How to Change Your Life in the Next 12 Months

Did you know that having a sound goal setting template that you can easily follow is one of the greatest tools to help fulfill your dreams and attaining anything that you desire in life?

You may also may or may not be aware that every super successful person follows some form of goal setting template to attain the level of success that they have.

This is an absolute fact:  Remember, you cannot hit a target that you do not have.

That is why goals are so important to the success of any person, organization or business.

Now, one thing that I have learned is that some people find it difficult hit the mark and achieve their goals simple because of the specific type of goals that they have set.

Now I’m not talking about the actual end result here; I’m actually referring to the length of time of the goal.

Too many people set their sights on the bigger long term goals rather than taking small steps first and aiming for something in the short term.  It’s like putting the horse before the cart. Conquering smaller goals is what will actually get you to the bigger end product.

So it all comes down to the actual goal setting template that you create that will lay out the first and successive steps to get you to that bigger picture. Having a smart goal setting template is extremely important, especially if you want to actually achieve what you desire.

Well you’re in luck today because I’m going to share with you a goal setting template that you can use when setting your goals that will actually help you realize your dreams much quicker than you can imagine.

The only requirement that I have is that you keep an open mind.

So, with that said, let’s get on with the show.

1. Decide exactly what you want your long term goal to be

This is what is going to set the ball rolling and it is the most important part in the goal setting process.

Deciding what you want will set the stage for the rest of the process. Make your long term goal to be within the next 12 months.

What is it that you ultimately want to end up with?

Is it a certain level of income or something tangible like a new home or a new car? Or maybe you want to start a successful online business or maybe even an old fashioned brick and mortar business. Maybe you want to increase your sales by a certain percentage or maybe find the relationship of your dreams.

These are all great goals but just remember that this is the bigger picture; the ultimate end result.

The key to this first step in the template is to be extremely specific right down to the size, color etc.

Now you need to start at the beginning and plan out the steps you will take to get there. But before that, there is something very important that you need to decide…

2. Make sure you really want the goal

This part is going to take a minute but it is one of the most important parts to the goal setting template.

Did you ever hear the phrase “watch what you ask for because you just might get it”?

I have had to face this reality so many times. I set a goal and then achieve that goal only to figure out that it really wasn’t what I wanted.

Do you really want the brand new BMW or do you just want the financial freedom to buy one if you felt like it.

Ahhhh….. This is where goal setting gets interesting.

If you don’t really, really want that new luxury automobile then you will find yourself stuck with an outrageous insurance premium, oil changes that cost $100, repairs that cost a fortune and you’ll also find yourself parking out in BFE at the grocery store so your car doesn’t get hit by a runaway shopping cart. Don’t forget if you live in the snow-belt you may even find yourself buying another beater for the winter because you don’t want the salt to rust your ultimate driving machine.

Get the picture?

I remember back when I wanted a new BMW and a brand new Honda motorcycle.

Or at least I thought I wanted them.

I would dream about them every day and couldn’t wait until the day came when they were sitting in my driveway.

Well that day never came because after my personal training business really took off and I started to make some real money, I quickly realized that it wasn’t really the car or the bike that I wanted.

For me it was actually financial security; the ability and the freedom to purchase them if I wanted.

Just knowing that I had the money to buy either of these two machines was all I really wanted. That was the goal that I should have set from the beginning but I didn’t know any better at the time.

Let me give you another great example.

I did the same thing when I started my personal training business in the first place. I was sick and tired of being broke and tired; slaving away in restaurants and factories. All I wanted was to be self employed and do something that I absolutely love to do and make a living out of it.

Bodybuilding and Fitness is one of my passions so I followed that dream. I became a personal trainer and started my own training business.

It wasn’t long before I exceeded even my own expectations and business was booming.

Over the years I came to realize a few things though.

Although the money was absolutely great, it was the lifestyle that really got to me. I became pretty tired of spending 14 hours a day at the gym loading and unloading 45lb. plates.

I also became pretty tired of clients dictating my schedule. 5am workouts are really no fun; especially after your last client was at 9pm the night before.

So I sat down and re-evaluated my goals.

What did I really, really want?

Freedom.

To be specific, financial freedom and also the personal freedom to work whenever I wanted for as long as I wanted.

I also wanted to freedom to spend time with my wife and family that I didn’t have before.

And how would I achieve this?

Internet marketing.

So after I came to realize what I really wanted, my whole goal setting strategy changed.

So before you go any further, take out a sheet of paper and write down all of the pros and cons of achieving the particular goal that you set for yourself.

This will help you decide if this is what you really, really want and will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

Be sure to really go into detail about the effects that achieving this particular goal will have on your life.

How will it affect the people around you?

How will it affect your lifestyle?

Also be sure that your end goal will actually help to enrich your life and the lives of others. If your goal isn’t really going to make your life or the lives of others any better, then the heck with it; set something else.

3. The Goal Setting Template: Start Writing Down Your Goals

Now that you know what your long term goal is, the next part of this goal setting template consists of writing down the steps that you need to take to get you there.

Look at it like a ladder. Each step will get you higher up and ultimately you will get to where you want to go.

Break your long term goal down into the following steps:

• Ultimate Goal

• Daily goals

• Weekly goals

• Monthly goals

With this particular goal setting template, you don’t need to go any further than a month. Your goals are going to change along the way depending on how far you get in a month.

As long as you know the end result, your long term goal, you have the most important part of the template laid out.

