Goal Setting
There are two types of goals in life.
One is a short term goal and the other is a long term goal.
Short term goals are goals we are looking to achieve in a short span of time.
It could be as simple as a diet or getting yourself a new laptop.
While long term goals are goals you are loorking forward to achieve sometime in the future. Long term goals cannot be achieved overnight, but take longer period of time to finally achieve.
It is very important that we learn the difference and give yourself a target time frame and focus on that.
First things first, you must set your priorities straight.
Know what your main goal is, and learn how to keep it a priority at all times.
Never procrastinate as it will only slow down your progress in reaching your target.
Know what your goals are, and think about how you’re going to reach them and when you want to reach them. Focus on your need and excitement for it, as it will encourage you to work harder towards it.
Learn to be patient and understand that there will be some delays and some turning points. But that don’t mean you failed. It only means you need to improve yourself in some aspects and learn what your weaknesses are.
Finding out your weakness is also a big must in setting your goals.
When you know what your weaknesses are, it will be much easier for you to work on it to improve the way you are handling the situation.
Think of it as a challenge for self empowerment, to strengthen your faith in yourself making your goals seem so close to your reach.
Wisdom. You need the wisdom to understand that it takes time.
And when you understand that things don’t happen with a snap of a finger you will learn patience and perseverance. You will learn to wait and work harder for your target, making it success sweeter once you get to it, that’s why they say that patience is a virtue and it really is.
Good things come to those who wait, but better things come to those who hustle.
Yes, learn how to hustle.
When you know what your goals are, you need to get to it by all means.
Know your competitors and learn how you can do better, and make sure that it stays a healthy competition, we all just want to get to the top in life, no one makes it out alive anyway. I’m kidding.
So as long as you keep in mind what your goals are and what you are willing to do to achieve them, we are set to a good start. Keep your focus on that goal. We already talked about passion and having the right mindset, now focus on the target and no matter what happens stay strong and only look at the things that matter in life, there are certainly no room for distractions.
It’s easy to make goals for yourself but reaching them is a different story.
Some don’t even get close to it because they are weakened and distracted.
Some don’t have the courage, and for some, they haven’t even set up goals in life yet.
It is important in life that we set goals for ourselves for us to have a sense of direction and have something to look forward to everyday. Without it we are merely just going along with the flow with no point or meaning in life.

Mindset
Mind-set, is our mental attitude or our way of thinking.
Our mindset affects how we react to our everyday lives’ circumstances.
A positive mindset helps us see things in an optimistic light in
Life’s darkest hours while a negative mindset leads us to a pessimistic way of thinking.
It is important that we develop a positive mindset early in life.
It would lead us to the right and successful path in life.
A positive mindset helps us believe in ourselves even when nobody else would.
Many successful business owners have this kind of mental attitude.
They understand that not everyone makes it big during their first try and that it is okay to fail, what matters is that they tried and they can always try again until they succeed.
Our mindset also affects how we interact with other people. It plays a big role on how we handle our relationships with other people whether personal or work related.
People with a growth mindset sees criticism as a learning phase, and works to improve himself than sit around and sulk all day.
I believe our mental attitude affects our whole being as well, because when we have a positive mental attitude, there should be no hindrance for us to excel on what we want to pursue in life and leads us to healthy relationships with the people around us.
What type of mindset do you have?
Do you have a growth or fixed mindset?
Having a fixed mindset means staying focused on a certain goal leaving no room for mistakes, while a growth mindset offers more room for learning everyday.
Both can lead to positive results but a fixed mindset in my opinion is like being too hard on yourself. In life, we need to understand that some things may or may not work out the way we expect them to.
Some doors close with no further notice and though it may startle you, a person with a growth and calm mindset will take this as a challenge and an opportunity to learn more about his or her strengths.
Some people are yet to develop a mindset of their own, that is why it is difficult for them to make decisions on their own or realize their worth or what their good at.
We need to set our mental attitude into maximum level, to think that we are great and can conquer anything life may throw at us.
Keep in mind that we were born not to be perfect, we are humans and we make mistakes. Set our minds to realize that in order to succeed in life, we must fail first.
