Your Goal is So Much Closer Than You Think

Our goals only take as long as we let them take.

It's our timeframe expectations that hold us back from taking wild, creative, no-one-else-would-do-this action.

Because if you HAD to achieve your goal in 24 hours – if everything was on the line – you'd do it.

You know you would.

You'd find a solution even if that meant doing something incredibly uncomfortable.

What if you truly believed you could sign a client today?

What if you truly believed you could get a book deal today?

What if you truly believed you could make money in your new business today?

How would that change how you show up today?

JOMO

I just found out about JOMO.

The JOY of missing out.

I have JOMO about the corporate world, drinking alcohol, and skiing.

What do you have JOMO about?

Love Yourself Even When

It's easy to feel good about a goal you haven't started yet. 

Because you haven’t had to take any action or feel any disappointment.

The real challenge is to love yourself the entire way through the middle and out the other side.

Your Belief is Your Destiny

You don’t believe something because it’s true.

You believe something to make it true.

It’s BECAUSE I always believe I’ll hit my goals that I always do.

Not because it was always going to happen. It wasn’t.

When I believe I can hit my goal:

• I show up for it every day.

• I put in 10x more effort than I ever have before.

• I ask myself how to guarantee my results, and then go and do those things.

• I stay up late.

• I get up early.

• I make the nerve-wracking phone calls.

• I put in the extra work.

• I do things I would never do otherwise.

When I believe I won’t hit my goal:

• I find excuses for not showing up.

• I watch Netflix for hours on end.

• I don’t reach out for help.

• I don’t look for solutions.

• I take half-hearted action.

• I sabotage my results, just to prove it was never going to happen anyway.

Sometimes my brain sometimes offers me unhelpful thoughts about why I won’t hit my goal:

• What if you can’t do this?

• You’re out of your depth this time.

• This goal really IS impossible.

It’s normal to hear those thoughts. But I never decide they’re true.

I always choose to believe I will hit my goal.

Because why would I ever choose a thought that makes my goal feel further away?

Whatever you believe IS the truth.

Your beliefs control your actions, and your actions control your results.

If you believe you can’t do it, you’ll take action like you can’t do it.

The decision to believe that you will achieve your goal will always serve you.

Every single day, re-decide that you’re going to succeed.

Act as if your success is certain.

It will be.

My Favourite Thought Right Now

I am my own magic pill – I know exactly what to do.

51% Belief Is All You Need

Every day, I work on my belief that I’m the kind of person that can hit ANY goal I set myself.

It’s how I do things like 50 push ups in a row and blogging for 600 days and making 5-figure months.

Because I genuinely believe I can do them, before I've done them.

And it’s not like I don’t have days where I think “eeeeek I don’t know if I’m going to hit this goal!”

I have plenty of those moments, like “damn, am I actually bat-shit crazy for thinking I can do this?”

It’s just that I spend more of my time deliberately believing that I will hit my goal.

And you create what you believe the most.

You don’t have to be in perfect 100% belief that you can achieve your goal.

You just have to believe you can achieve it more than you believe you can’t.

So even if you spent 49% of your time believing you’re not going to hit your goal, but you spend 51% of your time believing you will hit it, you’ll still hit the goal.

Because 51% of your energy will be directed towards figuring it out.

Here’s how I spend more time believing I CAN do impossible things:

• I journal on why I CAN achieve my goal, every morning while I eat breakfast. I haven’t missed a day since March 1st.

• I make lists of all the things I’ve done in the past that blew my mind

• I created a playlist of songs that put me in the mindset of my ideal self who crushes every goal and I listen to it right before I have to do something for my goal (I think this might be the most rapidly effective way for me to get into belief).

• I get coached on my blocks by my coach, Stacey.

• I seek out people who make me feel like I’m limitless. There are only a handful of these people in my life, but every time I talk to them, they make me feel invincible, and I’m high for 3 days afterward.

• I surrounded myself with people doing epic things and breaking limits. My clients. My friends. My mastermind.

• I spend my spare time watching documentaries about people who have done wild, crazy things. Some recent favourites: The Last Dance, The Dawn Wall, Free Solo and The Speed Cubers.

What I’m saying is, if you’re not at 100% belief in your goal, that’s totally okay.

All you have to do get to 51%.

Stream of Thoughts

Things are shifting in my business and I’m excited about the changes that are to come.

Thoughts that have been occupying my mind:

1. Will I continue blogging after my 730-days-in-a-row challenge is up? Is it still the best place for me to put my energy and value?

2. What do I actually want my day to look like?

3. How many of the things on my to do list are actually totally unnecessary for my ultimate mission and goal?

I’m pondering these thoughts today. I’ll keep you updated.

Designing the Set for My Ideal Self

Unpacking is a bummer.

That’s why instead of moving into our new apartment and unpacking my old life, I’m designing a set – and I am playing the starring role.

• Who is the person who lives in this apartment?

• What does she wear?

• When does she exercise?

• What time does she get up?

• What time does she go to bed?

• What food is in her fridge?

• Who comes over?

I’m not simply moving into a new apartment.

I’m stepping into the next level version of me.

You don’t have to move house to do this.

Step into future you, now.

Everybody Loves You

How would you show up if you believed that everybody loves you – even if they don’t know it yet?
