00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
You're listening to the Achievement Radio podcast

00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:04.879
where you can unlock your full potential for

00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:17.059
success. In this training you will learn how

00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:19.320
to create your best year ever by identifying

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.519
what you want and setting challenging goals to

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.739
achieve this. You will learn why you are not

00:00:23.739 --> 00:00:25.660
successful now and the benefits of setting goals

00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:27.820
and taking action every day to achieve them.

00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.219
The training will explain how you can create

00:00:30.219 --> 00:00:32.579
a goal -achieving mindset which is very important

00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:34.920
for your success. You will also learn how to

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.340
set the right goals by using the SMART process

00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:39.719
and how to create plans for the achievement of

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.140
your goals. To achieve your goals and prevent

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:44.619
yourself from giving up, you will need to develop

00:00:44.619 --> 00:00:46.759
mental toughness so that you can overcome any

00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.320
obstacles you encounter, and the steps are covered

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.899
in this powerful training. You also need to establish

00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:54.810
an empowering daily ritual. The training reveals

00:00:54.810 --> 00:00:56.670
eight best practices that you need to follow

00:00:56.670 --> 00:00:58.929
to provide you with the maximum chance of success.

00:00:59.829 --> 00:01:01.469
Everything that you need to know about deciding

00:01:01.469 --> 00:01:03.729
what you want, setting inspiring and challenging

00:01:03.729 --> 00:01:06.430
goals, and creating your best year ever is in

00:01:06.430 --> 00:01:08.790
this powerful training. The steps outlined in

00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:11.609
the training require practice, patience, and

00:01:11.609 --> 00:01:14.250
persistence. This powerful training will explain

00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:16.370
how to set life -changing goals that will help

00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:18.930
you to create your best year ever. We do not

00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:20.670
want to be negative in this training, but you

00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:23.010
need to know the reasons why you have not experienced

00:01:23.010 --> 00:01:25.590
the success that you want to this point. Let's

00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:28.010
be real. There are so many reasons why you're

00:01:28.010 --> 00:01:30.150
not successful right now, but there's only one

00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:32.170
reason why you won't be successful in the future.

00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:34.890
You have to let go of all of the excuses and

00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:37.469
stop being your own worst enemy. If you want

00:01:37.469 --> 00:01:39.609
to be successful in life, you have to stop limiting

00:01:39.609 --> 00:01:41.510
yourself with these unproductive thoughts and

00:01:41.510 --> 00:01:43.590
beliefs and start thinking like a successful

00:01:43.590 --> 00:01:47.099
person. As Albert Einstein once said, You can't

00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:49.319
solve a problem with the same mind that created

00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.239
it. If you don't change your way of thinking

00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.719
and keep procrastinating, nothing will ever change

00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.739
for the better. This training will help you to

00:01:55.739 --> 00:01:57.939
change your thinking. Let's get into it and see

00:01:57.939 --> 00:01:59.980
the main reasons why you aren't successful right

00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:03.219
now. This is the root of all problems when it

00:02:03.219 --> 00:02:05.819
comes to achieving success. If you don't know

00:02:05.819 --> 00:02:08.039
what you want out of life, you will never be

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.900
able to achieve it. Life is a journey, and before

00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:13.259
you can even start your journey, you have to

00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:15.439
have an idea of where you're going. You have

00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.219
to know what you want and where you're trying

00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:20.219
to go in life. Life is a series of choices, and

00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:21.659
if you don't know what you want, you will end

00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:23.860
up making the wrong choices. Without knowing

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:26.060
your destination and purpose, you will never

00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:28.240
have a clear idea of what's important and what's

00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.800
not. That is why you need to identify what you

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.620
really want and set goals to achieve this. Life

00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:35.699
is short, and you don't have enough time to waste

00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:37.979
doing the wrong things. You have to figure out

00:02:37.979 --> 00:02:39.800
what you want so you can start making the right

00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.280
choices and move forward. You will learn proven

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.259
techniques to identify what you want later in

00:02:44.259 --> 00:02:46.719
this training. When you live your life without

00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.900
a clear purpose, you're just winging it and you

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:51.699
won't ever be successful that way. You need goals

00:02:51.699 --> 00:02:53.719
and plans for both the short and long term to

00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.400
be successful. Without clear goals and plans,

00:02:56.740 --> 00:02:58.240
you will never reach your full potential and

00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.580
you will be stuck in mediocrity all your life.

00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:02.780
Use the techniques in this training and take

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:04.599
the time to sit down and think about what you

00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.099
want out of life, so you can set goals to achieve

00:03:07.099 --> 00:03:09.870
this. If you don't have a clear vision, You will

00:03:09.870 --> 00:03:11.990
have a hard time seeing results in your life.

00:03:12.430 --> 00:03:14.330
Without a clear purpose, you will be wandering

00:03:14.330 --> 00:03:16.689
around aimlessly without any direction and that's

00:03:16.689 --> 00:03:19.330
not a good way to live. A person without a clear

00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:21.610
purpose is like a sailor without a map. They'll

00:03:21.610 --> 00:03:23.990
get lost at sea and it will be difficult to find

00:03:23.990 --> 00:03:26.550
their way back. If you don't have a clear purpose,

00:03:26.870 --> 00:03:28.629
you will never know when you're doing things

00:03:28.629 --> 00:03:30.870
right or when you're doing things wrong. Without

00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:33.030
a clear purpose, you will get nowhere in life.

00:03:33.569 --> 00:03:35.490
When you're constantly thinking negative thoughts

00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:37.729
and feelings, it is extremely hard to succeed

00:03:37.729 --> 00:03:40.379
with anything in life. You have to let go of

00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:42.159
all your negative thoughts and emotions and start

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.479
thinking positive thoughts that will help you

00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.199
succeed in life. If you are sabotaging yourself

00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.580
with negative thoughts, there is no way you will

00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:52.199
ever be successful. A negative mindset is like

00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.419
a virus that spreads and infects all areas of

00:03:54.419 --> 00:03:57.460
your life, making it hard to succeed. When you're

00:03:57.460 --> 00:03:59.240
thinking negative thoughts and emotions, you're

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.319
setting limits for yourself and putting up barriers

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.080
you don't even know about. When you develop a

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.800
positive success mindset, which will show you

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.280
how to do later in this training, It is like

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.699
a gateway to success and abundance. You have

00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:13.580
to stop letting your negative emotions and thoughts

00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:15.879
control you and start thinking positively so

00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.339
you can start moving forward in life. When you

00:04:18.339 --> 00:04:19.920
have a negative view of the world around you,

00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:22.540
you are essentially sabotaging yourself and closing

00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:25.000
the door on opportunities and abundance in all

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.800
areas of your life. You have to stop being negative

00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:29.699
and see the positive side of everything around

00:04:29.699 --> 00:04:32.339
you. Also, you have to see how everything that

00:04:32.339 --> 00:04:35.420
happens to you is happening for a reason. Understand

00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:37.000
that all the negative things in your life are

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.199
there to make you stronger and teach you valuable

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.279
lessons that will help you evolve as a person.

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.079
Everything happens for a reason. And although

00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:45.839
it might not make sense at the moment, there

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.519
is a reason behind everything. You have to see

00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.160
the positive side of all the negative things

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.279
that happen to you and understand that they are

00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.040
helping you grow as a person. If you have a negative

00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.680
view of the world around you, you will never

00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.459
be successful no matter what you do. Stop being

00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:01.319
so pessimistic about everything and start seeing

00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.910
the positive side of everything around you. If

00:05:03.910 --> 00:05:05.689
you're afraid of failing and you're letting that

00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:08.029
fear hold you back from taking action, you will

00:05:08.029 --> 00:05:10.629
never be successful. Fear of failure keeps you

00:05:10.629 --> 00:05:12.689
stuck and stops you from doing anything. You

00:05:12.689 --> 00:05:14.550
have to understand that failure is a part of

00:05:14.550 --> 00:05:16.970
life and it's a necessary process in which we

00:05:16.970 --> 00:05:19.470
learn and grow. Learn how to let go of your fear

00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:21.569
of failure by using the techniques in this training

00:05:21.569 --> 00:05:24.990
and let it go once and for all. If you want to

00:05:24.990 --> 00:05:26.970
be successful in life, you have to stop being

00:05:26.970 --> 00:05:29.629
afraid of failing and take action even when you

00:05:29.629 --> 00:05:31.889
feel afraid. You have to understand that if you

00:05:31.889 --> 00:05:33.870
don't take any action, you will never achieve

00:05:33.870 --> 00:05:36.209
anything in life. Taking action when you are

00:05:36.209 --> 00:05:38.449
afraid takes courage and perseverance, and if

00:05:38.449 --> 00:05:40.689
you have those two traits, nothing can stop you

00:05:40.689 --> 00:05:42.930
from being successful in life. If you're scared

00:05:42.930 --> 00:05:45.790
of taking risks, you will never achieve anything

00:05:45.790 --> 00:05:48.089
in life. You have to understand that risk -taking

00:05:48.089 --> 00:05:50.209
is an important part of success, and if you don't

00:05:50.209 --> 00:05:52.230
take any risks, you will never achieve anything.

