Setting New Years Resolutions? Learn From My Mistakes you#Best Education Page #Online Earning

hey what's up life masters this is

Stefan James from project life mastery

to day I want to help you with your New

Year's resolutions the years coming to

an end and the new year is right around

the corner and if you're like me you're

already getting ready prepared excited

maybe you're already setting some goals

for the new year so that you can hit the

ground running and really make that next

year your best year yet

that's always my goal every single year

I want to make sure that the new year is

better than the year before and that

every single year my life is getting

better if you set that as your goal as

your standard then it will and I love

this time of the year because it's a

fresh opportunity it's a clean slate

that every year the year the past is

dead and gone and you're presented with

this new opportunity to set new goals

commitments and make new decisions that

can transform your life for the better

that can really set a new course a new

direction for your life you know when I

look at my life guys and everything that

I've been blessed to accomplish and

achieve in every aspect of my life I

attribute most of that to setting goals

you know I set goals a specific

direction in each area in my life my

health my relationships my business my

finances and I don't always achieve

every goal as you guys know I share my

goals here pretty transparently on my

blog and have since 2012 every single

year I'm not sure if I'll do so next

year or not I'm still undecided about

that but by sharing it and setting goals

you've been able to see what is possible

I do believe that whatever the mind can

conceive and believe it can achieve and

there's a lot that I've learned of

setting goals that I want to share with

you here your resolutions or what not

but also things that have been mistakes

that I've made other people have made

that I want to help you avoid and if

you've never done goal-setting before

that's okay this is a brand new

opportunity it's the time to start that

habit because it's amazing what you can

achieve sometimes you know we often

overestimate what we can do in a year

but underestimate in a decade and when I

look at the last decade of my life what

I've been able to accomplish and do an

experience has been incredible far

beyond what I could even imagined and so

I really want to promote the idea of

goal-setting I think it's really

powerful and life-changing so with that

said let me dive into some things that

can help you number one you want to make

sure that your goals are

marked goals okay smart goal smart is an

acronym for a specific measurable

attainable realistic and having a

timeline okay so let's talk about

specific one big mistake that people

make as their goals are not specific

they say I want to make more money I

want to lose weight but they're not

specific about how much money how much

weight they're not clear on really what

they want and you've got to have that

you've got to have a clear destination

of where you're trying to go so if you

want to make more money how much money

do you want to make in the new year

write that down

write down the dollar amount if it's in

your business write down how much

revenue and how much profit but be

specific about that if you want to lose

weight don't just say I wanna lose

weight because if you lose a pound great

you accomplished your goal but I'm sure

you want to lose more than a pound I'm

sure there's a specific amount of weight

that you want to lose or again or

whatever it is but set that amount if

it's 30 pounds set that is it 30 pounds

of fat 30 pounds of fat and water and

muscle or is it just 30 pounds you don't

care fat muscle water it's just 30

pounds but even being clear on that is

important so whatever goals you're gonna

set make sure it's specific and make

sure it's measurable what makes it

measurable is also when you set an

amount something that you can track your

progress over a period of time if you

know exactly how much you want to make

then you can actually backwards engineer

and break down that if you want to make

that at 12 months then six months you're

gonna make this amount and month three

you got to make that amount you can

actually measure your progress same

thing if you want to lose 30 pounds now

you can actually measure month by month

how many pounds you got to lose every

month in order for you to achieve that

goal now one thing I'm gonna add here

you want goals that are result oriented

but also process oriented so let me

explain the difference a result is that

specific result that you're after

I want to make $100,000 I want to make I

want to lose 30 pounds right

I want to attract and be in a

relationship with an amazing man or

woman and even that by the way you want

to be specific about what you want the

qualities the character the appearance

all of that of that person of what you

want to attract them more clear you are

the easier it is for you to actually

attract it and manifest

stay in your life but going back to

result process so that's the result the

process is what what it takes it's like

the action plan to achieve that result

now the result you don't have full

control over okay you don't have full

control over how much money you make or

how much fat that you lose you have

influence over it but there's no

guarantee sometimes you end up making

less money or more sometimes you end up

not even losing weight but you gain

muscle and you end up looking better at

the end but you got to understand the

process so what I like to do the process

is what you have control over and I set

goals for that so the process of losing

the 30 pounds what what is another goal

you gotta set that is a process-oriented

goal that will support you achieving

that result an example might be that you

got to go to the gym three days a week

you know or five days a week and if you

do that every single week it's going to

lead you to achieving that result of

losing 30 pounds or maybe it's following

a certain diet nutrition program for

five days a week or six days a week and

you have that one cheat day right by

having having that process that's

something that you know you can follow

through on and their actions and habits

