Don't you just love winning?

I hate losing with a passion, but I love winning over and over and over again.

Seriously, if I could just go through life winning everything and never losing, I would be one happy brother.

I'm assuming that you would love to get more "W's" in your life and decrease your "L's".

So, let me reveal the steps you need to take in order to be a winner.

Before you take any actions , you need to have an idea of what actions need to be taken in order to reach your desired result.

Simply put, if you take the actions of a winner, you will get the outcome of a winner. If you take the actions of a loser, you will get the outcome of a loser.

So, you need to sit down and write out the steps you need to take in order to become a winner.

Now, if you don't know what actions you need to take in order to become a winner I'm going to help you out with that.

The actions you wrote down are probably an underestimation of what you actually have to do in order to be a winner. What you need to do is double or even triple the amount of actions you first thought were necessary to be a winner.

Now at first glance you probably think that doubling or tripling the amount action you take will lead to exhaustion or overworking, but that is just fear and anxiety clouding your thoughts.

Right now you're just writing down the actions you need to take, this is no time to get emotional about the amount of effort it will require to take the actions.

After you have written down the actions of a winner, you need to figure out how you can reach those actions in a timely manner.

So for example, if you decide to begin a 50 pushups per day challenge, you should go for 100 pushups instead. If you're not an athletically gifted person, you will probably have a hard time cranking out 20 pushups, so as of now 100 pushups is out of reach.

Now, there is no problem with starting small and working your way up. Actually, that is the only way to do it. If you can't do 100 pushups as of today, there is no magic phrase, or pill that will make you do 100 pushups instantly.
The only way to reach 100 pushups is to do as much pushups as you can and then increase the amount of pushups you do each day until you reach 100.

That is exact approach you need to take with any goal and you need to push yourself past your limits and take actions associated with a goal much higher ( which is why I said you need to double or triple the amount of actions you take towards your goal). The idea is to push yourself passed your original goal, so that if you were to come up short you would still end up achieving your goal.

Get it?

Another important part of reaching the action levels of a winner is to be consistent and disciplined with doing so.


That means you need to make it a discipline to take the actions of a winner on a daily basis without fail. You also need to have a reason "why" you're taking these actions or else you will end up quitting at the first sign of resistance.

Motivation plays a big part in the amount of action you take, so if you're not motivated to reach your goal, you probably won't reach it. You need to figure out a way to get motivated and stay motivated on a daily basis to take the actions of a winner.

So, to sum it all up, you need to decide upon the actions of a winner, double or triple those actions, work your way up to those actions, and stay consistent and motivated throughout the process.

If you can follow that formula, you will be a winner.

If you can't follow that formula, you'll probably end up a loser.

Which one do you choose?

      You're right you can burnout, but that usually comes along when you run out of motivation to keep going. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you were able to stay highly motivated every day, would you ever experience burnout?

      So, it is important to find reasons to keep going, especially when you experience minimum to no results in the beginning.

      One of my biggest daily motivators for every goal I set is the fact that if I don't achieve my goal, nobody will achieve it for me, therefore, that leaves me no option other than to achieve my goal.

    so if my goal is to have one smoking hot girlfriend ..i should really aim to have two or three ?


    or are there exceptions to the formula for winning ?

    isn't it better to set goal that can be achieved and then set higher goals .

    or is this dogma of shooting much highers just there so most people will fail .. or not even bother ..

    great for the motivational and goal setting book writers .. a pile of crap for the readers .

    if someone set a goal to do 50 pushups a day say great do 50.. but are you no even worse than a dream stealer ... if you go through someone elses goal and tell them non of them are good enough .

    gut or girl hits 50 then ask them if they thing they can do a hundred .. because if they set the hundred and only get to 50.. many times they may quit out of frustration and stop all together .

    it the winning forumula only the winning formula because it is designed to make most people fail .

      I don't think you get where I'm going with this, so I'll try to make it more clear. Most people set a goal and don't reach it because they underestimate the amount of effort it takes to reach that goal.

