About this episode
I want to talk about how to become obsessed with your goals. Why Should We Become Obsessed With Our Goals? It might sound a little intense, but Grant Cardone puts it best: "I suggest that you become obsessed about the things you want. Otherwise, you're going to spend a lifetime making up excuses as to why you didn’t get the life that you wanted." Essentially, you either become obsessed with your goals and move forward in the life you want, or you'll dwell on excuses for why you didn't live the life you desire PROBLEM. You say you want something…but your actions… According to Robert Kiyosaki, "For many people, the power of their excuse is more powerful than their dreams." Life is coming at you full speed, and the challenges, problems, and excuses we face can often seem bigger than our dreams. Therefore, you must create reasons and goals that are bigger than your obstacles. Harv Eker summarizes it well: "You can have reasons, or you can have results. You can't have both." Making Your Goals a Must Robert Stuberg, a mentor of mine, often talks about how the real solution to creating an obsession with your goals is to make them a must. To live the life you dream of and achieve the goals you set, you must prioritize them above everything else. So, how do we do this? How do we make our priorities non-negotiable? Steps to Become Obsessed with Your Goals 1. Be Specific The biggest challenge most of us face is not knowing exactly what we want. It's super important to be very specific about your desires. Do you want more money? A better life? Improved relationships? A nicer car? What exactly do you want? What type of freedom with your time do you desire? Be clear about the specifics of your goals; specificity is the first step to achieving them 2. Make Commitments Once you know exactly what you want, you gotta commit to achieving it. You have to be ready to sacrifice something in order to get it. If you're not specific about what you want or the sacrifices you're willing to make, you won't get any closer to becoming obsessed with your goals. 3. Create Time in Your Day Allocate specific time every day to focus and concentrate on your goals. This daily focus is crucial because it helps you continually visualize your goals 4. Visualization The mind works in mysterious ways. The clearer and more real your goals become in your mind, the more doable they seem. Spend time every day visualizing your goals. The clearer you are about what you want, the more real it feels, and the more you want it. This visualization helps you become obsessed with your goals. 5. Daily Rituals Establish daily rituals that remind you of your goals. This can be as simple as looking at your goals, writing them down every day, or repeating specific affirmations like "I am going to be successful." Consistency in these rituals reinforces your goals and helps your subconscious mind work towards achieving the 6. Be Relentless and Never Give Up Relentlessly pursue your goals. Never give up. The more you pursue your goals every day, the more obsessed and focused you become on achieving them. RESOLVE 7. Don't Settle One of the biggest pitfalls is settling for less. As you encounter challenges and roadblocks, it's easy to think about settling. However, settling is the enemy of greatness. Don't settle for anything less than what you truly want in your life If you these steps, you will become obsessed with your goals, and as a result, you will get what you want.