that you can do that will lead to that

result of what you ultimately want and

the same thing goes with starting a

business or making money how much money

do you need to save you need to you know

maybe work some extra hours or get a

second job or start your business what

does that entail if it's an online

business okay by month three I'm gonna

have launched a product on Amazon or I'm

gonna have built my blog and I'm gonna

publish a blog post once a week or a

YouTube video once a week or whatever it

is what is that process break that down

as well and have goals for that as well

as the result

okay so specific measurable that will

help you measure it because then you can

see whether or not you're on track you

know when an airplane is taken off and

it's going from Los Angeles to New York

it knows how to get there based on the

specific destination

now when that airplanes in the sky is

actually off course more so most of the

time you know the winds and everything

make that airplane go off course but

what allows it to course adjust and get

back on track is knowing that

destination of where it wants to be so

it can always make the adjustments along

the way to get there

with your goals you know you want to

have a measurable goal that you could

check in on an irregular basis to

determine whether or not you're on track

so that you can course adjust okay so

specific measurable attainable and

realistic what does that mean so a

mistake that a lot of people make

including myself with sitting goals that

are too unattainable too unrealistic now

I'm all for unrealistic but unrealistic

comes from the vision that you have for

your life like the 10-year vision you

want that to be unrealistic you want to

say 10 years from now I can be a

millionaire if I want or a billionaire

or have a boat have an island living in

a pentose and buy a home a mansion

whatever it is you can absolutely

achieve some pretty incredible

unrealistic things in a 10-year span but

most people they set unrealistic goals

in a year and that's not the proper use

of that so for example some people they

set the goal I want to make a million

dollars in a year but they've never made

more than 60-thousand in a year in their

life that's pretty unrealistic or

they're gonna say I want to lose a

hundred pounds and they've never lost

ten pounds before I want to build an

online business and make a hundred

thousand in my first year but they've

never even made any money online and

they're brand-new and they have no

experience what happens when you set

these goals that are so unrealistic as

you set them and then every year you

come up short every year your success

rate is zero and you do a good effort in

but you're wondering you know I'm

setting these goals but it's not working

I'm setting these goals but you're after

a year I'm failing and what that does to

your brain and your psyche is you lose

out confidence and belief in setting

goals you think well why even set a goal

this year because every year I failed

every year I set goals and never fall

through and never did it and it never

materialized and so you get discouraged

and you don't get any momentum from

doing it and so for me what I've learned

is I always make sure that I set goals

that I know that I can achieve okay

there are in that one year the

unrealistic ones ten year plus goals the

vision that it you know takes I don't

it's harder to wrap your head around

it's more for the excitement purpose but

the short-term goal is within a year I

know that I can hit an achieve so here's

a formula for you for setting goals

honest okay you want belief in does

okay belief in desire when it comes to

the desire for the goals that you set on

a scale from one to ten you at least

want it to be a level seven eight nine

or ten okay if it's less than a seven

like if you set a goal your desire for

it it's like a two they're probably not

going to do anything to achieve it

okay so that's not a good goal so you at

least want it to be a seven out of ten

on the desire now the belief side of

things

you also want that to be a seven out of

ten or more and so seven eight nine or

ten with the belief so here's the thing

you could set a goal that you have a 10

and a 10 desire for like I want to make

a million bucks and maybe your desire

for that is a 10 you're excited you want

that you're motivated for it but if your

belief for that is a 2 then that's a

conflict you're not likely to to

actually take action to achieve it so my

sweet spot is setting goals where my

desire is at least a 7 and my belief is

at least a 7 okay so I know that I can

achieve it 7 out of 10 there's there's

may be some doubts but but really I know

that I can if I work hard enough for it

if I commit myself I know that I can

achieve that goal and I wanted enough to

put in the effort and everything for it

so maybe for you you know it's finding

the goals that are in that sweet spot I

know for me starting an online business

for example my first goal was always

just to make a dollar right if I can do

that I was excited for that I wanted

that and I had the belief that yeah you

know what make an adult a dollar is not

that hard it might take some effort and

time and some months to do that but I

know that once I achieve that you'd open

up all these new opportunities for me my

next goal was to make a hundred bucks

and you know I had more belief and

desire for that when I hit that the next

goal is how can I make a hundred bucks a

month consistently and then that's how

can I make five hundred bucks and a

thousand bucks and I just always scaled

it up I always just up the ante and that

gave me confidence and momentum every

time that you set a goal and you achieve

it you get confidence from it and

there's nothing wrong also with

overachieving with your goals as well so

attainable and realistic I think is

important because the mistake that I

mean a lot of people make is they just

keep coming up short they lose all

confidence and belief and they build an

identity as a failure which is the

opposite of what you want you want to

make sure you set yourself up to win and

when you set

chiva goal you give yourself confidence

from that you get momentum and that

gives you confidence to pursue greater

goals as well so specific measurable

