Turn your DREAMS into GOALS!

Part of my 2015 Resolution is to get more focused and tuned in on my Goals.  One thing I have learned over the course of Coaching career, is that its nice and dandy to dream.. but at some point you HAVE to turn those dreams into REALITY!

Pretty crazy to think that YOU have every CAPABILITY to do that!  

I was always brought up to believe that only the rich are rich and the movie stars are movie stars.

But here's the thing... WE are ALL MOVIE STARS!  We are ALL in our own journeys creating our own MOVIES!  How amazing is that?

I signed up for Darren Daily which is a mentorship to help Conquer our Dreams.  Its a 10 STEP guide to help you achieve your goals.  Most times we focus on our failures and our fears more than our gifts and purpose in life.  Yet, when you tune in to those VERY key things, you'll notice a shift happen.  A shift in the way you think, the way you work, the way you LIVE.

So today was the Day 1 Action Plan to Conquering your Dream.  I am so excited because its easy to look past some very simple steps to working towards our goals.  And the first and foremost driver is our HUNGER!  

Interestingly enough, when it comes to Beachbody and what truly motivates us, its our WHY.  Well your HUNGER power or WHY power are the EXACT same things!  Ask yourself what drives you?  What lights that fire that burns deep down in your core?

One you are able to identify that, your "journey" becomes more clear and defined.  
Here are a few questions to help you dig deeper into your HUNGER/WHY:

1.  What do you WANT?
2.  What do you WANT to PROVE?
3.  Why do you want to reach this GOAL?
4.  What do you get out of reaching this GOAL?
5.  What actions do you need to take to GET THERE?

Make sure that you are setting goals that are S.M.A.R.T.  

Specific- know EXACTLY what it is that you want to achieve.  Layout every detail.  Most all times, we need to be able to visualize our goals down to the very detail, in order to set it in motion.

Measurable- once you know WHAT you want to achieve, make a list of the actions you need to take to get there.. basically.. a check list!

Attainable- dreaming BIG is awesome... but remember to make your goals within arms reach.. or legs reach.. something that is not so easy you can meet it tomorrow (thats not really a goal).. but also not something that is so far fetched that you may never have the resources to reach it.  

Realistic- here is the tricky one... what truly is realistic?  To each his own.  You create your reality!  However when setting goals, make sure to break them down.  Its ok to have BIG goals, but breaking them down to smaller realistic ones will help you keep your course.

Time-bound- lastly, set a date!  If you don't have an end date, you will be working towards you goals forever!  something about having a deadline just makes us work our tushies off to reach it!

I hope that these TIPS help you with turning YOUR  dreams to goals and creating the reality that you envision!

Happy Goal-Setting!
