Systems VS Goals

The path to actually achieving success

// THREAD //

We all know what a goal is...

For those that forgot

It is a defined ambition, aspiration, or something you want to achieve

But... having a goal isn't enough

A new years resolution is a goal

But 99.9999% of people don't follow through with the goal they set

Why?

Because your current, habits & actions aren't going to change JUST by defining a large scale (out of reach) goal

The solution is to resort to a system for achieving your lofty goals

For those unaware - a system is a plan, or set of actions that need to be taken to get something done (in our case)

Our goal (ha!) here is to create a system that you can follow each day to reach success

Step 1: The BIG Goal

Hold nothing back

Set a huge - nearly unattainable goal that you want to accomplish in your lifetime

Theres some saying along the lines of "aim high, even if you don't hit it, you will get closer than if you aimed lower"

Something like that

Step 2: Refine Refine Refine

Set a 10 year goal

Set a 5 year goal

Set a 1 year goal

Set quarterly goals

Set monthly goals

All of these should be attainable.

(We aren't even to the system yet)

Step 3: Systemize your daily actions

This is where the magic happens

Small daily actions you can take that will bring you closer to hitting your big goal

***If you were to strip away all of the goals, you would still accomplish great things doing this***

You need to prioritize tasks that are directly related to reaching your monthly goals and up

Here is an example:

If I want to make $5k this month by landing a client

Prospecting + followups would be a priority daily task (even though the reward isn't immediate)

One other example

If you want to grow on Twitter

Time block 1 hour in the morning of pure focus to write tweets and engage with others

Pick 2-3 priority tasks you can do on a daily basis and knock them out in a time slot where your energy is highest.

For most - this would be first thing in the morning

For others - this could be at night

If you are unsure, do it first thing in the morning.

That is the important part.

If you want to go even further, have auxilliary tasks that you can knock out at other times of the day

The point is, knocking out priority tasks day by day will eventually lead to success (make sure you refine the smaller monthly goals)

This, ladies and gentleman, is how you reverse engineer your own success

It is a lot simpler than most would think

With that said, implement this immediately before you get distracted by Twitter again.

One other thing to do before you get distracted
