The path to transforming your resolutions into achievements starts with a winning mindset. It’s five days into the new year, and so many of us are still confused about how to achieve more things, hit more goals, work out financial situations, build more revenue, and generate more results, all with less stress. With clarity, you can accomplish your goals and see the results you desire. Michelle Patschke, a founder, artiste, and businesswoman, breaks down the 5 mindset secrets for winning with less stress.
1 Figure Out What You Want To Do:
First, you have to figure out what you want to do. You have to understand what your goal is. To do this, you must get clarity. Write your goals down to make them more realistic and achievable. Once you write them down, reflect; are they SMART goals? To achieve those smart measurable goals, create the picture with the end in mind.
SMART goals:
- S-Sustainable
- M-Measurable
- A-Attainable
- R-Realistic
- T-Time
2 Figure Out The Why:
You know your goals now. So think back to why these goals are vital to you and your success. Your Why has to be strong. When you swing into action mode without figuring out the Why behind the action, you are preparing for defeat because the foundation to which the action is taken is not solid enough. Without a strong Why, the moment you lose motivation or are faced with a challenge, you quit or move on, limiting your success.
3 Figure Out The Who:
With a winning mindset, you understand that you are not the only person who can achieve this goal. You also understand that there are other people who can guide or help you achieve your goal faster. This is very important. The question is not, “can you do it all,” but actually “Who can get me to my goal fastest?”
Your Who is someone who leads you to what you don’t know. Knowing your Who helps reduce the resistance and pressure we face in achieving our smart measurable goals. It is also essential to research your Whos before connecting with them.
4 Figure Out The How:
Often, people try to figure out the How before the Why and Who. This sets them up for failure. You need to follow the steps to save time. To accomplish How you must ask yourself some important questions:
- What system have I put in place to ensure the smooth running of the business?
- Who do I have to meet to put me through these systems?
- What should I add or subtract from my to-do list to ensure I make the most of my time?
- What actionable timelines and deadlines do I need to create?
5 Reflect And Celebrate:
It’s human to slack on our goals due to a lack of motivation. You might not hit your goal, but celebrating your wins and losses every step of the way is worth it. A winning mindset means you are aware of your goals, understand your purpose, and celebrate both success and failure to continue pushing yourself forward.
Practical Steps To Achieve A Successful Personal/Business Goal
- Get a journal.
- Write the outcome of your goal at the top of the page.
- Get clear on your goals and write them down.
- Figure out your WHY, WHO, and HOW, and write them down.
- Always remember to reflect and celebrate every step of the way.
Build a winning mindset to accomplish your goals.
When you have an intention and decision, you can monitor your choices. The key mindset secrets for winning live within you and your ability to reflect and consider your goal and purpose. Be willing to make choices when you feel intimidated or challenged about specific problems. If you don’t have constraints, you can’t communicate. Start to get clear on the outcome with the end in mind. Change your WHO and HOW whenever you need a different result or outcome.
