this could be the greatest time you ever
live if you control what you focus on if
you find a more empowering meaning and
if you decide to model the actions of
those who succeeded before you it can be
the best financial time the best
emotional time that a spiritual time of
your life but you better take control of
your state and if you think you're gonna
do it just by today you're wrong you're
gonna need to get yourself some rituals
right now every one of you this room is
controlled by your rituals I don't just
mean this one I mean every morning you
get up I know your body I can look at
your body right now and I can guess your
rituals some of you your rituals to work
out five times a week I can see it
clearly four to six times a week
it's obvious because you couldn't look
like that if you didn't do that some
form of workout I don't care if it's
walking lifting whatever some of you
it's obvious it lifting weights as part
of you can see by that man's muscles I
know I know what his rituals are because
your life comes from your rituals but
you don't develop the ritual you're
kidding yourself how many degrees me on
this raising and say I and there are
rituals to put you in state their
rituals to take you out of state you go
rituals in your relationship you've
rituals with your body you have rituals
run your finances and the rituals that
worked in the reaping time of fall and
the markets and in business and in real
estate those rituals won't work now if
you do the right thing at the wrong time
you get pain I'll say that again if you
do the right you gonna tell me I'm doing
the right thing but I'm not being
rewarded if you do the right thing at
the wrong time you don't get rewarded
you get pain so you better do the right
thing at the right time and to do that
you better know what season you're in to
do that you better learn how to change
your state how to take control of your
own conditioning that's what I live for
does this make sense to you yes or no
come on guys yes or no so now it's time
to train yourself to do that I'll show
you how fast it can change try this just
for a second I want to show you what you
can do with just focus try this for a
moment I'm gonna give you a test sit up
in your chair with some energy make sure

otherwise adjust their state come on
change your physiology what are they
gonna do see if they're ticklish that
might help

change your life my friends you've got
to change your physiology and you got to
change your focus by the way how fast
can you change that stuff how fast my
friends how fast how fast come on and a
heartbeat once you reach Ange you're
conditioning that's all you got to do
ain't gonna fast you do it a question or
two try this right now answer this
question in your mind and be honest what
in your life today if you want it to be
could you feel proud about right now if
you wanted to feel proud if you didn't
elect I shouldn't be proud if you want
to feel proud what could you be proud of
in your life today your children your
health your body is there a problem
you've faced and instead of running from
it you finally stepped up and handled it
could you feel proud of in your life
today if you wanted to feel proud how
many could bigger something and when you
think about this thing you're proud of
what about that makes you feel proud
what do you focus on that makes you feel
proud how do you breathe when you really
start to feel proud what kind of look on
your face starts to happen when you let
yourself feel proud yeah how does it
feel
hmm
think of another area line think of any
of your life that you're grateful for or
I'm not grateful if you wanted to be
grateful what's an area you could feel
grateful for I think you feel grateful
for if you really wanted to feel great
I'm gonna think of something you can
feel grateful for here's your hands and
what about that are you grateful for
what do you focus on that makes you feel
grateful how does it feel when you're
really truly feeling filled with
gratitude here's one if you wanted to be
excited about your life right now and
you're willing to be excited you wrote a
book everybody else's trend what could
you feel excited about in your life if
you wanted to feel excited what could
you get excited about if you really
focused on it and you really took it in
and you weren't in a negative place what
could you get excited about if you
wanted to be excited in your life what
could you get excited about
[Music]
how many of you can think of something
you feel excited about right now right
um let me see your hand say I when
you're really excited about it what
about that excites you or when you're
really excited how do you feel how do
you speak what's your life like by the
way when you're excited does it tend to
touch other people yes or no absolutely
by the way do people have a tendency but
who feels different right now they're
just even a couple moments ago raise
your hand say aye
why because focus is controlled by
questions if you ask a different
question continuously that once
continuously you will get a different
answer if you ask a lousy question he
get allows the answer in a lousy state
so he said why does this always happen
to me it doesn't always happen to you
but the brains like a computer ask it a
question it'll have to come up with an
answer because you deserve it you idiot
someone will say how come I can never
lose weight you can't lose weight but if
you keep saying how come I can't ever
lose weight the brains gotta come answer
goes you're a pig lousy questions create
what lousy answers ask a better question
get a better answer now here's what I
want you to get I want you to get that
you can change your state how fast guys
how fast how fast and if you get the
habit of doing it you have a different
life
you know any Success Program that I've
ever had the good fortune to go through
whether it be a good book a good set of
tapes a good seminar almost every single
one talks about the power of
goal-setting why because it's a
fundamental key to all lifelong success
plans you could possibly imagine the
challenge of course is we hear it so
often we tend to take it just a little
bit for granted don't we I mean get
yourself in a point where you've heard
it so often you going please don't talk
about goal-setting you know I know all
about it yes I should make sure my goals
are stated in the positive yes I should
write them down yeah I know all that
stuff come on
but you know what you got to be careful
not to get caught in that trap called
the law of familiarity you know where
you get so used to it you begin to take
it just a little bit for granted
cuz fundamentals have to be practiced
daily Hey
think about the greatest coaches that
you can think of and sports history
names that come up for me are names like
Vince Lombardi for example or John
Wooden what were they known most for
teaching fundamentals to people that
were already the best at what they do I
mean think about it John Wooden would
take a basketball player a kid who is
the best in the world at what he does
virtually at least for his age group and
he can make a shot from virtually
anywhere and ego that's really cute kid
get over here and I want you to shoot
four hundred free throws and gets this I
can do that is it yeah well let's see
you do it or come up here and I want to
see you shoot five hundred bank shots
from five feet well I can do that the
kid would say he goes yeah I know you
can do it you're gonna do it every day
this many times so that you do it in the
key clutch moments you got a practice
fundamentals every day he went 11
consecutive national championships
unlike any team in history that's the
power of fundamentals so anytime I do a
workshop any time I try and do tapes
usually I put a goal-setting workshop in
there and some of them have some
similarity say if you've done one with
me before he has a chance to do it again
and do it even more effectively and
variably when I hear people say
something like I'll teach me something
new I know they aren't into mastery
because repetition again is the mother
of skill you've heard me say that over
and over again it's because if you want
a man
to anything you've got to do it over and
over and over again and every time I do
a goal-setting workshop myself I
obviously make new distinctions I set up
some new goals they change so don't take
it for granted and say well these two
tapes are on goals and they're short and
they're simple and I can do that some
other time I already know my goals don't
get caught in that hook the bottom line
is do the exercise as if you're setting
goals brand-new and fresh and for most
people they don't have a clearly defined
set of goals anyway again you know I'm
now taking Taekwondo and I have the good
fortune of training with the Grand
Master of Taekwondo in the United States
his name is Grand Master jewelry an
interesting thing about jewelry as a
master as he taught me something he
taught me to go from the frame of
mastering simple things over and over
again everything he teaches to become a
black belt breaks them as seven simple
moves
isn't that interesting now what's
interesting is he says that most people
never make it to black belt because they
keep coming and say show me something
new he said no no no you have to master
the fundamentals and if you do those you
do them over and over again you'll be a
black belt easily and consistently so
don't get caught in those traps break
through the bonds of your past and look
at the world in a whole new way where
you understand fundamentals must be
practiced daily and you'll do whatever
it takes you're not bored by
fundamentals you get excited about doing
the daily things to create the ongoing
level of happiness enjoy you want for a
lifetime now let's take a quick look
what is the power of goals why don't we
talk about them so much why don't we
want you to use them why are they
important answer with goals we create
the future in advance we create our
destiny we shape our lives hey we all
have goals whether we know it or not the
problem is some people have really lousy
goals and whatever your goals are
they're affecting you maybe your goals
are to get through this day maybe the
goals are how to pay the lousy bills