00:05:52.709 --> 00:05:54.990
Taking risks is the only way to achieve greatness

00:05:54.990 --> 00:05:57.529
in life, and you have to be willing to take risks

00:05:57.529 --> 00:06:00.300
if you want to succeed. Most people are stuck

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:02.439
in their comfort zone and are not prepared to

00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.980
take risks to improve their life. Risks are nothing

00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:07.100
more than you putting something at stake. If

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:08.879
you win, you get something great, and if you

00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.399
lose, you don't lose anything. It's all about

00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.899
calculated risks rather than taking big risks

00:06:13.899 --> 00:06:16.139
for the sake of it. You are letting your past

00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:19.120
dictate your present and future. Many people

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:20.839
allow their past to dictate their present and

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.360
future, and they will never be successful. You

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.439
have to distance yourself from your past, learn

00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.480
from your mistakes, and move on. Understand that

00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.740
you are in the present, and where you are right

00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:33.500
now is the only thing you can control. Learn

00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:35.480
to let go of your past and start living in the

00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.480
present. You have to let go of the past so you

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.040
can move forward in life and start living life

00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.060
to the fullest. So, stop dwelling on the past,

00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:44.680
learn from your mistakes, and let go of any resentment

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.560
or anger you might have against other people.

00:06:47.139 --> 00:06:49.699
These things are holding you back. Forgive yourself

00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:52.699
and others and move on. When you want to achieve

00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:54.720
a challenging goal you have set for yourself,

00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.199
you need to be disciplined. This means that you

00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.680
need to take action every day and overcome any

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.420
barriers that present themselves to you. Successful

00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:04.240
people have the right traits that empower them

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.439
to be disciplined each day so that they work

00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.959
towards achieving their goals. Without discipline,

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:11.060
you will never achieve your goals. You're not

00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:12.579
going to achieve your goals by spending hours

00:07:12.579 --> 00:07:15.060
each day on social media, for example. Breaking

00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:17.660
out of your comfort zone is usually always required

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:19.660
to change your life for the better. With the

00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:21.620
right amount of discipline, you can do this.

00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:24.389
More on this later in the training. You need

00:07:24.389 --> 00:07:25.829
to know what you really want from your life so

00:07:25.829 --> 00:07:27.629
that you can set the right goals and achieve

00:07:27.629 --> 00:07:29.970
them. This is essential for creating your best

00:07:29.970 --> 00:07:32.209
year ever. The only time that a lot of people

00:07:32.209 --> 00:07:34.449
think about what they want is at New Year's.

00:07:34.470 --> 00:07:37.069
Often this is done in a drunken haze and never

00:07:37.069 --> 00:07:39.389
followed up on. It is pointless just writing

00:07:39.389 --> 00:07:42.129
a list of goals. Any goal that you set must be

00:07:42.129 --> 00:07:45.290
to achieve something that you really want. The

00:07:45.290 --> 00:07:46.670
reason that people don't know what they want

00:07:46.670 --> 00:07:48.529
is that it takes time and effort to think about

00:07:48.529 --> 00:07:50.870
this. But you must do this if you want to change

00:07:50.870 --> 00:07:53.689
your life for the better. We will guide you to

00:07:53.689 --> 00:07:55.610
identifying what you really want from your life.

00:07:55.930 --> 00:07:57.649
Use the techniques that we reveal here to create

00:07:57.649 --> 00:07:59.889
a list of things that you want to achieve. You

00:07:59.889 --> 00:08:01.589
can then whittle the list down to the things

00:08:01.589 --> 00:08:03.949
that are burning desires for you and focus on

00:08:03.949 --> 00:08:06.569
these first. You need to define what success

00:08:06.569 --> 00:08:08.750
means to you. The most effective way to do this

00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:11.649
is to ask yourself a series of questions. Questions

00:08:11.649 --> 00:08:14.050
are very powerful and your conscious and subconscious

00:08:14.050 --> 00:08:16.589
minds will help you to find the answers. Here

00:08:16.589 --> 00:08:18.269
are some questions that you can ask yourself

00:08:18.269 --> 00:08:21.040
to identify what success means to you. What does

00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.660
success look like in your life? What does it

00:08:23.660 --> 00:08:26.019
mean for you to be successful? What does it mean

00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:28.800
for you to live a successful life? How will you

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.699
know when you've achieved success? These are

00:08:31.699 --> 00:08:34.360
all important questions to ask yourself. Only

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.179
you know what success means to you. And only

00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:39.480
you know what will make you feel successful.

00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:42.419
You have to define success for yourself and decide

00:08:42.419 --> 00:08:44.039
what is going to make you feel like you've reached

00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.679
the finish line through the achievement of your

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.679
goals. Success isn't a one size fits all kind

00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.379
of thing. It is different for everybody. Think

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:54.000
of success like a fingerprint. Your success is

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.840
unique to you and nobody else. This is why it's

00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.620
important to figure out what success means to

00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:00.620
you, as it helps you get clear on what you want

00:09:00.620 --> 00:09:03.220
from your life. Next, you need to write down

00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:05.600
your core values and beliefs. To help you do

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.779
this, ask yourself the right questions again.

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.379
Asking yourself the right questions is critical

00:09:10.379 --> 00:09:12.200
to identifying what you really want from your

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.960
life. We also have a powerful technique for you

00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:16.960
to use when you are asking yourself questions.

00:09:17.289 --> 00:09:19.509
Here are some important questions to ask yourself.

00:09:20.009 --> 00:09:22.049
They're important for you to think about, consider,

00:09:22.389 --> 00:09:25.070
and reflect on, because they will help you get

00:09:25.070 --> 00:09:27.529
clear on what you truly want out of life. The

00:09:27.529 --> 00:09:29.269
answers to these questions will help you determine

00:09:29.269 --> 00:09:31.070
where you want to focus your time and energy.

00:09:31.750 --> 00:09:33.649
What are the things that are important to you?

00:09:34.090 --> 00:09:35.889
What are the things that are non -negotiable

00:09:35.889 --> 00:09:39.009
for you? What do you value most in life? What

00:09:39.009 --> 00:09:41.529
do you truly believe in and care about? What

00:09:41.529 --> 00:09:44.529
do you stand for? Setting goals that do not conform

00:09:44.529 --> 00:09:46.850
to your values and beliefs is not going to turn

00:09:46.850 --> 00:09:49.129
out well for you. You need to identify what is

00:09:49.129 --> 00:09:51.610
most important to you and use these things as

00:09:51.610 --> 00:09:53.429
a guide to help you make the right decisions

00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:56.750
in your life. Also, they will remind you why

00:09:56.750 --> 00:09:58.590
you are pushing through when things get tough.

00:09:59.330 --> 00:10:01.789
When you are asking yourself important life -changing

00:10:01.789 --> 00:10:03.649
questions, you must approach them in the right

00:10:03.649 --> 00:10:06.309
way to get the best results. We recommend that

00:10:06.309 --> 00:10:09.190
you use the key question technique as it will

00:10:09.190 --> 00:10:11.889
help you to get the right answers. You probably

00:10:11.889 --> 00:10:14.250
already know that you have two minds. Some experts

00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:16.429
say we have three minds, but we will keep it

00:10:16.429 --> 00:10:18.850
simple here. There is the conscious mind that

00:10:18.850 --> 00:10:21.190
you use during your waking hours to process everything.

00:10:21.610 --> 00:10:23.629
Then there is your subconscious mind, which is

00:10:23.629 --> 00:10:26.529
like a giant storage facility. This storage facility

00:10:26.529 --> 00:10:29.570
is very important and crucial for your success.

00:10:30.210 --> 00:10:32.029
All of your habits are stored in your subconscious

00:10:32.029 --> 00:10:34.409
mind and some of these are good and some will

00:10:34.409 --> 00:10:37.669
be bad. As humans, we do a lot of things on autopilot,

00:10:37.750 --> 00:10:39.490
which means that we do not have to think about

00:10:39.490 --> 00:10:41.840
them to do them. If we had to think about breathing

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.379
all the time, this would be a disaster for us.

00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:46.960
Your subconscious automates your breathing. It

00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.340
also automates things like walking, eating, cleaning

00:10:49.340 --> 00:10:52.360
your teeth, driving a car, and much more. Over

00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.139
time, your subconscious has stored many habits

00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:56.240
for you that you use regularly without having

00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.559
to think about them. It is much more important

00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:00.279
that you hold your beliefs about your goals in

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.279
your subconscious mind and not just your conscious

00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.740
mind. Your conscious mind is subjected to a lot

00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:07.500
of noise each day. This is external noise and

00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:10.070
your self -taught. The subconscious mind does

00:11:10.070 --> 00:11:12.809
not have to contend with this. Your subconscious

00:11:12.809 --> 00:11:14.809
is working for you even when you are sleeping.

00:11:15.529 --> 00:11:17.330
The reason that this is important for you to

00:11:17.330 --> 00:11:19.750
know is that the key question technique is designed

00:11:19.750 --> 00:11:21.690
to draw on both your conscious and subconscious

00:11:21.690 --> 00:11:24.450
minds for answers to your questions. To use the

00:11:24.450 --> 00:11:26.389
key question technique to identify what you really

00:11:26.389 --> 00:11:28.549
want, you need to find a quiet place with no

00:11:28.549 --> 00:11:30.669
distractions and take a pen and lots of paper

00:11:30.669 --> 00:11:33.029
with you. Write down the question you want to

00:11:33.029 --> 00:11:35.070
ask yourself at the top of a blank piece of paper.

