How to Achieve Your Biggest Goals Without Burning Out

I don't know why it's so hard for people to set goals, but most people suck at doing it. And it's not that hard. You just have to discipline yourself to sit down and set the goals. So try this exercise. I think I saw this from, maybe it was Brian Tracy or someone. And it's just an awesome discipline and it works really well. And what you do is you take out a piece of paper and you write out your goals, write out about 10 goals, 10 goals that you want to accomplish within the next year. And you write it out in the present tense. You know, I have this, you know, I weigh this, you know, I've accomplished that. And when you lay out 10 goals in front of you, you want to basically look around that list and see one of them that kind of pops out. The one that you feel if you were to accomplish it in the next couple days, would have the biggest impact on your life. And it's really important because when you do that, typically one does bubble up. And when you have one that sticks out, that will have a huge impact on your life. You put that on a different, different piece of paper and you brainstorm out all the things that have to happen. All the things you have to do in order to accomplish that goal doesn't mean that you have to do them. You might eventually, but you're trying to just brainstorm out and you don't just make that list and then stop. You just, you keep digging. Usually, you know that 10, 15, 20 thing you put on there, that's the smoking gun. And it's something that you had to really work really hard to kind of come up with. Once you have this long list of things that you need to do in order to accomplish this big goal that you want, you then prioritize your list and you just make sure that each day you do something and that's it. Again, it's not rocket science. It's just taking baby steps towards a bigger goal. Where people fail is they set this big goal and because they don't do anything, the next day, they give up on it. This is why gyms and memberships to, you know, health, health places will die after about 30 days, after new Year's Eve, because most people quit and they don't, they give up. They say they want to lose 20 pounds and because they didn't lose 20 pounds, they give up on it. And the goal would be to come up with, you know, 20 to 30 to 40 different little things like drinking more water, doing push ups every day, going for a walk. Things that are easy and, you know, more common sense versus being able to, like, you know, you know, take on the whole world in the first week. And when you are able to move forward and do little things each day, they compound over time where you just start to start to see things and opportunities appear in your life and you get closer and closer and closer to your goal. Again, you're not necessarily trying to reach that, that goal on day one. You're trying to hit your, your baby steps. Think of it like a ladder. You're just climbing rung by rung, and there's just no way for you to jump rungs. You have to just take step by step. So again, write down your goals. You know, if you had one of them and it was going to have the biggest impact on your life. Transfer that onto a different piece of paper. Brainstorm out all the different things that have to happen that you want to be able to accomplish in order to hit that goal. Prioritize that list and then just take action and make sure you're doing something daily in order to hit that goal.
