Five Magic Steps to Achieving Your Goals

There are five magic steps which you must follow to link your goals, intention, and purpose, with the power to realise them. That power lives within you and through align­ment you can achieve anything you set your mind to. rn1. Know Exactly Where you are Right Now.rnThat is, where you are financially? To achieve this, you will have to do a realistic bottom-line statement: this is what I have in cash/assets; this is what I owe; this is how much my income is. rnThis is an essential process, and most people think they can skip this point and not worry about it. rnYou must take an inventory of your values and your internal strengths and weaknesses. You must increase your strengths and manage your weaknesses. You must gather around you people who can take care of the things that you are not so good at—a coach or mentor or accountant—whoever it is you need to have around you to have you be successful. rn2. You Must Focus Upon a Specific Intention. rnIntentions are very much a step up from goals as goals are often fuelled by fear. rnPeople tend to do things based on fear, but with intention you do things based on careful consideration, and there is a sense of purpose about what you are up to. So with clear intentions, clear goals and plans follow. rn3. You Must Have a Specific Game Plan to Deliver Your Intentions. rnThis is a step-by-step process. For instance, you could have an intention to be a millionaire in seven years. Your specific game plan will give you a program where you spend six hours a week for the next six months learning and studying through seminars, workshops, books etc. on basic investment knowledge. Use that knowledge to acquire property/equities/fixed interest securities over the next six months and to increase your income streams by adding a new income stream each year. Intend having your own business fully operational within two years and having more than six months worth of cash available to handle any possible shortfalls. Increase your income by 20 per cent so that it doubles every 3.6 years, be strategic in your spending, manage your portfolio actively to realise a minimum yield of 15 per cent and be tax effective with all investments and personal income. rn4. Use Vision and Your Creative Spirit Through Your Imagination to Create Ideas and to Design Your Life.rnMost people work too hard to make a living. You need five minutes each day for quiet visualisation, to imagine and reinvent yourself so that you have an empowering life. Ask yourself, ‘What am I grateful for?’, ‘Who loves me?’, ‘Who do I love?’ and ‘What is my purpose?’ rn5. Take Massive Action about your Intention and Goals.rnMake your self take at least one small step each day towards your outcome, no matter how small the step. At the end of the day you must ask the power questions, ‘What did I achieve today?’ and ‘How much closer to my goal am I?’ rnTo recap, the five magic steps are:rnKnow exactly where you are right now. rnFocus upon a specific intention. rnHave a specific game plan to deliver your intentions. rnUse vision and your creative spirit through your imagination to create ideas and to design your life. rnTake massive action about your intention and goals. rnThere is no right or wrong, only out comes. rnSome people would rather be right than happy.
