Day 2 - Know the Vision
Your vision should extend beyond your individual goals. Start with theend in mind. Take into consideration the legacy you want to leave
behind. Your goals should tie into the vision for your life. Ex. 1- A goalto lose weight could tie in to a vision of living a healthy, long, and
vibrant, complete with actively participating in the lives of yourgrandchildren and watching them grow up. Ex. 2 A goal of
overcoming stage fright standing on stage singing karaoke can tie intoa vision of living a confident authentic life with no regrets.
Tip: Look for your vision in the things you value and care about.

Day 3 - Be Specific
Every car has specifications. The specifications provide details aboutthe engine, seat color, cargo volume, weight, and much more. Whatwould you do if you ordered a car, only to have delivered a frame,
complete with a window, two wheels and a trunk? Personally, Id freakout, but thank goodness I dont have to worry about that. We can all
feel confident in the knowledge that when we buy cars, iPhones,laptops, or what have you, that the items have been built to
specifications. Our goals are like our cars, without the specifics a.k.a.specifications, we may not get what we expected to get. Dont get
caught with goals that result in a window and two wheels. Be specific.Tip: What is it + Who will be involved + When will it happen =

Day 5 - Daily Mind Detox
Research has proven that many of the diseases that exist in our worldtoday are due to the toxins that enter our bodies via air, food, and
surprisingly, stress. There are a gazillion recipes, books, and medicinesthat claim to help detox the liver, spleen, intestines, and even feet.
(Yes, believe it or not, the feet have been proven to accumulate toxinsand make us sick!). On a daily basis, even our minds are being
exposed to a battery of lethal toxins toxins that accumulate as a
result of what we experience, what we hear, and what we see. Thesetoxins create septic cells in our minds that eat at us and create limitingbeliefs, low self-esteem, depression, and many other pre-cancerouscells. We need to ensure daily nourishment to our minds so as to
prevent toxic build up.
Tip: Surround yourself with positive people. Write down and repeataffirmations throughout the day. Read spiritual and personal-growthbooks, as well as stories about people who overcame adversity. Do
this daily.
Day 6 - WHY
The answer to the question of why will either motivate us to reach ourgoal or leave us in the lurches. The answer to the question should bepersonal for each of us, and not influenced by what others think we
should achieve or their expectations of us. Often, those who havefallen victim to defining their why based on other peoplesperceptions of them have become unhappy and depressed, and in the
most extreme cases, suicidal.
Tip: Reflect on your vision for your life and ask yourself, Does thisalign with my vision, and will the achievement of this goal make me
happy?

Day 8 - Pivot
During my 9thgrade year of basketball, I learned how to pivot. Onefoot remains glued to the floor while your body moves to the left orright as you move away from the opponent who is blocking you, inorder to either shoot or pass the ball. The key is to keep the foot youstarted out on grounded to the floor and only use your other foot tomaneuver left or right. When we work toward achieving our goals,we will need to pivot along the way. Challenges will arise to impede
us from achieving our goals. Pivoting may mean working on yourbreak-dance action steps in the morning instead of at night because
you need to stay up with your child to help her with homework. Pivotcould mean saving $125 instead of the planned $300, because you
needed extra money to get your car fixed. Pivot could mean you dontreceive the promotion, and so you devise a strategy to either land the
next promotion or to leave the company. We will face variouschallenges on the path toward achieving our objectives, so we should
anticipate a lot of pivoting along the way.
Tip: Play or watch a game of basketball to remind you to pivot. Can
you pivot without travelling?

Day 15 - Great Expectations
Identify and validate your expectations. What does the result of yourshort and long-term goals look like? Within what timeframe do youexpect to achieve your goals? Who do you expect to help you with
your goals? Validate that it is physically possible to achieve your goalswithin the specified timeframes. Verify that Your supporters do not
have scheduling conflicts.
Tip: Read success stories of those who have mastered what you are
trying to accomplish.
Day 16 - Yes or No
Know when to say no. If you are going to say yesto things that move
you in the direction to achieve your goals, then you will have to sayno to other things. On the other hand, you must also be open to theopportunities that will come from saying yes to those things that you
want in your life.
Tip: Ask yourself two questions before deciding if you should say yesor no to something. 1. Will this bring energy or will it drain my life? 2.
Does this align with my vision?
Day 17 - Focus
Distractions will sneak up on you when you least expect them. Manytimes, we are unable to identify distractions. Some distractions are
pure joy...babies, animals, sunsets. Other distractions come by way ofgood ideas. BEWARE do not let good ideas distract you from the
best ideas. Distractions also come in the form of other peoplesproblems, headaches, and busy work. Focus is the key to limiting
distractions as you move toward achieving your goal.
Tip: Pivot, Say No, Stay Disciplined, SOS

Day 18 - Procrastination
The Nike slogan,Just Do It, is in the present tense. We should live ourlives in the present tense. There is always something that we can dotoday to move us toward our goals. Lets not wait until tomorrow.
Break dance, think of the small steps you can take today. It may be assimple as conducting research. If your goal is to write down your
goals, it may be as simple as selecting your app or journal you willuse to write down your goals. Whatever the case,Just Do it. Time
waits for no one.
Tip: Establish internal controls such as placing the alarm clock on theother side of the room to ensure you get out of bed to turn it off, towaking up early or hiding the television remote in the car to ensure
you dont channel surf when you should be working on your business
plan.
Day 19 - Accountability
If you share your goals with someone who will hold you accountableto them, you are more likely to succeed. The key is to tell the right
person. Dont tell someone who is pessimistic or who you dont trust.Many people hire life coaches to assist with this process.
Tip: Mark a date on the calendar to identify and meet with someonewho will act as your coach or supporter.
Day 20 - Fear
Fear will either move us forward or hold us back. In some cases, fearkeeps us out of real danger (imagine a lion in the vicinity). In other
instances, fear is imagined (as in the case of being renderedspeechless when addressing a crowd of a thousand people).
Tip: Write down the worst and best thing that could happen if youconfront your fears.

Day 23 - Learn from the Best
Many have gone before you and paved the way. Seek to learn fromthem. Contact and connect with them if you can. There is a saying
that a smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise one learns from themistakes of others.
Tip: Find out who is doing what you want to do and connect withthem; read their books, and/or follow their blogs. Look for beneficialways that you can get the help you need while also passing on some
of your own insights.

Day 24 - Patience
Have patience, as it will take time to achieve your goals. Sometimes,the gap between where you are now and where you want to be seems
monumental. Nonetheless, enjoy the journey.
Tip: Document each of your successes and review the list at thosetimes when you feel like you are not making progress.
Day 25 - Excellence
Be your best! Time is too short and there are a million other things youcould be doing. Dont waste time being mediocre. Do your best to
achieve your goals. If you give half-hearted efforts, you will get half-hearted results.
Tip: Document your small successes and evaluate whether or not animprovement is being made. Request the assistance of a coach,expert, or trainer to push you beyond mediocrity to being your
absolute best.
Day 26 - Research
Learning should never stop. Take the time to learn about the subjectmatter of the goal you are working to achieve. Dont sit idly by andexpect to get results without putting in the effort. Research what it
takes to achieve the goal.
Tip: Keys to research: Gather and compare information from multiplesources, and set a limit of how many resources you will use for your
initial analysis.
