USLM3- The Journey to Success

[Shannon]

Set your goals on the stars. Nothing is too high. Then extend your stairs to the stars, and start climbing them. You may not be there right now, but nobody takes the entire staircase in one or two steps!

Just started this program yesterday. Been tired and have had a slight headache all day, so something must be happening. ***** up my playlist so it might have been running for 8 hours.

When we set our goals using this program, should we set very specific and measurable goals like: "On 1 December 2019 I will get a promotion and earn 100.000 USD each month" or should we set goals that are more aimed towards our belief-system like: "I am confident that I am a world class lawyer and that I successfully can establish my own profitable law practice" ?

Too-specific goals are too limiting in how they must be achieved. Choose a goal that has the leeway to be achieved in the best way. The more specific you get, the fewer the options you have for going from where you are to where you want to go.

"I am confident that I am a world class lawyer and that I successfully can establish my own profitable law practice"

Isn't a goal, it's an affirmation.

I find that it is most useful to use phrasing that optimizes it for what, how and when, because that may be something I can't imagine or see. I've been surprised on more than one occasion when I left it open to my subconscious to choose the best way to achieve a goal.

The goal is separate from the time frame, specifics, etc. The more you specify, the fewer ways there are of achieving it.

You could do something like this:

"My goal is to be a world class lawyer, and successfully establish my own extremely profitable law practice"

Or

"My goal is to be the best and most successful lawyer in the world, and successfully establish, run and benefit from my own extremely profitable and long lived law practice"

The end goal drives everything that leads up to it. It's called the "thrown anchor" technique. Basically, you pick your end goal, and then you work towards that. You don't need to know how Points B through Y go... you can figure those out as you get to them. But from Point A, you want to get to Point Z. Most people try to go from Point A to Point B, or point C, maybe Point D. But the shorter term you think, the less likely you are to achieve that optimal final possible goal.

So the long term goal has to be basically so high that you're aiming for the stars.

Then you break that down into medium and short term goals, and start accomplishing them one at a time.

An example. Let's say I want to become a millionaire. That's my long term goal.

To do that I have to make my subliminals super powerful and super effective, so everyone wants to buy them and concludes that they got more than they paid for, thus resulting in lots of word of mouth advertising and repeat customers. That's my medium term goal.

To make them super powerful and effective, I have to understand why they're not, and then fix that. That's a medium term goal or short term goal, depending on how long this takes. It's been years now, so depending on the time frame we conclude we are overall working with, it might be short term (if I'm willing to work on becoming a millionaire for decades longer) or medium term (if I want to become one within the next 5 or 10 years.

My case is the latter, so it's become a medium term goal for me.

To understand why they're not, I need to get feedback from my customers and analyze it. Then I make improvements, re-release and repeat until I understand the problem, and have corrected it. Each of these steps becomes a short term goal.

So in pursuit of becoming a millionaire, I am researching why my programs are not doing what I want them to do and developing the technology so that they do by analyzing the results my customers get and making incremental improvements until I have achieved my goal of becoming a millionaire as a natural consequence of having achieved my medium and short term goals.

So I might word my goal like this:

It is my goal to successfully become at least a millionaire within the next 5 years by doing what is necessary to make my subliminals the best and most sought after subliminals in the world, without harming anyone in the process.

Now that's actually not my goal exactly, but it's in that direction. But for me, all that is a medium term goal, not my long term goal. My long term goal is going to be financed by my medium term goal.

Hope this helps.
