Getting Whatever You want…Is As Easy As You Want It To Be

How soon do you want to get what you want in life?
Hold on a minute, ask yourself further, the following questions : What is it that you want in life? What is the purpose and benefit of your existence? Do you have a role model(s)? What I’m saying in essence is that you must have a fixed destination that you are aiming to reach from where you are. Any individual that does not have a desire, a specific goal, an objective, the purpose for which he’s living, is like somebody setting out on a journey and does not know where he is going. The result such person would get is obvious, instant failure.

The following are the 3 Simple Steps to getting whatever you want in life :

1. Fix a Definite and Precise Goal

After a serious brainstorming on the questions above, you can decide to fix a specific goal for yourself. Though, some of the idea that would be coming to your mind may be far fetch, just list them as they come to your mind. It may be to design or invent a better way of doing a particular task, it may be to make a certain amount of money within a specific time frame, and so on. You will later work on your list and pick the one you know you most desire and start working on it immediately. This goal must have specific terminal date, because a goal without a fix date is nothing but wishful thinking. Don’t get me wrong here, you can have a daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly goal. What you need do is to strive towards achieving your set goal on or before the target date.


2. Follow a Specific and Proven Strategy

Now that a goal has been set, which is the ‘what’, the next step will be the ‘how’ i.e. thinking about the strategy to use in achieving your set goal. The first step here is to acquire the necessary knowledge on the ‘how’. You can do this in two ways, either to learn it through somebody that is already successful in the area you are venturing into and let him take you by the hand through the step by step guide on how to achieve your desired goal or to search for enough proven strategies, study them and use them as guide. The first strategy is usually preferable. For instance, if you want to have a fleet of car, own and run a successful Leasing company. What you need do is to find someone who has done that business successfully and ask him how he does it or ask him to be your mentor. You don’t necessarily need to reinvent a new strategy.


3. Jump over the Hurdles to Success

Let’s hit the nail on the head here. This is the stumbling block that stops sincere, smart, hard working people from having all that they want. Until you let go of your internal blocks to having it all, you will struggle to have more happiness, wealth and better relationships. The internal hurdles may be numerous, but you need to jump over them. Thus getting more confidence and be bold to take any step moving forward. To be frank, letting go of these success blocks can seem almost impossible. And to make even a little progress maybe difficult.

At this level you may be having some challenges that would make you fill like quitting, but this is where the power of consistency and perseverance would be of immense help. These challenges are normal, and they may let you ask yourself whether you are even on the right path. Here, it is how strong your spirit of perseverance is, that will determine your success here. But, the moment you are able to scale over these hurdles, your confidence will grow and you will be able to set new goals and do it over and over again.