Let’s look at an example:

Goal: $120,000 income in the next 12 months

If your goal is to earn a 6 figure income within the next 12 months then you need first take a good look at how much you need to earn each month, week and day to accomplish this:

120,000 / 12 = approximately $10,000 per month.

That equates to approximately $2,308 per week (52 weeks per year) and $330 per day (365 days per year).

I say approximately because you have to remember that there are 52 weeks and 365 days in a year so there will be some bias when going from monthly goals to weekly and daily goals etc.

So now that you have your tangible goals set out it’s now time to move on to the actual steps in the template:

Step 1:

How are you going to make $120,000 in the next 12 months?

This is where you are going to use the power of your subconscious mind to help you get the job done.

Let’s say you are in sales and are paid on a commission basis.

Take out a yellow notepad and write out at the top:

“How can I easily make $120,000 in the next 12 months?”

Then just brainstorm and write out anything that comes to your mind. Don’t think about it or try to do anything.

Just write down anything and everything that comes to your mind.

Let your subconscious do the work for you.

Do this exercise for about 15-20 minutes or until you have exhausted all of your resources. You will be amazed at what you can come up with.

Step 2:

This step will be performed at the beginning of every month.

Take another page in your notepad and write out the following:

“How can I easily make $10,000 this month?”

Again, write out anything and everything that comes to your mind. In this step you will break down and expand on anything that you have written down in step 1.

Step 3:

This step will be performed at the beginning of every week.

Take another page in your notepad and write out the following:

“How can I easily make at least $2,500 this week?”

Again, write out anything and everything that comes to your mind. In this step you will break down and expand on anything that you have written down in step 2.

Do this exercise for about 10-15 minutes or until you have exhausted all of your resources.

Step 4:

This step will be performed at the beginning of each and every day and is the most important and most effective step that will change your life forever.

I can guarantee that if you follow this exercise daily you will dramatically change your life over the next 12 months.

I do mean dramatically!

I personally do this exercise every morning and it has helped me take my life to a whole new level both personally and financially.

You are going to use a new yellow notepad for this one.

Write down the following at the top of the page:

“How can I easily make at least $330 today?”

Now write out anything and everything that comes to your mind. In this step you will break down and expand on anything that you have written down in step 3.

Do this exercise for about 10-15 minutes or until you have exhausted all of your resources.

Perform this exercise every single day first thing in the morning.

Now Get Going!

Remember that you can use this goal setting template for anything that you desire whether it is a financial goal, a relationship goal or a fitness goal.

The bottom line is that this goal setting template works wonders and if you follow the daily goal setting exercise you can literally achieve anything!

Now make like Nike and “Just Do It!”

Be Unstoppable!
Yours in Success,

Learning from failure is one of the greatest secrets of success and one of the best ways that you can guarantee you will achieve your goals.

Why?

Because by making mistakes you actually learn what to do; learn from your failure and then correct your course. Learning from failure is also one of the best ways to inspire you and give you the hunger you need to succeed that will lead you to your ultimate achievements.

What were they thinking?

I recently read an article online that learning from failure is overrated, claiming that:

“You don’t learn anything from mistakes or failure, only what not to do and that you will only make different mistakes the next time.”

I couldn’t disagree with the author more.

First off, learning what not to do is still learning, isn’t it?

Exactly my point, and a valuable one at that. Learning what not to do is just as important, if not more important, as learning what to do.

Learning from failure will eventually lead you to the answer you are looking for. If Edison hadn’t failed 10,000 times then what do you think would have become of his invention?

Learning form failure and making mistakes also lets you know when you finally get it right.

Remember those horrible relationships that you had? All failures, right?

When you finally found the relationship of your dreams you knew that this was it because you had something to compare it to. Think about what would have happened if you never screwed up. You would not appreciate what you have now and might not ever know what good is because you never knew what bad is.

Personally I never knew anyone who actually got it right the first time. It takes years of making mistakes up to finally realize your potential at anything. Life is learning experience history tells this so.

The author of the article was looking at the statement from the inside the box. If you take a step outside you will see the bigger picture.

You have to be hungry!

One of the greatest advantages of learning from your failures is that of hunger. Now I’m not talking when your stomach is rumbling and you are thinking about heading down to your local pizza shop for lunch. No, I’m talking about that intense burning desire that you get after you have experienced defeat.

So many times after gaining the championship belt, a boxer will eventually lose his title to an up and coming fighter. Why? He loses his hunger. He rested on his laurels and got comfortable.

Not until he gets knocked out and loses his belt will he want more than anything to avenge his loss and regain his crown. He will he be hungry again and go on to even greater accomplishments than before. The boxer may even go undefeated after that.

Let’s take another example.

Have you ever failed financially or in business a business venture?

If you did then you learned what not to do and then you became extremely hungry to avenge your loss and then succeed. The fact is that you learned. The other fact is that you became more driven than ever to succeed. Failing your way to success is a two part process; first discovering what doesn’t work and then figuring out what does work and become resolved to conquer your mountain.

I remember back when I dug myself into $30,000 in personal credit card debt. This was “real” personal debt that I had accumulated for costs of living during my transition from a job to self employment, not a loan that I took out to start a business.

It was failure at its best but it made me hungry.

I became:

1. Determined to dig myself back out again without filing for bankruptcy
2. Resolved to never again experience this kind of financial situation

Believe it or not I succeeded in my endeavor and came out with a lot more than just being debt free.

This form of failure helped me to realize a lot about myself that I didn’t know before. I realized that I had more discipline and determination than I thought and also the ability to create a sound plan and then carry it out successfully.

