The Secret to Goal Achievement

The other night I was lucky enough to get an exclusive invite for dinner with an amazing man. His name is Dr. Jeff Spencer. You can check him out at DrJeffSpencer.com. He's trained people in high performance because he's been an Olympian and been doing this for 50 years. He trained people like Lance Armstrong and all of his wins, Tiger Woods, and U2. It's pretty incredible to see what he does, let alone the big corporations that he's working with to help them, too. And his zone of genius is talking about what he calls goal achievement. 

So it's not just set a goal and then eventually you'll finish it, there's a whole process that he outlines through goal achievement. But what he said that was so important to me was that knowing where you are within that goal achievement process is critical for you to keep going forward and continuing, even when the going gets tough. When we're entrepreneurs and we're just doing the daily grind, we don't realize that that daily grind is a part of the process. It actually follows the honeymoon period. 

What he says is you start and then you feel this honeymoon euphoria about, "This is amazing! We're making progress." And then we go to the daily grind, and the daily grind means that you might not be seeing the progress that you want. It's the consistency of the daily grind that really matters, even when it feels like it's not making any progress, which is, of course, very difficult for entrepreneurs like us, right? Then once you get through that, and who knows how long that will take, you can actually have a breakout where you really push forward at the end and you know, know that the goal is achievable. 

You have this knowing, and that's when you finish the goal. So where do you think you are just on that piece? He definitely worked on a bunch of other pieces that I can't go into right now, but in that segment, where do you think you're at? Did you just set a goal and now you're in the honeymoon amazing period? Are you part of the daily grind? Or do you feel like you're in that breakout session where you know that goal can be achieved? Knowing where you are will help you with your mindset so you can push through wherever you're going.