00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:38.279
For example, if you ask, What does success look

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.220
like to me? Write this down first. Conjure up

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:43.019
strong emotions when you ask the question as

00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:45.539
this will help generate answers for you. Be sure

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:47.379
to write every answer down that comes into your

00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:50.019
mind. Do not judge any of the answers you receive

00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:52.320
at this point. Just write them all down. This

00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.879
will make more sense later on. If you find that

00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.299
you are no longer getting answers, refocus by

00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:59.139
asking yourself the question again with strong

00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:02.379
emotion. The key question technique works, so

00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:05.299
use it. Now it's time to identify what you want

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:07.750
from your life. To do this we recommend that

00:12:07.750 --> 00:12:09.549
you focus on the different areas of your life

00:12:09.549 --> 00:12:11.929
that you want to improve. Here are some life

00:12:11.929 --> 00:12:14.590
areas that you may want to improve. Your career

00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:17.850
or business. Your finances. Your personal life.

00:12:18.309 --> 00:12:20.330
Your health and fitness and general well -being.

00:12:20.870 --> 00:12:23.750
Your contribution to others. These are just examples

00:12:23.750 --> 00:12:25.669
and if you have another area of your life that

00:12:25.669 --> 00:12:27.590
you want to improve then you need to use this

00:12:27.590 --> 00:12:29.809
with the key question technique. You need to

00:12:29.809 --> 00:12:31.470
ask yourself the right questions that will help

00:12:31.470 --> 00:12:33.529
you get clear on what you truly want from your

00:12:33.529 --> 00:12:35.850
life. The answers will help you determine where

00:12:35.850 --> 00:12:38.250
you want to focus your time and energy. For your

00:12:38.250 --> 00:12:40.190
career or business life you could ask yourself,

00:12:40.610 --> 00:12:43.049
am I happy with my current income? Do I need

00:12:43.049 --> 00:12:46.149
to improve my skills? Do I enjoy my job or the

00:12:46.149 --> 00:12:48.730
business I am in? And for your financial life

00:12:48.730 --> 00:12:50.870
you could ask yourself, do I have enough money

00:12:50.870 --> 00:12:53.649
saved for the future? Am I in control of my finances?

00:12:54.309 --> 00:12:56.629
Do I have too much debt? Here are some ideas

00:12:56.629 --> 00:12:58.990
for your health and fitness. Do I need to lose

00:12:58.990 --> 00:13:02.289
weight? Am I eating healthily? Do I exercise

00:13:02.289 --> 00:13:05.419
enough? You get the idea. Think about the different

00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:07.659
things in each area of your life that you want

00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:10.220
to change. Then write down the questions that

00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:12.600
you need to ask yourself and use the key question

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.360
technique to come up with answers and ideas.

00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:17.080
At the end of this exercise, you should have

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.820
several different ideas for your goals. The problem

00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:21.940
is likely to be that you have too many ideas

00:13:21.940 --> 00:13:24.279
and you need to whittle these down. It is never

00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.259
a good idea to have too many goals as it will

00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:28.320
frustrate you if you cannot achieve them all.

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:32.070
Identify what you really want. This is where

00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:34.509
the process gets really exciting. You have a

00:13:34.509 --> 00:13:36.549
list of ideas that you generated from using the

00:13:36.549 --> 00:13:38.730
key question technique and asking yourself the

00:13:38.730 --> 00:13:41.250
right questions. Now you need to whittle down

00:13:41.250 --> 00:13:43.169
this list by identifying what you really want.

00:13:43.649 --> 00:13:46.009
But how do you do that? The answer is testing

00:13:46.009 --> 00:13:49.049
your emotions and feelings. Take each of the

00:13:49.049 --> 00:13:51.769
ideas on your long list and visualize that you

00:13:51.769 --> 00:13:54.470
have already achieved the idea. For example,

00:13:54.570 --> 00:13:56.929
if one of your ideas was to increase your income,

00:13:57.419 --> 00:14:00.059
Believe that you have already achieved this and

00:14:00.059 --> 00:14:02.200
note how it makes you feel. For this to work

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.059
properly, you need to make your feelings as strong

00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:06.460
as possible. Imagine that you have already earned

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:08.639
the additional income that you desire. How does

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.200
this make you feel? Make a note of how the achievement

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.379
of each of your ideas really makes you feel.

00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:15.779
The ideas that provoke the strongest feelings

00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:18.039
are the things that you really want. You can

00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.000
turn these into your goals for creating your

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.980
best year ever. It is okay to only have one goal,

00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:25.639
and we would not recommend any more than three

00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.529
goals. Each goal should be for a different aspect

00:14:28.529 --> 00:14:30.809
of your life, such as career or business, finances,

00:14:30.990 --> 00:14:34.350
and health. The aim of life isn't to simply follow

00:14:34.350 --> 00:14:36.309
the path that you think will lead you to happiness.

00:14:36.990 --> 00:14:38.809
Instead, it should be about creating your path

00:14:38.809 --> 00:14:40.730
and making choices that align with what makes

00:14:40.730 --> 00:14:44.009
you happiest. To do that, however, it helps to

00:14:44.009 --> 00:14:46.029
create goals that are specific and measurable.

00:14:46.789 --> 00:14:48.929
Working towards a future is essential for every

00:14:48.929 --> 00:14:50.830
individual because it sets standards for your

00:14:50.830 --> 00:14:53.340
success in life. Having goals gives you something

00:14:53.340 --> 00:14:55.279
to work towards and something to look back on

00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.179
when things get tough. Goals also bring clarity

00:14:58.179 --> 00:15:00.779
and meaning into your life. They are essentially

00:15:00.779 --> 00:15:02.559
small markers along the way putting you toward

00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.000
your end destination. The happy place you want

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.460
to be once all the hard work has been done. If

00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:09.399
you've never really set goals for your life,

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:11.480
you may currently feel like you're just floating

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.759
through the world aimlessly with no real sense

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.460
of direction or purpose. Goals provide you with

00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:19.120
a much needed sense of focus and clarity. They

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.899
help you to keep your eyes trained on the prize

00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:23.220
while letting you enjoy the journey. When you

00:15:23.220 --> 00:15:25.259
know where you're headed, you're less likely

00:15:25.259 --> 00:15:27.379
to get sidetracked and lose focus on what's important.

00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.460
You can spend less time dwelling on the past

00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:31.279
and more time looking forward to the future.

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.700
Knowing what you want to achieve helps you know

00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:35.820
to identify the steps you need to take to get

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:38.679
there. Having life goals can help you build self

00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.860
-confidence. The process of setting a goal for

00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:42.600
your life can help you to discover more about

00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.940
yourself and what you want out of life. It can

00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:46.600
help you to understand the kind of person you

00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.399
want to be and the type of life you want to live.

00:15:48.669 --> 00:15:51.210
This self -discovery can give you more confidence

00:15:51.210 --> 00:15:53.929
in yourself and your abilities. When you know

00:15:53.929 --> 00:15:56.529
what you want to achieve, you know what you have

00:15:56.529 --> 00:15:59.169
to do to reach that goal. Getting there may be

00:15:59.169 --> 00:16:01.330
hard work, but you'll feel more confident in

00:16:01.330 --> 00:16:03.870
your ability to get the job done. You may even

00:16:03.870 --> 00:16:06.129
find that having a life goal helps you overcome

00:16:06.129 --> 00:16:08.429
certain insecurities or fears that you may have

00:16:08.429 --> 00:16:11.169
about yourself or your place in the world. Goals

00:16:11.169 --> 00:16:13.029
provide you with the motivation to get started.

00:16:13.549 --> 00:16:15.129
Having goals for your life will give you the

00:16:15.129 --> 00:16:17.029
motivation you need to start taking steps toward

00:16:17.029 --> 00:16:19.440
achieving them. It can help you to overcome any

00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.620
feelings of doubt and resistance you may experience

00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:24.139
along the way. Setting challenging goals also

00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:26.080
gives you something to work toward as you continue

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.299
along your journey. It gives you a reason to

00:16:28.299 --> 00:16:30.659
keep going when things get tough. Your goals

00:16:30.659 --> 00:16:32.960
keep you focused on the future and help you to

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.320
ignore any distractions that may come your way

00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:38.080
along the way. Setting goals for your life helps

00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:40.100
you to develop new skills that you require to

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:42.460
achieve each goal. As you work toward reaching

00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:44.679
your goal, you'll naturally encounter new challenges

00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.080
along the way. These challenges often prompt

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.080
you to develop new skills that can help you to

00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.320
overcome them. For example, let's say your goal

00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.460
is to lose weight. To reach that goal, you may

00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:55.480
decide to add a daily workout routine to your

00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.740
schedule. Working out regularly can help to boost

00:16:57.740 --> 00:16:59.879
your metabolism and increase your overall energy.

00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:02.440
It can also help to strengthen your muscles and

00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.779
bones. If you have not done this before, you

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:07.579
will develop new skills to achieve this. As you

00:17:07.579 --> 00:17:09.480
work toward achieving your goals, you will probably

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.720
notice a shift in your mood. You should start

00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.859
to feel more optimistic. Also, you may feel more

00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:17.019
fulfilled with your life as a whole, and you

00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:18.880
may even feel a greater sense of purpose and

00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:21.240
belonging. It is also possible that you feel

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.519
happier with your life as a whole. Having goals

00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.200
for your life can help to give you a sense of

00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.299
purpose and meaning. Goals can make you feel

00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:28.799
like you're contributing something meaningful

00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.000
to the world around you. When you reach your

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.980
goal, you can feel fulfilled with your life as

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:35.519
a whole. You can look back on your life and know

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.460
that you've done everything you can to make the

00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:40.259
world a better place. In addition to this, You

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:42.039
can look back on your life and know that you've

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:44.059
done everything you can to be the best person

00:17:44.059 --> 00:17:46.700
you can be. Setting goals for your life can help

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:48.940
you to develop new habits that can help you to

00:17:48.940 --> 00:17:51.519
achieve those goals. Goals can help you to break

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.779
down really complicated and seemingly impossible

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:56.480
tasks into manageable pieces. When you break

00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:58.480
down your goals into smaller, more manageable

00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.140
pieces, it can help you to establish new habits

00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:03.200
so you have a better chance of achieving your

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.039
goals. Having something that you need to do regularly

00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.160
usually means you're more likely to keep doing

00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.980
it even when it gets hard. When you build a new

00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:13.079
empowering habit, you're strengthening the neural

00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.019
pathways in your brain. You're essentially retraining

00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:17.980
your brain to do the things that you want it

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:21.079
to do to help you achieve your goals. When it

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:22.839
comes to success, many different factors come

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.380
into play. While some might think that success

00:18:25.380 --> 00:18:27.140
is all about luck or being in the right place

00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:29.440
at the right time, those who have managed to

00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:31.819
attain their measure of success know that this

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:34.980
isn't always the case. Resilience, dedication,

00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:37.559
and hard work are just a few of the factors that

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:39.619
come into play when we are talking about success.

00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:42.420
The truth is that we all have the potential for

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:44.480
greatness buried somewhere deep inside of us.

00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:46.920
But the trick is unearthing and developing these

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.200
qualities so we can achieve our goals and live

00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.059
a happy and successful life. Developing a mindset

00:18:52.059 --> 00:18:54.200
that will allow you to achieve your goals isn't

00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.779
always an easy task. You might feel like you

00:18:56.779 --> 00:18:58.839
don't have enough motivation or drive to succeed,

00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:01.000
or perhaps you feel like you've hit a wall and

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.640
cannot find your way past it. The first thing

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.299
you need to do is find your why. This is the

00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:08.660
reason that you want to achieve your goals in

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:11.039
the first place. It's the reason you want to

00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:13.220
get up in the morning and you want to keep going

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:15.079
even when things get tough and you feel like

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.559
quitting. Finding your why is the most important

00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.420
thing you can do when it comes to achieving your

00:19:19.420 --> 00:19:22.480
goals. What drives you and lights you up? How

00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:24.440
will achieving your goals make you feel truly

00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.079
alive? Why do your goals make you jump out of

00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:29.180
bed in the morning excited to go after your dreams?

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:33.220
This is your why. Once you know your why, everything

00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:35.839
else naturally falls into place. It is recommended

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:37.779
to create a why statement for each of your goals.

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:40.660
You can use your why as a guiding force to help

00:19:40.660 --> 00:19:42.420
you make the right decisions and stay focused

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:45.059
and motivated, and it will remind you why you

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:47.799
are pushing through when things get tough. More

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.180
on this later in the training. Don't dwell on

00:19:50.180 --> 00:19:52.359
the past. When we start to dwell on the past,

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:54.440
it becomes very easy to slip into a negative

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.180
mindset. This mindset can lead us down a dangerous

00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:00.140
path. whereby we start to spiral into a pit of

00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:03.359
despair and self -loathing. This is not healthy

00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.559
and can be very damaging to your mental and emotional

00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.619
health. Sometimes it can even lead to depression

00:20:08.619 --> 00:20:11.200
and anxiety, which are two things that nobody

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.559
wants to deal with. Dwelling in the past will

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:15.339
not help you to achieve your goals, so you must

00:20:15.339 --> 00:20:18.720
stop doing this now. When we set goals for ourselves,

00:20:18.859 --> 00:20:21.740
these goals must be realistic. If you set something

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:23.599
that is too difficult or too far out of your

00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.759
reach, it can easily lead to frustration. This

00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:28.440
can not only make you feel bad about yourself,

00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:31.119
but can also cause you to lose motivation. It

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.000
is so important to set goals that you know you

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.559
have a good chance of achieving. If you set something

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:37.839
that is slightly out of your reach, you will

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.440
still be able to accomplish it. At the same time,

00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.539
it will still be challenging enough to keep you

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:45.160
interested and engaged in the process. This will

00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.059
allow you to feel successful and will leave you

00:20:47.059 --> 00:20:49.640
with a feeling of pride and accomplishment. Be

00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.779
determined to achieve your goals. The more determined

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:54.700
you are to succeed, the more likely you are to

00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:57.710
achieve your goals. It's that simple. If you

00:20:57.710 --> 00:21:00.029
have a goal to lose weight, for example, being

00:21:00.029 --> 00:21:02.029
determined to succeed will help you stay focused

00:21:02.029 --> 00:21:04.390
and on track. It will also allow you to push

00:21:04.390 --> 00:21:06.210
past the times when you feel like you can't go

00:21:06.210 --> 00:21:08.769
on or that you just aren't good enough. If you

00:21:08.769 --> 00:21:10.910
give up or lose focus, you will not be able to

00:21:10.910 --> 00:21:13.430
achieve your goal. This is why it is so important

00:21:13.430 --> 00:21:15.369
to stay determined and focused on the task at

00:21:15.369 --> 00:21:17.509
hand. There will be times when you feel like

00:21:17.509 --> 00:21:19.849
giving up. When this happens, you must fight

00:21:19.849 --> 00:21:21.609
through it and remind yourself why you are doing

00:21:21.609 --> 00:21:23.750
what you are doing. Use your why statement to

00:21:23.750 --> 00:21:26.500
help you here. You can change your thought process

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:29.200
and the way that you view the world. This is

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.900
a very powerful thing because it will allow you

00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:34.140
to see the positive side of everything. Dwelling

00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:36.119
on the negative aspects of life and situations

00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.900
can be dangerous and unhealthy. This is why it

00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:40.599
is so important to change your thought process

00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.900
and positively view the world. Life can be difficult,

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.160
but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the process

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.440
of getting to where you want to be. Everything

00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.400
that you have or don't have today is a result

00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.579
of your thoughts. Believe that you can change

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:56.279
your thoughts to achieve your goals. It is human

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:58.220
nature to focus on the negatives and things that

00:21:58.220 --> 00:22:00.619
are lacking in our lives. This happens to us

00:22:00.619 --> 00:22:03.180
all, but you can do something about this. If

00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:04.819
you want to develop a mindset that will allow

00:22:04.819 --> 00:22:07.359
you to achieve your goals, it is very important

00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.539
to cultivate a gratitude mindset. When you have

00:22:10.539 --> 00:22:12.920
a gratitude mindset, you will begin to see the

00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:15.259
positives in what is around you. It will allow

00:22:15.259 --> 00:22:17.259
you to focus on the things that you do have in

00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:19.539
your life, rather than what you think you don't

00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:22.210
have. Having this type of gratitude mindset will

00:22:22.210 --> 00:22:24.130
allow you to be thankful for the opportunities,

00:22:24.470 --> 00:22:26.970
people, and experiences that have come into your

00:22:26.970 --> 00:22:29.609
life. This can go a long way in helping you to

00:22:29.609 --> 00:22:31.349
push past the times when things get difficult

00:22:31.349 --> 00:22:34.690
and achieve your goals. Life is all about stepping

00:22:34.690 --> 00:22:36.349
outside of your comfort zone and challenging

00:22:36.349 --> 00:22:40.029
yourself. This is how we grow and learn and discover

00:22:40.029 --> 00:22:42.750
new things about ourselves. If you want to achieve

00:22:42.750 --> 00:22:45.289
success and grow as a person, you must be willing

00:22:45.289 --> 00:22:47.910
to step out of your comfort zone. When something

00:22:47.910 --> 00:22:49.900
is outside of your comfort zone, It will help

00:22:49.900 --> 00:22:52.859
you to grow and learn in new ways. It will allow

00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:54.759
you to challenge yourself and discover new things

00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:57.319
about yourself. Having a mindset that will allow

00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:59.759
you to achieve your goals means taking risks

00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.200
and stepping outside of your comfort zone. You

00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.099
must be willing to do things that you may not

00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:06.680
be used to doing or things that may scare you.

00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:09.500
A daily empowering ritual is something that many

00:23:09.500 --> 00:23:11.660
people are beginning to implement in their lives.

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.819
It is a simple thing that you can do every single

00:23:14.819 --> 00:23:17.700
day to help you along the path to success. Having

00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:20.000
an empowering ritual can help you to get your

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.000
day started on the right foot and help you to

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.700
stay focused and motivated. Your ritual can also

00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:26.640
help you to determine your plans for the day

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.099
and prepare yourself for the challenges ahead.

00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:31.220
There are many different types of empowering

00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:33.559
rituals that you can create for yourself. You

00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:35.319
must find something that is relevant to your

00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:37.880
life and goals and something that resonates with

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.880
you on a deep level. More on this later in the

00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.339
training. You've probably heard about smart goals

00:23:43.339 --> 00:23:45.980
before. They're everywhere, especially at the

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:48.140
beginning of the new year. when everyone is resolving

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:50.440
to be more organized, productive, and accountable

00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.059
in their lives. The SMART Goal Setting Process

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:55.119
is used by people all around the world because

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.920
it is very effective. The principles of SMART

00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:59.839
outline a process that makes it easier to set

00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:02.339
goals that are effective and lasting. Here's

00:24:02.339 --> 00:24:04.079
everything you need to know about this useful

00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:06.920
framework and why it works so well. By using

00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:09.660
the SMART Goal Setting Process, you can set inspiring

00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:12.460
goals that you are more likely to achieve. What

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:15.700
does SMART stand for? The letters in SMART Goal

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:20.740
stand for Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant,

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:23.700
time -bound. Measurable means that you can put

00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:26.200
a number to the goal. If you say, I want to be

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.380
more creative this year, there's no way to measure

00:24:28.380 --> 00:24:30.680
that. If you set a goal of writing one short

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:32.380
story per month, you can track your progress

00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:35.000
and see if you're on track. You can use SMART

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.339
for almost any goal in life, whether it's a work

00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:40.380
goal, fitness goal, personal goal, or goal related

00:24:40.380 --> 00:24:43.140
to your relationships. Specific means that you

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:44.900
have a clear idea of what you want to achieve.

