Law 4 To reach any Significant Goal you must leave your Comfort Zone

The main idea here is this...The gap between your governing values and your daily activities are measurable "goals".
 
"Achieving any goal means leaving the familiar and venturing into a new area. Many people don’t like to leave their present comfort zones, and therefore never set goals. By failing to set goals, they also fail to ever make any meaningful progress."



2 kinds of goals
Long-range goals describe what you want to accomplish.

Intermediate goals and daily tasks break it down into how to
actually do it.

Effective goals are:
Specific - stating exactly what is to be accomplished.
Measurable - with dates and ways to show progress.
Action-Oriented - specifying things to be done.
Realistic - within reach if you stretch and work hard.
Timely -achievable within a reasonable period of time.


Most people find it helpful to set goals in each of the following
areas:
- Physical well-being
- Family/Spouse
- Spiritual/Humanitarian
- Financial
- Company/Career
- Company/Strategic
- Community/Political
- Education/Personal Development



Get out a Piece of Paper and pen and WRITE DOWN your goals!

3 common obstacles to leaving your comfort zone:
1. Peer pressure.
"You may be afraid of what your friends, family or work associates will think, and therefore you try and live in harmony with their values rather than following your inner urges."

2. Walls.
"Sometimes you may feel walled in by past mistakes or circumstances. You may feel that circumstances beyond your control make it impossible to set out in a new direction. Remember: It really doesn’t matter what other people think."

3. Fear of Change.
"Some people would much rather live with a familiar problem than try to change and risk coming into contact with a new and unfamiliar problem. In the final analysis, these fears should never stand in the way
of setting goals which will enable you to follow your dreams. In most situations, present failure is not the end of the world, and you have the opportunity to come back again next time smarter and better prepared to succeed."

Nothing can stop a determined soul.

So what is stopping you from reaching your goals??

Figuring out your Why and your Goals is not a one-time deal. You should revisit your why and goals often, that way it will help you to stay focused and motivated in order to achieve what you set out to do.

The first day of every month is a great time to figure out your goals for that month. Write them down!

Having weekly goals is also a great idea. For many the start of the week is Monday. So each Monday morning set out your goals for that week.

The 4 Aces: Certainty and your GOALS

The 4 Aces: Certainty & your Goals

So let's say you have a deck of cards. It's a normal deck like every other. It has 4 aces. If you turned over 10 cards but didn't find an Ace would you believe that there are still 4 aces in there?

How about if you turned over 25 cards and still NO ACE - do you still believe that there are 4 Aces??

If turning the cards meant it would eventually bring you financial freedom, all you had to do was find 4 Aces - would you give up?

What if you turned over 45 cards and still no ace - would you keep going?

You KNOW and you are CERTAIN there are 4 aces right??? So YEAH you would keep going.

Well - Are you CERTAIN your business can work? Has it worked for others? Are you doing what they did? Can you do what they did?

If the answer is YES - others have done it
YES I can do what they did
YES I have someone to show me how
YES I am willing to learn

Then you need to start turning the cards and keep going till you find your 4 Aces...NEVER give up.

Success

If you want to succeed - in whatever you are doing - then you must make a long term commitment to really change.

The majority of companies out there focus on the "quick fix" whether it be for weight loss, careers, success, money, home business, etc...

In order to have true success you need to figure out

1. WHY did you want to make this change?
2. WHY is this your goal?
3. What will motivate you to stick with it?
4. What have you done that has brought you to where you are today?
5. What do you want your life to be like in 5 years? (what would you like to change)

This change will not happen overnight. It will be gradual. Consitent.

Small Changes = Easy to Change = Long Term Goal

When you are making small changes - then it's easier to make those changes. If you continue to make small changes towards your goal then you'll be able to STAY at your goal.

This is not just about change for yourself - it's also about the change of those surrounding you. Your relationships with the people around you impact your SUCCESS or FAILURE.

When you have positive flow going from you to others and then back to you - then you have the ideal situation for support to be able to reach your goals.

WHAT NEXT?

1. Accept yourself. Have a look at what got you to where you are now and come to terms with it. What are your strengths? What are your skills and talents?

2. Have a look at those around you. Do they support you? Do they offer positive energy? It will be hard - but you may need to get rid of the negative nelly's. At least until you reach your goal. They will only put you down.

3. WHY do you want to change? What do you want to change?

4. What is your goal? (make sure it's realistic) and also give it a time frame. When do you want to reach your goal by?

5. How will it make you feel to reach your goal?

6. What will motivate you to stay on track?

I hope you find this helps you to reach your goals.

To your Success!

READ THAT AGAIN.

People who follow through and achieve success are MORE afraid of what's going to happen if they don't succeed than they are of failing.


#3 Let go of PLAN B
When you make a plan B in your head - "Well if this doesn't work out then I'll get a job, or I'll do something else" you are SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE.

STOP thinking of plan B - PLAN B assumes that you are going to fail Plan A!

#4 Stop building a business or doing what you're doing to prove something to anyone else. PROVE IT TO YOURSELF.

#5 DON'T SETTLE
If your goal is $5000/month don't stop at $2000/month STICK with your plan, REACH your goal.

#6 You don't need to achieve your goal to FEEL this power of following through. You just need to have PROGRESS.

#7 Are you in a MUST situation or a DESIRE situation?
Do you NEED To make more money, or do you WANT to make more money?


#8 RECOGNIZE WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF


#9 condition your mind - do something every day to make yourself better - to move your business forward - then you'll get momentum and progress

#10 are you HUNGRY for success? If you're not - then get around people who are and you'll feel it.

It's just 1 step at a time.

When someone is CERTAIN that they can do something and get a result then you'll do it.

If it's a must for you - you gotta make it work.


POTENTIAL
What is the human potential?
Does Melaleuca have the potential to pay you what you need? or want? YUP that's proven
What do you think your potention is?

ACTION
The amount of potential you think you have will determine how much action you take.

RESULTS

BELIEF
Results will re-affirm their Belief in their potential

Usually it starts with you seeing your potential, taking action, getting your results, which then show you that YUP I was right BELIEF that I was right about my potential.

So what happens to people who don't get the results they want? What happens when people don't BELIEVE in their own potential?

Well if you don't believe, then you don't have much potential, then you don't DO much and don't get much for results. and THEN because your results sucked you don't believe in the business or yourself or the potential and it's a horrible downward spiral.

HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF YOUR RUT?

BELIEVE. Do you know for certain that you CAN achieve your goals with Melaleuca??

If you make your WHY and have a strong WHY and BELIEVE that we can give you the results you need what will happen?

Well, you'll have more belief, which will make you realize that you have more potential, then you'll take more action and get more results.

HIGHER results means progress and gives you MORE beliefe more potential, more action MORE results.

ANOTHER WAY TO GET PROGRESS

If you BELIEVE in your head the results are Going to happen for you NOW it will give you more belief and then you'll take more action.

Some people will put beliefs in your head.

For example: I KNOW I will have a beautiful home someday and a great car and I WILL BE debt free. There are people around me who are saying, Amanda no you won't, you're crazy just get a job like everyone else.

but to me it's inevitable that I WILL have those things.
