GOAlS<br />

to the store and bought a new inner tube. I was elated. I did it!<br />

That was just the beginning of my drive and persistence in achieving<br />

my goals in life. As I got older I applied the same mentality to everything<br />

I did and achieved amazing results at very young ages. So I<br />

started analyzing what steps I had taken throughout my life to achieve<br />

these types of results. What made my experiences different than others<br />

I know who set goals, but do not seem to achieve them? I am not referring<br />

to setting New Year Resolutions, but clear concrete goals. What I<br />

found is that by implementing the following 11 key steps, extraordinary<br />

results are possible:<br />

1. Set Goals: Most people have no idea what they want or where<br />

they are going in life. I am sure you have heard the saying,<br />

“if you do not know where you are going, you usually end up<br />

somewhere else.” It seems like such a simple and obvious step,<br />

but apparently not to everyone. Some people wander through<br />

life without much direction or desire, and then wonder why<br />

life just happens to them. This is the first step toward taking<br />

control of your destiny. Be clear in what you want.<br />

2. Be Specific: The more specific and detailed you can describe<br />

what you want, the better your chances will be for achieving<br />

it. Here are a few examples. The first one is if you want to buy<br />

a new house, be clear on every detail. Do not just say, “I want<br />

to buy a house.” Decide and visualize the following: What<br />

square footage do you want? How many bedrooms do you<br />

want? How many bathrooms do you want? Do you want the<br />

outside to be brick, siding, or something else? What color do<br />

you want the outside of the house to be? What City and State<br />

do you want your house to be located in? Consider another<br />

example. If you want to buy a car, what make and model do<br />

you want? Brand new? Used? Classic car? What color is the<br />

exterior? What color is the interior? What options do you<br />

want the car to come with: sunroof, convertible, leather, etc?<br />

The most common example is the goal of losing weight. Be<br />

specific on how much weight you want to lose rather than<br />

making the blanket statement “I want to lose weight.”<br />