00:24:45.210 --> 00:24:47.789
Instead of a goal of starting an online business,

00:24:48.089 --> 00:24:50.170
choose a more specific and actionable goal like

00:24:50.170 --> 00:24:52.769
create a website to sell my products or make

00:24:52.769 --> 00:24:54.549
a product that solves a problem people have.

00:24:55.029 --> 00:24:57.529
A specific goal will provide you with much needed

00:24:57.529 --> 00:25:01.109
clarity. Smart goals are very effective. Why

00:25:01.109 --> 00:25:03.589
do smart goals work? When you set goals, you

00:25:03.589 --> 00:25:05.269
make a promise to yourself to get certain things

00:25:05.269 --> 00:25:08.049
done, but not all goals are equal and not all

00:25:08.049 --> 00:25:09.990
goals will help you achieve what you want in

00:25:09.990 --> 00:25:12.630
life. Smart goals are a useful framework for

00:25:12.630 --> 00:25:14.589
setting goals that are effective and lasting.

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.900
Why? Because when you set goals with the smart

00:25:17.900 --> 00:25:20.500
criteria in mind, it's easier to make sure your

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:24.019
goals are specific. You know exactly what you

00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:27.039
want to achieve. Measurable. You have a clear

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.000
idea of how to measure your progress. Achievable.

00:25:30.259 --> 00:25:32.440
You have the resources and skills to achieve

00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.740
your goal. Relevant. Your goal has meaning and

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:37.619
helps you get closer to your life's purpose.

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:40.859
Time -bound. You know exactly when you want to

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:43.380
achieve your goal. These five criteria make it

00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:45.440
easier to set goals that are effective and lasting.

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:47.900
A lot of people set goals that are too vague

00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:50.279
or have no deadline for achievement. You do not

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:52.140
want to make this mistake, as it will severely

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:54.039
hamper your chances of achieving your goals.

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.599
Make sure you use all the smart criteria as you

00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.299
set your goals. Take your time. You're setting

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:02.420
your goals for your best year ever, so think

00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:05.259
them through. We recommend that you start with

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:07.720
one goal to create your best year ever. Set a

00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.559
maximum of three goals for different aspects

00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:12.079
of your life. If you try to achieve too many

00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.599
goals, you won't achieve any. You'll be too busy

00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:17.039
trying to get everything done. To make it simple,

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:19.240
choose one goal that you really want to achieve

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:22.119
in the next year. This is the goal you'll use

00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.460
to set your SMART goal. Here's what you need

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:27.920
to do. One, make the goal specific. What exactly

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.259
do you want to achieve in the next year? How

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:32.259
will achieving this goal move you closer to where

00:26:32.259 --> 00:26:34.819
you want to be in life? What will it do for you?

00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.559
Two, make the goal measurable. How will you know

00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:39.579
when you've achieved this goal? How will you

00:26:39.579 --> 00:26:42.140
measure your progress toward the goal? 3. Make

00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:44.839
the goal achievable. What resources do you have?

00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:47.339
What skills do you have? Do you have the support

00:26:47.339 --> 00:26:50.319
you need to achieve this goal? If not, what can

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:52.960
you do to get it? 4. Make the goal relevant.

00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:55.519
What do you want to achieve with this goal? How

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:57.319
does achieving this goal fit into your life's

00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.460
purpose? How does it help you move toward your

00:26:59.460 --> 00:27:02.559
deepest desires? 5. Make the goal time -bound.

00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:05.339
When do you want to achieve this goal? What are

00:27:05.339 --> 00:27:07.950
your milestones for this goal? What actions can

00:27:07.950 --> 00:27:10.190
you take today to get closer to achieving your

00:27:10.190 --> 00:27:13.410
goal? Look for examples of smart goals. What

00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:15.650
does a smart goal look like? After you've set

00:27:15.650 --> 00:27:17.529
your goal using the smart principles, it will

00:27:17.529 --> 00:27:20.390
look something like this. Specific. I will attend

00:27:20.390 --> 00:27:22.869
two networking events per month. Measurable.

00:27:23.210 --> 00:27:25.490
I will write down five new contacts names at

00:27:25.490 --> 00:27:28.930
each networking event. Achievable. I will prepare

00:27:28.930 --> 00:27:30.730
a short introduction for myself and practice

00:27:30.730 --> 00:27:34.430
it before each event. Relevant. I will meet like

00:27:34.430 --> 00:27:36.750
-minded people and use their expertise to help

00:27:36.750 --> 00:27:39.849
me with my business. Time -bound. I will achieve

00:27:39.849 --> 00:27:42.789
my goal in one year. Specify the exact date.

00:27:43.329 --> 00:27:45.930
This is just an example. You can find other examples

00:27:45.930 --> 00:27:48.089
of successful SMART goals by searching online.

00:27:48.670 --> 00:27:50.569
You must understand and apply the concept of

00:27:50.569 --> 00:27:52.630
the SMART goal setting process, so we would recommend

00:27:52.630 --> 00:27:54.430
that you search for more SMART goal examples

00:27:54.430 --> 00:27:57.289
to inspire you. If you set your goals using the

00:27:57.289 --> 00:27:59.309
SMART principles, but they still don't feel like

00:27:59.309 --> 00:28:01.470
they're quite there, Here are some techniques

00:28:01.470 --> 00:28:03.390
and questions to ask yourself to make your goals

00:28:03.390 --> 00:28:06.650
smarter. Make them more specific. General goals

00:28:06.650 --> 00:28:08.789
are broad and lack the specificity needed to

00:28:08.789 --> 00:28:10.869
achieve them. Find a way to make your goals more

00:28:10.869 --> 00:28:13.130
measurable. What are the quantitative ways you

00:28:13.130 --> 00:28:15.369
can track your progress towards your goal? Make

00:28:15.369 --> 00:28:17.630
your goals more achievable. What can you do to

00:28:17.630 --> 00:28:19.650
make sure you have the resources and skills you

00:28:19.650 --> 00:28:21.930
need to achieve your goal? Find a way to make

00:28:21.930 --> 00:28:24.289
your goals more relevant. Why do you want to

00:28:24.289 --> 00:28:26.410
achieve this goal? How does achieving this goal

00:28:26.410 --> 00:28:30.900
fit into your life's purpose? The most important

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:33.319
things are action and follow through. There's

00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:35.140
no point in setting goals if you don't have a

00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:37.519
plan for achieving them. It's very easy to think

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:39.380
about what you want to do and be inspired by

00:28:39.380 --> 00:28:41.319
other people's success stories, but following

00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.359
through on your plans is much harder. For success

00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.980
in life, career, or personal growth, you need

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:49.599
a strategy that works for you. The process of

00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.059
creating plans can seem daunting at first, but

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:53.940
when broken down into simple steps, it becomes

00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:56.640
much less scary. Creating plans isn't just about

00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.039
checking boxes. It's about creating a blueprint

00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:01.160
for the life you want so that one step leads

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:04.559
directly to the next. As they say, the devil

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:07.779
is in the detail. Many people set big, vague

00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:10.079
goals like become more confident or write a book,

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.480
but unless you break down your goal into smaller,

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:14.920
more manageable tasks, you'll never know if you've

00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:17.700
achieved what you've set out to do or not. Goals

00:29:17.700 --> 00:29:19.660
are high -level statements of what you want to

00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:22.240
achieve, and you need to break that down into

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.400
specific tasks that include when you need to

00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:26.680
start them, how long they are expected to take,

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.099
and what you need to do to complete them. If

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:31.019
you want to start an online business, that's

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:33.240
a similarly large goal, but it can be broken

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.339
down into smaller tasks like, decide on what

00:29:36.339 --> 00:29:39.400
niche you will operate in, what products or services

00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:42.259
will you sell or promote, create your own products

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:44.400
or services or find related ones to promote as

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.680
an affiliate, choose the right domain name, sign

00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.660
up for the best web hosting plan for your needs,

00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:52.440
install a website or blog development platform

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:55.119
like WordPress, choose the best theme for your

00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.849
website. Decide what pages to add to your website

00:29:57.849 --> 00:30:00.690
and create them. Determine the best content to

00:30:00.690 --> 00:30:03.529
add to your website and create it. Drive targeted

00:30:03.529 --> 00:30:06.210
traffic to your website. There are many other

00:30:06.210 --> 00:30:08.089
things that you need to do to create a successful

00:30:08.089 --> 00:30:10.990
online business. Break your goal down into smaller

00:30:10.990 --> 00:30:13.950
tasks. Once you have done this, you can prioritize

00:30:13.950 --> 00:30:15.990
the tasks so that you complete them in the right

00:30:15.990 --> 00:30:18.470
order. You need to accept that your plan to achieve

00:30:18.470 --> 00:30:20.670
your goal is unlikely to be perfect when you

00:30:20.670 --> 00:30:23.349
first create it. This is fine. Plans are supposed

00:30:23.349 --> 00:30:26.119
to be changed to reflect reality. Creating your

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.019
initial plan for goal achievement will provide

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:30.019
clarity and steer you in the right direction.