I also learned that no matter how bad things look, there is a way out if you put your mind to it.

Through this process, I also overcame many financial fears that I had within me.

In the end, I paid off every single penny of my debt in 2 years and came out stronger than ever.

This led me to becoming successful in my business and it made me realize my true potential in attaining wealth.

What’s the secret formula for success?

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” Thomas J. Watson

The proof is in the puddin’.

This is what almost all successful people have in common.

They learn from failure.

That’s right; just about every single successful person in history attained their status by failing miserably at some point in their careers. Some have even failed several times and more. The point is that they learned from their failures and then became hungry again to go down in history as some of the greatest in their field.

• Michael Jordan was cut from the basketball team his sophomore year. He then went on to be one of the (if not the) greatest basketball players of all time.

• Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times in his career. That’s almost twice the number of home runs that he hit. His attitude says it all in this quote: “Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.”

• Fred Smith, founder of Federal Express, received a C for his project outlining his vision for an overnight delivery service during his stint at Yale University. Smith actually carried out this “C” project to fruition and FedEx is now a multi-billion dollar company.

• Thomas Edison failed thousands of times during his journey of revolutionizing the lighting industry as we have come to know it today. He performed around 10,000 experiments before he finally figured it out.

• Harland Sanders, better known as Colonel Sanders and founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, had a chicken recipe the was rejected 1,009 times before someone finally gave it a chance. That’s right; he knocked on over 1,000 doors and didn’t stop until someone said yes. Can you say perseverance?

• Soichiro Honda, founder of Honda Motor Company, was actually turned down for a position as an engineer for Toyota and was left jobless for many years. He then dealt with many failures after that in his path to becoming the most successful motorcycle manufacturer in the world and later breaking into the automobile industry.

• Donald Trump, the legendary real estate tycoon, declared business bankruptcy in 1991 after being unable to pay back a 3.5 billion dollar loan. Not long after that Trump Plaza Hotel folded and once again, Trump declared bankruptcy. Despite his mistakes, Donald Trump continuously learns what not to do and bounces back time and time again.

The key is in correcting your course

Did you know that in the course to its destination, an airplane is actually off-course 99% of the time? It is the pilot’s job to continuously correct the path of the plane in order to finally reach the final destination.

This is the exact same way that you will reach your goal. You will be off course most of the time, experiencing failure and setbacks, and you will have to continuously correct yourself back on track.

This is what setbacks are all about.

Failure tells you that you are off course and need to correct your line of flight.

Fail your way to success

As you can see, learning from failure is one of the greatest secrets of success and one of the best ways that you can be guaranteed to achieve your goals.

As long as you learn what not to do, you will have the opportunity to discover what you need to do.  Learn from your mistakes then correct your course and get hungry! Reap the benefits of learning from failure and catapult your way to your ultimate achievements.

Be Unstoppable!

I am going to start this off by telling you what not to do:

Don’t wait to make New Year’s resolutions.

I am very adamant on the fact that I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions. I think that making resolutions at the beginning of the year is one of the funniest things that I see so many people do and one that always leads to failure.

I see the proof every single year at the gym: packed through January and then come February, the number of members working out decreases every week.

Personally, if there is something that I am going to go after then I am going to do it today. I don’t even do the “wait till Monday to start” thing either. I am known to wake up on a Wednesday and set new goals and totally change my plans around at the turn of a hat.

So if I don’t believe in making New Year’s resolutions, what do I believe in?

Simply set goals

I believe 100% in setting goals. Goals are the targets that I have in sight which I am determined to hit in the bull’s-eye. Some people like to call them intentions thinking that this is a better term but I say there is no difference. Plain and simple, goals are the target that you have set to accomplish.

I like to set goals that are meaningful, measurable and seem a little out of reach. I really like to set BIG goals because small goals equate to small results.

I also like to tell them to a few close friends that I trust so I feel a sense of commitment and accountability.  I also know I will have the support I need in doing so. Be careful who you tell your goals to though because telling them to a “realist” is a recipe for disaster.

From fat to fit…

In 2010 I set a goal to get back into shape and drop my body fat from 24% down to under 10%. I set this goal after I had fully recovered from a surgery that I had earlier that year. I was coming back after a 5 month layoff and was in the worst shape I had been in a long time and thought this would be a good challenge.

Was I successful?

Absolutely!

I did this in record time too; it took only a month of complete dedication, determination and discipline. I felt great, not just getting back into physical shape but also mentally knowing that I had succeeded in achieving my goal.

What did it take?

First and foremost it took a plan. If you fail to plan then you are planning to fail. This is the first and most important step.

Then it took the dedication to perform each and every weight training and cardio session that was on my plan. This meant an hour of weight training 4 days per week and at least an hour of cardio per day of not two. Lastly, it took the discipline to eat a strict diet every single day.

Even though there were days that I wanted to give up and throw in the towel by scarfing down a pizza, I kept pressing on. The end result was that I achieved exactly what I intended to do and I felt on top of the world.

So what about you?

What goals have you set for yourself thin year?

You are way ahead of the pack if you set your goals and actually wrote them down on paper.  This makes them ten times more powerful so if you haven’t done that yet then get to it!

Actually, there is magic to doing this exercise. Just ask yourself, “What do I really want to accomplish in the next 365 days?” and then write it down and watch the magic happen. It’s that simple.

Remember that it doesn’t matter whether you are setting your goals in June or January, it only matters that you set them in the first place.

Here are 5 goal setting tips to help you make this your best year ever:

1. Stay away from making New Year’s resolutions.

It’s okay to set goals for the upcoming year. I do this religiously. Don’t make it a resolution though. Sit down and write out a list of everything that you want to accomplish in the upcoming year and then work from there. Setting up New Year’s resolutions is setting up for failure.

2. Make your goals personal.

Only set the goals that you want for you. Don’t set goals only for the reason of impressing someone else or gaining attention. Don’t set them because someone told you that it is the best thing for you. Only you know what the best thing for you is so set your goals accordingly.

3.  Make them a little out of reach.

Set goals that make you stretch. This will help you to realize your true potential. Remember that you only get out of life what you ask from it, so set goals that are out of your comfort zone. If you set small goals then you will get small results so make like Trump and think BIG.

4.  Share your goals with others.

Okay, this is one idea that I keep going back and forth on because each side has its pros and cons.

To tell or not to tell is the question.  So what’s it going to be?

Anyway, on the plus side, sharing your goals with others will help to hold you accountable. You don’t want to look like a fool if you don’t back up what you say you are going to do, right?

If you talk the talk then you have to be sure to walk the walk.

Also, if your friends know about your goals they can help to encourage you in times of need. They will be there to support you because they know what your goal is and how important it is for you to achieve your goal.

Say for instance that you set a goal to lose a certain amount of weight. If you tell your friends and you have their support then they aren’t going to be calling you every week and asking you to go out for burgers and fries. Makes sense doesn’t it?

5. Make your goals visible.

My last tip is to make your goals visible. Goals do no good if you are not reminded of them throughout the day. Write your goals down and then post them anywhere that you will see them.

Keep them on your desk in your office, carry them on a small card in your wallet or purse and be sure to tape a card to the bathroom mirror so you can see them every morning and evening when you are brushing your teeth.

You can also consider putting your goals on your computer screen saver. Believe me; subliminal reminders do in fact work.

And don’t forget to keep track of your progress. I always keep a training log to track my fitness goals and it works wonders to keep me motivated and help me achieve my goals more easily.

So there you have it. Put these goal setting tips to good use and make this your best year ever!

Be Unstoppable!
Yours in Success,

By Dr. Robert Anthony

Creator of “The Secret of Deliberate Creation”

Why do you procrastinate?

Why do you not do the very things you want to do?

Why do you have great dreams, but don’t take massive action to make them come true?

The answer lies in Newton’s first law of physics: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”

Let me explain:

Let’s say you want something, whatever that ‘something’ is. Let’s call it ‘success’ to keep it simple.

The bottom line is this: if you want success, and you want it more than anything else in the world, you will get it.

However, if you want to run away from your fears to a safe place, a place you feel secure, then you want the security MORE than you want the success. This is why you don’t achieve those great dreams.

The excuses or ‘reasons’ will ultimately sound like:

“I’m not smart enough”

“I don’t have the money”

“I don’t deserve more than I already have.”

“I don’t have enough education”

“I don’t have the qualifications to do this”

All of these excuses are what keep us from our dreams. The way to discover what we are hiding from ourselves is to learn to ask the right questions.

We KNOW all the answers. The problem is that we don’t ask the right questions. Here are two questions you can use in almost any quandary:

“What is the BENEFIT of me not realizing my dreams?” “What am I getting out of it?”

Trust me; you ARE getting a benefit or a PAYOFF for not realizing your dreams. You must discover what it is in order to eliminate it.

One of the hidden benefits or payoffs is not having to leave our comfort zone. Even if we are unhappy where we are, we have convinced ourselves that going after what we want is more difficult and more painful and staying where we are. We may be miserable, but at least we are comfortable.

The second question is: “What am I afraid will happen if I …………………. (fill in the blank with the dream)

This encompasses the changes in lifestyle we will have to make in order to achieve our dreams. Also, what others will think.

In order to have the success you want and deserve, you must answer and resolve these two simple questions.

Okay, so what do you do?

First, turn off the phone, TV, stereo, and all other distractions. Then get a pen and paper and write at the top of the page:

“The benefits of NOT realizing my dream are:”

List a minimum of 20. If you can’t ‘think’ of any, then just ‘guess’ and write them down. About the time you reach 10-15, you subconscious mind will take over. Write anything that comes to mind, no matter how trivial or insignificant.

Just allow your mind to wander and go where it takes you. Get as specific as possible.

Very few get past this point before they have some very interesting answers come up.

Now ask yourself how your fear or procrastination has served you thus far. Realize the fear is there for a specific purpose. Find the purpose and ask yourself if it still serves you to have this fear. Perhaps it is time to let go of your fear and stop procrastinating once and for all.

When you have lost the need for the fear, you will just naturally let it go (if you are ready to do so).

And when you let it go, you will be free to move toward the thing you say you want—-and you’ll do it with ease and joy.

Are you ready to stop procrastinating or are you going to put if off a little longer? The choice is yours.

In life you can only have two things – Reasons or Results – and Reasons don’t count! You either have what you want, or you have ‘reasons’ why you don’t have it.

Procrastination is a disease. The cure is convincing yourself that it no longer serves you.

If you would like to realize you dreams and create the life you have always wanted, I invite you to take a look at my “Secret of Deliberate Creation” program. Nothing works faster or produces better results.

Creator of Deliberate Creation Instant Self Hypnosis

Having trouble reaching all your goals? Are you going for what you want, but feeling like something is road-blocking the way? Are you finding yourself “not” doing some of the things you know you should be doing?

