The 2nd Step to Accomplishing Your Goals GOALS - REASONS - EXPECTATIONS - ACTIONS - TRACKING Writing down goals is never enough to accomplish them.

If They Can Do It, You Can Do It
Almost every goal you want to achieve: losing weight, earning more money, or eliminating debt, has been accomplished by many other people. In fact, the exact amount of weight you need to lose and the precise amount of income you want to earn has already been accomplished many times before. Are those people any better than you? No! They merely understood that if someone else did it, so could they. Excerpt from Think GREAT: 5 Steps to a Greater Life I remember my first night in boot camp like it was yesterday. I was afraid.

Make the Choice to Increase Your Income
In less than two years, I increased my income by over 500%. And I did it right after my wife finished battling cancer, my dad passed away, and I switched careers! Gina and I had a lot on our plates, but one of our goals was to increase our income. I did it by applying the Think GREAT program to my life – 5 Steps to a Greater Life. Let me start by saying that money does not buy happiness – it will merely enable you to enjoy more experiences in your life. For some people, increasing your income may mean that you can spend more time with your family.

A – Actions
The 4th Step to Accomplishing Your Goals GOALS - REASONS - EXPECTATIONS - ACTIONS - TRACKING There is a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Most people know exactly what they need to do to hit their goals: exercise, eat healthy, save money, stop wasting time, etc. But, many choose to stay on the ground level, never taking the necessary steps up the ladder to reach their goals. A lot of people confuse movement with action. Running on a treadmill is fine for exercising, but if you’re trying to go somewhere, you’ll need to get on the right track!