Life is not all that easy, nobody ever said it was and as long as we have a positive outlook, it shouldn’t be too hard to reach our goals and dreams.
That’s why our mindset is very important, and plays a huge factor in our mental well being for us to stay focused and positive in whatever endeavors we may have in life.
It reflects how we live, how we interact with people in our lives and how we take the curve balls life throws at us.
And when we finally develop a clear and positive mindset, we can be sure to never miss anything that we aim for in life, may it be goals, dreams or work related matters.
It will affect our children too and how they will become parents one day.
How they saw us as parents impacts how we set our mental attitude, and it can be in a negative and positive way.
They will believe what we want them to believe and they will carry that later in life and on to their future family. So not only will affect us but the people around us.

Passion
Hard work, great patience, and determination are some key essentials for a successful business. But is it really enough to succeed? Sometimes we can work hard, become very patient, and be determined to finish a task but still fail. We fail to give it our best shot because we are doing it all wrong.
What do I mean by this? Sometimes we don’t always get the results we expected because we do things half-heartedly. We lack that eagerness and enthusiasm for what we are doing and we take it for granted.
This is one reason why we fail in life. because of our lack of passion, our lack of interest. We can never do good at something we do not like.
In a workplace for example, how can you perform at a certain task if you drag yourself to work every day and rush things just to get them over with? You’re really not interested in what you are doing and you are taking it for granted. This is why some employees get stuck at the bottom. because they do not strive hard enough, because this is not what they really want to do.
It is very significant to know what your passion is. Do the things you enjoy doing, because you want to. not just because you need to. Look deep inside you and think about what you really want in life and work towards it with a happy heart. By doing so you attract positive energy and good vibes, you attract success.
When we enjoy what we are doing, it brings out the best in everything that we do. Your eagerness and devotion make it so much easier for you to do things exceptionally. And this is when success flows right in.
Look deep within you and ask yourself, ” Is this really what I want to do, Or is this only what I need to do?” because needing and wanting are two different things. and unless you know the difference, only then can you be truly successful in life.

Product
It is very important, in anything that we want to sell out,
that we have the right product knowledge.
It is a must that we fully understand what our product is, what it does, and what it has to offer. You can’t go selling something you have never tried and have no idea of its use and effects to consumers.
In order to convince customers, we must know what we are offering to them.
We cannot convince people to believe in our products if haven’t tried it for ourselves.
How can you trust something if the person who is trying to introduce it to you does not seem to know what he is selling or he is talking about?
It is all about product knowledge dear.
We have to be convincing enough that they will want to try it for themselves because they can feel your excitement and jive about the product. You need to spark their interest, make them feel how effective and great the product worked for you, and they will want to try it to for sure.
If you were the consumer, would you want to buy from someone who is blunt and can’t even describe her product? Our choice of words and expression is a big thing too.
We must use strong words and real expressions to make them feel that the product is indeed real.
In any instances in life, it is important that we know what we are getting ourselves into isn’t it. Especially when it comes to making the right choices and the right decisions.
This applies most importantly in investment. We have to be very careful to what we are buying, to where we are going to spend our hard earned cash.
We need to try and put ourselves in our customer’s shoes.
Someone wise who will make a big investment or will purchase something pricey will think about these things first:
- What am I buying?
- Is it worth the price?
- Is it effective?
We need to assure them of these things. That is what customers want,
Assurace. They want to be sure that everything is explained to them and they want to understand every detail of the product completely.
Only someone who is knowledgeable about the product could inform them about these things. And by having great product knowledge, they will feel rest assured that they are making the right choice in purchasing the right product from the right merchant.
This is what we have talked about in the first part of this ebook, about Passion.
When you are passionate enough, you learn what the product is all about.
Because you have seen the effects for yourself, because you have tried it and loved it.
Sharing to others how great it is will become your passion.
And customers will feel that thrill you have about it, that they actually feel how real it is.
This is why it is so important to understand first what we are offering to the consumers.

Planning
They say our life is god’s one big master plan.
Everything that happens in our lives is what god has planned for us.
But do you even have a plan of your own?
How and where do you see yourself ten years from now?
What are your plans for yourself in the future?