You may be a victim of sabotage—self-sabotage. How do you know, and what can you do about it? Read on and see.

1. Focusing on what is not working, not right or missing from your life.

Problem: Notice how often you speak about and think about what is not working, not right, or missing from your life. This only attracts more of the things you don’t want.

Action: Ask yourself a new question: “What’s going right?” or “What IS working?” Begin to notice all the things, no matter how small, that are working well. Keep an evidence journal and each day write down everything, I do mean everything, that is working and you will attract more of what is working!

2. Being stuck in fear.

Problem: Do you worry a lot about the future and what is going to happen or might happen? Are you thinking about your fears so much that you are paralyzed and take no action because of fear of what might occur?

Action: It is time to put your focus on the present. We can’t control or predict the future or other people’s behaviors. All we can control is our own, right here, right now.

Ask yourself the question “What is the worst thing that could happen?” Then, let go and know that rarely do the scenarios we create in our heads occur. Take a moment to put things into perspective by writing down the things you cannot change, the things you want to change, and accept that the Universe, God, Spirit, whatever you call it will take of the rest. It always does!

3. Feeling you have no value.

Problem: Do you forget all your accomplishments and lack pride in who you are and what you have accomplished? If you obsess about the past or your

lack of success or lack of achievement, then you’ll be stuck in noticing how much you lack as a person. If you often criticize yourself or can’t accept compliments, it’s a definite sign that you have fallen into this trap.

Action: You can choose to notice what you do that is good and the things you can be proud of, no matter how small they may seem. Each day keep a log of what you are grateful for about YOU. When you hear your mind chattering about what you haven’t done right or well, turn down the volume and turn up the volume to hear the voice that knows the TRUTH about who you are and how you add value to the world.

Acknowledge yourself for at least 5 things each and every day that you did well. Each day, compliment yourself on something you did that you feel good about. Notice your small successes and accept the compliments others give you.

4. Comparing yourself to others.

Problem: Do you constantly compare yourself to others and then feel badly when compared to them? Comparison doesn’t motivate us to do more or be better, instead it makes us feel we’ll never be good enough and we aren’t right now.

Action: Write out the 5 qualities you like best about yourself. Then write out what you value most in your life. When you go to a place of comparison, notice how similar you are with the other person vs. what is different. Begin to create a list of adjectives that describe you – at least 25 positive words about your greatness. Whenever you notice yourself in a comparison mode, think of some of the adjectives that describe YOU.

5. Self-Sabotage – getting what you want and then losing it.

Problem: Do you not believe that you deserve to have what you want? When you get what you want, why do you often lose it or mess it up? What is the true story underneath – maybe that you think aren’t good enough to have it?

Action: List all the things you have accomplished that faded away. Simply notice these things, but don’t place any judgment on the fact they disappeared. How did they bring you satisfaction? How did they make you feel? What is the limiting belief that you have that tells you inside why you can’t have what you want? Be quiet, be still and listen to it.

Write down how you felt when you had what you wanted. Write down how you feel now, without it. Then write a “bridge belief”: A very, very small belief that feels a little bit better than what you now feel. Each week, create a new bridge belief, not matter how small, that you can really believe. By using these bridges as stepping-stones, you’ll shift your limiting beliefs slowly and be on the other side of the bridge and able to maintain it because you will have a new belief inside of you.

6. You chase away relationships.

Problem: Do you always feel something is missing in your relationships or find fault with the other person? Perhaps you are afraid of intimacy. Underneath this is usually a fear of abandonment or exposure that causes you to distance yourself from others.

Action: Create a list of the qualities you value in a relationship and the qualities you want to attract in your partners. Express what you want and don’t want to the other person and allow them to express the same to you. Create time to acknowledge the other person on a regular basis. Notice when you feel afraid. Don’t try to push the feelings away. Know that the feelings are there and that is fine. Then, in that moment, focus on what feels good about the relationship.

7. Having no purpose.

Problem: Do you feel you have no purpose in life? We all have some purpose for being on the planet and it is time to notice yours.

Action: Write down all the things that are important to you – the thing you want to create in your life. Then write out what you want to contribute to the world. From your writing, create a statement of purpose for yourself that you can read each and every day.

Then stop worrying about not knowing your purpose and start creating what you desire now. It doesn’t matter what you want in the future. So start creating something you want in your life NOW. This action will ultimately put you in alignment and bring you closer to your overall purpose.

What do some of the most highly successful people in the world all have in common? How do these people achieve a level of success that is absolutely extraordinary?

There’s one trait that all of these people share in common that sets them above the rest of the crowd. This one trait will make or break you in your quest for whatever it is that you are in pursuit of. This one trait is one of the most important though; giving you the advantage over the “average” and the “normal” in any field.

The Secret of highly successful people

So what is this best kept secret of highly successful people? Well, it‘s really not a secret if you ask me.

It’s the discipline and determination to do what the others aren’t willing to do.

It’s a pretty plain and simple quality but it is one of the hardest to follow. This is what separates the people who don’t hit their fitness goals with the ones who do. It’s also the thing enables someone to start a successful online business and succeed with generating a substantial passive income every month.

Want proof?

Just read the stories of some of the most successful people in history such as Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Andrew Carnegie and many others and you’ll know the meaning of doing everything that it takes to succeed.

It’s not rocket science. It’s the simple truth. Being willing to go above and beyond your comfort zone and make all of the sacrifices necessary to get the job done is essential for success.

