4 Steps to Accomplishing your Goals

Impossible goals?

I already know what you’re thinking because I thought the same thing when I first heard this concept. “How the hell does that make any sense? How AND why would one set an impossible goal?” BUT, hear me out. 

Step 1: What do you want? What’s your goal? NOW, think bigger AND keep thinking bigger until you say to yourself, “there is no way.” 

Step 2: Ask yourself, “it would be impossible unless WHAT?” What’s the bottleneck? What’s the thing holding you back? What’s the obstacle? 

For these first two steps it’s incredibly important that you be as SPECIFIC as possible. “I want to make more money” is not specific. “I want to make $1,000,000 by the end of 2024” is much better. 

Step 3: time to reverse engineer. This means you will take the result and go backwards, which will take your future and pull it to your present. Reverse engineering will give you confidence and belief in your ability to accomplish the goal. 

Step 4: The final piece determines everything. You know the steps and NOW you just have to actually do them. It’s really that simple. 

The problems that most people run into is:

1) You don’t think big enough and you end up settling for mediocrity without even realizing it. 

2) You know what you need to do BUT you always have an excuse to fall back on or “something” else that comes up that ends up distracting you. 

3) You allow your present self to dictate your future self instead of letting your future self dictate your present self. 

You control the story you tell yourself based on how you frame your past, present and future. You’re the author. You have all of the power in how the story is shaped. 

You may not be able to control everything that happens in your story, but you can always control how you view and respond to it. Things don’t happen to you, they happen FOR you and BECAUSE of you. 

I spoke all about the concept of WHY building impossible goals is the best way to earn anything you want out of your life on episode 65 of The Powerhouse Mentality Podcast - check it out HERE
