Dear fellow internet marketer and personal developer!
In this post we will cover the importance of the power of having a CLEAR AND EMPOWERING GOAL, both PERSONALLY and BUSINESS wise….
First, lets just cover one basic element in the human psyche. We as humans are driven buy two twin forces.:
- The need to avoid pain
- The need to gain pleasure
Just to make it CLEAR: We will do more to avoid pain, than we will ever do to gain pleasure. For instance: If you do not know if the roof above you will hold, you will not pay attention to ANYTHING else…..
So what do this have to do with setting goals? Everything. You see, the goals you set for yourself NEEDS to be in line with what you REALLY want, and what you DON’T want (very similar).
So based on this knowledge, we will list a few simple steps to get your business going.
PS! REMEMBER: 20% OFF ALL SUCCESS IS KNOWLEDGE, 80% IS PSYCHOLOGY…..IT’S ALL UP to US!!!
The reason for a goal setting process, is to wire your brain to automatically drive against your goal in line with what you as a WHOLE human being want.
So here it is:
- Be Clear & Specific. You have to know what you want out of your life. Not something general as just a mill $. You need to be specific. What, when and how???
- When you know what you want, then you need to go through WHY YOU WANT IT? This step is CRITICAL!! You and you brain will maneuver after pleasure, and how to avoid pain…
- a) So here you should make a list on a pice of paper: 10 reasons on how your life will look like if you DON’T reach your goals. Be present when you do that, and produce as much negative feelings as you can (avoid pain). b) Then do the same about how your life will LOOK like WHEN you reach your goals (10 reasons on how your life will be WHEN you reach your goals). Try to generate as much feelings as you can when you go through this step.
- See yourselves 1 months from now with your goals in hand. Then do the same three months from now, and finally six months from now. Use your imagination!!!!!!!
This is just a simple, but a very POWERFUL tool to reach your goals and dream. We did not come up with it, so if you like to study this more, please go to www.tonyrobbins.com.
Have a wonderful and productive day!!
Yours Respectfully

Yeah, goal setting works…IF…
1) There is an emotional commitment to the goal. That is, it is more than a distant dream.
2) Daily and weekly habits are formed to support that goal. This is where most people who set but don't achieve goals fail.
3) We have partners to help us keep our difficult habits. Essentially, we are adding the discipline and accountabilty of others to our own faltering self discipline.
The application of this to running or other athletic endeavours is huge. We set a goal to run that marathon, we establish the weekly habitual training routine, we partner with others who will run with us, especially on those cold and raining days…and we end up reaching our goals!
