First: Define your future
This step involves three key components:
- Create a clear vision. See the future you wish you to arrive as clearly as possible. Once you know it and once you see it, don’t ever change it but see it every day.
- Define your goals. Breakdown your vision into tangible and measurable goals.
- Design a roadmap: Build a strategy to get there. (change it along the way as you get more experienced)
Second: Transform who you are
You won’t get to a new external reality in your life unless you change internally first. So the first step toward a new future is to have a new you. You need to work on the following based on your vision, goals, and strategic plan:
- Your belief system and your core values
- Your habits and rituals
- The people around you
Third: Execute your plan and achieve your goals
This is both the hard part and the fun part. Usually, the people who are good at step one, are not so good at this step. So even if you are not good, you need to change this in step two and become great at execution otherwise you will be stuck at steps one and two forever.
If you complete steps one and two successfully, this step becomes easier and more fun.
