Let's work out how much money you need to earn in order to live the life you dream of.Don't worry about where you are now. This is to set an exciting financial goal for you towork towardsHow much do you want to save a month for your "save to spend" pot?How much do you want to add to your "just for fun" pot?How much do you want to bring in to cover your bills? How much do you want to bring in for your daily 'life' shopping ?How much do you want to save each month?How much do you want to give to charity a month? Do you need to bring home any more money for anything else?How much do you need to bring home to cover all of these?

What do you need to bring home to cover all of these?

This is your Magic Number and the number you will aim for in your business. You can ofcourse make it higher or if it is a number which scares you completely then go back andmake it feel more achievable. Your magic number needs to stretch you but not scare youinto disbelief. Remember this is profit and not turnover.


Your Money

Your Future Business Numbers


Based on the above ativity - what are your future numbers going to be in order toget you to your Magic Number?

Turn over:Profit: Take Home: Facebook Followers:Twitter Followers: Mailing List: How many hours working a week: Add any more KPI's which you had in Step 2.

Now the sad fact is that with no customers or sales then you have no business. Sothis is the part of the course where we think about how to bring in enoughcustomers to realize your dreams.


Your Customer Plan

How much did you want to turn over:How many sales will that mean you have to make:Working on a 1% conversion rate (if you know yours to be different thenplease work to your figures) how many leads do you have to generate.What process do you take your leads through?What value can you give your list which costs you very little.What is your Call To Action to bring them to order from you?

Often when we struggle to reach a goal we have set it is because we have notfaced, or accepted, the sacrifice we will have to make in order to achieve it. If youREALLY want to achieve the goal you have set then you have to be 100% OK withdoing what needs to be done in order to make it happen. If you are not then youwill struggle.

What Sacrifices will you have to make in order to achieve your goal (less TV, lesstime with friends etc etc)? Ensure you capture everything.

Now go back and put a big tick by each one you are OK with. If there are anywhich are not OK with you then you will need to think about other ways or go backand tweak your goal.

04 Resistance THE CLARITY PROJECT

Sacrifices


Go and face the mirror and look into your eyes. Ask yourself if you 100% believethis is possible and that YOU can do this. If you are not 100% a yes then askyourself why.

Note down your reasons:

Now take these reasons back to the mirror and ask yourself "Is this REALLY true?"and "Where did this belief come from?"

If you believe it to be true then look into ways to remove this limiting belief.

Limiting Yourself

Is there any reason why you may not be successful at your goal? For this youwill need to look back on your warning signs you wrote down earlier. Are thereany circumstances which may prevent it or are you missing a skill or item whichyou need to make it happen. What is stopping you from moving forward.

If nothing then GREAT but if there is something ask yourself how you can getaround those obstacles. This is a great time to ask in the group for other'sinsights into your blocks!


Your Blocks


We all make excuses to let ourselves off the hook from taking action - what areyour most common ones?

What can you do to eliminate these? What could you tell yourself next time youmake one of these excuses. What would you tell a friend who was makingthose same excuses which were stopping her from having the life she dreamedof?

What will be your affirmation for when things get tough and you want to remindyourself of the person you ARE, even if you don't feel it yet you need toconvince your subconscious that you are already being that person above.

What are your excuses?

05 Insight THE CLARITY PROJECT

Now is a really good time to check in with WHY you want your goal. What doesachieving it mean to you? The more powerful you make this 'why' then the moreof a motivation it will give you.

Why

05 Insight THE CLARITY PROJECT

What does success at your chosen goal make you feel. Imagine you havealready succeeded at your goal, how do you feel? Check that this matcheshow you want to spend your time feeling.

Moving from A to B

07 You THE CLARITY PROJECT

We looked at what you need to BE in your mission statement - lets just check inwith asking if you are happy to BE like that? What needs to happen to take youtowards that version of yourself.

What do you need to HAVE in order to achieve your goal? What character traitswill you need, what new skills will you need and what daily habits will you have.

Are you happy to RECEIVE the above? What needs to happen for you to receivethe above?

The rest is down to what you need to DO and how you want to feel and this iscovered in excess through the rest of the course.

What do you need to Be, Have and Do?


Do you believe you can do this? Do you have confidence in yourself? It isVITAL that the answer is (or quickly becomes!) a yes. The brutal truth is that ONLY YOU can make this happen for yourself. Youcan outsource, find support and make it easy on yourself but only you canor will drive this forward to a place you want to be.

If you are stalling or there is a block somewhere then only YOU can changethings. So today is about taking responsibility for your dreams and goals. Ifyou don't then you will struggle. There are lots of areas to find help withyour self confidence and we will post some great videos and links toresources on our website.

Try skipping forward 10 years and see yourself having achieved your 10year goals. Write your 'today' self a letter telling you that it will be all OK andany advice you can give having already done the journey.

Believing in YOU


What is the number one thing that needs to happen ASAP to move you forward?Break it down into the smallest parts. Number them in the order the small partsneed to happen the then just do the first thing as soon as possible (why not now?)

I am behind you and know you can make anything happenif you believe you can, you take action and remain focused!

Now you need to go and JUST BLOODY DO IT!
