Everyone sets goals but yet only a little percentage of them completely achieve them cause most of us dont have a system to get to those goals. Anyone can achieve their goals once they implement this 5 step system by Ray Dalio.

Goal Setting

Most of us are limited by our mindset rather than abilities. Mostly we dont pursue bigger and harder goals cause we like to stay in our comfort zone and pursue something that is relatively easy to do and takes less time. That is why there is only one Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or Elon musk. They did something that people with mediocre minds can't even dare to do.

Mindset

The next step is identifying the problems that limit you from achieving the selected goals. Most of us are afraid to highlight our weaknesses due to ego barriers and we like to blame instead of admitting. We find having weaknesses painful because society has taught us having weaknesses is a bad thing.

Problems

Now is the time to diagnose those problems and work on them to solve them. To solve them first you have to reach the root cause of those problems. The best technique is the 5 why technique. After identifying problems dig into it up to five levels by asking a why question than relating them all.

Design

Replay the story of where you have been and what you have done that led up to where you are now, and then visualize what you and others must do in the future so you will reach your goals.

Designing precedes doing. The design will give you your to-do list.

The last step is to execute the designed solution.

#1 New York Times Bestseller “Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” —The New York Times Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined, and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals. In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success. In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve. Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press.

Principles

Everyone makes plan. Everyone wants to move ahead in life but there is a very small percentage of people that do so. Its not that the successful one have more oppetunuties. They just actively choose to do what they plan with focus.

Being Proactive Is Really Important

Motivation is good but not the only driving force. You can be highly motivated and still do nothing, lying on bed watching same social media apps. Also you cant always be in motivated state. So another thing is needed to be combined with motivation that is discipline. A less motivated but desciplined person is much better than highly motivated but undesciplined one.

Only Motivation Is Not Enough

Never ever stick to one idea, thought or perpective. Evolve as things present themaelves. Sticking yo wrong idea or thought can take away decades of your life from you. If something doesnt work just simply move and try to genrate a new idea, evaluate and even if it doesnt work, move on again.

Learn To Move On

For most people hapiness comes from external sources. If something unlikely happens they will begin to suffer in their brain while the event had already passed hours or days or even months ago. There is absolutely nothing that you cam change about what happen but you can plan the coming towards you in future. But not to let go of past will make sure that future will be same too. Just by letting go of things hapiness will automatically flow towarsa you.
