Goal Setting & Achievement Podcast: Business|Productivity

Some of you listeners today may know, but not all might, one of the important tools I use as an accountability coach with the people I work with is the Wheel of Life. The Wheel of Life I use, because not all are the same, has 8 areas that we regularly focus on. One of those areas is health and fitness. Most of the people I work with and many of the people I talk to, at one point in life have tried to lose weight or thought about losing a few pounds so they could be fitter and healthier and ultimately feel better and maybe even live longer. If you have tried to lose weight or thought about it, you are certainly in the majority. If you would like to improve your health and fitness and maybe even lose a few pounds in the process – this special interview we are doing today is for you. We are honored today to have an expert with us to talk about health and fitness. Denis Collier is a Registered Dietitian, a Certified Exercise Physiologist and has a Masters degree in Kinesiology. The company he founded specializes in helping individuals reach their most valuable goals by integrating nutrition with a physically active lifestyle. We are talking about how many people say they have tried repeatedly to lose weight and had little to no success. Some have probably thought about losing weight but maybe don’t have a plan or know the best way to approach being healthier and fitter. Denis shares a 5 step approach, a system of “arguing with yourself” to rid yourself of negative beliefs and become more optimistic about doing the things you need to do to lose weight and improve your health, fitness and quality of life in general. He calls it the “A.E.I.O.U. Technique”. Listen and learn! You will receive value from this special interview with our expert, Denis Collier.

Today we are going to talk about Creating Your Ideal Client Profile and replicating them. During the course of my many conversations with coaching clients, I have found that many don’t have an Ideal Client Profile written down. Most have an idea in their head or they have a few things written down but not a total list of what they really want. Consider this: Who are the clients you like the best and enjoy serving? It’s okay to tell the marketplace, these are the people who are best service by you and your firm. It is also okay to disengage from those who you don’t enjoy being around and every time they call, you have a negative reaction. Life is for enjoying, don’t waste time with people you want enjoy or want to be around. Imagine your firm with only clients who provide you the revenue to life the lifestyle you want and you actually enjoy servicing. We discuss several Ideal Client Profile options for you to consider and implement in your business to increase your success. Then we will talk about the applying the power of replicating only your Ideal Clients. Your ultimate objective might be to take on only those clients who match your Ideal Client Profile. Sometimes it doesn’t always work out this way if you need money to survive; however, when you focus on attracting Ideal Clients you have a better chance of acquiring them. Figure out exactly what you want, state it clearly, and allow the “replicators” to work for you. Reap the rewards! Aim for what you want each and every day!

Today we are going to talk about reducing or eliminating the things that are No Longer Acceptable in Your Life. Many of us say we’re going to make changes to eliminate the things we don‘t like about our life, but few of us actually commit to improving the quality of our life. We stay in a job we don’t like and in a relationship that does not serve us, and blame our circumstances on the “hand” we’ve been dealt in life. If you have ever felt like this - it’s time to get a dose of reality. Whether you’re sick of your financial situation, your health or destructive relationships, you have the power to eliminate the “no longer acceptables” in your life and create the life you want and deserve. Creating the life you want simply begins with a choice - you choose to eliminate the “no longer acceptables” in your life. Changing your life circumstances is that easy. You choose your desired reality instead of your current reality, and commit to doing whatever it takes in order to create it. While some people will live their entire life believing they are bound by their current circumstances, it does not have to be that way for you. Eliminating those things you find yourself being most unhappy with will allow so much more peace and emotional space. You will feel like a new person when you finally eliminate the things that have been holding you back from what you really want. We are discussing some practical steps you can take to start eliminating the “no longer acceptables” from your life: You deserve so much more than you currently have, but it’s up to you to do something about it. You can’t make improvements until you eliminate the “no longer acceptables” from your life. Aim for what you want each and every day! For more information go to www.AccountabilityCoach.com.

Today we are going to talk about the impact of time wasters in our life. In the ever increasing rat race that we run to impress our boss and maintain job security (or turn business profits so we can pay ourselves), all the while making time for our family; we find ourselves suffering from sheer exhaustion trying to create more hours in the day so we can get everything done we need to do. All the miscellaneous stuff that consumes your time with little or no return eventually must be eliminated from your schedule. The bottom line is that anyone who has a demanding career or runs their own business has to practice excellent time management, effective delegation and learning to say the word, “No.” It’s just not possible to maintain the simple life while achieving a high level of success and with today’s technology; it’s harder to hide when you need a break. It is at this point that you have to filter the input so you can begin to regain control over your life. As good as you think you may be with your time management; there are probably “time-wasters” that can be eliminated from your daily life. We will talk about several examples of time wasters that are preventing you from going from good to great. Aim for what you want each and every day!

Today we are going to talk about how most of us just don’t have enough accountability in our life to be as successful as we desire. We are trained from birth to believe that if we want something badly enough, we will find a way to make that something a reality. For most people this is not the case. All the enthusiasm, gusto, and zeal in the world cannot guarantee results. Even the best of intentions will not magically move us forward. Following through is the key component of goal achievement. When you stop procrastinating and follow through on your good intentions, you turn your intentions into tangible results. Yet our intentions don’t always control our actions. Even when we start out strong and act on our good intentions, most people will slip back into their old habits in a short period of time. Even things that we believe are really important to us can fall victim to procrastination. The biggest problem most people face when trying to achieve their goals is lack of accountability. If you are only reporting to yourself, procrastination becomes easy. “I’ll start tomorrow,” or “I’ll make this my New Year’s Eve resolution,” or “I’ll eat this cheesecake now and start my diet tomorrow,” is most people’s mantra. Unfortunately, tomorrow becomes next week, next week becomes next month, and eventually next month becomes never. People think they know what they want, but believe that they don’t have the will power or determination to actually take steps toward their goals. We are all human. We all need help and support. Nobody succeeds alone. So why can’t we just follow through on our actions? Researchers offer a variety of viewpoints to explain the problem. So how do individuals who are lacking the “follow through” gene still produce results? How do you alter your good intentions to produce the follow through necessary for action? You will learn some proven tips to help you follow through so you can achieve your goals. Aim for what you want each and every day! For more information go to www.AccountabilityCoach.com.

Today we are going to talk about procrastination and how it impacts your life. Poor follow through – consciously deciding to do something, but then not doing it for whatever reason – is a fact of life for many of us. Most people find that the gap between their intentions and their actions is too vast, and fall short of doing what is required to achieve their goals. Think about the promises you’ve made to yourself in the past. Of all the promises and commitments you have made to yourself, how many have you kept? Have you ever considered the cost of poor follow through in your life? Think about a goal that you have failed to meet in the past. Was your failure to follow through a by-product of the fact that you were really okay with the way things were to begin with? Or does the poor follow through bother you? Does the knowledge that you didn’t follow through with your goals eat you up inside because you know you aren’t doing what you need to do to get the result you say you want? As long as we continue to expect our “good” intentions to work the way they should instead of facing reality about the probability of following through, we’ll just keep repeating the same mistakes. When we rationalize with ourselves to avoid completing necessary tasks we are only holding ourselves back from getting what we desire. This is why the best performers and athletes have coaches. We are human. It’s okay. Get help! Aim for what you want each and every day! For more information go to www.AccountabilityCoach.com.
