the fear of not achieving your goal what we call self-limiting beliefs hold you back more than anything else and your self-limiting beliefs are not based on reality that's why you have to constantly think if I had no limitations what goals would I set for myself set your goals promise of the future is an awesome Force to affect your life every day without a future well-designed we take hesitant steps and all you have to have is hesitant steps for 6 years you'll be timid driven into a corner not boldly willing to go and take your portion
take your share there's something tremendously powerful about learning how to derive pleasure from the effort process itself that is learning to enjoy the process of pursuing a goal for sake of that goal for yourself rather than trying to pursue a goal simply to prove somebody else wrong I'll just tell you right now that intrinsic motivation motivation that is directly attached to the thing that you are doing and root to a goal is the most powerful and sustainable source of motivation objectives and key results or okay RS are a simple goal setting system and they work
for organizations they work for teams they even work for individuals the objectives are what you want to have accomplished the key results are how I'm going to get that done done objectives key results what and how but here's the truth many of us are setting goals wrong and most of us are not setting goals at all a lot of organizations set objectives and meet them they ship their sales they introduce their new products they make their numbers but they lack a sense of purpose to inspire their teams so how do you set these goals the
right way first you must answer the question why why because truly transformational teams combined their Ambitions to their passion and to their purpose and they develop a clear and compelling sense of why see our problem is we think we have to know how it's going to happen you don't have to know how it's going to happen that's God job our job is to know what's going to happen right and it will be delivered seeking first this Kingdom all these things will be given to us what things whatever things are necessary for the manifestation of the
goal if we can get that right forget about this you've got to be realistic see our Paradigm dictates our logic right but think of this our Paradigm produces our results too if I'm earning $50,000 a year my Paradigm has me earning 50 a year for me to earn 50 a month that's totally illogical if I want to do better than I'm doing I'm going to have to think in illogical terms because my logic is governed by my Paradigm anything beyond what my Paradigm can see is crazy it's illogical if my goals are a little nuts
I'm not interested in them to identify the knowledge information and skills you will need to achieve your goal remember to achieve a goal that you've never achieved before you're going to have to learn things and do things you've never done before you cannot achieve anything more than you're achieving today with the same level of knowledge and skill that you have today if you could you'd already have done it so identify the skills that you'll have to develop to be in the top 10% of your field identify the most important skill and then identify the number
one skill now here's a great discovery your weakest key skill sets the height of your income and your success your weakest key skill and improving or bringing up that one we skill or acquiring that one we skill will enable you to make more progress than any other Factor at the moment you can make more progress by going to work on the one skill that is holding you back more than any other Factor if you don't specify what you want you won't get it and if you specify what you want and you want it which means
you're willing to make the sacrifices necessary to get it then the probability that you'll get it expands immensely now of course it assumes that what you want is within the bounds of appropriate reason let's say say but you could also dream big and there's always the possibility that'll work out too then they write for 15 minutes okay your life is the way you want it to be in four years what does it look like and then we have them do the opposite which is all right take stock of yourself for a minute with all your
weaknesses and inadequacies and bitterness and resentments and sinful Tendencies let's say now imagine that you let all of that go which little corner of hell would you occupy in 3 to 5 years why don't you write about that and everyone knows where they'd go if they let themselves and so then you have something to avoid and you have something to strive for your subconscious mind uses deadlines as forcing systems they drive you consciously and unconsciously toward achieving your goal on schedule anaas nin once said that your subconscious can work against you because when you set
a big goal you're disrupting your subconscious so your subconscious mind will tell you that it's not possible and will attempt to sabotage you and you know the way your subconscious mind sabotages you it tells you ah you can't achieve this goal you don't need to write it down it's okay as long as you know what it is because of the fear of failure what you do is you don't write the goal down and that way you can't fail isn't that clever and people say well if you don't expect anything good you'll never be disappointed and
these people have no future you write it down as if by writing it down it was guaranteed to you and in many cases it will be if you write it down understanding selfworth is the beginning of progress self-worth should be easy if one of us can do it all of us can do it if anybody can think it we all can think it I can read you can read I can understand you can understand from where I came from the few simple things I did and tried revolutionized my life and 5 years there isn't anybody
here that can't do it change from pennies to Fortune change from nothing to something change from broke to rich anybody in this room can do it if any of us can do it we all can do it that's the kind of value you should place on yourself if Jim ran can understand it I can understand it if he can read I can read if he can find it I can find it if he can change I can change if he can get it done I can get it done that's the attitude about yourself a person's
successful if they know where they are and they know where they're going and they're progressively moving in that direction he said that success was the progressive realization of a worthy ideal anyone has a goal and they're moving towards it they're successful sometimes we have to stand up inside ourselves sometimes we have to fight ourselves sometimes you have a dream and goal that you want to achieve and you say oh I can't do that you got to tell yourself to shut up I can do it don't tell me I can't do that sometimes you got to
talk to yourself I can't do I'm May voice oh I can do this oh I will do it I have got to do this which you you think about your dream and I want you to increase your dream dramatically and I said you have something special I'm telling you what I know you have greatness in you you have the ability to do more than you can ever begin to imagine I don't even know you but I'm telling you what I know from my own experience and greatness ladies and gentlemen greatness it's a choice it's not
your destiny most people never discover their greatness most people ladies and gentlemen go to their graves living a life of mediocrity you have to know your why in order to achieve your goals knowing your why matters and based on the research it's because when you know why something matters to you it helps you with self-regulation it helps you prioritize doing the work over other things that are as not as important but are easier to do and this is essential because if you know that something matters you'll come home after ski practice instead of taking a
few extra runs with your friends and you'll work on college applications because you know why it matters you'll get out of bed a little bit earlier to chip away at your resume instead of sleeping in this weekend because you'll know why it matters I want you to be able to say something to yourself that will enable you to maintain a level of Integrity with yourself that when you say this even when you face tremendous setbacks it it will be a bench Mark to keep you in the game to keep you moving forward and experimenting and
readjusting your strategy and your plan of action continuously looking for ways to win so what is that something when you got an idea you want to move on you might not have the money you might not have the education you might not have the support or resources you need what is that something that can keep us going that will enable us to act on our Dream what's one of those keys that will begin to help us to discover the secrets to our Dream here's what I want you to repeat after me please with power and
conviction say it's possible that's all I want you to do when you look at your dream just say to yourself every day it's possible just say that every day to yourself it's possible because what does that do see it begins to change your belief system it's a manifestation of what we believe what's possible for us whatever you've done up to this point all that it really is is a duplication it's a reproduction of what you believe subconsciously that you deserve and what's possible for your life
