Important Reminder: You Deserve More Out of Life (Yes, Even Now!)

August 6, 2020

When you’ve spent 30,000 hours of your life coaching professionals to greatness like I have, you tend to identify some disturbing patterns of human behavior.

Like the little (or big) hurdles that people place in their own path.

One of the biggest challenges I see time and time again might surprise you…

Many, many people in this world don’t believe they deserve success.

Am I talking to you?

Let’s examine this…

Stop the Downward Spiral

With everything going on in the world, you might be feeling down lately.

But that doesn’t discount your self-worth.

You’ve been given an amazing opportunity to live life on the planet Earth here in the 21^st century.

You deserve a life filled with wealth, prosperity, happiness, freedom and whatever else you desire.

Do you believe that?

Because here’s what I see when people don’t believe they deserve greatness…

They develop a personal narrative that says they are “less than” and undeserving of life’s gifts.

The trouble is telling yourself negative thoughts like that creates a dangerous cycle:

You adopt this negative narrative.
You project it to those around you.
The more you do so, the more others reinforce it.
Before you know it, it becomes “real” because you and everyone else acts like it is.

Again… am I talking to you here? Does this sound frighteningly familiar? I hope not, but if it does, be sure to keep reading.

5 Steps to the Greatness You Deserve

These five steps won’t give you every answer you seek, but they will provide a fantastic framework on which you can build the life you desire.

Step 1: Get Crystal Clear on What You Want

Do you want to earn as much money as possible, working 100-hour weeks? Do you want to earn a comfortable living and have time to devote to your family and personal pursuits? Do you want to specialize in some unique property type that is your passion?

What do you want from life?

Gaining clarity on this question is the first step toward achieving it.

Step 2: Figure Out WHY You Want It

If you didn’t catch last week’s blog, I shared a fantastic exercise to define your “Why.”

Doing so is a critical step toward the necessary drive and initiative required to achieve whatever you determined in Step 1.

Without a compelling “Why,” you will not be able to maintain momentum and motivation. Because… what’s the point?

Figure yours out and thank me later.

Step 3: Create and Follow Your Plan

Think of your business plan as the road map that leads you where you want to go in life.

Without a plan, you’re wandering. You’re guessing. You’re experimenting.

The more your plan can break down your actions into small, actionable steps like your daily number, the more effective you and your plan will be.

The last step of creating a plan? Follow it! Too many people create their business plan and then stick in a a drawer or in a filing cabinet, never to be seen again.