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:32.480
Monitor your plan regularly and make changes

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:35.599
to it when necessary. A challenging goal will

00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:38.079
push you out of your comfort zone. This is a

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:39.759
good thing as you can use the achievement of

00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:42.339
your goal to grow as a person. When you break

00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:44.500
down your goals into tasks, you will probably

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:46.240
notice that you need certain skills to complete

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.119
them. You may have no idea how to choose the

00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:51.019
right niche for your online business, for example.

00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:53.859
So you will need to educate yourself about this,

00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.500
and there is a lot of helpful information online,

00:30:56.619 --> 00:30:59.460
including videos on YouTube. When you identify

00:30:59.460 --> 00:31:01.559
the skills you need to learn, you can use this

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:03.380
information to help you decide how to structure

00:31:03.380 --> 00:31:05.779
your actions towards your goal. You must learn

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:08.279
these new skills at the right time, so you can

00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:10.460
use that as a checklist to make sure you're covering

00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:12.440
all your bases as you work towards your goal.

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:15.119
All challenging goals will require a degree of

00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:17.680
learning new skills. If your goal doesn't require

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:20.000
this, then your goal is not challenging enough.

00:31:20.190 --> 00:31:22.450
Accept that learning and doing new things is

00:31:22.450 --> 00:31:24.470
an essential element in creating your best year

00:31:24.470 --> 00:31:27.150
ever. As you're taking steps towards your goal,

00:31:27.210 --> 00:31:29.450
you will come up against obstacles, you will

00:31:29.450 --> 00:31:31.690
struggle, and you will fail if you do not have

00:31:31.690 --> 00:31:34.150
the right traits in your character. It's not

00:31:34.150 --> 00:31:35.930
a sign that you're doing something wrong, it's

00:31:35.930 --> 00:31:38.250
normal. What's important is how you respond to

00:31:38.250 --> 00:31:40.769
those obstacles and failures. An important part

00:31:40.769 --> 00:31:42.789
of responding to challenges is identifying your

00:31:42.789 --> 00:31:45.049
strengths and weaknesses. This will help you

00:31:45.049 --> 00:31:47.269
decide how to respond to challenges more effectively.

00:31:48.029 --> 00:31:50.289
Later in this training, We will provide you with

00:31:50.289 --> 00:31:52.089
proven methods that will help you achieve your

00:31:52.089 --> 00:31:54.509
goal. We will also show you how to develop the

00:31:54.509 --> 00:31:56.569
mental toughness that you need to achieve challenging

00:31:56.569 --> 00:31:59.170
goals. Identifying your strengths and weaknesses

00:31:59.170 --> 00:32:01.309
and deciding what you need to do about them is

00:32:01.309 --> 00:32:03.390
not the same as identifying the skills you need

00:32:03.390 --> 00:32:05.910
to acquire to achieve your goal. We are talking

00:32:05.910 --> 00:32:08.470
about your character here and how you will keep

00:32:08.470 --> 00:32:10.809
going every day no matter what obstacles present

00:32:10.809 --> 00:32:13.309
themselves. This is different from knowing how

00:32:13.309 --> 00:32:16.170
to buy a domain name, for example. Commit to

00:32:16.170 --> 00:32:18.970
a daily plan of action. There is nothing more

00:32:18.970 --> 00:32:21.230
important when setting goals that you want to

00:32:21.230 --> 00:32:23.569
achieve than taking action. You don't have to

00:32:23.569 --> 00:32:25.369
jump into things head first or dive in at full

00:32:25.369 --> 00:32:27.890
speed, but you have to move forward and put your

00:32:27.890 --> 00:32:30.069
wheels in motion. The most effective way to do

00:32:30.069 --> 00:32:32.650
this is to commit to a plan of action. A plan

00:32:32.650 --> 00:32:34.470
of action is a short -term plan that includes

00:32:34.470 --> 00:32:36.890
the steps you need to take each day to move towards

00:32:36.890 --> 00:32:39.529
your goals. You want to have a daily plan or

00:32:39.529 --> 00:32:41.730
task list that you will follow to move you a

00:32:41.730 --> 00:32:43.410
step closer to the achievement of your goal.

00:32:43.690 --> 00:32:46.309
You must add any learning or skills development

00:32:46.309 --> 00:32:49.430
into your daily plan. This includes any specific

00:32:49.430 --> 00:32:51.269
actions that you need to take to strengthen your

00:32:51.269 --> 00:32:53.910
resolve to achieve your goal. We recommend that

00:32:53.910 --> 00:32:55.730
you start and maintain a journal to write your

00:32:55.730 --> 00:32:57.910
daily tasks in and record your progress towards

00:32:57.910 --> 00:33:01.309
your goal. Add accountability to your plan. This

00:33:01.309 --> 00:33:03.829
is optional, but we do recommend it. There's

00:33:03.829 --> 00:33:05.609
nothing more crushing than setting a goal for

00:33:05.609 --> 00:33:07.250
yourself and then failing to follow through.

00:33:07.650 --> 00:33:09.390
If you're trying to achieve something, it can

00:33:09.390 --> 00:33:11.230
be incredibly helpful to find someone who will

00:33:11.230 --> 00:33:13.640
hold you accountable for your actions. Choose

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.500
someone who has your best interest at heart and

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:18.059
who you know will keep you on track. Whether

00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:21.339
this is a friend, family member, or coach, ideally

00:33:21.339 --> 00:33:23.279
you can find someone who is working toward the

00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:25.420
same goal as you so that you can support each

00:33:25.420 --> 00:33:27.920
other. A lot of people also find it helpful to

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:30.079
join online communities for like -minded people.

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.019
There are tons of online forums, Facebook groups,

00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:35.000
and Discord channels where you can meet like

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:36.759
-minded people who are working toward similar

00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.819
goals and will keep you accountable. By having

00:33:39.819 --> 00:33:41.980
someone keep you accountable, You will be more

00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:43.900
likely to follow through with your daily actions

00:33:43.900 --> 00:33:46.980
and eventually achieve your goal. Mental toughness

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:49.279
is not something you were born with. It is a

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:51.740
skill that must be practiced and developed over

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:53.920
time. It will help you achieve your goals through

00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.559
challenging circumstances. You need to be aware

00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:58.559
that it's not easy to train your mind to be mentally

00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:01.759
tough, but it is possible. If you want to achieve

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:04.259
your goal and create your best year ever, you

00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:06.720
will need more than just determination and willpower.

00:34:07.259 --> 00:34:09.000
Challenges come up every day and they can be

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:11.550
very difficult to overcome at times. Without

00:34:11.550 --> 00:34:14.190
the right mental tools, it might even seem impossible

00:34:14.190 --> 00:34:16.969
at times. We will explain what mental toughness

00:34:16.969 --> 00:34:18.809
is and why it's important if you want to live

00:34:18.809 --> 00:34:21.050
a happy life filled with achievements and positive

00:34:21.050 --> 00:34:24.070
experiences. You will also discover proven methods

00:34:24.070 --> 00:34:26.429
that can help you develop mental toughness so

00:34:26.429 --> 00:34:28.349
that you can tackle any challenge life throws

00:34:28.349 --> 00:34:31.010
your way. Mental toughness will give you the

00:34:31.010 --> 00:34:33.090
ability to stay focused and motivated when things

00:34:33.090 --> 00:34:36.050
are not easy. When you are mentally tough, nothing

00:34:36.050 --> 00:34:38.670
can stop you from achieving your goals. You can

00:34:38.670 --> 00:34:40.329
push through any challenges that come your way

00:34:40.329 --> 00:34:42.869
and find a way to succeed. Mental toughness is

00:34:42.869 --> 00:34:44.650
a skill that can be developed through training

00:34:44.650 --> 00:34:47.389
and practice. With the right methods, you can

00:34:47.389 --> 00:34:49.329
learn how to stay focused on your goals even

00:34:49.329 --> 00:34:51.550
when things get tough and get yourself on the

00:34:51.550 --> 00:34:54.349
path to success. Mental toughness will make achieving

00:34:54.349 --> 00:34:56.909
your goal easier. Mental toughness is something

00:34:56.909 --> 00:34:59.849
that is needed for achieving any goal. You can't

00:34:59.849 --> 00:35:01.849
achieve your goals in life if you give up when

00:35:01.849 --> 00:35:04.070
things get tough, so you need something that

00:35:04.070 --> 00:35:07.139
keeps you going, even when times are hard. Developing

00:35:07.139 --> 00:35:09.500
mental toughness allows you to do this. There

00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:11.719
are many ways that you can develop mental toughness.

00:35:12.260 --> 00:35:14.679
With mental toughness, you can overcome any challenges

00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:16.719
that come your way and focus yourself on the

00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:19.159
path to success. Don't be afraid of failure.

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:21.579
It can be easy to put off your actions to achieve

00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:23.599
your goals because you're afraid of failing.

00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:25.920
You might be scared of failing short of your

00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:27.539
expectations and not achieving what you hoped

00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:30.340
for. But if you give up too soon, you'll never

00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:32.880
achieve anything at all. There will come a time

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:35.659
when you will fail. Everyone fails at some point.