They say life is a roller coaster ride, and without any concrete plans, you are surely bound to see yourself scrambling at all the wrong directions, spiraling out of control.
That’s why we need to plan ahead. Whatever we do with our lives, we must have a plan.
Plan how to spend your money, plan how you start your own family and settle down.
It all starts with the right choices and then plan how to live out the decision you made, how to follow that path you have set for yourself.
In reaching your goals, you must have a solid plan to follow. It is about how you want to achieve them and how long do you want it take.
For long term goals, some take years. But for those with only short term goals it could be weeks or months. Plan out what you have to do to reach that goal and make sure you stay focused on it.
It will all begin with yourself. Your inner strength and self determination.
No one will reach your dreams for you. No one will go out of their way to give you what you want in a silver platter right in front of you, you need to work hard for it.
And in order to to achieve it you must know exactly what to do.
And it everything else fails, you need to have a backup plan or plan B.
A strong building needs a good foundation and a good architect to work out the building’s blueprint. The architect designs or plan out the building’s structure so it will be built strong and solid.
That’s what you need to do. To have a strong and solid foundation within yourself.
To work out a structure for you to follow your dreams. You will need focus and self discipline to follow this plan and i’m telling you my dear once you master the plan, good things will come your way.
There is a saying that those who fail to plan, plan to fail.
This is somehow true, without a solid plan you would just be going with the flow, with no certain direction and just letting the wind blow you away in different directions.
So how do you plan to reach your goals with no concrete plan for your future?
What happens if something goes wrong along the way, how do you plan to avoid detours and delays?
Planning is getting yourself ready for unexpected circumstances too.
How you prepare yourself also defines you as an individual and helps you be ready on how to react and respond to certain events in your life.
Like in being a parent you need to have an educational plan for your child because we do not know what happens in the future, what if we don’t make it till our child’s college years? Who will send him/her to college?
We must plan ahead in order to avoid these instances. We must always be ready and know what to do with our lives, especially on how we want to be reaching our goals.
We do not know what will happen tomorrow, or the next day or next week.
Don’t get yourself in trouble by making a mistake in having to make big decisions at the spur of the moment just because you didn’t plan ahead, just because you got too confident that nothing could ever go wrong.

Consistency
Now that we have discussed your passion, your plan and being in the right mindset, having self discipline and focus, now we must learn how to be consistent with our goal.
Don’t be satisfied with doing just your 50% effot.
Give it your best shot at all times, and do it this way everyday.
The progress might be slow, but if you keep doing it each day, you will certainly get there, slowly but surely.
When we are doing something for the first time, we don’t always learn it right away.
But if we are eager enough to learn it, we will strive each day to exert more effort into doing it better than we did the other day.
Make up your mind that you will do this today and every day and you will not give up.
Don’t change your mind every other day, doing your best today and being lousy the next day, this will get you nowhere and will slow down our progress to our 10k lifestyle.
It’s a big world out there, and unless you learn to strive each day consistently it will be a rough ride for you. Successful people don’t get tired easily, they work hard each day without any complains, they keep their focus and push harder each day for victory.
Like i said earlier, do things one step at a time. And do it everyday. Exert the same effort everyday and you will see that it will all pay off.
Remember the plan and stick that plan each day.
It’s all about the right mental attitude. If you believe you can do it, then you most certainly can.
But if you look at yourself as a failure, then maybe you are.
Think of yourself as a winner, and think about how you will stay as a winner and not get left behind by everyone else in this race of life.
It’s easy to keep pushing, we will get tired and distracted. But don’t let that be an excuse for not trying again each day.
Keep doing it until you finally get the rhythm, until you finally get it right.
Because if you give up right away, how will you know how things would’ve turned out
If only you worked a bit harder and waited just a little longer?
For example, you know your weaknesses right?
Make it a daily habit to fight your weakness, even just by tiny efforts each day.
Let’s say your weakness is sleeping. It is very hard to wake up early in the morning for work. But if you teach yourself each day to be positive the moment you open your eyes,tha and get up with a smile, and do this every single morning, you will finally get used to it.
And you will see as the days go by that you are finally learning to get up easily in the morning without having to drag yourself up to get to work.
