This is why you really want to fail!
What I mean by that is that you are out of sync. what you say you want and what you actually want are two very different things. For example you say you want to lose weight but what you really want is to eat that extra bit of cake and sit on your arse.
You say you want to be a successful business owner but you do not read what successful business owners read, watch what they watch or act how they act.
(You might actual read the book but you will never do anything about it)
You just like to talk about it.
I may be saying "YOU" but in reality I am guilty of doing the same thing at times.
We say we want this and that but our actions tell a different story. We come up with amazing business idea's that we tell our friends and family about. We get very excited but
3 months later we haven't done a damn thing about it.
We make excuses that life got in the way or now we have an even better idea.
So why do we keep on Bullshitting ourselves?
It's because TALKING about it gives us a feeling that we have actual done it.
That's why we mentally masturbate over the latest WSO or latest guru launch when in reality it boils down to build audience, give value and sell shit. Optimize and get a better return on investment.
But that stuff isn't sexy. How has the loophole $500 buck a day method worked for you so far?
Talking about it is exciting, dreaming about what your life will be like when you have the perfect body or that million dollar business is fun and it makes us feel good but doing the actual work, doing what it takes to get those things is hard, tedious and not so much fun
So our powerful super computer of a brain doesn't like these feelings and pushes us back to just thinking and dreaming about it because that feels good
So I urge you to get in sync.
Make your actions match what you want to accomplish. Want to build that business? Study people who have done what you want to do and take one step forward each day. You do not need to map out the whole journey just know where you want to go and take a small step forward each and everyday to that goal.
It's just like when you are driving home at night. You know where you want to go but the headlights only allow you to see 20 yards ahead but each time you move forward more
road opens up to you. You cannot see they whole journey but you make it home each
night.
It's the same thing. Move towards your goals and dreams and enjoy the journey.
Each time you are about to do something ask yourself this simple question.
"Is what I'm about to do bringing me closer to my goals or taking me away from them?"
Hold yourself accountable.
A great app that I just started using is helping me stay on track with all area's of my life. I input repeatable daily tasks that if I follow will ultimately take me that step closer each day to my ultimate goals.
The one I use is called "Goal Tracker & Habit List" I am an android user it's free and I am sure there are others that do the same thing.
The habits I currently have in are:
- Meditate for at least 10 minutes
- 5 minute journal
- move body for at least 30 minutes
- Message my tribe (email list)
- Complete 1 main task that will move my business forward
- Read / Study for at least an hour
- Plan the following day
The idea is to get multiple little wins throughout the day and celebrate them. I do have more on my to do list but if I complete at least one major task I can be happy. I will usually hit the gym for an hour but if I am not really feeling it instead of beating myself up I can go for a half hour walk but at least I am continually moving towards my ultimate goal.
I hope you get something out of this rant / article lol.
Please share any method you may use to keep yourself on track and moving towards your goals.
