Lesson Thirty-One: Achieve Your Goals Sooner!

ACTION : The Power of Focus and Taking Action

WWhen you implement the above proven processes in each lesson, and follow all the suggestions, you will succeed. You may even achieve your goals sooner than you originally specified. Don’t be surprised at all if that doesn’t happen with some of your goals.

Review your tracking systems daily, weekly, and monthly. Take ideas from your homework and implement them into your everyday personal and business life. Remember to have your activities in priority order.

Staying focused on doing the highest payoff activities that have the highest probability of you achieving your goals is critical to your success.

This ensures you make progress toward what is most important to you. There will probably always be a gap between where you are now and where you want to be, no matter where you are in life. Knowing that you are continually doing, every day, the most important activities that puts you in a position to have the highest probability of achieving your goals is important. Find someone or a group of people to help hold you accountable for that extra nudge you need to stay focused and on track. Most of us can benefit from consistent encouragement.

“You must begin with the end in mind” as Stephen Covey says. When you do anything, you want to ask yourself about the end result you expect to receive from doing what you are doing or about to do. If it isn’t in alignment with what your goals are, then don’t do it, or at least don’t do it now. You always want to be thinking of the end result you want from everything that you do. Then work your way back to the beginning.

What will you say to get the result you want, who do you have to be or become to obtain the result you desire, what is your system/process for putting you in the best possible position to obtain the desired result? You want to make it as easy as possible for others to help you achieve your result. What do you have to

include to make it easy for people to help you?

What specific actions and activities put you in the best possible position to achieve what you really want? Lay everything out and then put the plan into action. If you don’t get the desired result, what do you have to add, change, or modify to get the result you want? Sometimes it might be a minor adjustment for the floodgates to open for you.

To get to where you want to be, you must hold clear in your mind what you most want. Your subconscious mind is a powerful, goal-achieving machine, but it can’t lead you to your desired goal, if you don’t provide it with a specific target. If it doesn’t have a clear and specific target, it can’t get you there.

The Power of Focus is more than just goal-setting exercises. It is a process in which you develop a crystal-clear vision of where you want to be, so your goal-achieving machine can make it a reality. Remember, your subconscious mind is a goal-achieving machine. It is exactly that - a machine. It reacts to the information fed to it - no emotion, no judgment. This works to your advantage or disadvantage.

The subconscious mind doesn’t know how to judge the information it receives, it only reacts to it. Whatever you feed your mind will become your reality. This is why practicing The Power of Focus every day is so important. Focus on your goals, and your subconscious mind will actually support you in taking the right actions to get you to your goals.

When you are living with your goals in mind, your subconscious mind is working to make it a reality. Practice The Power of Focus in your daily life and give your mind the chance to do what it does best - be a goal-achieving machine. Use the Power of Focus to achieve all your goals and live your dreams!

What are the first things you will implement that have the biggest impact on you achieving your goals so you can ultimately enjoy what is truly important to you? (example: calendar everything, prioritize, what will you change, delegation, scripting all about

Take Action Now and Achieve Your Goals SoonerWouldn’t it be great if you could have everything you want magically appear with the snap of a finger? Like the old adage says, "You can't get something for nothing.” The only secret to achieving your goals comes down to one main thing -- taking action.

There isn't some magic code that is only given to a select few at birth - achieving your goals is an inherent ability in all of us. You can achieve absolutely every goal you imagine, you only need to get moving. One of the benefits of taking action is that your movement is the very thing that bridges the gap between imagining a dream and manifesting it. Action = Results!

That's not to say that the road to goal achievement is free of challenges, and it's rarely a breeze, but if you ask anyone if their hard work was worth it in the end, they would say yes. The benefits of taking action far outweigh living a life that is using only a fraction of your potential and living with regret. You can go from living a life you feel controlled in, to living a life you feel in control

of. When you realize the power you hold and the benefits of taking action, your life will never be the same.

At this very moment, you have 3 choices in life:

1. Give up on ever achieving your goals2. At some later time you might get serious about taking action

and pursue your goals 3. Achieve your goals and realize your dreams now!

1. Sometimes it's easier not to work hard to achieve your goals because you just aren’t willing to do what it takes - and that’s okay if that’s really your choice. Fear of failure and disappointment keep us trapped in a mediocre life that is so much less than we deserve. You were born with the potential to succeed and anyone that has told you differently is just plain wrong. If you knew you were born for success and that achieving your goals is what you were made to do, would it make it easier to justify the pursuit of them? The truth is your success is inevitable. Failure is just something we learned from our environment - and is not part of our inherent nature. So now, you know you were born for greatness. You only get one chance in life - make it a fantastic one!

2. If you're in this category, that's good - but you might as well go for #3. The gap between #1 and #2 is the greatest, so if you're here, you've done half the work. Do this quick exercise. If you could have anything in the world right now, what would it be? Close your eyes and imagine having what you want…..feel it, be in it, and breathe it in. Now tell me how delaying that good feeling could possibly benefit you. You deserve everything you are imagining. Quit thinking and talking about doing it and just do it!

3. Congratulations! If you are in this category, you already feel the fire and know you want more. So let's get to work!

Remove the Words Can't, Try, and Maybe From Your VocabularyThere is no such thing as, try. Either you do or don't. Commit to achieving your goals or don't - it really is that simple. You were born for greatness and trying to achieve your goals is not the same as committing to achieve them.

Fear is Not an ExcuseFear is never an excuse for not taking action. You are exactly where you are right now because you have been too fearful to step outside your comfort zone. To get to where you want to be - you have to feel the fear and do it anyway. After you take action, you will wonder what you were so afraid of in the first place. The fear is only temporary, while the benefits of taking action last forever.

Taking Action Creates SupportThe minute you start taking action to achieve your goals, the universe will rush to support you - but it has to know you mean business. The support of friends and associates, and even unlikely opportunities will all come to your rescue as soon as you show the universe you are committed to achieving your goals.

Quit Talking the Talk - and Start Walking the WalkTalking about taking action and actually taking action is not the same thing. You have to get busy if you want to get to where you want to be. The sooner you get walking, the sooner you'll get there. If you want to achieve your goals within the timeframe you desire, quit wasting time and procrastinating. Start today by just doing what you know you need to do.

Life is not a predetermined set of circumstances - it is what you make of it. When you commit to achieving your goals, you realize how much power you really have. And to see the benefits of taking action - you have to start. Have faith that were programmed for success and you are already equipped with everything you need to get to where you want to be. Keep your focus on your goals and know that the benefits of taking action are so much bigger than anything you have to do to get there.

Make sure you focus on doing those activities that put you in the best position to achieve your goals every day. If you have

something scheduled and you realize you don’t have time to do it completely, sometimes doing part of something is better than doing nothing.

For example, if you have a goal to work out one hour each day (I know most of you think this is crazy, it’s an example) and you realize that you now only have 30 minutes to workout. Is working-out 30 minutes better than doing nothing on this goal? Sometimes we realize we can’t do what we set out to do 100% so we don’t do it at all. That isn’t helping you achieve your goal at all – when you do nothing.

What actions will you take now so you can achieve your goals sooner?
