🥕 How to ACTUALLY Reach Your Goals [5 Steps]

Happy Saturday my ol Wise Carrot.

I hope you’ve had a great week filled with joy, fulfillment, success and love.

Now it’s time to get serious.

If you’ve ever set goals and not achieved them, then no longer.

In this weeks newsletter I’m going to give you 5 steps that you can apply to any goal setting scenario backed by Leila Hormozi that you can use to crush your goals.

🥕 How to ACTUALLY Reach Your Goals [5 Steps].

If you are not able to reach your goals nor stick with the habits that you know will propel you to where you want to be in life, then I’m going to give you 5 tactical steps that will change that forever and allow you to adopt consistency as your superpower.

Step 1: Setting Your Goals

The first step in hitting your goals is that you actually have to set them and yes I know this sounds obvious but you’d be surprised how many times we as human beings set goals but never really break them down, we just have a vision of what we’d like to achieve and that’s it.

It’s extremely difficult to stay consistent in life when you don’t know what you’re working towards.

You have to start with this…

Know who you want to become and then start to reverse engineer what you need to do to become that person.

Remember that a vision without a plan is just a dream.

Step 2: Choose Supporting Behaviours

Now once you have your goal, you will need to choose supporting behaviours. Most of us work with behaviours that don’t support our future life such as getting drunk, smoking, not showing up on time, unable to focus, not working out, not eating right etc.

So you know have to think about what you need to START doing to become that best version of yourself but also what you need to STOP doing to become that best version of yourself.

Step 3: You Have To Make It Easy

Now to ensure that you stay consistent and hit your goals, remember this quote…

“You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your environment and what you engineer your environment to be”.

The research shows that it takes about 66 days for a new habit to kick in and then you can start to lean on it.

Ask yourself…

“What can I do to make my life easier?”

A good book which talks about this a lot is the book called “Atomic Habits” - James Clear.

Step 4: Reward Yourself For Consistent Progress

When you want a behaviour to happen and allow yourself to show up more consistently, you need to be able to reinforce that habit/change as much as you can.

A great way of doing this is to reward yourself for staying consistent and reward yourself well. It’s also far more effective that if you can get someone else to reward you, the evidence shows that you’re far more likely to stay consistent than rewarding yourself.

Now don’t get me wrong, rewarding yourself works wonders, but if you can pair that with someone else rewarding you for a great consistent effort too, then you’re far more likely to keep that momentum going.

An example of rewarding yourself could be…

“If I get all of my items done on my to-do list, then I can reward myself by working out”

Step 5: Stick With The Fucking Plan

If the plan that you’ve adopted is working and your seeing results, then stick with the plan. Don’t go and change things when it’s working in hope to get to your goals faster as your just going to be restarting your progress through your lack of patience.

Now if the plan isn’t working, you have to be honest and ask yourself if you’re really giving everything you can to the plan to prove whether the plan is the right or wrong one in the first place.

If you don’t give it 100%, you’re never going to get a non bias representation of whether the plan is working or not.

Most people are so inpatient and then give up.

Just look for progress, that’s it.