It’s all about maintaining the effort each day, and keeping up with it until we finally reach our goal.
It just doesn’t happen overnight, so we need to be firm with our objective.
We need to stand our ground that we will make things happen each and everyday, without letting things distract us or get in our way of reaching our goals.
Our consistency is one major factor in reaching our goals.
It is what helps keep us in line with our daily routines, and rules we have set for ourselves to achieve that target.
We need to know our limits and boundaries, and keep a clear mind towards success.

Executing
Now that we have a master plan and we are very passionate about it, we are focused with the right mindset and product knowledge, it’s time to put things into action. It’s game time!
Make an outline of how you want to do things, one step at a time.
It doesn’t have to big, remember a journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step.
Baby steps my dear, baby steps. Sit back, relax and think to yourself
“ I will do this today, if i don’t start now, then when?”
We tend to have an attitude of putting off things we can do now for later. We procrastinate things that are important that’s why we are delayed to reach our destination, success.
It’s always easy to make plans, but sometimes it’s hard to carry them out.
So think to yourself that will start to do them by doing little things one step at a time.
Write them down, how you want to do things, how you want to get them done. How long do you wish to take.
It’s easier if you will see a written list to always remind yourself of our goal.
Don’t just think about it and plan, get up and DO IT!
Once you start moving you’ll get that feeling of self accomplishment and it will get you motivated and urge you to keep pushing for victory.
People who sit around don’t get anything done.
They just sit there and wait things to happen for them. It’s not true that good things come to those who wait, because BETTER things come to those who actually WORK.
Start of by doing little things towards the goal, the progress might be very little and it don’t always work out right away, but hey, success don’t just happen overnight and if you can’t hold your horses and give up right away then you’re going to get nowhere near your dreams.
Little accomplishments will add up each day and if you put it all together, they make big accomplishments. So make it an objective each day to make little efforts towards our goal, carry out our plan and put it into effect.
You will see that each day you are closer to where you want to be.
You will never know if you don’t go.
So take each day as a chance, an opportunity to start something great in your life.
To get started on the road to your dreams.
Don’t be contented with just what is given to you.
Each day, always work and aim for the best things in life. To be a better person than you are yesterday.
Live out each day to the fullest, let’s start to treat each day as if it were the first day of the rest of our lives. The start of something great, something wonderful.
Motivate yourself to get something done each day.
Work out our plan for a 10k lifestyle.
It may be as simple as getting up early in the morning and taking a walk to the park to breathe some fresh air then coming home to revise the day’s plan at work.
It may be as simple as coming to work early and starting that early shift report without dragging yourself to do it.
Every little step towards our goal, if put together make big progress. Always keep this in mind. Motivation will start within you, from your inner strength. Motivate yourself each morning when you get up.
I will stick to the plan today, each day i will do something great towards my dreams.
I will get things done just as we planned.
Discipline yourself to do accomplish something each day.
Life may be tiring and toxic, but unless we do something about it there will be no changes or improvements.
The change will begin from nobody else but ourselves.
Nobody will get things done for you.
In this world where everyone is fighting their own battles, it’s one man for himself.
Others are have gone a long way already, and are leaving you behind.
Do you wish to stay where you are all your life? At the very bottom?
Don’t just sit there and get stuck darling.
Do something about it and do it now.
Success won’t wait. Victory is just within your reach and you just need to work harder to get to it.

It all begins with yourself: Discipline
Discipline
We must have self discipline if we want to achieve our 10k lifestyle target.
And it isn’t easy, nothing in this world is easy after all.
It is what we first need to learn in order to follow any task we have set for ourselves.
Like I’ve said in our first chapters, there will be many obstructions and distractions along the way to our goals, this is where discipline plays an important role in our daily lives.
Along with focus, this will strengthen your motivation to follow your goals.
It will be your foundation on following the rules and targets we have set for yourself.
It all begins with yourself.
If you truly want something, and you want it so bad, you will do anything you possibly can to get it right?
Even if it means giving up the things you enjoy doing the most. It’s all about sacrifice and self discipline. You must train yourself to avoid doing the things you know that will hinder you or distract you from reaching our goals.
