Alright, today what I'm going to be talking about is creating deadlines.

Creating deadlines for yourself. One of the main reasons why I find that a lot of people do not get what they want in life is because they don't give themselves a definite 100% deadline

that they need to hit their goal by. I'll give you a perfect example. Most people like to set New Year's resolutions.

The New Year's resolution usually has a deadline that's by the end of the year.

But one way to actually speed along your New Year's resolutions is to give yourself a deadline of making your New Year's resolution by June 31st or June 30th.

I'm not sure how many days. Usually it's just July 1st is what I think because that's six months into the year.

July 1st, for instance, my goal was to be living in Italy by July 1st. That was what I had up everywhere. That was my number one goal for this year and we're going to be there by June 1st.

But you have to think of it this way. If I didn't give myself a deadline of July 31st or July 1st of having to be there by that time, there's a pretty good chance I might have started and gotten there in September or October.

If I would have just said by the end of the year, I may have gotten there by the end of the year, but I said I will 100% be there by July 1st.

In part of it is you have to make that deadline, that actual date. The other part of it is that you have to cut off all other options.

Mine was I will 100% be there by July 1st, right? You have to have that. There are no other options. You have to make the decision that this is the date I will hit it by.

And that's the importance of setting deadlines is you have to figure out I hear a lot of people are there like, you know, this is my goal. This is my goal. I want to lose weight. I want to be healthier. I want to be happier. I want to have more money. I want to make more money.

All of those are great. All of them are great. The only problem with those is that there's no actual clear goal on what it is and what their date is.

So for every goal that you have, it should be very clear on what it is. You can't just say I want to be healthier. I want to lose weight. How much weight do you want to lose? You have to know the exact number and buy the exact date.

So instead of saying this year, I want to lose weight, which you, you know, if you lose one pound this year, that's losing weight. You have to say, I want to lose 10 pounds by July 1st.

Once you make that decision and give yourself no other options, it now gives you something to shoot for, right? It gives you something to shoot for. This is the way that I do everything. I have a new social media manager that I've been working with. And I was like, what is our goal?

Okay, we're going to pick up in the next three months. We're working for 40,000 new likes on the Facebook page, right? That's a goal. But before we before that came about, we didn't have any goals. And so there's, it's very obscure. It's very abstract if you don't know exactly what you're shooting for.