the problem with goals like that is they
don't exactly inspire you and get you to
jump out of bed early in the morning
saying I can't wait to go out today and
pay my lousy bills rarely does that
really create a motion and drive inside
of you
goals can create the power to make us
grow and expand and develop our success
but we've got to have something out
there that's compelling enough to draw
us forth
done
properly and specifically they transform
our lives one of my best and favorite
examples is a study that was done in
1953 at Yale University what they did
there was an intensive study where they
interviewed the graduating class just
before they left school and they asked
him a whole series of questions but the
one that was most interesting for me was
they asked them how many of you have a
clear specific set of goals with a
written plan for their achievement well
interestingly enough as you might guess
less than 3% had a set of written goals
with a plan 20 years later in 1973 they
went back and interviewed the surviving
class members of the class of 53 and
they interviewed these people to find
out what were their lives like well the
interesting thing was the 3% that had
written goals that specifically had a
plan for their attainment appear to be
happier more well-adjusted more excited
about their life as a whole but see
those things are subjective the one
thing that's very measurable is this the
group of people who had written goals
were worth more in financial terms than
the entire other 97% that didn't have
goals combined think about that that's
the power of goal-setting I can tell you
in my own life it has transformed me
that you can know all the techniques of
how to condition yourself to succeed but
if you don't know why you're doing it
and you don't know what it is you're
moving towards then it's rare that
you're gonna get the most out of
yourself
years ago I had the unique good fortune
as I began to study some of these
technologies for optimum performance I
was invited to go to Russia and I spent
over there approximately two weeks
during that time I got a chance to
explore many aspects of Russia I got to
go to the universities I got to chance
to meet with some of the people who were
involved in optimum performance
technologies and in the process of doing
that I found myself on one stretch where
I was on the trans-siberian railway
where I was going literally from Moscow
all the way to Siberia and then back to
Leningrad again we're talking about a
large stretch of land and a lot of time
to just think during that time I was
just starting to develop some of my
personal power I really hadn't created
my life the way
I wanted it but I felt like there was
some possibilities out there for me I
was still living in my 400 square foot
bachelor apartment I was still
overweight I was still in a position
where I really didn't have my life where
I wanted it in terms of my relationships
but on that trip for two and a half days
all I did was set goals and then for
another two or three days all I did was
design plans and how I was gonna achieve
them and I set goals that were well
beyond my present ability or skill I had
no idea how I was gonna make them happen
and that's important but I operated from
a principle that's talked about and
every religion known to man so
regardless of what you believe
religiously or spiritually it's a common
law and that is the power of absolute
total belief and faith I operated from
the frame that if I could get inspired
enough if I found a goal that I was
exciting enough for me I would figure
out how to make it happen even though it
right now it might seem impossible I
would pull it off and I laid out goals
for my life in virtually every area
personally emotionally socially
spiritually physically financially and I
chunk down what do I want my life
ultimately and what do I want right now
and a lot of areas I thought well I can
make it happen I figured I can get
control of my emotions and so I set
goals about how I wanted to be how I
wanted to communicate how much joy I
want to have how much passion how I want
to live every single day the kind of
person I wanted to be as a human being I
described my relationships I described
the woman of my dreams in detail I took
six pages to describe exactly the kind
of person mentally emotionally socially
and spiritually I wanted my life and
physically described your in detail in
addition and describe to how I wanted my
kids to be I described everything now
you might say well gosh you know you're
really creating a lot of limitations I
set goals and I look at them and then I
review them and see if they still make
sense to me but I did it in detail I
also did it in the area of finances and
I said some pretty absurd goals I
decided I want to make a quarter of a
million dollars a year in personal
income at the time I was making less
than $3,000 a month 3,000 was a good
month guess what happened I came back I
laid out this plan in fact I did the
plan on the
of a map that I bought in Russia have it
to this day
where I broke down the whole thing I
show it often times to people my
seminars so they get an idea where I was
