5 Ways to Accomplish Your Biggest Goals to The Fullest
If
you’re like a lot of people, you have some big dreams.
That’s
nothing unique.
Most
people have dreams. Most people want to be successful. Most people have things
they’d like to accomplish. So, how do you take action and actually reach
your goals? How do you separate yourself from the people who continue to hold
their dreams in their hearts and never take them to fruition?
Here’s how
to actually reach your biggest goals:
1. Streamline your life.
If you
want to achieve your biggest goals, you’ll need space in your life to take
action toward those goals. The way to create room in your life is to streamline
your life. You’ll need to streamline your schedule and get rid of the unimportant
junk to make time to take massive action toward your biggest dreams.
Start by
eliminating time-sucking ’empty activities,’ the activities that don’t add
value to your life. Carefully evaluate how you are spending your time and
determine which tasks you can declutter from your schedule in order to create
room to work on your big goals.
2. Set goals that actually matter to you.
When you set goals that actually matter to
you, it’s a lot easier to take massive action to reach those goals. Think about
what truly matters to you and what you really want to accomplish during your
lifetime. What impact do you want to make on the world? What kind of legacy do
you want to leave behind? Who do you most want to be as a person? What are you
incredibly passionate about? If you’re not sure what lights you up, click

3. Kill your procrastination habit.
If you want to reach big goals, you’ll need
to kill your procrastination habit. One way to do this is to spend a few
minutes each evening, writing out your schedule for the next day. When you plan
in advance how you’ll spend your time, you’ll wake up in the morning knowing
exactly what you’re going to do with your day, so you can be sure to take
action toward your big goals.
Another great way to kill your
procrastination habit is to “eat the frog every morning”. This comes from Mark
Twain, who said, “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse
will happen to you the rest of the day.” Your frog is the task you’ve been
procrastinating. It’s the thing you dread, or the action step you need to take
that’s out of your comfort zone. As you work toward reaching big goals, you’ll
need to eat many frogs along the way. Make a point to eat the frog each
morning, and you’ll make massive progress toward your big dreams.
4. Develop a specific goal-attainment strategy.
It’s important to set specific goals, so you
know what your target is. It’s also incredibly important to develop a strategy
to actually achieve those goals. For example, if your goal is to run a
marathon, what action steps do you need to take? What time of day will you do
your training runs? How will you make room in your life to fit in the
workouts? How will you fuel your body? How will you persevere and get through
long workouts on days you feel tired or unmotivated? What stretches and
strengthening exercises will you perform to help prevent injuries? What
training program will you follow, and who can be your accountability partner as
you work toward reaching this big goal?
5. Find an accountability partner.
One of the best life hacks to reach big goals
is surrounding yourself with people who are also working on big goals. As Jim
Rohn said:
“You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.”
Are you spending time with people who are
inspiring, encouraging, and uplifting? Surround yourself with people who help
you become the best version of yourself, and ask someone to be your
accountability partner as you both work toward bettering your lives. Knowing
that someone is overseeing your progress can help give you that extra boost you
need to take massive action on the days when motivation is lacking.
Hopefully you find these strategies as
helpful as I have. Keep setting and working toward big goals, and take action
every day toward the life of your dreams.
