You become what you think about most of the time. And there's a rule that says to achieve a goal that you have never achieved before, you have to develop a skill that you have never had before. So you have to become excellent as something that you have not been excellent at before. There's always a price or you have to pay to achieve a new goal. And in our age, it's almost always the development of a new skill. So what is your new skill? And to be successful, do only those things that are moving you every day toward the goals you want to achieve. So for all those who wish to know the steps to achieve your goals, today I'm going to share a six steps template. So who wish to note them down, please bring in your pen and paper and till then I shall wait for you. Hello all, I'm Kapil Gupta, founder of Study Abroad Academy. I am on a mission to coach and mentor 100,000 high school students and help them realize their dream of studying in the best universities of the world and build happy careers for themselves. Today I'm going to share a six steps template that will tell you how to achieve your goals. I believe all of you are ready to note them down. And so let's get started. And if you need to pause the podcast to note down, please do that. Goals are incredibly important in life because they provide direction, focus, and a sense of purpose. Without goals, we may feel lost or aimless, unsure of what we want to achieve or how to get there. Setting goals allows us to create a roadmap for our lives, identifying the things that are most important to us and the steps we need to take to achieve them. Goals give us something to strive for and motivate us to keep pushing forward, even when things get tough. Moreover, having clear goals in life can help us prioritize our time and energy and making it easier to stay focused on what really matters. With well-defined goals, we can make decisions that align with our values and move us closer to our objectives. So let's begin with our steps to achieve those goals. Now achieving goals requires a systematic approach that involves planning, taking actions, and monitoring progress. So here are some steps, in fact, six steps to help you achieve your goals. Step number one, set specific and measurable goals. Define your goals in clear and specific terms and ensure they have measurable outcomes. Identify what you want to achieve, how you will measure progress, and by when you want to achieve it. You will be surprised to know that only 3% of adults, mind it, three, three percent of adults have written goals. And according to 75 years of research, people with written goals earn ten times as much or ten times as much as people without the written goals. So they are ten times richer. And what does it cost to write down your goals? It costs a piece of paper, a pen, and about three to five minutes of your time. So is it a bad deal? Coming to step number two, create a plan. Break down your goals into smaller, actionable steps, and create a plan that outlines what you need to do to achieve each step. Consider the resources, skills, and support you need to accomplish your goals. Step number three take action. And just not action, but consistent action. One step forward every day. So, like because with every step you move closer to achieving your goal. Do the tasks that are outlined in your plan. Stay focused on your goals, be disciplined, and persevere through obstacles and setbacks. Nothing should stop you. Then step number four, monitor your progress. Regularly track and monitor your progress towards achieving your goals. Assess what is working, what needs to be adjusted. Maybe you need to tweak your plan a little bit to make it more, you know, taking you to the final goal and identify any potential roadblocks. Then step number five, stay motivated. Keep yourself motivated by celebrating small wins, staying positive, and focusing on your reasons for pursuing your goals. Remember why your goals are important to you. So that why is very important because that keeps you motivated and how they align with your values and aspirations. Then step number six, adjust your plan. As you make progress towards your goals, be open to adjusting your plan based on new information, changing circumstances, or unforeseen challenges. So by following these steps, you can increase your chances of achieving your goals and creating a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Then overall, goals are essential for living a meaningful and purposeful life. And by setting clear objectives, working towards them, we can create a life that is fulfilling, satisfying, and aligned with our values and aspirations. And when you think about your goals and how to achieve them, it actually makes you happy. So people who are thinking about their goals are happy most of the time. They are most positive, they are more creative, they have better friendships, they have more energy, they get up earlier and they work harder because they have clarity about what they want. So if you write down ten goals about what you want to achieve in the next year, everything that you write down by hand, why I'm specifying by hand? Because you don't have to type. It's by hand is immediately say saved to your subconscious mind. And that subconscious mind begins to work for it 24 hours a day. Give a clear deadline. Tell your subconscious mind when you want the goal to be achieved. And if you don't achieve it by the deadline, set a new deadline. So that will be all for the day, and I believe these steps will actually help you get closer to your dream destination. So I hope you find this podcast useful.
