Focus On This and Change Your Life Forever

TL;DR: Break through the noise and mental clutter by choosing Audacious Goals that bring meaningful change to your life.

The last few months have been a whirlwind.

When a coaching friend invited me to join her 30-Day Challenge, I had to decline and tell her, “My 30-day challenge is to fix the roof and build a chicken run before the rainy season starts.”

A sense of being overwhelmed is rapidly becoming the new normal. But there’s a powerful shift that will put you back in control of your time.

And not only that, it will also give you laser focus and a new sense of excitement about life. Ultimately you gain rich material rewards. But there’s a catch.

The Power of Audacious Goals

I’m always ranting about goals, plans, tools and habits… but they all come down to one thing:

You’re trying to achieve a positive outcome.

You can cut out 90% of the noise and mental clutter just by asking yourself two questions:

· Is this going to lead to a positive outcome?

· Is it an outcome that’s worthy of you, your talents, and your dreams?

A worthy outcome is something that will make you feel like you did the impossible. It transforms your life.

An outcome at this level requires you to change. You have to upset the status quo, especially your internal status quo. That’s why I call these outcomes Audacious Goals.

When you’re pursuing an Audacious Goal, you’re five times more likely to enter that magical state called Flow.

Flow is that state of mind when you’re “in the zone.” Time seems to stand still, which means you can do things faster. Not only does hard work become easy, it becomes fun.

When you’re in flow, you learn more quickly, too.

Flow is likely to happen when there’s the right amount of excitement and challenge. That’s why it’s so important to choose an Audacious Goal, one that is worthy of who you are and who you want to become.

While you’re going after your Audacious Goal, you stack new skills. You build self-confidence. You upgrade your beliefs about what’s possible.

And once you achieve your Audacious Goal, your life will never be the same.

If you’ve taken my WIND course, you know the lesson on Seven Gates and the “Better, Faster, Easier” lesson show you how to turn an existing goal into an Audacious Goal.

But for now, here’s a quick way to get started.

Tool of the Week: Setting an Audacious Goal

1. Think about your three biggest accomplishments. What did they teach you about yourself? How did they change your life?

2. Now, add another one that you haven’t accomplished yet. Imagine the ways your life will be better if you achieve this.

3. Next, supersize it. If your accomplishment is to become a published author, make your book a bestseller. If you have an income goal, triple it.

4. What would it take to achieve your Audacious Goal? What would you have to believe about yourself in order to make it possible?