It’s EVERYTHING not ANYTHING…

Are you willing to do what it takes? It is a matter of doing EVERYTHING that it takes not just anything that it takes.

There is a BIG difference.

Everything that it takes involves doing the things that you don’t like to do in addition to the things that may be difficult but are tolerable.

Anything that it takes involves doing some difficult tasks that are tolerable but you are not willing to do certain things that push you beyond your comfort zone and limits. It’s only doing “selective” difficult tasks.

Let’s look at an example.

In order to be successful at a weight loss program and achieve your ideal physique, you need to do certain things in a certain way to get the end result that you are after. This will involve a weight training and cardio program along with a proper diet and nutrition program.

This means a morning cardio session 5 days per week, 4 high intensity weight training sessions in the evening and cutting out ALL junk food and adhering to a strict eating regimen.

The protocol involves waking up an hour earlier than usual for a morning cardio session and extra time for meal prep since now you won’t be stopping at your favorite lunch stop. You will also need to take another half hour in the evening for a high intensity weight training session four days per week so you won’t be going for drinks with your friends after work or even heading straight home anymore for your favorite snack and beverage while you turn on the TV and sit on the comfy couch.

You will also need to prep all of your meals ahead of time and stick to a strict eating schedule. This means eating every two to three hours to keep your metabolism stoked.

Now, the person who is successful will be the one who does EVERYTHING on the list, not just some of the things listed.

You won’t make it just doing the training part without the diet.

You also won’t make it just doing the diet part without the training.

You can make all of the excuses in the world but believe me, there are people who are way worse off than you are who are doing everything it takes to achieve their goals. These are the super successful people who want it more than anything; and who GET IT!

Doing two out of three won’t get you there.

Neither will making excuses.

Be prepared to make ALL of the sacrifices that it takes.

These principles apply to any aspect of life.

This thing called WORK

So you want to start your own online business and earn passive income every month right from the comfort of your own home?

Be prepared immerse yourself in the world of internet marketing and get by on a few hours of sleep every night. Yes the payoff is immense but you will have to be willing to do everything that it takes to get there. And that means W-O-R-K.

All of the top dogs of that niche paid their dues. That’s why they are super successful and earning millions every year.

They also did everything that it took to get there.

If you want it you surely can have it but in order to succeed here too you need to be willing to make sacrifices and do everything that it takes to make it happen.

The bottom line

So the bottom line is this:

You need to be willing to go above and beyond what everybody else in the category of “normal” would do and go the extra 10 miles.  You get out of something what you out into it so if you are putting only 50% effort that’s all you will ever get out of it.

Be willing to do everything that it takes to accomplish your goals and you will be in the category of the Super Successful too!

Be Unstoppable!
Yours in Success,

Do your goals discourage you?

Do you ever feel as though you can’t achieve the goals you have set for yourself no matter how hard you try? Have you ever felt as if all of your efforts were a complete waste of time because nothing seemed to get any better for you? The problem may not be the amount of effort that you are putting forth. It may just well be that it’s the size of the goals that you have set for yourself that is the problem.

Sometimes we only see the big picture as the sole issue that we need to deal with at any particular moment. Then when the big issue isn’t resolved within the particular time frame that you set for yourself, you get discouraged and decide that it’s just not worth the effort.

Does the size of your goals really matter?

Let me give you a couple of examples and shed some light on the subject.

Let’s just say that you’ve set your mind to lose fifty pounds and drop down to what you think is your ideal bodyweight. That’s a great goal. Now you have to ask yourself what the game plan is to achieve this.

What are the changes in your lifestyle that you are you going to have to incorporate in order to achieve your goal? More importantly though, what is a safe and realistic goal poundage for you to lose each week and how many weeks will that plan take you to lose the total number of goal pounds?

The key is to break it down into manageable chunks that you can work with.

Let’s take a quick look at another example. Let’s say that you have a goal to set up an internet business and you would love quit your job and work full-time online within one year.

This is another example of a great plan. The question that you need to ask yourself is what is the amount that you will need to earn in your internet business each month in order to attain your yearly goal? Next you need break it down even further and to ask yourself what is the amount that you need to earn every day in order to achieve your monthly goal. Then take it to the next step and plan out a strategy in order to make your daily goals a reality.

When you stop and think about it, it’s not always your lack of effort that is the problem.  As a matter of fact, it’s usually the lack of planning that is the determining factor in the outcome of your goals.

Don’t confuse your goals with your dreams

You also may be confusing your goals with your dreams. Your dream is the big picture. That’s the big end result that you are striving to accomplish, whether it’s earning a six figure income online, losing fifty pounds, buying your dream home or anything else that your heart desires.

Your goals on the other hand, are the small steps that you take that link together to lead you to your big dreams. If you are only looking at the end result on a large scale without a practical plan made up of smaller goals, you may get discouraged and give up without ever realizing those big dreams. Focus on the smaller steps and everything else will fall right into place.

Short term goals are the way up the ladder of success

So, if you’re expectations outweigh your achievements,  then maybe you’re trying to reach the top of the ladder without climbing from rung to rung. It’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate your plan of action, laying out a practical plan consisting of smaller short term goals that will act as steps eventually leading to your ultimate goal.

Take your goal setting one small step at a time and you will surely climb the ladder of success!

By Dr. Robert Anthony

Creator of The Secret of Deliberate Creation

Over the years I have had the privilege to spend time with some very financially and spiritually enlightened people. As a result, my personal life and the way I do business has changed.

