Sometimes, we just don't know enough about what we are trying to achieve. Stuart Wilde
If I had a penny for each time clients ask the question....
How can I get my goals achieved?
And my answer is...First, get clear about what is that you want to achieve. You may think this is obvious but, more often than not though, I find that prospective clients who come to me thinking that they are clear about what they want, in fact, are not.
Yes, but how do you know if you are clear?
Easy! Can you tell me in 2 to 3 sentences what it is that you want to achieve and why you want to achieve it? If you can, then congratulations, you are well on your way. But be careful here, make sure you are compelling to yourself when you say what you want and why you want it.
Let's look at an example. Suppose that you want to be rich. Ask yourself what this means. Is it a certain amount of money, or is it specific possessions such as a car or a mansion or maybe a particular life style that you are after? Be clear about what rich means to you.
Next, ask yourself why you want this. Let's say that you've established that rich, to you, means having $1,000,000. Ok. Why do you want this $1,000,000? I am sure that you do not want to simply amass bank notes. What do you want this money for? Is it that you want to exchange the money for luxury vacations, or to become debt free, or buy the home you always dreamed of...go ahead, you fill in the blanks.
What's next... now that you know What you want and Why?
Once you determine exactly why you want to achieve your goal, establish how achieving this goal makes you feel. This part is always very enlightening. Ask yourself what your life will be like. Picture it if you are visual, feel it if you are sensory, or think it if you have a more cognitive nature. The point is get to the essence of why you want what you want.
What is Essence?
Essence is the intrinsic properties that serve to characterize something. Achieving the particular goal that you want gives you security, happiness, joy or confidence. Take the time to identify the intrinsic properties of your goal achieved.
You know that doing what you've always done gets you more o what you already have...undesirable result.
Don't hesitate. You are almost there. This time pledge to understand
1) What you want, exactly
2) Achieve this goal because...?
3) How you feel now that you've got it -- the essence please!
Results that you want are there for your taking. Reach for your goals, use a proven process that works. Now is the perfect time!
Be Unstoppable!
