Entrepreneurship
THE FASTEST WAY TO MEET YOUR GOALS
So this morning I reconnected on the phone with a client from several years ago, our first session back as she now gears up to explode her newest biz venture. I almost felt a little bit BAD as we talked, as the advice I was giving her, what we were talking about, was largely the same stuff we talked about way back when.
Even she said she was trying not to laugh, for the same reason. If I was less sure of myself as a coach, I might have felt tempted to help her come up with some sort of fancy plan to create epic and never before experienced results, but instead I stuck to the truth:
“The most successful people in the world, and the richest people, are NOT those who complicate things and do a whole bunch of stuff. They typically do one or two things, simple things, with focus and consistency”.
I actually read a quote to this effect yesterday and it really drove home for me what it is that’s worked so well for ME over the years. All I really do each day is write / speak or otherwise create, then sell something off the back of it.
One or two things.
Simple things.
On repeat.
But there’s actually more to it than that, in terms of WHY this stuff works so well for me and how it is that I so consistently reach even my craziest and biggest goals and dreams. I was mid-way through my journaling session just now when it hit me. I was writing my goals today as “I will” goals, it felt like a good solid STRONG way to write out what I’m committed to on this final day of the year, and as I wrote out all of the things I want to ACHIEVE and CREATE and HAVE and BECOME, I found myself writing this:
“I WILL: write out my goals and dreams daily, because the fastest way to create something is to write and speak it into reality”
As soon as I wrote that line I knew that today’s blog had to be about this topic.
I can tell you that EVERY time I have consistently written out what it is I want to achieve, and written it with focused and COMMITTED intent, I have then made it happen.
How often, to write out what you want and are committed to? DAILY. Anything less will soon become a helluva LOT less, and you know it. So just do it daily. Success, habits, doing the work, in all areas, is all SO much easier when we just do it all the time!! Make it who you ARE to do what needs to be done each day, rather than something you have to remind or motivate yourself to DO.
Anyway.
This method has been so effective for me over the years, I can’t even begin to express to you just how powerful it IS. Take the money goal which I wrote out today, for example:
“I will: make at least $18,500 each day, NOW”
I remember when my money goal was $611 per day.
I remember when it was $846 per day.
I remember when it was $980 something per day.
I remember when it went to $1086.
$1329
$1800 something
$2510
$4011
$6500 ish
$10,500
And so on.
How do I remember all these numbers from over the years, mostly to the dollar?
BECAUSE I WROTE THEM OUT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Daily.
Until they were my reality.
Well, truth be told I always elevated my goals before I hit the previous one, but every single number on that list which once seemed SO big and unrealistic, CAME TRUE because I wrote it into reality!
Do you think that the me who dreamed big of making and receivng $611 or more each day consistently could have comprehended now speaking into existence $18,500 per day received?! No way could I have felt okay to SET that goal back then, but I remember knowing that that number would just keep climbing.
And no way would I BE here, making the money I do, having the impact I do, achieving everything I set my mind to, had I not just kept consistently raising the bar over the years, stating it as done, doing the work accordingly as though I actually believed, receiving and then evolving to the next level.
Fact: if you want more, so much more, and to have your every dream come true, then you need to start DAILY stating EXACTLY what you want NOW, and then KEEP PUSHING THAT BAR.
As I sit here, in my shorts and crop top furiously typing outside the studio door this before my Bikram yoga class begins, because when you gotta get it out you gotta get it OUT, I am fully of the CERTAIN knowledge that it won’t be too long before the money goal I’m writing down for NOW receiving daily, is $80,000 … $800,000 … 8 million! And beyond.
And whatever I dream of.
Because here’s the things with dreams:
They become true when you DECIDE they will.
When you COMMIT to that decision.
When you AFFIRM and speak it into reality over and over again.
And when you do the work, but the work truly flows from the decision and the I WILL and the it is DONE and the DAILY certain affirmation.
So if you’re not where you want to be right now …
In any area of business or life …
Or you’re looking ahead to the New Year, and feeling that grip of fear and worry and ‘what if I never make it’ …
Then just try this.
Give it a go.
HUMOUR me.
And give yourself a fucking chance.
Because here’s the thing, if you’re in some way thinking that while this sounds like a good idea, a nice idea, even a great idea, but that REALLY what you need to do is to find some sort of magical solution or PLAN.
If you’re not actively writing and speaking what you want into reality already, daily and on repeat?
Then you’re instead actively creating whatever the fuck it is you’re thinking about, talking about, writing or not writing about instead.
Look around:
This is the world you made.
Don’t like it?
WRITE A NEW ONE.
