motivational text message videos about a minute long multiple times throughout the week to help you improve and to help you get better. Today we're going to talk about how to improve your goal hitting by using this one simple goal setting technique. And so

there's a thing called Pearson's Law and that's what we're going to dive into today. Pearson's Law says this when performance is measured performance improves when performance is measured and reported back the

rate of improvement accelerates. So what exactly does that mean? Well, if you want to track something that you're trying to get better at, you will

improve if you track something and report it back to somebody else, the rate that you're going to improve gets way better. And so let me give you an example of how I could use how you

could use and how I've used it before even with some of my clients in the past about four years ago, I had a client that started work with me. And the first thing he wanted to work on was he wanted to lose some weight. And now in no form of anything in my weight loss coach. I'm not a fitness coach. Any of those things. But I knew Pearson's law. And so we used it.

So if he were to go and just jump on the scale every single morning and look at what he weighed if he was trying to lose weight, he would lose weight just because the fact that he would be measuring it. But if he has to report back to me every single week with his exact weight. He's going to improve exponentially.

So this is what we did. I had him buy a scale that was connected to his phone through Bluetooth in every single morning. He was required to get on to that scale. Have his phone read it through Bluetooth, which automatically logs his body weight, his body fat percentage, his muscle mass, his water weight, all of those things. And then just you step on it within two seconds. It's automatically logged inside your phone. And then every week when we had our calls.

He would have to send me the screenshot of every single weigh in from the week before, which kept him on track, but also gave him somebody to hold him accountable to what he knew he was supposed to do. And just this simple strategy improved his weight loss exponentially. So he weighed about 230 when we first started working together. And he lost about 35 pounds within the first four months of us working together.

Simply because he was tracking every single day. So he could see if he was improving or he could see if he's getting worse. And on the days that he got worse, it then made him go to the gym and work out harder because he knew that we were going to be talking every single week to improve this.

And so once again, at its simplest form, if you track it, it will improve. If you track it and have to tell somebody your results weekly, you'll improve exponentially because now you have an accountability partner. And think about this.

It's super important. Quantification in your life and in your business are critical to your success. If you think about it, no company just goes, you know what, we're going to just wing it this month.

We're going to wing it this year and just hopefully we do well. No, they come down. They sit down and say, okay, we're going to sit down.

Our sales team, we're going to figure out exactly what it is that we need to do. How much we need to have them sell this month. Then they go and they sit down with their finance department and they have to make a budget. They have to track all of these things.

And they have to figure out their PNLs. And that's exactly how your life should be the same way that you go into planning a business and making a business plan.

You should go into planning your life and acting and being as serious as you would with a business on your own personal life.

And so when we're working towards a goal, we have to track everything that we have going on. And we have to make sure that we have someone to hold it accountable to it.

This could be how much money you want to make. This could be how much you want to save. This could be, you know, how much weight you want to lose, how much weight you want to gain, how often you want to go to the gym.

What you're going to be eating, how often you go on date nights with your spouse, how many times you show up to to your house after work before six o'clock instead of staying home late every single night and working.

These are all things that could be tracked, measured and then recorded and brought back to somebody else to hold you accountable because how often think about this.
