In this Episode:
This podcast from "Achieve Results NOW!" with Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt focuses on troubleshooting goals when things don't go as planned. They use the analogy of a printer that "should" work but doesn't, relating it to how goals sometimes fail despite our best efforts.
Three key steps to troubleshoot your goals:
1. Run a Systems Check: Re-evaluate Your "Why":
This initial step emphasizes the importance of understanding your motivation for a goal. By deeply exploring "why" you want to achieve something, you can gain clarity and renewed drive. The hosts suggest that sometimes, this re-evaluation might even lead you to postpone or scrap a goal if it's no longer aligned with your core values or priorities. They highlight the concept of creating leverage by involving others or making commitments, which can increase your motivation to follow through.
2. Pinpoint the Specific Obstacle: Identify Error Messages:
This step encourages listeners to act like a troubleshooter looking for an error message. Instead of blaming external factors, the hosts urge listeners to look inward and identify specific internal obstacles, often related to bad habits. They suggest that many obstacles are a result of our own behaviors and routines, emphasizing that these habits can affect multiple areas of life, not just the goal in question.
3. Software Update: Learn and Adapt:
The final step is about personal growth and change. This involves adjusting your thinking, learning from past mistakes, and adapting your approach. The hosts stress that if you remain the same person, you'll likely encounter the same problems. They encourage listeners to challenge negative self-talk and ingrained mindsets, particularly around time management. Additionally, they suggest identifying skill gaps and actively working to improve them, using examples like public speaking and joining groups like Toastmasters. The hosts conclude by recommending finding a trusted person who can provide honest feedback and help you identify your blind spots.