      So, if I set my goal towards getting 1 girlfriend, I'll probably talk to a girl here and there and hope for the best, but if I set my goal to three girlfriends, I would obviously have to increase my effort. So, if I'm aiming for three girlfriends, while taking the actions necessary to get three girlfriends and I come up short, I'll probably still end up with one girlfriend which is what I wanted originally.

      Make sense?

      Like Jonathan 2.0 said, you can only fail if you give up. So, therefore your definition of failing is completely different from my definition of failing. The whole point I'm trying to get across is if you set a goal at exactly what you want, you probably are going to underestimate the amount of effort it takes to reach that goal. So, instead of setting that goal, aim for something greater and take the actions associated with that greater goal. Then if you come up short you will still end up reaching your original goal or better (as long as you don't give up).

        i understand what you mean just after 15 years of reading goal setting stuff ..i don't think it works .

        case in point i am over on the other side of the planet from where i lived for 36 years .. because i thought i could make do on 1 k a month ..now i actually could do it here ..but now that i feel much better i want to live a little.

        now if i had doubled or tripled the goal .. i would still be back living miserably..where i was . and now i know i need 2-3k month income ..to live the way i want to live and have a pretty girlfriend .

        so the goal i really need is 2-3k after taxes ..

        but the winning formula you say is i should really aim for 4-6 or 6-9 k a month .

        and when i come back to the states i plan to walk an hour a day ..and know exactly how i can pull that off ..

        but the winning formula says i should shoot for 2-3 hours of walking ..

        there is a remedy for not knowing exactly how much effort is involved .

        a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step then another..and i do no think it help any in taking that first step to turn the journey into a 2 or 3 thousand mile journey.

        do you understand what i am saying

        i have lost 12-15 lost 15 pounds in the last 5 weeks after nearly 6 years of constant gaining ..and the last year holding steady between 250-255 .

        i am down to a low in the day of 239 .i want to lose another 40pounds .. but it will take a while ..


        again the winning formula say i should aim for 80 or 120 pounds

        if you want to go to las vegas you don't aim for getting to L.A.

          I think tvon's approach will work for people similar to him and have developed similar "Personality traits."

          For most people though, probably not. Many people, in fact, have trouble even getting started especially after a "setback." Personally, I prefer Will Smith's advice to: "Lay one brick at a time." (And soon you'll have a house.)

            if your traits include normally underestimating the amount of effort involved to get everything you do done .. doubling and tripping the goal to get your original goal..and not fail like you failed getting the bigger goal .

            the reason 90 percent of people don't get started is they over complicate what it really takes to do something and talk down their own abilities .

            so if they come up with a goal they think they can reach .. they could probably do double or triple or ten times that.. but is you don't let them and you convince them to double or triple it before they start .. they won't start .

              I agree that it's not the best approach: It would certainly take more discipline and determination to do it that way. (IMO.)

                successful people tend to have goal that are written down and they achieve .. when they achieve a goal they then set new ones .

                so a formula "the winning formula " that means people are not setting goal they feel they can achieve ..but going far beyond that..and failing..even if they get to where the original goal was going to be.. they will feel like they failed and give up ..

                or anyone around them will harp on the failure .

                and no one will accept the excuse ..well i got what i originally set out to get .

                no man you failed you loser ..

                setting goals you can't achieve from where you are .. is not a good strategy ..unless you have a real good sense for the points you need to hit in between .

                set goals you can achieve ..achieve them set more goals .

                set goals you can not accept not achieving .

                  The whole point of setting a larger goal is to get you to think bigger and act bigger. If you think bigger and act bigger than your original goal, don't you think your chances of achieving the original goal will sky-rocket?

