Are you struggling a little bit with the idea of setting goals, wondering whether or not to even write them down? Well, the quick answer is yes, you should write them down. But not why you might think, not why you've been, how you've been told, is I'm going to pull the curtain back on some very popular goal setting myths. I'm going to show you how to use your goals to increase your chances of actually achieving them. I mean, we all have experience in setting goals before, and we've all failed to achieve some of them.

right? And it's frustrating. I know. You might have even taken a goal setting workshop before. You might have read a book on the subject or maybe you watched a video on goal setting to again only be let down. I've been there too. I understand. The problem is that the goal setting experts are typically not goal achieving experts. And sadly, they'll almost always leave you unfulfilled with countless goal setting myths. I mean, they sound good, but they're myths. And in many cases, they're just flat out lies. But when you make a shift, and who you listen to around goal setting by looking more and focusing more on the results of that person as opposed to their goal setting strategy, setting goals and writing them down can give you a big

boost propelling you forward towards their achievement. And that's what we all want, right? We all want to achieve our goals. Indeed. So once you've written your goals down, I'm going to give you three specific things to do with them that will actually help you achieve them. Here's what most goal setting experts are going to tell you. It's, And it's the biggest goal-setting myth of all. They're going to tell you that you are 97% more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down than if you didn't. Well, that's a myth. Did you know that 86.5% of all statistics are made up right there on the spot?

For example, that one right there? But the goal-setting experts, they're going to take this a step further. They're going to back up their statistic by citing a 1953 college study at Yale or a 1979 college study at Harvard, supporting this theory of having clearly defined written goals somehow makes the goals more achievable. 97% more achievable, in fact. Seemingly like magic. Well, those are lies. Those studies never happened.

No magic gets created by just writing your goals down. But there is some practical use for having them written down. And I'm going to give you three things of how they can serve you in actually helping you achieve them. Right? One, having your goals written down creates clarity. you can see where you're going. Because if you don't know where you're going or when you expect to arrive,

any road is going to get you there. You know, it's like thinking about your next vacation. But if you never decide on the destination or put it in the calendar, it's never going to happen. So writing them down gives you clarity. Two, having your goals written down makes it easy to review them regularly which holds your attention.

When you review your goals regularly, it's going to impact your thoughts about your goals regularly. It'll keep them right here in front of mind. And keeping thoughts about your goals front of mind, it's super important because it's your thoughts that influence your words. And it's your words that inspire your actions, your actions that become your habits, your habits that create your results and your results that manifest your destiny. So we have to have them written down because it holds your attention as well. And three, having your goals written down and reviewing them regularly reminds you daily as to why they were important enough

to write them down in the first place. The why. And this, right here, the why, this is the mac daddy of all the three of these. Because if your Y isn't big enough, if you're not reminded of it on a daily basis, it ain't getting done. Because it's your why that creates

your motivation. And motivation in any endeavor worthwhile is vital to your results. We're human. It's natural for motivation to ebb and flow to come and go. I mean, for many, motivation flat out just doesn't last. And as Zig Ziglar said, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily. And that's precisely why

the daily success report begins with review your goals right here at the top. And the rule in this game with regard to reviewing your goals, you can only do it twice a day. That's it. That's the limit. And here's why. You see, the clarity, the attention, and the motivation by reviewing your goals gives you, it's essential to your success. It is indeed a money-making activity. But without action, nothing happens. That's another myth around goal setting as well. I mean, you can think about your goals all day. You can meditate on your goals all day long, but without action backing up those thoughts, nothing happens. So, twice a day, that's it. That's the max. Review them in the morning, review them in the evening, I don't know, keep them posted on your bathroom mirror. So you can see them when you brush your teeth.

And that way, you won't even have to remind yourself to review them. Can you do this? You can't you? Yes, you can. So when will you begin? When would now be a good time? So God bless to your success. Now go make it rain. Yeah, yeah, we got the cash flow. Yeah, yeah, we got the cash flow.
