1. create a crystal clear VISION

To establish a clear vision that will inspire you to take massive action on your goals you need to become 100% honest with yourself about where you are and get crystal clear on where you want to be. Because only by defining precisely your transformation starting point along with the specific result you want to achieve you will be able to find the pathway to success.

2. set crystal clear OUTCOME(s)

Once you get remarkably clear on your vision, it’s time to set the right goals that will help you to close the GAP between your current state (your STATUS QUO) and the desired state (your future self) so that you can turn your crystal clear vision into your new reality. 

• Think about what do you want to achieve and how do you want to feel in the next 12 months within every area of your life
• Set SMART ( specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) goals
• Break down each of your goals into small manageable steps (tasks)
• Get highly specific about what your outcome(s) looks like.

For example, if you want to read more, don’t just write a goal: READ MORE

Be incredibly, insanely, extremely highly SPECIFIC and set a goal: READ ONE non-fiction book a week. And then create your booklist.

If you want to improve your physical performance, don’t limit yourself to set a goal: MORE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

Instead, choose the type of physical activity that you want to start or continue to practice, define a crystal clear and measurable outcome and create a time slot for practicing it in your calendar.

3. set powerful INTENTIONS (behind your goals)

An intention is your conscious “WHY”, the meaning behind your goal, your motive for taking direct action to attain the desired result. You need this “WHY” to be able to push through different challenges when they arise. Because the truth is, and we all know it, that sooner or later you will have to face some challenges in order to achieve your goal. And when it happens you will be prepared and well-equipped with INTENTION - your MOTIVE for action, your reason “WHY” not to give up.

4. develop a bulletproof STRATEGY

When creating a strategy for achieving your goals don’t master the art of making things much more complex than they ever need to be. Instead, opt for a simple and practical strategy that will help you avoid confusion, unnecessary complexity, and chaos. And that “magic trio” can ruin even the best idea making finishing the project extremely hard if not impossible.

Simplicity is the key to success in

• creating an effective action plan
• developing bulletproof strategy
• developing laser-like focus

There are many different ways to achieve a certain goal. They differ in the level of

• complexity 
• difficulty
• duration
• excitement
• clarity

The strategy you need to develop should be SIMPLE (but not easy), PRACTICAL (but not tedious), and EXCITING (irreverent).