Look straight ahead, look forward. Stick to your goals and stick to our plan on how to reach them. This is why discipline is so important if we want to succeed.
Many successful people sleep only four hours a day, miss out on holidays with families, miss their kids’ birthdays and important occasion in their families’ lives because they have dedicated their lives to following their dreams. And it takes a lot of sacrifice and hard work.
We must maintain a disciplined lifestyle each day to get closer to our dreams.
We must learn self control and perseverance, because if we can’t discipline ourselves we can’t keep our path to our goals straight.
If you have an early meeting with a client at 8am in the morning, you must avoid going out with friends and staying out late at night. You need to set your priorities and stick to it at all cost, you need to stay focused.
The road to success is quite rough and there are many things you need to be willing to give up for it, you need a clear understanding and strong determination, a disciplined mind and self control.
You can set rules and restrictions for yourself, but if you have no self discipline, you will not work hard to stick to these rules. Because you need to train yourself to be a better and stronger version of you.
Imagine a world with undisciplined people, there would be no government, no cops or teachers. People would not follow rules, there will be no peace and order in this world.
That’s how important it is to be a disciplined individual.
People who are well disciplined teach themselves to follow certain rules for themselves to stay focused and motivated. Because when you are serious about your dreams and you dedicate yourself to reaching that dream, self control and discipline will follow easily.
We must get in touch with our inner strength and develop self determination. because when we are in control, we can follow our decisions easily and not keep changing our minds about it.
This is why discipline plays a major role in our 10k lifestyle.
It will help us to stay focused and keep an eye on our target.
Discipline and focus plays well together and is very powerful, when we develop these within ourselves, it will be much easier for us to follow that path to success.
I’m not really saying that if you don’t have discipline, you will not succeed. Success is just more realistic if you have the right attitude, the right mindset and of course self discipline.
When you know what your priorities are, and you know the things that you can and can’t do, you are most likely to avoid delays and detours towards your journey.
It’s all about sticking to your plan for yourself and for your future.

Focus
In today’s world, there are a lot of distractions around us. A lot of distractions that influence our daily lives, hindering us from working effectively towards our goals.
It is very hard to stay focused on our goals especially with how technology is stirring our lifestyles these days.
That’s why it is important to have the right mindset to stay focused in our goals.
You know what your target market or goals are, look straight ahead and think about how it would feel to finally reach the top.
Staying focused means knowing what you want, and how to get it.
No if’s and no but’s will ever stop you from getting to it.
We must look straight ahead, and no matter what happens don’t ever look back or beside you. Keep your attention to you and you only.
Don’t think about other people or compare their progress with yours.
Work your way to success in your own pace, in your own perfect time.
If they can do it, what makes you think you can’t do better?
Focus on your strengths, you know what they are and you know it very well.
When we learn to focus on what we have, and not how others are getting along we learn perseverance and that my friend is the right ingredient to getting to where you want to go.
Some people might drag you down along the way, especially when they see you doing so much better than them. But keep in mind that not everyone will be happy for your success.
You will be surprised to find that the ones who will remain by your side when you finally succeed are strangers, while the ones closest to you are envying your victory. This is a normal scenario with successful people. But they still stay focused on the game and not let these petty distractions discourage them from working harder towards their goals.
It’s all about maintaining a positive mental attitude and keeping your focus at our target.
What others think or say don’t matter in this game of life, you gotta focus on yourself because no one will play the game for you, you only have yourself to count on so keep your mind on that.
As long as you know where you’re going, and what results you want to achieve, it isn’t very difficult to concentrate on that. Remember that you are the very center of your universe.
It’s not too bad to be self centered sometimes especially when it comes to achieving your dreams. Just as long as you know how to keep it balanced, know the perimeters and set your limits and let the whole world revolve around you sweetheart.
Many successful people I know have this kind of attitude. They stay focused, set targets and never let anyone get in the way from reaching their goals.
That’s why a lot of the rich and famous usually don’t have social lives because they do not have time for nonsense distractions. The only thing that matters is reaching their goal and they would not let anything get in their way.
This is how focused you should be. Think about it this way, those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter. Keep your eye on the target and always, I mean always keep it that way!
