WEBVTT - How I Write Down My Goals 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.670 Welcome back to Building Billions. It's been a minute since 0:00:18.670 --> 0:00:21.640 I've recorded a podcast because I went on a two 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:28.300 week vacation and I vacated on vacation. Weird, I guess 0:00:28.300 --> 0:00:30.370 you're supposed to do that. It was awesome. It was wonderful. 0:00:30.370 --> 0:00:32.739 We were with our business partners, Grant in Atlanta down, 0:00:32.740 --> 0:00:34.599 and I have a lot of things that I'm going 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:39.580 to share over the next little while about some opportunities, 0:00:39.580 --> 0:00:44.410 some realignment and assessing that we did on this trip. 0:00:44.409 --> 0:00:46.059 I know that I'm going to look back on this 0:00:46.060 --> 0:00:49.270 trip in ten years from now and remember how much 0:00:49.270 --> 0:00:54.160 of a catalyst it was in getting focused and going 0:00:54.190 --> 0:00:56.560 to this next level. So I will be talking about 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.840 a whole bunch of things in upcoming episodes. You're not 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.090 going to want to miss those. Don't forget to subscribe 0:01:01.180 --> 0:01:03.070 because you're going to want to know that those things 0:01:03.070 --> 0:01:06.280 are instantly downloaded. But the one thing I want to 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.190 connect on today, because it is Thursday, July 6th at 0:01:09.190 --> 0:01:12.430 337 in the middle of the workday, and I have 0:01:12.430 --> 0:01:13.930 some things I need to do, but I wanted to 0:01:13.930 --> 0:01:17.110 share with you something that I've implemented immediately after this 0:01:17.110 --> 0:01:20.650 trip that I can already tell is beneficial to me, 0:01:20.650 --> 0:01:23.380 and it's a discipline that I used to be in 0:01:23.380 --> 0:01:26.680 and that I had significant amount of gains from when 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.620 I first started implementing it. But, you know, some habits 0:01:29.620 --> 0:01:33.460 just they start and then you start doing new things 0:01:33.459 --> 0:01:38.560 and you might discard something that really worked. So drum roll, 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:43.570 ladies and gentlemen. Are you writing down your goals morning 0:01:43.569 --> 0:01:46.360 and night? Now, this does not have to be some 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.670 like 30 minute goal session. It does not have to 0:01:48.670 --> 0:01:52.510 be this big, long process for you to just like 0:01:52.510 --> 0:01:55.690 him and haul and manifest and really get yourself into 0:01:55.690 --> 0:01:58.360 some spiritual zone. I'm not talking about that. When I 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.640 talk about write down your goals, I'm talking about pulling 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.830 out a piece of paper. It can be a scratch 0:02:02.830 --> 0:02:04.660 piece of paper. It doesn't have to be some perfect 0:02:04.660 --> 0:02:08.380 gold notebook and perfectly organized and you don't have to 0:02:08.380 --> 0:02:10.570 beat yourself up that you didn't write down your goals 0:02:10.570 --> 0:02:13.419 yesterday or you forgot about it the day before does 0:02:13.419 --> 0:02:18.280 not matter. Just getting in the habit for 90s of 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.850 writing down the goals that are most important to you, 0:02:21.970 --> 0:02:25.810 for your financial targets, for your professional targets, for your 0:02:25.810 --> 0:02:29.590 relationship targets, your health targets. The impact that you want 0:02:29.590 --> 0:02:33.070 to make, your charitable targets, anything that you can conceive 0:02:33.070 --> 0:02:34.900 of or that you can think of that you want 0:02:34.900 --> 0:02:39.880 to create in this lifetime, Spend the 90s two times 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.780 a day and write those things down as quickly as possible. 0:02:43.810 --> 0:02:48.040 I have done this because of the influence of Grant 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.200 Cardone and I watched him do this while we were 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.150 on the yacht. As soon as we had what was 0:02:52.150 --> 0:02:54.190 called a postulate meeting, and I'll get into that in 0:02:54.190 --> 0:02:56.620 another episode. But we had this postulate meeting on the 0:02:56.620 --> 0:03:00.490 boat and then the next day I saw his legal 0:03:00.490 --> 0:03:03.670 pad with his goals and the goals that we had 0:03:03.669 --> 0:03:05.800 talked about and postulates was like, Oh, I have to 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.080 get back to this. And he said, Natalie, this has 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:12.609 been a successful action for me for decades. Do not 0:03:12.610 --> 0:03:16.060 violate what works. And what works is writing them down 0:03:16.060 --> 0:03:19.870 nine seconds, not in perfect handwriting, not with perfect doodles. 