attainable realistic and the last one is

a tee a timeline you want to make sure

you have a timeline for your goal so you

have a deadline for when you're going to

achieve it by without a deadline it's

just a dream it's just something that's

in your head but it's not kind of creat

and it's not it's not real when you

actually schedule it it becomes real for

you so making sure you have a deadline

whatever goals that you're setting at

what day are you gonna have achieve that

goal by because also when you have that

deadline it gives you a sense of

accountability it forces you to follow

through because you've got a deadline

that you've got to make sure you've

achieved that goal by it's no different

when you go to school University the

teacher gives you a project a test

homework and there's a specific deadline

for that that deadline forces you to

follow through and take action to

achieve it because of that deadline

that's there if that no deadline you're

never gonna get around to doing it so

having a deadline is key so having SMART

goals is really important I also

recommend writing down your goals

language it in a way that excites you

and motivates you if you look at my

goals on my blog and everything I write

them down in a way that I will easily I

will easily make a million dollars by

December 31st and an example of why I

write it out that way is because it

empowers me when I say it I like goals

that I can speak out loud I can see it

as an affirmation I can read it out loud

and I like to condition it and ingrain

it in my psyche on a daily basis and by

using language like I will I will

presupposes that you're gonna do it

versus saying I want that that's kind of

wishy-washy in my opinion I like saying

I will or I have or acting as if or

assuming as if I already achieved it and

then using words like easily it just

makes it you know more enjoyable to

pursue sometimes I write I will easily

achieve X and enjoy the process so I try

to think about ways I can language it to

make it more compelling and more

exciting for me what matters it's no

right or wrong with this is what works

for you what excites and compels you

that when you speak it out loud and you

read it and you focus on it and

of eights you to go for it so writing

out your goals I think is really

valuable another thing also is

accountability having someone else that

you're accountable to beside yourself a

lot of people they set their resolutions

and goals but they never achieve them

because they don't have accountability

they're only accountable to themselves

and someone they set a goal they say

they're gonna do something and they

don't do it there's not much of a

consequence for that no one else knows

it's like only you know about it and you

kind of feel bad about yourself and you

self-esteem goes down and you beat

yourself up because you didn't achieve

your goal you didn't do it but when you

know that you can easily back out but if

you tell other people if you got a coach

if you got a community if you have

friends if you got a mastermind whatever

it is you tell them this is what I'm

committed to you're more likely to

follow through because now you're not

just letting yourself down you're

letting other people down and we often

care about whether people think of us

and so you're more likely to follow

through so that's what I did on project

life mastery in 2012 I I started this

blog on my YouTube channel to publicly

share my goals with the world and by

doing it it didn't matter what anyone

else thought but I knew by doing that it

forced me to follow through because I

didn't want to look like a failure I

guess I didn't want it I tell everyone

about it so that it would create more

pressure for me to take action on my

goals so you could do it online you

could do it with your friends you can do

it's your mastermind you can do with

your coach you can do it with somebody

anyone but having that accountability I

think is such a beneficial and important

thing I think another important piece to

that I want to give you is making sure

that you have a process for regularly

checking in on your goals I often do it

on a weekly basis but maybe it's a

bi-weekly basis a monthly basis or a

quarterly basis but having a regular

check-in is important because when you

check in on your goals maybe you've been

working on it for two months when you

check in on it you can actually assess

and evaluate what you did and you can

ask yourself am i following through or

not I mean am I still on track with this

you know what else do I need to do maybe

I got to adjust my plan but it forces

you to course adjust to make sure you

get back on track with it a great

program I learned this from it's called

a hundred a challenge by Gary Ryan Blair

and it's a goal-setting program I've

been through it multiple times

I'll link to it if you want to check it

out but it's great because it teaches

you something auld an after-action

review where you you you have to check

in on a weekly bi-weekly basis and

really evaluate the progress or lack

thereof you've been making and that's

such an important part of the process

otherwise you're gonna fall into the

habit of setting these goals and

resolutions committing to it and then

you're it's going to go by and you

didn't do anything and at that point

you're going to be like why even bother

set these goals and resolutions because

you never had a system for success in

the first place you really got to make

sure that you set that up the best way

that you can

another thing that to be aware of too is

with goals be mindful of how many goals

you want to set for me I set a lot of

goals every year and I set goals for

each area in my life and I think that's

important for me there is in my life

that are the most important are my

spiritual life my health my

relationships my emotions and yes my

business and money and success is also

important and a lot of people need to

set goals for that but for me I want to

make sure I prioritize all areas of my

life because that that for me is life

mastery that's what I want to strive

towards

so I set goals for each area but you

also have to be mindful of how many

goals that you can handle I think a lot

of people they set too many goals

without the track record of achieving

them and if you struggle with that like

