Top 3 Questions to Ask Yourself: Guaranteed to Help You Achieve Your Goals

I have 3 simple questions for you to ask yourself that are guaranteed to help you achieve your goals.

QUESTION #1 – WHAT DO I WANT?

It seems like a simple question, but if you get clear as to what you want, your mind will start to make certain distinctions. It will start to bring the ingredients in so that you can create that “thing” in your life.

For example, let’s say you were looking to build a shed. The first thing you would probably do is draw it out on a piece paper. You’d get clarity in your mind of what you wanted your shed to look like. You would know how big it was going to be. You’d figure out the dimensions. You’d know what color you wanted it to be. You’d know what type of floor would be inside. You’d know all those things, and you’d write them down on a piece of paper. Then you’d make a list of the parts that you needed to assemble it. Next, you’d head down someplace, be it Lowes or Home Depot, to buy the materials you need. Now that you are clear as to what you want, your mind will start to only really see and search out what it needs to complete the project. We’ve all gone to Home Depot or Lowes with NO GOAL and what do we walk out with? A bunch of crazy stuff that we aren’t even sure what we are going to do with later. However, if you are CLEAR on your goal when you go down there, you’re going to head to the lumber isle because you KNOW you NEED to be there. You’re going to find your 2×4’s and plywood. Next, you’re going to KNOW that you need nails. So, you’re going to head into the hardware section where the nails are being sold, and you’ll pick those up. AND, while you are going thru, you’ll see things like hinges and think: “Oh My Gosh! I forgot I need hinges for the doors!” But NOW, they will come to your mind when, otherwise, you normally wouldn’t even notice them. You’d probably walk right by them. Because YOU KNOW you’re building a shed, your mind will start to pick those things out on its own.

That’s how the mind works! AND, that’s why you need to be REALLY CLEAR as to what your goal is. Don’t just write it down on paper. Start to DESCRIBE what it really looks like and what it really feels like. When your mind gets CLEAR, it will start to find the very things in your environment that it NEEDS to put the whole deal together.

Which leads me to the next Question…

QUESTION #2 – WHO DO I NEED TO BE TO GET WHAT I WANT?

Now, I know you’re currently SOMEBODY right now, but that “SOMEBODY right now” is not getting what they want. So, you need to BE somebody else. Now, I’m not telling you to get rid of who you are because who you ARE is MAGNIFICENT. I’m saying BE who you are and MORE! Continue to develop your “I AM” statement. This is where you need to say: “I AM A SUCCESFUL ENTREPENUER!” or “I AM A LEAN MEAN FIGHTING MACHINE!”. You make these statements of who you need to be so that you can get a CLEAR picture of “that person” in your mind. Now, “that person” could be someone you just made up, it could be an image you saw in a magazine, or it could be a real person that’s getting the results that YOU WANT. And, that’s a GREAT place to look. If you can find somebody who’s getting the results YOU WANT, and take on their “persona” and start to BE that person, you will start to ACT like that person. YOU, not to sound too out there with this, but YOU will start to ATTRACT those things into your life. In truth, I don’t know if you are actually attracting them because I believe they’ve ALWAYS been there. The question is: “Were you capable of seeing it before EXPANDING who you were?” If we ADD to who you are, and we become a BIGGER “I AM”, what will happen is you’ll start to see things in your environment that you didn’t see before. It will come to you naturally. It won’t be a forced deal for you to do what you NEED to do.

Which leads me to #3…

QUESTION #3 – WHAT WOULD THAT PERSON DO TO GET WHAT THEY WANTED?

Go out! Take a look at the people that are getting the RESULTS! Take on the persona of who THAT person is and START to do what they would do! You’ll want to write all of this on a list. Get it down on a piece of paper. Brainstorm this!

WHAT DO I WANT? WHO DO I NEED TO BE? And, WHAT WOULD THAT PERSON DO? And, when you ask those questions, you’ll start to write stuff down, and it will start to flow. You will start to KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!

However, when it’s all said and done, NONE of that matters if you don’t do the NEXT STEP which is not a question at all. It’s ACT. All of these questions are great for thought starters, but at some point in time, you’ve got to PLAY THE GAME. So, once you get this list down. Don’t wait until the “perfect time”! Don’t wait until you feel motivated! GO OUT and DO IT NOW! And, KEEP ASKING THESE QUESTIONS! Each time…RESET…STEP BACK… and say to yourself: “Alright, WHAT is it that I want? Let me get clear again. WHO do I need to be? What would that person DO? Then, ACT!

Those three questions will drive you to a place you can’t IMAGINE! When you ask those questions on a regular basis, you’ll get REALLY CLEAR as to what you REALLY WANT. You’ll start to understand who you need to be, and you’ll take it on. It will BECOME who you are. It will be your “I AM”! Last but not least, you’re going to ask what that person would do. Finally, you’re going to ACT, and when you acACT, you’re going to get RESULTS!

So those are the top three questions that you can ask to make sure you achieve your GOALS.

GO OUT! GET IT DONE! LIVE FULLY! And, CHASE YOUR DREAMS!

Have a great day!