                  All I'm proposing is a different way of achieving goals if the typical way of doing it is not working.

                    at the start it is better to be reasonable and if you have never set goals before set goal you can achieve then set bigger ones .

                    you can have a long term goal of owning ten restaurants..but starting out most have to learn the business from another chef and run a restaurant for someone else .


                    we probably agree a lot more than we disagree ..

                    tiger woods started playing golf almost from the time he could walk .

                    you have to be unreasonable if your doing things people have not done before..but you need to make a reasonable argument that it can be done .

                    and if you have a bad habit of underestimating or over estimating the actions needed to do something ..it probably ..because you have a much worse habit of not seeking advice from people qualified to give it..so you are making plans of uneducated guessing .

                    that is not a habit that over the long term will help you with bigger and bigger levels of success . that is habitual incompetence...and should be fixxed .

                      Well, of course Steve Jobs started off small that is the only way to start but his goal was to "put a ding in the universe". If he was thinking small I highly doubt he would've reached the success he was able to reach in his lifetime.

                      Oprah was supposed to become a house maid like her grandmother, but she decided to shoot for a bigger goal (she wanted to be a teacher) which was very unreasonable for a African American woman in the 1950s.

                      Michael Jordan was cut from his basketball team not because of talent (a player of lesser talent actually made the team because of his 6'6 height). Michael Jordan was cut because the coach wanted him to get more playing time on the lower level of jv. Despite being cut, Michael Jordan made a goal of becoming a starter on the varisty team the following year and he made that happen because he knew the amount of effort it would take to make the varsity team, but to be a starter on the varsity team would take even more effort.

                      I do agree that in most instances you have to start small and work your way up, but by setting higher goals, you will think bigger, and act bolder than if you were to set goals at the minimum.

                      To make it 100% clear I'm not saying to abandon your original goal completely, I'm saying to think and act in a way associated with a higher goal.

                        here is where we agree completely.

                        we have to start somewhere ..and that start for most tends to be a small start ..the key is to build life long momentum .

                        i have had to crawl out of severe burn out ..mental break down.. total emotional wreck, near disabled physical condition. big chunk of debt no income ..no skills or idea how to earn money , a lifetime of condition from those around me that i was pretty much useless . and incapable of anything . My mother would even stand next to me up to a few years ago.. as i was loading the dishwasher and tell me i was loading it wrong .


                        inch by miserable inch over the last three years i have crawled slowly out of that ..pretty much alone with out any support ..and with family taking the wind out of my sails when i started to feel to good ..

                        so now i am completely out of debt , without medical treatment i have my rapid cycling bi polar disorder under control . i have managed to regenerate a healthy spine and back from what was probably compressed or hernetied disks that where possibly arthritic.

                        each of these had to be done little by little ..

                        as when i was reading the goal setting book and setting those bigger than they needed to be at the time goals ..the failures seemed to just add another problem or a bit more debt .. or another bill that stressed me out to pay .

                        thats in the past .. i learned my lessons the hard way .

                        it really depends where you are in life ..if you are young you probably underestimate the effort involved ..if you are over 25 .. you probably over estimate the effort involved .

                        by 25 most people have been turned into human bonsai trees ..pruned down to accepting a fraction of their potential ..and fully in charge of the pruning sheers .

                        ever here about the interview with that old lady who picked the car up of her son and saved his life ..and i watched a documentary on how she did it .. it wasn't one lift ..she had to lift the car up several times over a many minutes .

                        when asked a year or two after .. i don't know the exact time scale ..she said she did not like to think about it ..because it made her think of what she may have been able to do through her life that she never gave herself the chance to do ..

                        not an exact quote ..

                        maybe i am a huge hypocrite on this because after all .. my main goal the last two years after never being able to financially swing getting out of my parents house ..was just flat out moving to the other side of the planet ..i have never been out of the country or off the east coast ..and i have no income ..

                        so maybe having a few of these really out there goals .. that you tell people and they think you are F#$%^%#g nutts ..is actually great .. while having most of your other goal attainable ..but supportive of the bigger goal .