and what I actually created just by
designing the roadmaps necessary for
success I came back and began to
implement it a lot of my plans I have to
tell you did not work out but I achieved
over 80% of my goals in less than 12
months I mean massive change I went well
beyond anything I dreamed of I changed
myself physically I lost all the way I
changed myself emotionally and develop
the confidence that was necessary I
changed myself into my relationships
massively I attracted the one my dreams
I married her about a year after that I
had decided I wanted to have four kids I
got three instantly what a deal I was on
a roll I took myself from totally broke
financially to over a million dollar net
worth in less than 12 months you talk
about massive change my life changed in
every level I mean I can tell you how
much my confidence changed but you know
you might go a big deal
but it did my level of confidence my
level of faith my ability to create
rapport changed radically I mean I also
said Fingal's besides my personal
development goals because I had felt
confident that I could probably
accomplish some of the development
within myself but I felt like I can
control that I can't control the outside
world or my economics or have the
ability to get things that was my
hang-up at the time I set goals for
things like I was gonna have a limousine
a stretch limousine I mean how absurd
I had a car that was breaking down
continuously at a stretch limousine
within six months I mean I'm talking
about massive massive change I mean you
can't imagine the kind of miracles that
happen I know this sounds fluffy and
bizarre but it really works
I remember what first time I went to
Fiji it was my favorite place in the
world
I thought you know I've been everywhere
I've been a most major countries in the
world this is the most beautiful amazing
land I've ever been to you know I gotta
own a piece of property on this specific
Island you know I never would've fought
in a million years the two years later
after setting that goal
I don't island you don't that I own a
resort and amali
it's one of the top three resorts in
Fiji now I go there four times a year
with 20 of my best friends and we all
have a blast and we set our goals there
we look at our lives and balance and
have fun
it's amazing but there's just if you try
to tell me that two years earlier I
would have said you are absolutely
insane you're nuts there's just no way I
mean you know get real I'm here to tell
you don't get real get intelligent
because what's real to you today is
based on your past based on your past
experiences and if you limit your future
based on your past and I can go anywhere
you got to get the goals that are big
enough to drive you to excite you so
don't stop and go how do I do it that's
not the first step the first step is get
it down and if you do that you can
create your island your paradise whether
it be something emotional inside of you
you want to create like a character
change or or a behavior or habit or
whether that's a business you want to
start or when that's some kind of money
you want to earn or something you want
to do for your children and I'm telling
you it can happen the magic that you've
heard about and dreamed about is real
and it starts with a simplistic process
of taking these generalized impulses of
desire and starting to define them with
more precision this is the power of
goal-setting and we don't understand
totally how it works there's something
beyond just what we understand if
writing something down something happens
you become a creator when you write down
goals and you get clear as to absolutely
while you make them happen and by the
way that's the key that we're gonna
touch on here in detail we've got to
make sure that you not only set goals
but you get absolutely clear why you
want them because there's a fundamental
key to goal-setting that changed my life
and that is this purpose is stronger
than outcome what do I mean well I think
that the purpose of goals is not so you
get things the purpose of any goal the
real reason to set goals is what they
will make of you as a person Hey look at
the end of your life all the things that
you accumulate are not gonna make you
happy at the end of your life all you're
gonna have is who you've become as a
person the moment you've created in your
life that you'll never forget so some
people in life they go out and set goals
and they do it blindly they say these
are things I want to have in my life and
they focus let's say on things and
there's nothing wrong with focusing on
things I don't have as many things as
you want that's part of life too that's
part of the manifestation process of
creating results but if all you do is
focus on getting things
it may cost you some people in their
desire to get things have given up their
own integrity of who they want to be of
what they want to create in their life
you got to be careful of that you got to
make sure when you set a goal you know
why you're doing it
hey you might work real hard for example
to do something on a thing oriented
let's say you want to make a million
dollars but see a million dollars only
motivates you so much
becoming the kind of person who is able
to manifest total abundance financially
and physically for themselves and the
people around them that's rather
exciting having the freedom that you
think the money will give you or having
the ability to give or having the
ability to do things that you think that
money will give you are having more time
that'll motivate you a lot more than
just the money does that make sense
the problem with setting goals is one
most people take them for granted they
don't do it seriously and they don't do
it consistently they do it once a year
and they do it at new years they run
another new year syndrome they set a
goal and they don't even look at it to
all year later they go loops I kind of
screwed up and they set a new one so
they have no power
secondly they don't realize the power of
goals they take it lightly you know they
go well you know yeah I got these goals
but they don't make sure that they get
it inside their head where it's
absolutely real for them they don't
realize that when they set a goal
they're now creating something in life
and finally the biggest challenge I
think is that these people don't know
why they're going for their goals so the
object the goal itself yeah they get
enthusiastic for a while and then it
dies out again why is different for
everyone but you got to find out their
reasons I believe this reasons come
first answers come second if you get a
big enough reasons to do something to
accomplish something you can figure out
how to do it but if all you do is set up
a goal and say oh my gosh how am I gonna
about it you're not gonna be inspired
enough it's not going to be compelling
enough for you to really create
long-term results every great success I
know has figure out the why behind their
goals and that's their power so in our
process on the next tape tomorrow when
we do the goal-setting workshop itself
we're gonna spend a good deal of time
focusing on why do we want these goals
after we've identified them and secondly
how we're gonna go about making it
happen but that's secondly we're gonna
start from the frame that
can achieve anything as soon as we think
of it somebody wants to point it out to
me a long time ago the desire in its
latin form means of the father desire I
thought that's interesting in other
words anything that I desire that
thought process has been given to me and
with the ability to have a goal I
believe instantly comes the ability to
achieve it that ability is built within
us or we wouldn't have the desire in the
first place so come from that place and
watch what you can do to create our new
reality of success in your life now I've
got a question for you do you know why
goals really work well there are lots of
theories but I'll tell you what a few of
mine are number one I believe that
thoughts are things that whenever we
focus on consistently we experience in
our life you and I know that's true from
what we've talked about earlier in this
tape that if I pay attention to one area
in my life and I focus on it that's
what's gonna be real for me that's what
I'm gonna feel I also believe that
whatever we focus on consistently that
our thoughts are things that as you
think so you create so you manifest so
part of goal-setting is just by having
that focus and again having a consistent
focus you can't just set goals one time
and then ever look at them again and
really expect long-term results although
hey that's better than not having any
target at all least your subconscious
mind knows the general direction to move
in but the power is doing it
consistently reviewing them but point
number one is I really believe that if
you focus on something you'll experience
it secondly when you set a goal there's
an interesting dynamic that happens and
that is when you set a goal basically
you're acknowledging to both your
conscious and subconscious minds that
where you are right now is not where you
want to be which is you begin to notice
the distinctions between where you want
to be and where you are and as you feel
that distinction your brain becomes
dissatisfied and part of what motivates
human action is a sense of
dissatisfaction
I mean hey when you're totally
comfortable and relaxed feeling pleasure
you're not super motivated to do
whatever it takes to make things happen
generally as a generalization however
when we get dissatisfied that's we got
some real power in fact I tell most
people in life one of the biggest traps
that most people fall into is called
success for a lot of people's successes
trap because what happens is when they
get successful oftentimes
they tend the party when they fail they
tend to ponder and are that pondering
sometimes that make some new
distinctions dissatisfaction is a power
that you want to take advantage of not
something for you to try and hide
yourself out from there is real power
and finding some things you want to move
away from because look pressure is what
creates human behavior pressure and
tension are primary drivers of our
actions I mean think about it on a
ridiculously simple level what makes you
want to eat is it not a certain level
pressure or attention what is it that
makes you want to eliminate during the
day pressure or tension your body it
makes you want to get up and take that
action what makes you want to make love
and be with somebody there's a certain
amount of pressure that creates that
feeling learning to manage pressure and
tension in your life is probably one of
the basic fundamental lessons we all
must master if we really want to have a
balanced life where we really feel happy
and successful but learning to use
pressure and goal-setting is absolutely
critical with literally no pressure to
go for it
we have no motivation and so a certain
amount of pressure is generated when you
clearly define what do you want and you
see that you aren't there it creates a
gestalt where your brain says hey I want
that I'm not satisfied where I am and
you begin to have that drive don't hide
out from it well commit look at it every
single day pressure isn't necessarily
negative it can be very positive again
if you look at it as a tool for
influencing yourself to take consistent
action towards your success you all know
the metaphor don't you I mean pressure
is how diamonds are created they're just
rocks that got under intense pressure
and now that turned into a gym you need
to use that same metaphor for yourself
and use goals as a way of pressuring
yourself cuz I know a lot of people when
they think about goal-setting I said
well you know I don't like commit to
somebody else about this thing because
then I'll feel all this pressure that's
great that is fabulous that means you're
not gonna back out
I mean hey when I decided a year ago I
was gonna work out every single day I
was gonna exercise I realized the best
way to make sure I kept that commitment
was number one understand why
doing it not just salmon exercise to
exercise and I realize in order to
accomplish the level of goals that I
have in my life I need abundance of
physical energy vibrancy so I have
something to communicate with so I have
something that can drive me without that
I've ended up running out of emotional
gas while I'm continually driving up
this mountain called success so I didn't
want to float down running out of fuel
and I decided I'm gonna keep that up
every day and being physically violent
requires a certain level of exercise so
I understood why and I linked it to
having better relationships I linked it
to having more energy for my kids I
linked it to how it feel emotionally I
linked it to my level of physical
vibrancy I linked it to my business
success I linked it to my ability to
contribute to others but I had a lot of
motivation going on there but in
addition what I also did is I use
pressure and I went around and on
several of my programs specifically on
one I do for business people especially
called the powered influence one for
sales people on that program I made it
really clear that the only way to
succeed was demand more from yourself
and other people would expect and that I
had decided and would absolutely
exercise every day of this year I might
reevaluate in the future but I'd do it
this year and I've kept it and I'm
telling you do you do so I have to
commit even more I don't have a way to
turn back do you follow me use pressure
to your advantage use committing to
certain people to your advantage people
that will not let you off the hook
that's part of the why sometimes you
don't feel like doing anymore the only
why is hey coz I don't want to not keep
my word that's okay whatever it takes to
get you to follow through and create
results so this tape today is designed
for primarily only one purpose and that
is to get you clear on the power of
goal-setting what it can do to change
you and the critical element to success
and goals and that is creating a strong
enough Y and enough pressure to follow
through one of the ways we can create is
strong enough why by the way is not just
to write down the positive laws in other
words gosh I want this goal because
it'll give me this and this in my life
or I'll be able to contribute this and
that but in addition I've learned to
create some of the quote unquote
negative why's something I never would
have done years ago I'd say god that's
being a negative person but what I mean
specifically is when I set goals now
I not only write down why I'm absolutely
committed to making that goal in reality
but I also now write down why am I gonna
get this and I do it from the frame of
if I don't achieve this what would it
cost me and I get a list of why's of
prices I'd have to pay not to have the
goal could see what we want to do to get
ourselves to succeed is linked pleasure
to getting the goal and paying to not
getting the goal that way our brain will
be driven to use all of our resources to
make it happen does that make sense to
you
so I know for some of you may sound
negative to say well what would it cost
me if it didn't happen but I think if
you understand how the human brain works
we want to use the carrot and the stick
hey we're in charge we can do this with
anything with ourselves and if we don't
