How do I achieve my goals is a question I often ask myself and it always comes back to thesame simple formula.

It’s so simple that for mos

t it’s the last thing they would consider. Would you like to achieve your goals?

To achieve any goal you only need to focus on one thing. That’s it. Just onething? Tell me what it is I can hear you thinking. How can I do just one thing and achieve any goal? Well, let meexplain and things will become a little clearer.

Let’s as an example assume you have started your own business and set yourself the goal of “earning $40,000 inthe next 12 months” You’ve set yourself the goal but how do you actually achieve it? How do you go from where youare today to where you want to be?

When you think of the end goal it can be quite overwhelming. Must of us would have experience this at some pointwhen focusing only on the end result. There will be many challenges to overcome on the road to achieving your 12month goal, but it’s the actions you take on a daily basis that will determine if you’re successful or not. So to answerthe question “How do I achieve my goals” is simple. You do the “ONE” most important thing everyday.

What makes the difference is massive action on small things

We need to break this 12 month goal down into actions we can take every single day. As yourself the followingquestion. What is the one thing i can do today that will move me closer to my goal? You need to ask

yourself this question every single day without fail, no exceptions, and then you need to take action on the one thingyou have identified.

You need to totally hold yourself accountable for this action, no excuses, it’s not ok to finish your “ONE” thingtomorrow, that won’t work. It’s not going to get you the 12 month goal you want.

NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR ONE THING

Once you have identified your “ONE” thing you need to block time in your day to complete this. It doesn’t matterwhen you do your “ONE” thing, it matters that you get it done. Block time, gather everything you could possible needduring this time period, remove all distractions and do not stop until your “one” thing has been completed.

Extraordinary results become possible when where you want to go is completelyaligned with what you do today.

Think of it like a long line of dominos. When you knock down the first one it sets the whole thing in motion. It startsslowly, building momentum until it becomes an unstoppable force before reaching the last domino. Your goal in thiscase.

Achieving your goals is no different. You first identify daily your most important thing, you block time in your day andthen follow through by taking action to complete your one thing. Don’t forget you must hold yourself accountable forthis daily. These three steps will always answer the question of “How do I achieve my goals“ First identify, thenblock time and finally take action.

By doing this on a daily basis you are pushing over your first dominos. Imagine the momentum you would create ifyou did this every single day for 30 days? That’s a lot of “ONE” things you’ve completed.

By focusing daily on your “ONE” thing it’s simply inevitable that you will move closer to and achieve yourgoals.

So the next time you ask yourself “How do I achieve my goals” you know the answer. It’s simply the “ONE” thing.
