How To Achieve Your Dreams
You want to achieve success in life and be a maverick, but you slack and slobber – you can’t get yourself to do anything. Maybe it was the low feeling after sex with that hot prostitute last night… or was it drowning yourself in alcohol… you just can’t get yourself to achieve success.
“I have so many things to do…. So many things I want to accomplish…. But I can’t get myself to begin!”
How does a person accomplish so much in life? How do they become so productive like a superman or supergirl?
If you’d like to learn Lance Ong’s technique of being productive, read on!
A. Use Lists (according to David Allen: ‘Getting Things Done’ Book)
You need to capture all the ideas of tasks you want to accomplish in To-Do lists. Just use a handphone application for this like Apple Reminders or write up your plan in Apple Notes.
For example, a dream to design a small business:
- Visit the library, look at business books.
- Dream a big vision for my life.
- Design a business that supports my dream.
- Think and draw up my business plan.
- Discuss with a friend for their opinion.
- Write a formal business plan.
- See a logo designer for my business brand.
- Register at the corporations registry to officially own a business.
And much more…
When you want to achieve a goal, you need to think of the steps you need to do to achieve each milestone. A big dream has many steps and multiple milestones to achieve one big goal. So these 8 steps we planned to design a small business lead to the first milestone – completing the business plan and registering the business entity. Your business still has to complete many more milestones before it succeeds at making money. So just listing out the steps of what you need to do in order to achieve the goal, is the key to getting your dream achieved. In other words, don’t keep all your plans in your head. List out the steps and think on paper. That is the key to success.
How To Get Each Step Done?
Each step of your plan is a task. When the task seems daunting, there is inertia to getting the work done. What you need to do is know how to get started.
B. The secret to getting started on any task is to gather the materials required for the task and display it in front of you.
The moment you look at your arranged materials, the motivation to start on your task will come as the universe sees it and wants to play the game with you.
If you put cleaning materials in front of you, the universe will be motivated to play the home cleaning game with you.
If you pull your foods out of the refrigerator, the universe will want to play the cooking game with you.
If you open your word processing software and outliner software on your computer, the universe will want to play the writing game with you.
If you pull out your repair tools, the universe will want to play the home fixing game with you.
So to start any task, just gather your materials and display it in front of you. Suddenly, the motivation to start will come as the universe wants to play a game with you. This is God’s universal secret for getting things done.
So let’s combine this with our dream to design a small business. How do we get started? Well, let’s focus on the first task: visit the library and look at business books. If you can’t get started on that, you just need to start gathering your materials. Pack your bag… you need your pen and notebook, maybe your iPad or laptop, then your water bottle and an umbrella. Then change your clothes to look like a library visitor. Grab your car key… and the universe will kick in to play the ‘research my business idea at the library’ game with you.
The same thing with all the other steps to achieve your business dream. Just start by casually gathering what you need to start your task, display it in front of you, and the game will begin.
What can you do if you know this secret of achieving goals? For one, you become successful! You can build a system that makes money! You can feed your family! You can get more done and be the most productive person you know. You can make your dreams come true….
The universe wants to let you play your way to success. So every day, plan your action steps to achieve your goals – it’s like listing out the mini-games you will play in your life to build success.
Got it? Life is very fun when you use this method to build your dreams.