0:03:19.870 --> 0:03:21.820 I don't know about you, but I used to just 0:03:21.820 --> 0:03:27.190 really stop myself from moving forward with the writing down 0:03:27.190 --> 0:03:31.420 of my goals process, because I always imagined it being 0:03:31.419 --> 0:03:35.020 this like, perfect aesthetic thing where you just have this 0:03:35.020 --> 0:03:37.960 space and this time and the best journal and you're 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.830 really consistent. And I wasn't able to keep up this habit. 0:03:41.830 --> 0:03:45.790 And so I would just stop doing it altogether. And 0:03:45.790 --> 0:03:48.220 because I had let myself down the days or the 0:03:48.220 --> 0:03:50.560 weeks or the months or the years before, I didn't 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.230 want to pick it up in kind of a messy way. 0:03:53.230 --> 0:03:55.660 And I'm here to tell you the messier, the better 0:03:55.660 --> 0:03:57.400 as long as you get it in. It could be 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.790 on literally a sticky note. It does not have to 0:04:00.790 --> 0:04:03.160 be some perfect thing, but you just reminding yourself what 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.560 you're going after, what you believe your potential is, what 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.860 you really want. It changes where you spend your time. 0:04:08.860 --> 0:04:13.540 It changes and refocuses you. On what needs to happen 0:04:13.540 --> 0:04:17.140 today in order to get closer. So speaking of my goals, 0:04:17.140 --> 0:04:20.290 I have an appointment that I have to get to 0:04:20.290 --> 0:04:24.490 like right now in order to move and make progress 0:04:24.490 --> 0:04:28.450 on something that's very important to me, that's in alignment 0:04:28.450 --> 0:04:30.250 with what I'm talking about right now. It's in alignment 0:04:30.250 --> 0:04:31.479 with my goals if I have to go do it, 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.110 which means I got to go. But if you listen 0:04:35.110 --> 0:04:38.110 to this and it's middle of the afternoon, you're like, Oh, 0:04:38.110 --> 0:04:39.970 I'm not there at my goals down until the evening 0:04:39.970 --> 0:04:41.859 because Dallas said, And do it for bed. Just write 0:04:41.860 --> 0:04:45.130 it down right now. Get in the habit. Second thing 0:04:45.130 --> 0:04:47.799 on this, that's real fast because as I said, I 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.490 gots to go one day. Like Grant said, that really 0:04:51.490 --> 0:04:55.839 was impactful to me is whenever he has had a disappointment, 0:04:55.990 --> 0:05:01.580 a letdown. Somebody quit, lost a deal. There was. A problem. 0:05:01.790 --> 0:05:05.989 Instead of feeling rejected, instead of sitting in it and 0:05:05.990 --> 0:05:09.349 wallowing in it, his first response is to write down 0:05:09.350 --> 0:05:12.860 his holes and to put into perspective that it doesn't 0:05:12.860 --> 0:05:16.250 matter that you're experiencing the rejection right now. It doesn't 0:05:16.250 --> 0:05:18.830 matter that you got the no, it doesn't matter that 0:05:18.830 --> 0:05:21.589 this opportunity wasn't the opportunity that you thought it was 0:05:21.589 --> 0:05:24.020 going to be. You just have to stay focused on 0:05:24.020 --> 0:05:26.900 where you are going and who you are becoming. And 0:05:27.020 --> 0:05:29.810 that in and of itself gets you out of the 0:05:29.810 --> 0:05:33.140 slump faster so that you can brush yourself off, off, 0:05:33.140 --> 0:05:35.410 pick yourself up and go on to the next thing. 0:05:35.420 --> 0:05:38.330 So I love that. I don't know if you're experiencing 0:05:38.330 --> 0:05:40.010 a loss today. I don't know if you thought that 0:05:40.010 --> 0:05:42.169 there was some great deal that was going to happen, 0:05:42.170 --> 0:05:45.070 a new relationship, a new partnership, and it fell through. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.589 That's okay because in the scheme of achieving your big goals, 0:05:48.589 --> 0:05:51.260 your ten X goal, lots of that's going to happen. 0:05:51.260 --> 0:05:53.990 You just have to stay focused on the target. So 0:05:53.990 --> 0:05:56.810 I'm rooting for you. I'm pushing for you. We are 0:05:56.810 --> 0:05:59.450 here to help you, to support you in achieving these 0:05:59.450 --> 0:06:02.330 ten targets that you have and be a source of inspiration, 0:06:02.330 --> 0:06:06.350 but also a source accountability.
