Do it Messy
My friend Dean Graziosi sent me this yesterday morning, and I knew immediatley I had to share it with you:
And with that in mind, today I want to share a stat I read this morning – I’ve seen it before but it blows me away every time I see it.
Do you know what percentage of people achieve the goals they set?
8 percent.
That means 92% don’t.
Every single person in the world has goals. Most of the time it’s getting a certain job, or trying to hit a certain level of income, getting in better shape or growing a relationship.
Sometimes our goals are big. Sometimes they’re small. But we all have something we’re chasing.
So with all those billions of people in the world, with all those billions of goals… why is the percentage of people who actually achieve their goals so small?
Or a better way to ask it…
Where’s the gap?
If we’re really honest with ourselves, we all know where our gap is…
“I can’t find the time”
“This week (or month or year) got away from me”
“I’m not ready yet”
We tell ourselves these reasons why we CAN’T and end up killing our momentum before we even build any.
So what’s the solution?
You do it messy.
There’s this idea that everything needs to feel perfect and polished before we take the first or next step.
That mentality will keep us stuck and waiting for way too long, sometimes our whole lives.
Real success is messy… you go up and down, forward and backward.
Real success is recognizing you’re scared… and choosing to take action anyway.
Real success is going after your next level… even if your current one isn’t perfect.
Even saying that, I know there will still be soooo many people who hold themselves back and wait until the stars align and everything feels “right” before going after what they really want.
So before that happens (or if it’s already happening) remember this:
What’s the worst that could happen?
Sometimes we hold ourselves back because we’re afraid of trying and failing. So be honest with yourself shihansteve – what’s the worst that could happen? You fail… and then you pick yourself up and try again. It’s never “over” unless YOU say it is.
You’re not in this alone
You have this incredible Mastermind community, with thousands of people who will have your back and support you in the exact way you need. So if you’re not sure, if you’re not confident, if you’re feeling pulled back or like there’s a gap between you and your goals… lean on them for support.
And the awesome community is just ONE benefit of being in this incredible family 😉
That’s the same way I feel about our community at KMMA by the way.
