Create Your Path to Success - Achieve Key Goals
By Susanne
Rothschild
Creating your path to success depends on walking on a firm foundation.
Knowing WHAT you want is only the beginning. Visualizing what you want and
repeating affirmations makes your intentions stronger. Yet, this is not
enough. So what IS the secret to realizing your goals? Let’s walk the path
together. As we walk the path step by step, I encourage you to write the
answers to these questions:
Step 1: Where are you now? What are your strengths, resources, and areas
of improvement?
Step 2: What do you want to achieve? What is important to you? Money?
Relationships? Having fun? Creating a vibrant body? …Use your imagination to
explore. List everything you want without editing.
Step 3: What do you REALLY want? What lights you up and gets you excited?
What is your heart’s desire?
Step 4: Now explore the risks, obstacles, or challenges that could
interfere with achieving these goals. Notice what is stopping you from
having what you want now. This is the most powerful question to answer
because it is how you sabotage yourself from success. By recognizing the
challenges, obstacles or risks and addressing them in your Action Plan, you
manage your productive tension to focus on your desired outcome.
What’s Stopping You?
Feelings of unworthiness?
Self-sabotaging mind talk?
Do you dress for success?
How is your love life? Do you regularly express your love to the
significant relationships in your life?
Release negative people from your life
Release self pity – Focus on gratitude instead. Make list of what is good
in your life.
Attitude – are you usually upbeat?
Health: attitude, energy, mental clarity, and overall well-being are all
linked to good health. Health is supported by
Exercise: Pleasurable forms can include weight lifting, dance, belly
dance, Tango, golf, tennis, jogging, walking, cycling, yoga, and many other
forms.
Diet: Well balanced diet is best. Studies have shown that excessive
protein creates health risks/issues.
Medical exams: Regular checkups help you know where you stand and how to
get back on track if necessary.
Spiritual Life: Your spiritual life builds your foundation.
Complacency or “Golden Handcuffs” – When we get too comfortable, we can
set ourselves up to fail. If you are at the top, keep your edge and passion
by giving yourself new challenges.
Do you have the passion to win or achieve a goal?
Step 5: Select your favorite goals and write an affirmation for each
following this format:
I have/am/achieve specific goal stated in present tense by specific
deadline.
State your goals in specific, measurable terms so you can recognize their
achievement. Avoid the use of the words “try, not, don’t, can’t, shouldn’t…”
The mind does not hear the “not” and cannot produce results with “try”. An
example of an affirmation is “I achieve my monthly financial goal of $$$
easily by the 28th of every month.” Another example of an affirmation is,
“This is my LUCKY day!”
Step 6: Imagine yourself already having your goals accomplished. What do
you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? What do you smell? What do you
taste? Let yourself BE there now!
Step 7: Create an Action Plan to achieve your desired results. Be
specific about every step required. The goals need to be compelling to be
achievable.
Step 8: Reinforce your goals daily. Create a vision map with YOU in the
picture and place it where you can see it daily. Record your affirmations in
your voice and listen to them daily. Repeat your affirmations morning and
night. Focus on what you desire.
Step 9: Be Accountable. Find a coach who you will allow to hold you
accountable in a supportive way. Ultimately, accountability is the key to
success. A coach supports you by inspiring pride and self-discipline. For
best results, the coach is someone who has no attachment to the outcome. The
coach walks the path with you — but not for you.
Ultimately, your success depends on your ability to monitor and manage
your level of productive tension.