In listening to these people talk and observed how they handle their personal and business lives, three very distinct and powerful traits came to my attention. I believe if all these three traits were applied to your life, they would make such a dramatic change, that in a short time all the things you desire would show up in your life.

I don’t say that lightly, I really have been influenced by these three Spiritual Principles and their power. I believe – no, I KNOW, you will be too, if you apply them in your life.

Principle Number 1:

THEY “KNOW” THEY CAN CREATE WHATEVER THEY DESIRE

Spiritual Millionaires choose what they want instead of focusing on what they don’t want. They never spend time thinking about what is “missing” from their life. Rather, they make a choice about what they want in their life.

Spiritual Millionaires have 100% confidence in the Law of Attraction. The have no doubt about their ability to create what they desire. They don’t “believe” it – they KNOW it. There is a world of difference between “believing” and “knowing”. When you “know” the truth about anything, there is no doubt. You have 100% confidence.

Knowing is about trusting that you are the only one who knows what is right for you, that you are capable of handling whatever comes to you, and that you are clear on your intentions or the outcome you choose to create.

I’ve seen the power of being absolutely clear on my intentions for my life: They come true! They have for me, and I watched the Spiritual Millionaires as their intentions came to reality for them as well.

Being clear on your intentions is a good first step. However, a more powerful and life-changing step is trusting that those intentions are ALREADY a reality on the non-physical plane of consciousness, and that they must manifest in your physical reality if you do not hold any opposing thoughts.

And then, “Act As If…” your intentions are reality, now. Not dishonestly, or outside of your true beliefs. But, to feel it, sense it, imagine how it’s going to “show up” in various situations once it manifests in your life.

Principle Number 2:

THEY TAKE ACTION

As I observed Spiritual Millionaires, I noticed that they didn’t hesitate to move on their ideas and responding to situations that called for action in order to keep the momentum going.

Do you get the power of what this Principle is about? If you’re sitting waiting for something to happen, doing other “important” tasks rather than those that you know will produce the results you desire , you are wasting time and you are no closer to your desire. Trust me on this one, I’ve waited for so many things in my life that never showed up!

Acting on your desire is habit that you desperately need to cultivate in order to get to where you want to be! Waiting will not do it!

I watched these Spiritual Millionaires, one after another, take immediate action, not out of fear or to ‘force’ things to happen, but because the next action they took brought them one step closer to their desire. And, I saw tremendous results come into their lives.

They don’t take unnecessary action. Instead, they use the leverage of energy, the same leverage of energy that creates everything in the universe.

I have seen these Spiritual Millionaires step into spaces of discomfort, and have courage to take action. It was also evident that they were as scared to take those steps as you and I are when we’re faced with the choice of moving out of our comfort zone.

It’s time to “Get Moving”, trust your intuition, your sense of knowing what the next step is, and take action. We often wait for the “feeling to be right” first, before we take the action we know will bring us satisfaction. That’s backwards! The feelings of satisfaction only comes from ACCOMPLISHMENT, not from pondering and procrastinating. (You knew that one, too, didn’t you?!)

Never try to force things to happen because you are afraid of what will happen if you don’t take a certain action. Instead, choose ‘inspired action’ that moves you toward what you want, not away from what you don’t want.

Acting on your intentions without trying to force things to happen will magnetize your desires by attracting people, places and opportunities into your into reality that you never would have even seen if you hadn’t done so.

Principle Number 3:

THEY MAINTAIN AN “ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE”

Spiritual Millionaires maintain an “attitude of gratitude”. Gratitude does not need explanation – you know how to be grateful. But did you know that gratitude brings you more of what you appreciate? Gratitude speeds along the manifestation of your desires.

When you find things that you appreciate and you use them as your point of focus, your world has to get better in every area of your life. Spiritual Millionaires know that every time they flood their mind with appreciation or gratitude they attract more of what they desire.

Look around you right now. What can you be grateful for? Make a list. Get into the authentic feeling of true gratitude. Find something, anything, to be grateful for right now. When you are grateful, you’re in a high energy vibration that will attract more things to be grateful for and more good things will come to you magically, drawn in by your feelings of gratitude.

When I put these three principles into practice for myself, I immediately, I mean IMMEDIATELY, got results!

Every Spiritual Millionaire I have known has created their wealth and happiness using these three principles. If you want a step-by-step blueprint on how to apply these principles and fine-tune your ability to create whatever you desire, then take a moment to check out my “Secret of Deliberate Creation” program. I promise you the principles in the “Secret of Deliberate Creation” program will get you the results you desire. And, they are enjoyable, easy and nothing works faster!

The answer is quite simple.

It’s because the successful people have specific goal strategies that they use when setting goals and have taken the necessary steps needed to successfully achieve them.

So what exactly are these strategies that they have used to achieve their goals?

Here are five goal strategies to guarantee your success:

1. Set a deadline

The first and most important step in the goal setting process is to start with a long-term goal, write it down, and take into account when you actually plan on achieving that goal.

In other words, set a deadline.

Then you must stop and ask yourself why this particular goal is important to you. Try and be as specific as possible and visualize this in vivid detail, explaining how the achievement of this goal will change your life for the better.

Once this long-term goal strategy has been documented, break the goal into tangible smaller steps that need to be taken in the process.

2. Be 100% positive that you really desire the goal

Ask yourself these questions:

“Do I really and truly want this goal?”

“Will the achievement of this goal better the quality of my life?”

When you stop and take the time to answer these questions, it will give you the burning desire to achieve your goal. This goal strategy will help you to “get clear” and what it is that you truly desire.

