Good Morning Team – we get asked this question a lot, even when it’s not the biggest goal setting day of the year.\u00a0 No matter what, or whose, goal setting system you choose to use, the key common denominator among them all is this; hand write<\/em> your goals.<\/p>\n

We’re sitting on a property that was once a dream we transformed into a goal, looking at a house built for Julie’s parents that started as a dinner table discussion.\u00a0 So we know for a fact that writing goals down<\/em> makes the difference between a hope and wish vs creating a new reality.\u00a0 Here are some other points that you might find useful as we enter 2013.<\/p>\n

“Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements<\/em>.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 –Napoleon Hill<\/p>\n

BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND:<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong>Please understand that your mind thinks in pictures and for the most part – in a linear manner. It can only plan according to what it understands currently.\u00a0 Start with activity goals \u2013 like how many people you\u2019re going to speak with, which products you\u2019re going to use, etc.\u00a0 Because activity leads to production.\u00a0 Production leads to money and THEN with money can buy the THINGS you want.\u00a0 Essentially you\u2019re going to have two sets of goals; 1. “ACTIVITY” goals and 2. \u201cThing\u201d goals.<\/p>\n

ACT WITH THE END IN HEART<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 You’ve just been asked to put together a jigsaw puzzle.\u00a0 You’re excited to get started.\u00a0 You pour out all 1,000 pieces, spreading them out across a large table.\u00a0 You then pick up the lid of the box and look at it – but there’s no picture!\u00a0\u00a0 It’s blank!\u00a0 How will you ever be able to finish the puzzle without knowing what it looks like, you wonder?\u00a0 If you only had a one-second glimpse of what it’s supposed to be.\u00a0 That’s all you need one picture of the finished product. Without it, putting together the puzzle will take a really long long time….<\/p>\n

Now picture your life and your \u201c1000 pieces\u201d.\u00a0 What is the clear picture of who you desire to BE as you build your business?\u00a0 Who is in the picture with you?\u00a0 What are you Being, Doing, Having?<\/p>\n

Here’s what I’ve learned about goals & goal getting from my 25+ years of studying successful people;<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You MUST acknowledge where you’re starting from and just because you haven’t done\u00a0\u00a0something before…doesn’t mean you can’t learn to do it now\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and\/or in the near future.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your goals MUST be bigger than you\u2026especially to the point of scaring you.\u00a0 Example;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“We’re Attracting a Global Team of Extraordinary individuals Dedicated to Loving,\u00a0\u00a0Learning and Connecting with Grace and Abundance<\/em>”<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They MUST be Specific.\u00a0 Example; if your goal is a new car; What year, make, model, color, features etc.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fluffy language like \u201cI want a new car,\u00a0 “more money”, “more time”, “more love”\u00a0…gives your brain zero info to act upon and actually gets you less of those things.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You MUST attach a time frame.\u00a0 No deadline = no urgency = no have.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You MUST never ask “How”…only “WHY”.\u00a0 The how will be provided by your mentors.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You MUST attach a big, detailed, emotionally significant “WHY” to each of your goals.\u00a0 Example, If your goal is $5000. a month….that’s great…but you don’t want that because you want 5000\u00a0pictures of George Washington for your bathroom wall…..there’s a “WHY” behind that.\u00a0 What\u00a0will achieving that allow you to Be, Do and Have?\u00a0 A Great way to focus your “WHY” is to ask\u00a0yourSelf how achieving any particular goal will benefit others.<\/p>\n

Finally, they MUST be hand written first (you can type them later) AND they MUST be read and re-read multiple times per day, every day with the same strong emotional feeling you\u2019ll have when you\u2019ve achieved those goals.\u00a0 This way your mind masters what to do.\u00a0 Repetition is the mother of skill.<\/p>\n

So now grab a pen and start writin!\u00a0 Put your \u201cpicture\u201d on paper…and over the next year watch your miracles come together….with Grace and Abundance.<\/p>\n

Live With Intention,<\/p>\n
