Planning Your Success

Getting results doesn't happen by chance or by miracle - it happens with intelligent planning. This exercise includes the secret that
most 'experts' know nothing about - setting and achieving goals.
Remember, failing to plan is planning to fail.

If you don't want to be one of the 98% of dieters who fail, then take the time to do this exercise - it will change your life.


1 - Start with a Vision

Your Vision is your mental image of the life you would love to live. Your Vision is much broader and more compelling than a goal. Your goals are easier to achieve when they are attached to a Vision that you created.

When you encounter challenges, which you will, your Vision will inspire you to keep going because it is more meaningful than a goal. You will have less distraction and will not allow obstacles to slow you down when you have a clear Vision. Your Vision involves all areas of life and you can start with 2-3 sentences in each area. Ask yourself, who would I love to be in each area:

a) Physical - health/fitness/material goods like clothing, car, house, etc
b) Personal - mental/emotional growth; what makes you unique?
c) Career - do you love what you do? what would you love to do?
d) Financial - how much would you love to earn, invest and spend?
e) Family - immediate or future family
f) Social - socializing, networking, contributing to society
g) Spiritual - your connection with god, the universe or others


2 - Set Specific Goals

List 2-3 SPECIFIC and REALISTIC goals you would love to achieve THIS MONTH ONLY. Don't just say 'lose weight' or 'I want to be happy' - get crystal clear on what you would love to do with your body, health and fitness. Be creative and think outside the box - workout schedule, grocery shopping, fun & creative endeavors, energy levels, body fat, drop one dress size, lose inches, new wardrobe, weekend sports with your nephews, snowboarding or surfing lessons, hiring a coach, quality sleep, better focus and clarity, balanced emotions, etc...


3 - Attach Your Goals to Your Vision

Go through each part of your Vision and list 5-10 reasons how achieving this goal will enhance or benefit that part of your Vision. For example, if your goals is to lose 5 pounds of body fat, start with your favorite part – i.e. Spiritual - and list how being lean, healthy, stronger and 5 pounds lighter will enhance your ability:
to connect with, be more present and compassionate with others, love yourself & family better, less focused on body image and bloating and more focused on journaling, reading or spending time developing a spiritual practice or studying world religions. Whatever your definition of spiritual is – just list the benefits and your goals become much more inspiring than just 'lose wei.ght' or ‘join a gym.’
