Sometimes, we just don’t know enough about what we are trying to achieve. Stuart Wilde

The most common information my clients want to know is…

How can I get my goals achieved?

If you had to guess, what would you say that the answer is? If you guessed that you have to determine what you want, you are right. The funny thing is most people fail to
to do this step right and so they don’t focus on what they truly desire to achieve.

So, how do you determine if you are clear about what you want?

Easy! Can you tell me in 2 to 3 sentences what it is that you want to achieve and why you want to achieve it? If you can, then congratulations, you are well on your way. But be careful here, make sure you are compelling to yourself when you say what you want and why you want it.

Start by asking yourself what it is that you want.
Let’s say you want to be rich. Excellent. So, what does rich mean to you. Is it having a certain amount of money? A particular type of life? A particular possession?

Next, ask yourself why you want this. Let’s say that you’ve established that rich, to you, means having $1,000,000. Ok. Why do you want this $1,000,000? I am sure that you do not want to simply amass bank notes. What do you want this money for? Is it that you want to exchange the money for luxury vacations, or to become debt free, or buy the home you always dreamed of…go ahead, you fill in the blanks.

What’s next… now that you know What you want and Why?

Yes, you are right if you said that you ask how it makes you feel to achieve this goal. Put yourself in that picture. Think about you with the achieved goal. What is it like to have it? Understand how it makes you feel means getting to the essence of what and why you want the goal.

What exactly is essence?

Essence is the intrinsic properties that serve to characterize something. Achieving the particular goal that you want gives you security, happiness, joy or confidence. Take the time to identify the intrinsic properties of your goal achieved.

You know that doing what you’ve always done gets you more o what you already have…undesirable result.

Skimp on getting clear and get more of what you have…Unrealized Goals. We both know you don’t want that! So, go ahead ask yourself 3 simple questions:
1) What is your goal? Be specific!
2) Why do you want to achieve this goal?
3) How will your life be different when you achieve it?

Invest the time and get clear about what you want up front. Remember that, sooner or later, you will need to do this anyway.

Live with Passion!
