is always more of everything in life, whether that’s money, relationships, resources, opportunities, etc. Alternatively, someone with a scarcity mentality lives in fear that they are going to lose their time or money. Because they believe that there will never be enough, they are in constant competition to ‘stay on top’.

Positive vs. Negative

A person with an abundance mindset focuses on the limitless possibilities that exist in life. They choose to think in positive terms about everything that happens in life, good or bad. As a result of this way of thinking, they attract amazing experiences and opportunities into their lives. Alternatively, someone with a scarcity mindset always dwells on what isn’t working in his/her life. They adopt a victim mentality and blame others for their failures, instead of taking responsibility for their actions.

These are some of the differences between an abundance vs. scarcity mindset. Do you think you are suffering from a place of scarcity or abundance? If you are living from a scarcity mindset it’s time to make a shift. How? Start with your beliefs. Focus on giving more, whether that’s your money, your time, or your love.

For example, one of my rituals involves giving. I do a lot of philanthropy work that inspires me to live from a place of abundance every day. The more that you give, the more you will receive. Another option is to take a leap of faith and hire a coach, find a mentor, or attend a seminar or event that will inspire you to change your mindset.

Allow for more abundance to flow into your life. If you do so, the end result will be life mastery. William James said it best – “The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.” When you adopt an abundance mindset, your life will change forever.