00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:37.880
Don't let fear of failure hold you back from

00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.739
trying. If you never try, you'll never achieve

00:35:40.739 --> 00:35:43.280
anything in life. When you fall short, you have

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.239
an opportunity to learn from your mistakes so

00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.480
that you can do better next time. Failure is

00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:49.800
a part of growing as a person. That happens to

00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:51.719
everyone at some point. You just need to use

00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:53.480
it as a learning opportunity instead of letting

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:56.300
it discourage you. Many people who struggle with

00:35:56.300 --> 00:35:58.320
procrastination also have trouble with mental

00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.760
toughness. If you are someone who always puts

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.730
things off, you are not mentally tough. You are

00:36:03.730 --> 00:36:05.510
not used to pushing yourself and staying focused

00:36:05.510 --> 00:36:07.989
until the job is done. But if you want to achieve

00:36:07.989 --> 00:36:09.989
your goals in life, you will need to learn how

00:36:09.989 --> 00:36:11.849
to work on them and push yourself until they

00:36:11.849 --> 00:36:14.389
are complete. You can't expect to magically have

00:36:14.389 --> 00:36:16.170
all the skills and knowledge that you need for

00:36:16.170 --> 00:36:18.969
achieving your goals. It requires work and practice

00:36:18.969 --> 00:36:21.510
until you get better. Don't just put things off

00:36:21.510 --> 00:36:24.050
until later and expect them to get done. If you

00:36:24.050 --> 00:36:25.909
want to achieve your goals in life, you must

00:36:25.909 --> 00:36:28.469
get started immediately and not wait for anyone

00:36:28.469 --> 00:36:31.530
or anything. If you have a lot of different tasks

00:36:31.530 --> 00:36:33.329
to complete, it can be difficult to know which

00:36:33.329 --> 00:36:35.409
one to start with. You may feel like you have

00:36:35.409 --> 00:36:37.289
too many things on your plate, and you don't

00:36:37.289 --> 00:36:39.570
know how you'll ever get them all done. The best

00:36:39.570 --> 00:36:41.769
way to deal with this is to prioritize the most

00:36:41.769 --> 00:36:44.670
important tasks. When you are not sure how to

00:36:44.670 --> 00:36:47.230
prioritize your tasks, you can use the 80 -20

00:36:47.230 --> 00:36:50.130
rule. This rule states that 80 % of your results

00:36:50.130 --> 00:36:52.909
come from 20 % of your work, so you want to focus

00:36:52.909 --> 00:36:55.329
on the tasks that will bring you the most results.

00:36:55.980 --> 00:36:57.940
Another tip we will include here is to tackle

00:36:57.940 --> 00:37:00.380
any task as a priority that is causing you to

00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:02.719
stress because you haven't completed it. This

00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:04.880
can be something simple, such as paying a bill

00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.320
or sending an email. The relief that you will

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.360
experience by tackling these stressful tasks

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.739
first will motivate you to continue and complete

00:37:11.739 --> 00:37:14.760
all of your tasks. It can be easy to get distracted

00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.039
by other things that come up around you. You

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:19.119
might get sidetracked by something less important

00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.530
and not get as much done as you need to. If you

00:37:21.530 --> 00:37:23.110
want to achieve your goals in life, you need

00:37:23.110 --> 00:37:25.409
to focus on the tasks for the day until they

00:37:25.409 --> 00:37:27.690
are complete. You are less likely to achieve

00:37:27.690 --> 00:37:29.690
your goal if you get easily distracted by other

00:37:29.690 --> 00:37:32.869
things. As an example, if you know that your

00:37:32.869 --> 00:37:34.750
phone is going to be a distraction for you, then

00:37:34.750 --> 00:37:36.909
put it in silent mode or leave it in another

00:37:36.909 --> 00:37:39.610
room. Be honest with yourself and identify those

00:37:39.610 --> 00:37:41.710
things that are most likely to distract you and

00:37:41.710 --> 00:37:43.690
avoid them when you are working on your goal

00:37:43.690 --> 00:37:46.170
tasks. You will need a good level of persistence

00:37:46.170 --> 00:37:48.550
to achieve your goal. This is the ability to

00:37:48.550 --> 00:37:51.480
keep going, even when it gets tough. When something

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:53.760
goes wrong or you encounter a setback, it can

00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:56.260
be difficult to keep going. The temptation may

00:37:56.260 --> 00:37:58.679
be to give up, but with the right amount of persistence,

00:37:58.739 --> 00:38:01.380
you will keep going. If you find your mind wandering

00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:03.300
when you are tackling one of your goal tasks,

00:38:03.820 --> 00:38:05.920
practice refocusing on the task until you complete

00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:09.119
it. When things go wrong, and they will, commit

00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:11.260
to finding a solution that will enable you to

00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:13.800
move forward. If you have trouble staying organized,

00:38:13.860 --> 00:38:15.739
it can be hard to achieve your goals in life.

00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:18.400
You need to be organized so that you know what

00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:20.860
you need to do and when you need to do it. With

00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:22.920
poor organization, you will fall behind on your

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:25.179
tasks and they won't get done. This can lead

00:38:25.179 --> 00:38:27.099
to you feeling overwhelmed and wanting to give

00:38:27.099 --> 00:38:29.780
up on your goals. This is not just about organizing

00:38:29.780 --> 00:38:32.039
your tasks. You need to know where everything

00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:34.239
is that you need to complete your task so you

00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:36.659
can locate it quickly. For example, you may need

00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:38.500
a computer file such as a spreadsheet or text

00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:41.199
document to complete the task. Make sure that

00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.360
you organize your computer so that you can find

00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.079
this easily. People that have mental toughness

00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:48.639
never give up. You must never give up as well.

00:38:48.809 --> 00:38:51.030
There are going to be challenges along the way

00:38:51.030 --> 00:38:53.150
and there might be times when it is easy to give

00:38:53.150 --> 00:38:55.409
up. You might feel like you have taken too long

00:38:55.409 --> 00:38:57.449
to get results or you may encounter a really

00:38:57.449 --> 00:39:00.789
big setback. But if you want to achieve your

00:39:00.789 --> 00:39:03.150
goals and create your best year ever, you need

00:39:03.150 --> 00:39:05.429
to push through these challenges. You'll have

00:39:05.429 --> 00:39:07.590
to work hard to achieve your challenging goals.

00:39:08.130 --> 00:39:09.909
There will be times when it will seem like you

00:39:09.909 --> 00:39:12.489
are going nowhere. Never giving up means that

00:39:12.489 --> 00:39:15.429
you will get there in the end. To provide you

00:39:15.429 --> 00:39:16.969
with the best chance of achieving your goal,

00:39:17.070 --> 00:39:19.030
You need to create a daily routine that will

00:39:19.030 --> 00:39:20.809
inspire you to take action and complete your

00:39:20.809 --> 00:39:23.909
goal tasks. This may not be easy for you at first,

00:39:23.949 --> 00:39:25.909
but after a short time your daily routine will

00:39:25.909 --> 00:39:28.010
become a habit and you will perform the routine

00:39:28.010 --> 00:39:31.170
on autopilot. Before you can successfully develop

00:39:31.170 --> 00:39:33.489
a ritual to achieve your goal, you have to remember

00:39:33.489 --> 00:39:36.150
why you want to achieve it. Often when we have

00:39:36.150 --> 00:39:38.530
a goal, we get so focused on the day -to -day

00:39:38.530 --> 00:39:41.250
activities that we forget about the why. The

00:39:41.250 --> 00:39:43.130
real reason why we're doing what we're doing.

00:39:43.710 --> 00:39:46.190
This is where your why statement is very important.

00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.340
Your why statement is the reason why you do what

00:39:49.340 --> 00:39:52.019
you do. It's the spark that gets you out of bed

00:39:52.019 --> 00:39:53.719
every morning and keeps you going when times

00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:56.320
get tough. Be sure to read your why statement

00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:58.480
and your goal every morning so that you are motivated

00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:01.019
for the day ahead. Write down the tasks that

00:40:01.019 --> 00:40:02.840
you need to do each day to get closer to your

00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:05.639
goal. By writing down your daily tasks and sticking

00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:07.920
to a schedule, you'll feel less stressed and

00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.360
more in control of your life. Your daily task

00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:12.840
list doesn't have to be a long drawn -out document.

00:40:13.050 --> 00:40:15.130
If you're ambitious enough, you can create a

00:40:15.130 --> 00:40:16.949
calendar with tasks for each day of the week.

00:40:17.590 --> 00:40:19.469
Otherwise, a to -do list with a few items per

00:40:19.469 --> 00:40:21.369
day will be more than enough to keep you on track.

00:40:21.909 --> 00:40:24.110
Avoid adding tasks to your daily task list if

00:40:24.110 --> 00:40:26.349
you can avoid it. Your aim should be to complete

00:40:26.349 --> 00:40:28.869
all of your tasks each day. There will be times

00:40:28.869 --> 00:40:31.250
when you cannot achieve this, so don't beat yourself

00:40:31.250 --> 00:40:33.570
up when this happens. Just reschedule the unfinished

00:40:33.570 --> 00:40:36.329
tasks. Cultivating a successful daily ritual

00:40:36.329 --> 00:40:38.909
is all about discipline, and discipline is all

00:40:38.909 --> 00:40:40.670
about finding the time that works for you and

00:40:40.670 --> 00:40:43.059
sticking to it. You might feel like you don't

00:40:43.059 --> 00:40:44.719
have enough time in the day to fit everything

00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.940
you want to do into your schedule, but you have

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:49.760
to make time. If you want to achieve your goals,

00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:51.920
you have to schedule time for them in your daily

00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.659
routine. Every person is different and has different

00:40:54.659 --> 00:40:57.500
needs when it comes to time management and scheduling.

