Today I will teach you my three step goal setting process I used to 10X my income. 

 

 

By the end of this Newsletter you will have a simple process you can use to create your own powerful goal statement so you can achieve your most important financial goal.

 

Let’s dive in. 

 

I never used to take goal setting seriously. 

 

That was until I read this study conducted by David Kohl, professor emeritus at Virginia Tech on goal setting from Jack Canfield’s book ‘The Success Principles’.

 

 

It’s fair to say that last sentence grabbed my attention and has stuck with me ever since.

 

I am now a religious goal setter. 

 

 

Last year on the 12th of May I set myself a Wildly Important Goal (WIG).

 

I wrote in my diary for the first time:

 

 

I had no idea how this was going to happen. 

 

In May 2022 I only earned $2,441.29 from my business… 

 

$20,000 was a 10X jump from where I was at the time!

 

But the HOW was not important. The only thing that mattered was it was something I really wanted. 

 

I started writing that goal in my diary every single morning. Because I understood one of the great secrets of life. 

 

‘You become what you think about’. 

 

Over the next 12+ months my goal evolved into this statement: 

 

 

HOW you write your goal is important. 

 

Because your language will create your reality.  

 

And on Friday the 30th of June 2023, I finally achieved my goal!

 

 

 

Now let’s walk through the three steps to help you create your own powerful goal statement so you can achieve your most important financial goal.

 

 

I’ve made the mistake of having too many goals in the past. 

 

When I had too many goals I didn’t achieve any of them. 

 

It took me a long time to learn the lesson of focus. 

 

Because if you try to catch two rabbits at once, you won’t catch either…

 

Begin by writing down a list of at least 10 financial goals you want to achieve.

 

Now order these from most important to least important. 

 

Generally what you will find is that by focusing on your most important goal, all the rest will be achieved as a by-product.

 

The next step is to write down WHY your goal is important for you to achieve. 

 

Because without a clear WHY, you will give up at the first roadblock or obstacle. 

 

For me, the $20,000 per month represented the amount of money I would need to earn to allow Kaci to be a full-time Mum and raise our children. This would give her the choice to go back to work when and if she wanted to. This was my WHY. 

 

 

Now you’re clear on your most important goal, it’s time to craft your goal statement.

 

You will do this using the BE + GIVE = HAVE formula. 

 

This is my own variation on the BE DO HAVE model which means if you want to HAVE more, you first must BE more and DO more. 

 

As Jim Rohn says – “If you want to have more than you’ve got, become more than you are.”

 

Most goals only focus on the HAVE part of the equation.

 

“I want to earn $10,000 per month”
“I want to have a million dollar share portfolio”

“I want to own my own my dream home” 

 

These goal statements are all focused on the end result and leave out the most crucial components:

 

 

Always remember, money is the by-product of VALUE and SERVICE. 

 

In your goal statement you will incorporate all three parts of the BE + GIVE = HAVE formula.

 

 

Let’s break my goal down into the BE + GIVE = HAVE so you can see what it looks like:

 

HAVE

 

 

 

Now it’s your turn.

 

Break your most important goal down into the BE + DO = HAVE components. 

 

And then turn it into a powerful statement beginning with:

 

“I, [insert name], am so happy and grateful now that…” – thanks to Bob Proctor for this opening.

 

When you read your statement out loud you want it to light you up. If it doesn’t give you that feeling, keep working on it. You must be emotionally involved in your goal.

 

And remember, your goal statement will evolve over time. Just like mine did.

 

When I’m working with my 1:1 clients I help them unpack their most important goal and build their statement. We then do a powerful role play exercise to help them embody their goal. It’s a truly powerful exercise. If you want 1:1 support with your goal then book in a call with me. 

 

 

Now that you have your powerful goal statement, you must write it in your diary every morning. 

 

Think of yourself as a computer. When you are writing your goal each day you are writing lines of code to reprogram yourself. 

 

It takes time and repetition for the new code to become your new operating system. That’s why it’s important to write it down every day. 

 

And remember, ‘you become what you think about’.

 

Each time you write down your goal, you are becoming your goal.

 

 

You are now armed with the goal setting process I used to 10X my income.

 

If you are serious about achieving your most important goal then make sure you follow these steps:
