#2. Start Creating Better Goals
‘My goal is to make a ton of money.’
And you’re wondering why you still haven’t made it.
Your goal isn’t actionable.
And quite frankly it isn’t that motivating either.

The silver bullet is that you need to put in the work everyday for years.
It’s not some Facebook ads hack. Or some magical $2000 conference.
But no matter how many times people tell you that, you’re still going to dig around for the secret answer.
Why?
It’s about the little moments in between.
Moments where you’re happy. Moments that you’re really soaking in.
Truth is, you can experience those moments even if you’re currently stuck in a 9 to 5.

Personal success is not a matter of background, intelligence, or native ability.
The keys to success in life are our ability to draw out the very best out of ourselves under almost all conditions and circumstances.
Life is one of the most amazing things in the universe and you’re incredibly lucky to be here right now. So, take advantage of it!
However, if you don’t have goals, you’ll default to focusing on things that don’t matter. You’ll depress yourself with negative thinking or engage in drama with others.
Whether you want to learn a new skill, improve your personality, or strengthen relationships, your goals will determine if it happens. When you don’t have them, you’ll spend time watching those who do, while your life slips away.
This will help you to take action instead of feeling sorry for yourself. So the next time you see someone do something you want to do, either:
- Reverse engineer what they’ve done
- Seek them out and ask them how they did it.