00:40:58.059 --> 00:40:59.840
The trick is to find the time that works for

00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:02.380
you and stick to it as diligently as possible.

00:41:02.940 --> 00:41:06.059
Create and use positive affirmations. This is

00:41:06.059 --> 00:41:08.650
optional, but we strongly recommend it. Affirmations

00:41:08.650 --> 00:41:10.769
are positive statements about you and your future

00:41:10.769 --> 00:41:13.570
achievements. They can help reinforce the thoughts

00:41:13.570 --> 00:41:15.690
and goals you have for yourself and help motivate

00:41:15.690 --> 00:41:18.230
you along your journey. Having positive thoughts

00:41:18.230 --> 00:41:20.090
and visualizations can help you achieve goals

00:41:20.090 --> 00:41:22.190
by reprogramming your subconscious to believe

00:41:22.190 --> 00:41:24.570
in yourself and what you are doing. We all have

00:41:24.570 --> 00:41:26.489
those days when it feels like the world is working

00:41:26.489 --> 00:41:29.150
against us and nothing good happens. These are

00:41:29.150 --> 00:41:31.269
the times when we have to dig deep to find the

00:41:31.269 --> 00:41:33.969
strength and courage to keep going. Create positive

00:41:33.969 --> 00:41:36.070
affirmations around the weaknesses you have identified

00:41:36.070 --> 00:41:38.599
in your character. Recite these affirmations

00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:40.500
after you have read your why statement and goal.

00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:43.039
Anytime you feel that you need more motivation,

00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:46.420
read your affirmations out loud. We recommend

00:41:46.420 --> 00:41:48.400
that you start and maintain a journal where you

00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.159
can record all of your daily goal actions. You

00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:53.159
can also use your journal to write down three

00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:55.000
things that you are grateful for in your life

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:57.400
each day. Being grateful for what you already

00:41:57.400 --> 00:41:59.300
have will empower you to achieve your goals.

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.699
It will not be difficult for you to come up with

00:42:01.699 --> 00:42:03.699
three things that you are grateful for each day.

00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:06.619
Be grateful that you are alive. Look around you

00:42:06.619 --> 00:42:08.019
and be grateful for the people that you have

00:42:08.019 --> 00:42:10.400
in your life. Think about the things that you

00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:12.280
have, such as a job to pay the bills, a roof

00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.699
over your head, and so on. Follow these eight

00:42:15.699 --> 00:42:17.880
proven best practices to give yourself the maximum

00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:20.519
chance of creating your best year ever. One,

00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:24.079
understand why you are not successful now. Understanding

00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:25.699
why you don't have the success in your life that

00:42:25.699 --> 00:42:27.940
you want now is important, as it will help you

00:42:27.940 --> 00:42:30.559
to identify what you need to fix. Most people

00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:32.159
are not successful because they don't know what

00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:34.400
they want in life. They have no clear purpose

00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:36.679
and are just winging it. If you have a negative

00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:39.059
mindset, then you need to change this. For a

00:42:39.059 --> 00:42:40.800
lot of people, the fear of failure prevents them

00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:43.300
from taking action. Are you scared of taking

00:42:43.300 --> 00:42:46.079
calculated risks? Don't keep dwelling in the

00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:47.920
past and letting this influence your future.

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:50.380
To create your best year ever, you need to have

00:42:50.380 --> 00:42:53.119
discipline in your life. Two, identify what you

00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:55.900
really want from your life. You can use the key

00:42:55.900 --> 00:42:57.719
question technique to ask yourself the right

00:42:57.719 --> 00:42:59.920
questions to identify what you really want from

00:42:59.920 --> 00:43:02.920
life. Ask yourself, what does success mean to

00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:05.300
you? and make a list of your core values and

00:43:05.300 --> 00:43:08.579
beliefs. Your goals need to be a good fit. Think

00:43:08.579 --> 00:43:10.440
about the areas of your life that you want to

00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:12.920
improve, such as your career or business, your

00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:15.980
finances, your health, etc. Use the key question

00:43:15.980 --> 00:43:18.000
technique to ask yourself what you want in these

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:20.760
areas and write down all of the answers. These

00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:22.699
answers will be the foundation for your goals.

00:43:23.260 --> 00:43:25.420
Go through each idea and imagine that you have

00:43:25.420 --> 00:43:28.199
already achieved whatever it is. Those that provoke

00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:30.019
the strongest feelings within you are the things

00:43:30.019 --> 00:43:32.929
you really want. 3. Know the benefits of setting

00:43:32.929 --> 00:43:35.550
challenging goals. Setting goals will provide

00:43:35.550 --> 00:43:37.670
clarity and focus and can help boost your self

00:43:37.670 --> 00:43:40.269
-confidence. The right goals will inspire and

00:43:40.269 --> 00:43:42.570
motivate you. You will develop more skills and

00:43:42.570 --> 00:43:45.250
be happier and more fulfilled. With the most

00:43:45.250 --> 00:43:47.449
challenging goals, you will establish new and

00:43:47.449 --> 00:43:49.250
empowering habits which will change your life

00:43:49.250 --> 00:43:52.750
for the better. 4. Develop a goal -achieving

00:43:52.750 --> 00:43:55.550
mindset. Develop the right mindset to achieve

00:43:55.550 --> 00:43:58.269
your goals. Find your why for wanting to achieve

00:43:58.269 --> 00:44:01.369
each goal. Make your goals realistic. Be determined

00:44:01.369 --> 00:44:03.210
to achieve your goals and change your thought

00:44:03.210 --> 00:44:05.289
process to neutralize negative thoughts with

00:44:05.289 --> 00:44:08.130
positive ones. Cultivate a gratitude mindset

00:44:08.130 --> 00:44:10.449
and be prepared to step out of your comfort zone.

00:44:10.929 --> 00:44:14.550
Create an empowering daily routine. Five, use

00:44:14.550 --> 00:44:17.369
the SMART goal -setting process. SMART stands

00:44:17.369 --> 00:44:20.269
for Specific, Measurable, Relevant, and Time

00:44:20.269 --> 00:44:23.630
-bound. When you set SMART goals, they are never

00:44:23.630 --> 00:44:26.050
vague. Set your goal and check that it complies

00:44:26.050 --> 00:44:28.840
with all elements of the SMART process. Use the

00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.079
things that you really want you identified using

00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:33.239
the key question technique as the basis for your

00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:36.820
goals. Setting one goal is fine. Never set more

00:44:36.820 --> 00:44:39.800
than three goals. 6. Create plans to achieve

00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:42.420
your goals. You must have a detailed plan to

00:44:42.420 --> 00:44:44.800
achieve each of your goals. Break your goal down

00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.699
into specific tasks. Identify any new skills

00:44:47.699 --> 00:44:50.340
that you need to learn. Also identify your strengths

00:44:50.340 --> 00:44:52.420
and weaknesses so that you can improve the areas

00:44:52.420 --> 00:44:54.920
where you are weak. Commit to a daily plan of

00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:58.260
action and add accountability to your plan. 7.

00:44:58.260 --> 00:45:00.960
Develop your mental toughness. You will need

00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:03.039
mental toughness to achieve your goal or goals.

00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:05.679
This will help you to overcome adversity when

00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:07.980
things go wrong. The more mentally tough you

00:45:07.980 --> 00:45:10.380
are, the easier it will be for you to achieve

00:45:10.380 --> 00:45:12.719
your goal or goals. Don't be afraid of failure

00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:14.940
when you are pursuing your goals. Failure is

00:45:14.940 --> 00:45:18.199
often necessary for success. Successful people

00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:21.079
always start. They never wait for anyone or anything.

00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:24.340
You need to prioritize your tasks properly so

00:45:24.340 --> 00:45:26.539
you complete the most important actions first.

00:45:26.780 --> 00:45:29.579
Avoid distractions and keep focused on your tasks.

00:45:30.019 --> 00:45:32.920
Develop your persistence and get organized. Never

00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:36.659
give up as this guarantees failure. 8. Create

00:45:36.659 --> 00:45:39.880
a daily ritual to achieve your goal. An empowering

00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:42.039
daily routine will help you achieve your goal

00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:44.800
faster. Read your why statement and your goal

00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.719
for inspiration. Create daily tasks to achieve

00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:50.099
your goal. Find the right time for your routine.

00:45:50.539 --> 00:45:52.860
Use positive affirmations and express gratitude

00:45:52.860 --> 00:45:55.179
daily. Now that you know what you have to do

00:45:55.179 --> 00:45:57.320
to create your best year ever, It is time for

00:45:57.320 --> 00:45:59.460
you to take action. Don't just take this training

00:45:59.460 --> 00:46:01.539
and then let it gather digital dust on your hard

00:46:01.539 --> 00:46:03.980
drive. This is your life. So follow the steps

00:46:03.980 --> 00:46:06.159
and apply what you have learned. Most people

00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:07.800
never get the results that they want when they

00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:09.280
are trying to change their life for the better.

00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:11.659
They try to figure it all out by themselves and

00:46:11.659 --> 00:46:13.960
then give up very quickly. You know exactly what

00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:15.699
you need to do now and the steps that you need

00:46:15.699 --> 00:46:17.920
to take. We hope that you enjoyed taking this

00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:19.699
training and that you found it informative and

00:46:19.699 --> 00:46:22.440
inspiring. Start right now by understanding why

00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:24.949
you are not successful now. We wish you every

00:46:24.949 --> 00:46:29.309
success in creating your best year ever. Thank
