Goal Achievement Path Jeremy:
This your goal achievement path. This is a powerful way to close what is really what I call the gap, so goal achievement path will start closing this gap between what you want and what you're actually achieving. How often do we come up against this massive gap that seems to only get wider between what we know we can achieve and the results that we’re actually getting on a daily basis and it feels like that’s just getting wider and wider? It’s like we want more and more and more, yet we’re staying in the same position and it’s just widening that gap. Well, here’s how to close that gap. First off, it starts with the end in mind like Stephen Covey talks about. It starts with the end in mind. Think from that person you know you can be when you finally achieve that. Let’s say it’s a year from now. Let’s say it’s six months from now. I want you to start thinking from that person. Imagine the individual that actually has achieved what you're looking to achieve. Think that person might be thinking and operating on a whole another level? Yeah, big time. You get to start thinking from that person. You already have a clear vision of who that person is, who you get to become. You’ve gone through your day of excellence and gotten very clear on the vision and living from that place. Well, guess what? You get to start thinking from that person and think from the individual operating system that allows you to achieve that standard of excellence. You start thinking from that person. You start coming … starting from the end and start thinking about the results. Now you're going to be able to start focusing on not just simply SMART goals because quite honestly, I truly believe SMART goals are stupid. Here’s why. The traditional way of doing and what people think of as SMART goals is not effective because look at that right there. SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. There is a big problem when it comes to realistic and achievable as words in your vocabulary when you are stuck by your current conditioning and limited by the current paradigm that you are under right now. If you are coming from a place of being realistic and achievable, well, then, you're always going to just be achieving little, menial tasks in incremental growth as opposed to taking quantum leaps and who you get to become. You're never going to be able to start thinking from the person that is able to achieve serious, legendary greatness in your life. You're always going to be thinking, oh, is this realistic for me? Is this achievable for me? If you're limited by your current conditioning, nothing is ever going to be able to go far beyond your comfort zone because it’s always going to be, is it realistic and is it achievable? Instead of being specific, measurable, achievable, how about having it be a stretch? How about have it being meaningful? How about have it being action-oriented and getting you to a place where you take massive action on what you really want? How about it

being 100% results-driven, 100% being able to create some level of unbelievable outcome that creates freedom in your life? How about it be transformational? How about it be completely transformational in your life that create breakthroughs that allow you to build quantum leap steps in your day? That’s what we get to create SMART goals from. No more achievable. No more realistic. These words should not be in your dictionary if you are really looking to create massive breakthroughs in your life because massive breakthroughs … Breaking the four-minute mile, was that achievable? Was that realistic at the time? Hell, no. It literally could kill you in 1953. When it was broken by Roger Bannister, boy that name seems pretty unrealistic at the moment there, once it was broken by Roger Bannister in 1954, yeah, it was not realistic. It was not actually achievable, but it wasn’t just a year before that. Hell, just a day before he ran the damn race, it was unachievable. Get out of this way of thinking, this old paradigm, this old current … your current conditioning and start focusing from the person you are looking to become. Start thinking from that individual that breaks the four-minute mile when everybody else thinks it’s a suicide mission, when everybody else thinks it’s literally going to kill you. Start thinking from the person who truly knows the greatness inside, who truly believes that they can create something meaningful in their life. Start thinking from that person and start getting very specific about what you really want. Again, it gets to be a stretch. It gets to be meaningful. It gets to be action-oriented and results-driven and truly transformational in your life. That is a SMART goal. Now, to be able to fill this gap, the gap formula really comes down to this goal achievement. This is not about goal setting. This is about goal achievement. This is how you actually start achieving what you really want, those goals that you have laid out to be able to achieve in your life, that mission that we talked about. This is how you now start achieving it. Number one, you have the idea obviously. It comes to mind. You actually start thinking from that person. Most people will immediately, once they have their idea, what do most people do? They immediately go on this scavenger hunt for the perfect pieces of the puzzle. They want to find that perfect blueprint. They want to find that perfect piece that allows them to just fall in to their dream. Well, that’s not what you get to do. You get to focus on the core foundations that allows you to live your dream and produce your freedom. The step after coming up with the idea is instead of thinking about the perfect puzzle, you take immediate action and going actually doing what you're thinking about doing. For example, a great example of this is how often have maybe you experienced where, yeah, definitely I want to lose weight? I want to get healthy. I’m definitely going to do that this year. I’m 100% going to start this. That’s the idea. Let me go ahead and start this on Monday. How often have we done that? I’ll start it on Monday. I’m going to start this diet on Monday. What ends up happening? You go from idea to now trying to put all the perfect pieces of the puzzle together. On Monday, I’m going to get the perfect trainer. I’m going to get

the perfect meal plan. I’m going to make sure that … I’m going to look around at gyms over the next couple of days and explore my options there and make sure that I go to the perfect gym with a perfect environment with the perfect equipment and make sure that all these pieces are in the right place and absolutely 100% perfect in alignment. Then, I’m going to go start my journey, then I’m going to take immediate action on it. Well, no. You immediately … Any time the idea comes to your mind, even just a little bit that you want to be healthy, that you want to create more vitality in your life, you immediately go take action on that. Immediately go to the gym. Hell, immediately drop down and give yourself 20 pushups or 50 jumping jacks or 25 squats. Whatever it is, immediately take action on this. What you're going to find is … and I’m sure you’ve probably experienced this in your life. You’ve done it probably once or twice at least where you’ve had an idea, you immediately took action on it, and then what happens? It feels amazing, especially if we’re going with the workout analogy. It feels amazing when you go out there and you just immediately take action and then actually get an amazing workout in where you sweat. You give it everything you have, and then you walk out of the gym and you come out of that workout and you feel on top of the world. All of the amazing neurochemicals are now just blowing your mind to a whole new standard of excellence. You got the dopamine and serotonin running. You got the energy and the enthusiasm and you feel amazing. Well, now you get to take the next step, which is not going home and just sitting on your couch and just taking it all in and just completely losing the feeling and the emotion that you’ve created from this amazing experience. No. You get to immerse yourself in this. The way that you can do that is once you achieve the outcome, once you achieve the result, so you’ve come up with the idea, you immediately took action, now immerse yourself in the experience. Actually capture the feelings, emotions, the energy, the enthusiasm and write it down. I don’t care if you're simply just writing one word where it’s just one word, one word, one word and you're just writing on a piece of paper all the different words and experience and the emotion that’s coming up for you immediately after you do that specific thing. What is it that you are thinking of right now that you really know would actually create more freedom in your day? Immediately take action on it and then immerse yourself by actually journaling, actually writing it down. What are the emotions that came up for you by actually achieving that? Once you accomplish that goal, what actually came up for you? Oh man, I felt more energized. I felt the passion coming up inside of me. I actually got a lot more clear about my vision because that was off my plate now. Get clear and immerse yourself in the emotions of the result. What you're going to do, the next step is actually going to be infusing it into your mind, infusing it into your mind through getting active, actively getting it into your brain and locking it in so that it becomes a part of you. It actually becomes ingrained in who you are.

The last step is actually instituting a clear plan of action to continue and building upon those results and creating what I call the success snowball where it just continues to roll on each other. I’m going to go through each one of these really quickly. The idea is, again, just coming down to what you want. You should know exactly what you want and it should align with your life vision, values and your mission. We went through that in the first week. That has built a foundation for you. When you come up with ideas, you know whether it’s something you pursue or not. If it is, you're going to take immediate action. You eliminate the tomorrow and you do something immediately to build forward momentum because that’s what’s going to allow you to then immerse yourself in the emotional and the energy that is going to revolve around the result of doing that and taking that action. Write it down, how you're feeling once you’ve actually achieved that particular result. Once you actually took action, what did it feel like? How amazing was it to finally know that you can come up with an idea and immediately take action on it and get it done in about a tenth of the amount of time that it takes for you to think about how perfect it needs to be? What did that feel like? How much freedom did that bring up for you? How much closer did it actually bring you to this amazing feeling of being completely free in your day? Immerse yourself in that so that you can then infuse it into your subconscious through repetition and meditation on the vision and actually allow it to be ingrained and part of who you are and actually start shaping the consistent daily action that you take. Because inevitably, what this is going to do is allow you to institute a reliable blueprint to consistently achieve more growth, more progress, and finally close this elusive gap that we all keep thinking about and that we all keep trying to figure out how to close. Well, this is how you do it. These five steps will allow you to finally close this gap once and for all and not simply sit around setting goals but finally start achieving them.
