We’ve covered how you should use the Law of Attraction, but how to actually implement it in your life.
It’s one thing to say, “You need to set goals and take action,” but what is the process like?
Here’s a quick step-by-step process that you can use to get started.
Step 1. Depth is more important than width
When trying to articulate a clear vision of where you want to be in the future, you need to be specific.
It’s no good saying you want to become a lawyer with an M.D. who travels the world and runs an online business teaching people about fitness.
That would be a great summary.
Instead, you must choose one thing and stick with it. Don’t change it after three months, because you think it can’t be done.
You must focus on the laser guide and never lose sight of the target, no matter how difficult it may be.
Step 2: starting from the end
It may seem counter-intuitive at first, but starting with a goal and working backward is the best way to create a clear path to follow.
Now that you have a vision of where you want to be in life, you must decide how you are going to get there.
This can be done in many ways. But I’d start by defining what you need to live the life you dream of.
Are you making $ 20,000 a month through an online business or $ 3,000 a month for free to do whatever you want? Or is it having a high paying office job and being able to afford a great vacation a couple of times a year?
Be that as it may, you necessary to take a little time to formulate a specific goal that, when achieved, will allow you to lead this lifestyle.
I personally value freedom now. I have always put freedom over wealth and coincidentally now work as a freelancer in Thailand. I’ll let you decide if it’s coincidence or not.
Step 3: turn your goals into reality
Once you have a specific goal, you can take action and get to work.
My number one piece of advice to people is how the world is changing: learn to capitalize on skills.
I won’t go into details here; you can watch me How to succeed in a Skills Economy podcast for more information.
In my case, I have begun with web design and programming. Then I went on to writing, and now I’m in marketing. The trick is to find what you like and be awesome at it.
You need to learn it so well that people are willing to pay you for your skill. It really doesn’t get as long as you think, and you’re probably much closer to achieving it than you think.
Once you find something, you just have to learn how to turn it into a career. There is a large amount of information on the Internet. Search “how to make money doing X on the Internet” or “how to be better than X.”
This takes up to us the fourth and final step.
Step 4. Take action and learn to love failure.
You’ve probably seen this. But I can’t stress enough how important acting is to you.
Don’t be someone who spends all your time researching and consuming content, never believing you know enough.
The best way to learn is to complement the experience. The easiest way to experience this is to try and fail.
Over the past five years, I have failed more times than I ever imagined. Most entrepreneurs fail down many times before they succeed.
This is a normal part of the process. By destroying yourself and constantly getting stronger each time, you will always learn and grow and ultimately achieve your goals.
Now I’m not going to sugarcoat it. The journey is very hard. There will be when you decide to surrender and go back to the life you had before. You will think that your dream of living in a villa by the sea is silly and that you were a fool when you thought it would come true.
It happens to everyone.
Your brain is designed to seek safety and comfort. When you do something that takes you out of this comfort zone, it is a natural reaction for you to stop. If you can get through these tough times, be consistent and keep going; I guarantee that in the end, you will be a completely new person.
