hi there welcome back to the Lisa Nichols show where we share the tools and techniques to really achieve the life that you want tell the story that you want to be told live the dream that you have matter-of-fact turned dreams into your reality one step at a time here we have transparent authentic conversations that aren't always comfortable to hear but necessary to hear that lead you to the next best version of yourself here it's okay to it's okay to dream big it's okay to dream ginormous and then it's necessary to find out the action steps
to get there you know I think that we all should have big goals I think that we should have a huge ginormous dream you know I believe that if your goal doesn't make you a little scared then you're not dreaming big enough if your dream don't make your knees knock and your teeth chatter then dream bigger that if you know the how the moment you create the what then make your what bigger like what you want in life needs to be so big you don't quite know all the how there's no way I could have
told you how to do what I've done there's no way I just all I did was one more step in one more step you know a friend of mine says that you know a 2,000 mile journey you know don't focus on the 2,000 miles focus on 200 miles I like to say don't even focus on 200 miles focus on 20 miles and I like to also say sometimes focus on two miles not even 20 like what's the next step so here's my strategy you might want to write this down that when you're looking at a
goal a big bold goal a big bold go most people just stare at that goal that's why New Year's resolutions are set on January 1st and by March 31st or 30th or whatever you don't want anyone to remember them you don't remember them you know anyone else remember because we never chopped the goal down into bite-size digestible palatable pieces so the first thing you want to do is break your goal down and to bite-size digestible palatable pieces and the way you do that is you have this goal you have this big goal underneath each goal
and and it might the numbers might change but this is a good rule of thumb underneath every goal have three milestones a milestone is a big point that lets you know you're going in the right direction I use that a lot when people are giving me directions because I make a habit of getting lost even yes you know what GPS in Google don't know how it works so I like to say what build am I gonna pass what lets me know I'm on the right path oh Lisa you're gonna you're gonna pass a three story
beige building you know you're going in the right direction you're gonna pass a chevron station you know you're going in the right direction so these milestones let you know that when you hit them you're going in the right direction now under the three milestones and right mind you the - milestones the three milestones are under the goal right under the three milestones under each milestone is at least five action steps these action steps are the things that are going to move you forward on a daily basis action steps are daily actions that you do to
move you towards your goal now when you chunk it down into bite-sized palpable digestible pieces the action steps are getting you to the milestones the milestones are getting to the goal so what you begin to look at is the action steps and the milestones more than you're looking at this big huge bodacious amazing ginormous goal you're simply looking at the milestones and under the milestones you're laser on the action steps and that allows you to move forward like I didn't think that I would be I would touch 36 million people a year with my brand
I wanted to motivate Los Angeles and I wanted to motivate people that were healing I wanted to inspire people who had a dream and I just kept going up one step after another after another I wanted to transform my son's life first and then I was able to transform other teens like then I was able to transform their parents lives and by the grace of God I've been able to transform a few people's lives but it didn't start that way I started with a small group of people and so dream big and then get detailed
and stay in action most people dream about their dream way too long they're dreaming but they're not in action Joan Baez says that action is the antidote to despair Lisa Nichols adds action is the prescription for that success you say you know when people ask me how did I do it I said the only difference between you and I is that I'm in more action on a daily basis than you so what I love about action radical action is that it's available to everybody get in radical action and then you'll see things happen now it's
time that I hear from you you've heard from me now I want to hear from you remember this is a dialogue we're in a relationship where we're both you and I are cheering each other along finding out what's the best way to take ourselves to the next level to the next best version of ourselves listen what was your biggest takeaway please tell me what was your biggest takeaway from today's topic what did you learn about setting goals how will you set goals differently what's your goal what's your goal and and how real do you know
it to be and now how have you shifted and how much you know you can achieve it how can you break it down into bite-size digestible palpable pieces I want to know what your goal is number one I want to know what your goal is so that I can hold the space for you I can hold the intention with you that that becomes your reality and two I want to know what you're working on so that when we see each other again but I know what to hold you accountable to leave a comment below I