like her goals we can change them at any
time part of the power of goal-setting
is flexibility not just getting stuck
because a years ago you set a goal
reevaluating a saying based on where I
am and now my life is that's still the
right goal for me is that the right
direction I encourage people to set
goals no less than twice a year and I
have them review their goals in detail
at least once a month and review their
top goals daily it is that kind of
consistent review that will keep you on
track and produce those results that
you're committed to so right now the
purpose again today is to get you clear
and how to unleash this power and part
of that power is the power of why why do
you want things on the positive and the
power of being dissatisfied so here's
your exercise for today and then
tomorrow we're gonna actually unleash
you into a goal-setting workshop and you
might want to review and listen this
tape again so you're inspired when you
go to do that exercise because I want
you to really come to life and know
you're about to create real results when
you start that workshop today they'll
pull out your success journal and here's
your assignment what I'd like you to do
is I want you to write down two things
number one what are some of the areas of
your life you are dissatisfied with now
I don't want you to feel bad real
negative about it but just be honest
with yourself what are some of the areas
of your life that are not enough it's
not good enough it's not where you
deserve it to be it's not where you're
committed having it be take a look at
yourself physically emotionally
spiritually intellectually financially
in your relationships so the question I
want you to ask yourself is what's not
good in my life
what am I not satisfied with and get
inspired as you write it down because
whatever you write down you're gonna be
able to change and that's number one and
make a good list of things you're
dissatisfied with that'll create some
pressure inside of you to create some
powerful new goals and number two write
down what kind of beliefs what I have to
have what are a couple of additional
beliefs since we've talked about that
earlier what are two or three other
beliefs then I would probably need to
have in order to really set goals and
achieve them what are two or three new
beliefs I need to live by in order to
really start achieving my goals
that's your simple assignment for today
just leave today with a focus on getting
big enough why's the power of why is the
power to achieve your dreams I'll see
you tomorrow remember live with passion
[Music]
at it and what absolutely exercise every
day of this year I might reevaluate in
the future but I do it this year and
I've kept it and I'm telling it do you
do so I have to commit even more I don't
have a way to turn back do you follow me
use pressure to your advantage use
committing to certain people to your
advantage people that will not let you
off the hook that's part of the why
sometimes you don't feel like doing any
more on the only why is hey cuz I don't
want to not keep my word that's okay
whatever it takes to get you to follow
through and create results so this take
today is designed for primarily only one
purpose and that is to get you clear on
the power of goal-setting what it can do
to change you and the critical element
to success and goals and that is
creating a strong enough Y and enough
pressure to follow through one of the
ways we can create a strong enough Y by
the way is not just to write down the
positive ones in other words gosh I want
this goal because it'll give me this and
this in my life or I'll be able to
contribute this and that but in addition
I've learned to create some of the quote
unquote negative Y something I never
would have done years ago I'd say god
that's being a negative person but what
I mean specifically is when I set goals
now I not only write down why I'm
absolutely committed to making that goal
a reality but I also now write down why
am I gonna get this and I do it from the
frame of if I don't achieve this what
would it cost me and I get a list of
why's of prices I'd have to pay not to
have the goal cuz see what we want to do
to get ourselves to succeed is link
pleasure to getting the goal and pain to
not getting the goal that way our brain
will be driven to use all of our
resources to make it happen does that
make sense to you so I know for some of
you may sound negative to say well what
would it cost me if it didn't happen but
I think if you understand how the human
brain works we want to use the carrot
and the stick hey we're in charge we can
do this with anything with ourselves and
if we don't like our goals we can change
them at any time part of the power of
goal-setting is flexibility not just
getting stuck because a years ago you
set a goal we
saying based on where I am and now my
wife is that's still the right goal for
me is that the right direction I
encourage people to set goals no less
than twice a year and I have them review
their goals in detail at least once a
month and review their top goals daily
it is that kind of consistent review