                I agree that it is not for the faint of heart, but for those of you who hate losing, and want to be a winner, but you're not achieving your goals, you may want to try something different.

          now if i had doubled or tripled the goal .. i would still be back living miserably..where i was . and now i know i need 2-3k month income ..to live the way i want to live and have a pretty girlfriend .

          so the goal i really need is 2-3k after taxes ..

          but the winning formula you say is i should really aim for 4-6 or 6-9 k a month .

          and when i come back to the states i plan to walk an hour a day ..and know exactly how i can pull that off ..

          but the winning formula says i should shoot for 2-3 hours of walking ..

          there is a remedy for not knowing exactly how much effort is involved .

          a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step then another..and i do no think it help any in taking that first step to turn the journey into a 2 or 3 thousand mile journey.

          do you understand what i am saying

          i have lost 12-15 lost 15 pounds in the last 5 weeks after nearly 6 years of constant gaining ..and the last year holding steady between 250-255 .

          i am down to a low in the day of 239 .i want to lose another 40pounds .. but it will take a while ..


          again the winning formula say i should aim for 80 or 120 pounds

          if you want to go to las vegas you don't aim for getting to L.A.
          Well, I guess we can agree to disagree.

          The only way you can be a winner in life is to achieve your goals, if you never achieve your goals, you won't feel like a winner no matter how much you persevere.

          I'm trying to get people to reach their full potential. Most people will make a small goal because they don't want to fail or they want to be reasonable, but what this does is it places limits on what they're truly capable of.

          Most people who have done great things in this world, used a similar formula to what I'm presenting whether they know it or not. Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, and Oprah just to name a few.

          All three of those examples set, unreasonable goals and took unreasonable actions to get where they are now.

          I guess Johnathan 2.0 is right in the sense that the winning formula only works for those who have similar traits as myself (those who want to be great not just good).

          Also I do agree with you Odahh in the fact that the winning formula does not need to be applied to every situation. It can be used for the things that you really want to achieve, but probably you're having a hard time achieving it or if you want to make sure you're not underestimating the amount of effort it takes to reach your goal. Making money online is a good example. If your goal is to make $500 a month, you're probably going to underestimate the effort it takes to make $500 a month because that is a very moderate income. If you double or even triple that amount to $1,500, I bet you would make more efforts and work harder to reach that goal, which you might not reach but at the very least you will reach your first goal of $500.

          Or maybe you're looking for a job and you can't find one. If you changed your goal to getting 3 jobs, wouldn't that require you to take more action, which would increase your chances of reaching your original goal of 1 job?


          At the end of day, nobody gets credit for being a winner if they don't win. If you set a realistic goal and you don't achieve it, you lose. If you set a unrealistic goal (or an overachieving goal) and you don't reach it, you will at the very least end up reaching your original goal, and I would like to think that most people would rather the latter than the former.

    If you set goals and accomplish them (no matter how small or large) then you could call yourself a "winner."

    Actually, in my opinion, if you keep trying and trying and trying (regardless of the results) and you simply refuse to quit, then you're also a "winner." And, eventually, you will succeed.

    Just my opinion. : )

    P.S.
    One of my favourite quotations at the moment (from Joseph Sugarman) which I found through LOA is:

    "It's not whether you win or lose in life that's important but whether you play the game. Lose enough and eventually you will win. It's only a matter of time."
    Signature
    "Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity."―Joseph Sugarman

    Cool post. Especially when you talked about underestimating the work you need to do.

    My favorite part of the achievement process is when you realize what actually needs to be done to achieve your goal, and are excited for it!

    Excellent post. A lot of core values to winning are here, I think.

    Discipline is such a big factor in everything we do, yet so many people over look it and lack proper education in what it really is and means! Coming from the military, it means a lot more than snapping to attention when told!

    Writing down goals, figuring out your map, and coming up with actions to get there is crucial.

    Good tips in here, to anyone whether marketeer or athlete. Winning doesn't come by chance.