3. Talk about your goal strategies

You shouldn’t really keep your goals to yourself.

Why?

When you share your goals with someone who is close to you that you trust, it can help you get the support you may need and it also ads to it the element of accountability.

I know that there are many of you who are concerned with telling others about your goals because you are worried about the consequences if you happen to fail.

Contrary to this belief, telling someone else about your goals means that you are more likely to achieve them either with their support or in-spite of them.

4. Put your goals in writing

In my opinion, this is the most important goal strategy of all.

This particular strategy will burn your goals deep into your subconscious mind. From there you will begin to experience synchronicities happening in your life that will lead you to the bull’s eye of your target.

Once you have put your goals down in writing, be sure to review them on a regular basis. It’s also a good idea to keep them with you on a 3×5 index card to remind you of your goal at any time of the day. This will help to keep you motivated and focused.

The important part of this process is that you have to discipline yourself to stick to what you have written.

Do not just write them and tuck them away somewhere where they will be out of your mind. It’s much wiser to keep them where you will see them.

It’s even a good idea to stick your goal cards on the refrigerator or on the bathroom mirror where you will see them several times throughout the day.

5. Never, ever quit

Writing your goals down and reviewing them regularly will help to keep your mind open and tell you if you are on the right track.

While on track, you may have to face adversity and obstacles which might change your perception of your reality.

When in doubt, though, never be discouraged.

Facing obstacles and roadblocks on your path serves as a test to prove how dedicated and determined you are to achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. This goal strategy will all boil down to you preparing yourself to face anything and doing everything that it takes to conquer your goal.

Remember this though: only you can make it happen.

Nothing can stop you when you set your mind to something and make a commitment to taking action.

Follow these 5 goal strategies and you will follow the road to success!

Be Unstoppable!
Yours in Success,

By Dr. Robert Anthony

There’s this common, well-known truth that “what you focus on expands.” It’s simple math. The more you focus on the things you want, the more of those things you manifest in your life.

The reverse is also true. The more you focus on the things you don’t want, the more of those things you manifest in your life.

The problem is that 9 out of 10 people live within a “Matrix of Fear” where they’re programmed to be afraid of everything, including success, failure, health problems, money problems, relationships — and the list is endless.

In addition to what’s going on in their personal lives, most people add to their personal fears by getting caught up in global dramas as well.

Unfortunately most people give up their power to create their lives the way they want. Instead, they are *unconsciously* creating their lives exactly opposite of the way they want them.

They manifest their fears through their intense feelings of worry and fear about things that *may* happen!

So of course, they live a self-fulfilling prophecy and they ‘DO’ happen!

Everything – everything – starts with a thought.

It works that way with any thoughts you have, because thoughts are creative – especially when you energize them through strong feelings and emotion.

That’s how you ‘get’ what you focus on. This is important to understand because you can never be successful if you focus on what you don’t want or fear will happen.

When people focus on what they fear, they unconsciously create what they don’t want on an individual, local, national and global scale. This fuels more fear – - and the cycle of “Negative Manifestation” continues.

Please pause for a minute and think about this.

It’s critically important for you to understand that your THOUGHTS are the ‘cause’, and your LIFE is the ‘effect’.

Yet almost everyone gets worried or fearful based on the ‘effects’, and that’s how their fears become the ‘cause’ for more negative things to manifest.

The answer is to monitor your thoughts. Specifically, I suggest you do the following:

Keep a Positive Mental Focus – No matter what!

Want to know how you can eliminate an enormous amount of fear in your life? It’s very simple. Stop watching TV and reading the newspaper.

The media is a contrived industry that profits off making you worried, fearful, scared and anxious. The more THEY can get you into this state of mind – - the more YOU have to keep watching or reading to keep up with the latest events.

The more successful they are at keeping you coming back for more – - the more MONEY they get from advertisers who pander to the mindless audiences that are in this perpetual trance.

WAKE UP from the trance! Tune out. (Don’t tune in.)

This one idea can eliminate an enormous amount of fear, stress and anxiety in your life. Stop watching TV and reading the newspapers. Instead, focus on the positive aspects of your life.

Let this be your motto – “No news is good news”. It works for me and has made a major change in my life and my ability to create what I desire.

Also, don’t listen to others who are coming from fear and living in negativity. If you do, you are using YOUR creative powers to help THEM manifest what they fear.

Keep your focus at a pure level. The minute you allow a competing desire (such as a fear) to have power, at a ‘minimum’ that delays or throws your conscious desire or true intention off course. More than likely, it will cancel it out.

You can think of this like launching a rocket. Let’s call it your “Rocket of Desire”. The launching power is feeling excited about having what you want.

However, if after you launch your Rocket of Desire you say, “But I am not sure I can do this” or “I am not sure will this will work out”, you’ve taken your rocket that was moving with great speed toward your goal and you’ve cut back the power. The end result is your rocket went from soaring towards your goal to crashing into the ground.

That’s how your worries and fears push away the things you want.

If you unconsciously send up other rockets based on your fears, you’re cutting the power you sent to your Rocket of Desire.

You can launch your rocket so it flies faster and higher, and has more impact if you eliminate as much worry and fear as possible from your life. Instead of fear and worry, keep your focus only on experiencing your desires coming to you quickly and easily.

It is very simple – the more you focus on the things you want, the more of those things you manifest in your life.

If you want to create more of the things you desire, easily and effortlessly take a moment to review my “Secret of Deliberate Creation” training program. Nothing works faster and produces better results. That’s a promise!
