Set Bold Goals, Meet Future You

Hi 6-Figure MT Crew!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe new year!

Right now is the perfect time to reflect on our goals and aspirations. I wanted to share with you one of the things I do every year to set myself up for success.

Today, I want to share two powerful tools that can profoundly impact your personal growth and success: setting Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs) and writing a letter to your future self.

Setting BHAGs pushes you to dream big and think outside the box, while writing a letter to your future self helps you visualize where you want to be and keeps you accountable. It's a unique way to connect with your future self, reminding you of the goals you have today.

Many people set goals but lose track of them as life gets busy. A year passes, and we often find ourselves no closer to our dreams. This is where the power of visualization and reflection comes in.

I know there are some people who don't believe in these types of things (including me years ago) but writing down your goals have been shown to increase the chance of success. And it's kind of cool to see if you came close to those goals.

“Imagine receiving a letter from your past self, one year from now, congratulating you on achieving a goal you thought was nearly impossible. That's the magic of combining BHAGs with a letter to your future self."

Here's how to get started:

 1. Set Your BHAG: Think of a goal that's so bold it almost scares you. Make sure it's positive, vivid, and entirely under your control.

2. Write to Your Future Self: Go to futureme.org. Write a letter to yourself, one year from now. Describe how it feels to achieve your BHAG, the challenges you overcame, and the growth you experienced. Don't forget to set it for "One Year!"

3. Be Specific and Sensory-Based: In your letter, describe in detail what achieving your goal looks and feels like. Paint a picture so clear that your future self can see it.

4. Consider the Impact: Reflect on how achieving this goal will affect different aspects of your life. Make sure it aligns with your overall vision.

5. Take the First Step: End your letter with the first action you’ll take towards this goal. It’s about making a commitment and starting the journey.

6. Send and Await: Once you’re done, send the letter through futureme.org. You’ll receive it a year from now – a powerful reminder of the commitment you made.

As we start this year, let’s do something different. Let’s set goals that challenge us and write a promise to our future selves. Imagine the sense of achievement and growth you’ll feel reading that letter a year from now.

Here's to a year of audacious goals and transformative growth!

To happy clients and earning more,

Joe

P.S. Don't forget to celebrate each step you take towards your BHAG throughout the year! Your future self will thank you for it.
