The 101 Goal Rush Challenge...
Create your phenomenal life NOW by taking my 101 Goal Rush Challenge!
By Mark Victor Hansen
I want to start you on a wonderful path of making your dreams reality. Before we set off on this path together, let me make one thing very clear": The word "goals" can be intimidating - it can feel so overbearing that it keeps people from beginning the process.
This is why I tell my audiences to pretend they are a kid again when they are thinking about their goals. What kid do you know that didn't have a bazillion things they wanted or wanted to do?
Why 101 goals?
Many people will tell you to write down your goals, but where I am different is I tell people to write down too many goals. Here's why:
1. Goals have different gestation periods. Some are accomplished quickly, some take many years.
2. When we reach a goal, it loses power and importance for us. We need plenty more to keep our conscious and subconscious mind at work!
3. The rule of the universe is abundance. Since you can have almost everything you really want, why settle for less?
Do your goals have to be accomplished tomorrow? Next week? This year? Of course not!
Your goals can be added to, subtracted from and achieved as you move through life.
Here is a checklist to ensure you're using a successful framework to set your 101 goals.
Your most important goals must be YOURS. Not your spouse's. Not your child's. Not your employer's. Yours. When you let other people determine your definition of success, your sabotaging your own future.
Your goals must MEAN something to you. Your reasons for charting a new course of action gives you the drive and energy to get up every morning.
Your goals must be SPECIFIC and MEASURABLE. Vague generalizations and wishy-washy statements aren't good enough. Be very specific! If you want to learn to swim make sure you write, "I am taking swimming lessons at my local community center." If you write, "I want to learn to swim," you may find yourself sinking in a boat on a lake and learning the hard way!
Your goals must be FLEXIBLE. A flexible plan keeps you from feeling suffocated and allows you to take advantage of genuine opportunities that walk in your future door.
Your goals must be CHALLENGING and EXCITING. Force yourself to jump out of your comfort zone to acquire that much needed energy and edge.
Your goals must be in ALIGNMENT with your values. Pay attention to your intuition, your gut. When you set a goal that contradicts your values, something inside will twinge.
Your goals must be WELL-BALANCED. Make sure you include areas that allow time to relax, have fun and enjoy.
Your goals must be REALISTIC. Be expansive but don't be ridiculous. If you're four feet tall, you'll probably never play in the NBA Your goals must include CONTRIBUTION. Unfortunately, many people get so wrapped up in perusing their goals that they don't have time in their lives to give something back to society. Build this into your goals program.
Your goals need to be SUPPORTED. Either selectivity share a few of your dreams with a number of people, or share all of them with a select few. In either case, you're creating a web of support and accountability for yourself.
ACTION STEP:
Go for the Gusto - 101 Goals!
You're now going to embark on the greatest exercise you've ever done. You're going to make your list of 101 goals. Take out your Future Diary, journal or workbook.
If your working in a journal or sheet of paper, number the lines 1-101. Turn on some relaxing music. Sit back and relax. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Now, open your mind to ALL the possibilities. Limitations and restrictions have NO place in your life anymore. They don't exist.
As you begin to visualize EVERYTHING you want, write your goals down. I want you to start each goal with "I am" or "I will."
Ask yourself questions like:
What do I want to do?
What do I want to have?
Where do I want to go?
Where do I want to live? How many homes do I want to have?
What contributions do I want to make?
What do I want to learn? From whom? Where?
Who do I want to spend my time with?
How much do I want to earn, save and invest?
What's my idea net worth?
What will I do for fun and optimum health?
I further challenge you to write them in 20 minutes. Think like a kid... ask, ask, ask, ask! It you need more time, take it... keep going! You may want to be the president of your own company or get a 4-year free-ride scholarship to the university of your choice. But you may also want to learn to swim or write a book.
As you write your goals, don't go back and read them. If you do so, you'll probably find that you begin judging every goal - and yourself - for wanting them. Just write... then say to yourself: "This is so. I'm predicting and announcing it to myself."
Do it NOW! Change your LIFE!
