A quick overview of this goal setting and achievement pogram
Identify the three core flaws of traditional goal setting—overly disciplinary lean, linear planning, and missing tracking and adjustments—and discover how to reverse them to go farther faster.
Recognize that we all fail and plan with milestones to pursue goals, and embrace success as the progressive realization of a worthy ideal through roadblocks rather than quitting.
Identify dangerous areas that derail goals, including distraction from people and technology, and discouragement from negative self-talk, and build tight time blocks to stay on track.
Recognize that the number one reason we quit on our goals is a lack of desperation; raise the gravity by aligning desperation with your abilities and committing to a plan.
Memorize two quotes to sharpen goal setting and achievement: self-discipline is the ability to do what you should do when you should do it, whether you want to or not.
Set your destination and milestones, visualize the finish line, and write your goal in the workbook to guide your progress toward the target.
Rate your milestones against five stones: knowledge, skill, time required, experience, and effort, and plan your day to match the difficulty and stay on track toward your goal.
Daily, remind yourself of your milestone and its difficulty. Chart progress with a performance planner, schedule tasks and times, and log notes on what went well or not.
Unlock your pretty why, the pretty reason you share to propel your five stone goal setting. Tell others the purpose to build connections, referrals, and serving them most effectively.
Explore five stones to set ambitious milestones by uncovering the ugly and pretty why, anchoring your cornerstones and sustaining motivation.
Discover how stepping stones and a proven plan turn goals into action, starting with the first step, and embracing that every journey begins with one step.
Start with a proven plan you can use or customize, then search, select, stick with it, and date steppingstones to honor an immovable deadline and track progress.
Design your experienced plan using your knowledge to guide nutrition and workouts. Date checkpoints and deadlines to stay on track.
Set check points and an immovable deadline using the five stones, reflect daily with the achievement planner, and post on Facebook to ensure accountability and progress toward your goal.
Identify the things that can kill your progress, learn from failures, and leverage milestone cornerstones and steppingstones to assess, replan, and persist toward your goals.
Create your killer list of tombstones that derail goal achievement, identify derailers like weather, cravings, pace, injuries, boredom, and lack of accountability, and keep the list handy in your workbook.
Create a killer list to combat obstacles like weather, boredom, and pain by planning actions (gym workouts, protein snacks, music), celebrating progress, and seeking accountability; prepare with killer decisions next.
Precommit to killer decisions you know you’ll make, plan for the 90 percent you can anticipate, and use the amateur, pro, quitter, and achiever framework to decide with purpose.
Explore how the psychology of the senses strengthens goal achievement by anchoring goals to sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, and using symbols, songs, and sayings.
Explore how symbols unlock recognition, power, and representation, and choose a personal emblem that anchors your goals and renews your focus daily. Use it as a daily trigger.
Use the power of sayings to ignite motivation, focus, and progress toward your goals. Write and memorize daily sayings to stay inspired, overcome discouragement, and claim success as your duty.
Use songs to trigger memories of people, places, and things, build motivation with a personal playlist, and write your theme song daily in the performance planner.
Put it all together by writing milestones and steppingstones, measuring progress with stone levels, and recording what, when, how, and feelings in a daily performance planner.
GOAL SETTING FOR THE UNDISCIPLINED
Why Don't You Achieve Your Goals?
Here are the sad facts about goals...
Why don't more people achieve their goals? It's not like we set out to fail. It's not that there aren't plenty of plans.
2 Out of 5 Is Bad
When it comes to goals most people take 2 out of the 5 steps critical for achievement.
Step 1: Set the goal and write it down.
Step 2: Create a plan and follow it.
That's not enough. It never has been.
It sounds like enough. It's logical. It makes sense. But it simply doesn't work for most people.
Why?
Steven Pressfield calls it resistance.
“Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance. Resistance cannot be seen, touched, heard, or smelled. But it can be felt. Late at night have you experienced a vision of the person you might become, the work you could accomplish, the realized being you were mean to be? Are you a writer who doesn't write, a painter who doesn't paint, an entrepreneur who never starts a venture? Then you know what Resistance is.”
Resistance is what keeps us from our goal.
And get this...
Writing the goal down & making a plan will NOT defeat it.
