How To Know If You'll Hit Your Goal

I can always tell if someone is going to hit their goal – even if they haven’t said what their goal is.

Because achieving your goal has literally nothing to do with the goal itself.

It’s purely about the way you’re pursuing it.

There are only 3 steps to achieving any goal (even an impossible one).

  1. Create a simple plan

  2. Actually do the things in the plan

  3. Manage your thoughts about it

It doesn’t matter if your goal is to start a business or write a book or create a new client – if one of these steps is missing, it’s going to stop you right in your tracks.

And I see this all the time – passionate people, with all the motivation in the world, and somehow they’re still stuck.

Because their plan is too complicated.

And they’re not actually doing the things they know they should be doing.

And they’re freaking out over any obstacle that shows up.

These three steps might seem simple, but my clients would agree – nothing has been more important to their success.

It’s how my client Keira opened a book shop in 9 weeks.

And how my client Katrin’s program completely sold out on her first launch.

And how my client Niamh signed a celebrity client.

And how my client Nancy became a digital nomad and moved to Colombia.

And how I grew an audience of over 24,000 people and became my own boss.

If you’re serious about hitting your goal, your job is to spend all of your energy focused on nailing these three steps – and zero energy on anything that takes you away from them.

  1. Create a simple plan

  2. Actually do the things in the plan

  3. Manage your thoughts about it

Throw out the rest.