if you struggle just achieving five

goals then there's no point in setting

that mini you know maybe you gotta set

two goals and get in the habit of just

doing that and achieving that before

you're ready for more or maybe you can

do more than five or ten goals whatever

that is for you I think you got to find

that amount that's manageable for you

that doesn't overwhelm you and stress

you out too much that you know is

achievable but also stretches you a

little bit - you want your goals to

stretch you to challenge you but also

not be too unattainable and unrealistic

and for me there's been times where I

over set too many goals and it could be

a little bit too much now I build myself

up to do a lot more than maybe an

average person can but I didn't start

that way I started just having a few

goals and then once I achieve those

every year I was able to expand and do a

little bit more and so for me that's

something that I built up to over a

period of time

so deciding how many goals you want to

set but I would encourage you at least

have one goal for each area of your life

each area that's important for you so

that way you can still have a balance

and progress in the different parts of

your life the other thing that I want to

share with you the last piece is having

some flexibility you know for me when I

first started goal-setting what I needed

to do at that stage in my life I had a

hard time following through I struggled

with it guys I really was a dabbler and

I'd set these goals and I never did them

and for me what I had to work on is

setting goals and having integrity to do

whatever it takes to do them too no

matter what I'm gonna do it if I don't

feel like it I can't change my mind

because I had the habit of just like

sitting goals changing my mind and then

jumping from one goal to the next to the

next and sure enough you never achieve

anything so I had to be very rigid with

myself had to be very disciplined I did

not allow myself to waver from my goals

and my commitments it forced me to be

more careful about what I commit to you

because when I commit to it I'm gonna do

it so for me that's something I did

originally but then I realized there's

some limitations with that later on what

I've learned is that having flexibility

is valuable there's sometimes other

opportunities come up and if you're too

rigid and you don't allow yourself to be

flexible and reprioritize or adapt then

you can miss out on those great

opportunities so for me now like an

example is this year this year you know

I had all my goals laid out and some of

them a lot of them I had to change

because better opportunities came up and

I had to reevaluate a simple example was

had an opportunity to partner up with

Tony Robbins my mentor once in a

lifetime opportunity and I had a

opportunity to go to Fiji and go to his

resort and spend time with them and

mastermind with tony and russell brunson

and all these incredible people that I

look up to that was not one of my goals

I didn't discover that opportunity to

like February of the year so for me I

had to really look at my goals and be

willing to change them to be willing to

say you know what this is a better

opportunity but if I'm gonna pursue this

it means I'm gonna have to say no to

some other opportunities and other goals

that I've already set for myself so that

flexibility was important because by

pursuing that goal it changed my life

more than many other goals that I had

set for that year I ended up going

and spending time with Tony one of my

goals was to go to Europe as well but I

had to change that because now here I'm

in Fiji I might as well go to New

Zealand I might as well Kota Thailand

and Singapore and spent some time in

that part of the world so I had to

change up my travel because of the new

opportunity that came from that so for

me like early on in my journey I the

flexibility would just lead to dabbling

so I had to be more rigid but now today

I don't have that same issue and I can

be more flexible and adapt with my goals

every year so I think you got to

determine where you are with that but

maybe you might have to be a bit more

rigid to get yourself to follow through

or maybe you're in a position where

that's not a challenge for you like it

was for me and you can be more flexible

with your goals after you know

throughout a year for example so it's

good to know where you're at with that

but overall guys that's a lot that I

want to share with you I think the most

important thing is just set goals set

goals do the best you can for it check

in on them on a regular basis you might

not achieve every goal but understand

the purpose of goals is what it makes of

you who you become along the way along

the journey is really what counts the

most

for me it doesn't matter how much I've

made and all the material external

things that I've been able to achieve

all of that has just forced me to grow

and become a better more successful

human being more confident human being a

leader a giver all of these character

character traits that you cultivate and

develop along the journey is really what

matters the most so even though yes you

will fail you will come up short on some

goals but that's okay learn from it grow

from it set some new goals don't let

that hold you back from setting your

goals in the future and keep striving to

make progress in your life I think that

is such a valuable thing so I want to

wish you a new year hopefully you

benefited from this I'd love to hear

some of the goals that you're going to

set for the year I haven't decided yet

whether or not no publicly share mine or

not for the new year I've done my goals

reports in the past but they don't tend

to get the most views out of everything

else that I do so I'm not sure how much

of an interest there is in it I know

there's a tribe of people that do enjoy

it and do benefit from it but I might

just take a year off from it and maybe

revisit it in the next year but I don't

know I'll think about a little bit more

but I'd love to hear some of your goal

and what you're gonna focus on for the

new year or if you have any tips or

things that have helped you then be sure

to comment below and share otherwise

thank you so much I look forward to

seeing you again soon god bless and take

care

you
