Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? Believe me it’s not. I know firsthand it’s my real life story and now I coach other people to hit goals they never dreamed possible!

Here’re the facts: In less than a year I went from 0 (actually less than zero, I had debt) to a new sports car, a newly furnished beautiful home, and yes, a trip to Disneyland! It’s a very simple method I developed and I’m going to give you the Coles notes version to do it for yourself!

Early in my career I had achieved a good financial status by applying my own brand of goal achievement, time management, and sales 101. My results were good, I was comfortable and not motivated to work any harder, I was enjoying life! Then came the moment my life changed dramatically and I lost everything! Needless to say I was now motivated to produce some different results! I had to make money fast, pay off debt and find a home. This opportunity set me up for a lifetime. (At the time it was an opportunity I would have gladly passed on!) Here’s how I quickly got results. It’s a very simple and easy plan that works for me and our clients:

1. Create a crystal clear objective of the goal you want and steps of how to get there. List every detail and document it so you can review the goal objectively and make any needed revisions.
2. Time management makes achieving the goal real. Block time; be cognizant of working those actions that will produce results needed and not waste time. It takes all out massive action! You need to make decisions quickly and step it up both your pace, and your expectations.

3. By forecasting the success ratio of closing deals you can accurately calculate how much activity it will take to get to the goal line. Forecasting lets you know what action will be required.

4. Being flexible and measuring results is critical! Change your plans when new opportunities arise and measure those results. Then change and measure again if needed. Be flexible.

Getting results doesn’t have to be complicated but needs to be consistent in its approach. Therefore do it ALL the time (when you play hockey, you don’t just play for the first period you finish the game).

1.Let’s start at the beginning, crystal clear objective. In other words, begin with the end in mind. For me, the end result was to make X amount of dollars. That can be overwhelming and even make you want to stop before you begin! Keep going – anything worth having is worth the effort. (By the way, I use this same formula for business goals as big as acquisitions, and I admit, for fitness goals when summer gets closer!)

It helps if you break your crystal clear goal down two ways, by asking yourself these questions:
A) How much activity do I need to hit my goal?
B) How much revenue do I need to pull in monthly, weekly and daily? (In this example revenue, it could be exercise, business tasks, etc.)
Once you back in, you can identify the steps needed to achieve your goal. Take it step by step, make it simple and you will achieve it. Don’t over analyze it or you won’t take action.
If this is causing you screams of pain and horror seeing how much activity is needed, there are some choices:
