GOALS A Better Way To CrushingYour Goals
Crushing Your Goals – Key Points
1. Goal Orientated V Process Orientated
Most of us are motivated by the benefits behind the goals, but this motivation erodes over time as ‘life’ gets in the way…
The benefit gets outweighed by the time, and work required; making the goal seem too distant.
The good news…
We’re already process orientated but rarely do we combine our goals with a pleasurable process to attaining them.
We need to integrate our goals where possible with a process we’re already happy to do.
2. For business goals Shane tells us we need a mindset shift, that gets us to see optimising and improving our business processes as a game.
Gamifying our business process is a great idea provided we understand the game we want to play…
Meaning that there’s a danger that we get pulled into business games we don’t want to play!
3. To become a strong ‘finisher’ somebody who sets a goal and does the long term work required to hit it we have to ask ourselves two key questions…
- What game are we playing?
- Is this a game I want to play and improve upon?
If we can align our business processes with stuff we enjoy doing and can get better at…
We’ll do it…
And hitting goals won’t seem like work.
How I’m Going To Implement This
I promote what I call Ultimate affiliate programs because they work (get a RESULT) for a high percentage of people, and build me multiple streams of income that make my business more robust because I’m never dependant on any one company product or service.
What’s more they do the follow-up marketing to the people I introduce which not only provides the potential for long term affiliate income but frees me to do the KEY PROCESS needed for success…
FINDING people looking for the RESULT and SHOWING them where they can get it .
To follow Shanes advice I need to map my key process and ‘gamify’ it to make it more fun for me….
It’s true my business contains elements I’m always willing to do, and stuff that sucks the energy out of me.
I need to dig deeper into this and build a process I can have fun following, measure and improve over time.
I have a profitable ‘ultimate’ product to promote.
I have a process that works to create profit.
Some aspects were also ‘fun’…
But some sucked! (email marketing to be specific)
I’ll work on this and link to my corrected gamified ‘Ultimate’ Business Process when I get it.
Will you work to gamify your business process?
Please let me know in the comments 🙂
Hello there! Wow, I love this post. I have always struggled throughout my life to set goals that I will actually achieve. Usually, I can set goals but tend to get off track quickly. The video you included was very informative and provided lots of great information. I was wondering if you had any strategies for achieving academic goals?
Hi Rashaad, I would say that this approach could be modified for any goal. Why can’t you break down the success process needed, and then try and gamify it to make it more fun?
The advantage gets exceeded when, and work required; causing the objective to appear to be excessively inaccessible.
The uplifting news…
We’re now process orientated yet once in a while do we join our objectives with a pleasurable procedure to achieving them.
We have to incorporate our objectives where conceivable with a procedure we’re as of now glad to do.
Now this is a great idea gamifying the business process. I love this idea as I struggle with some aspects of online business, it’s just too time consuming. You have made me really think about how I can make my daily business process more fun.
I see that you outsource your connection to your members, which frees you up to do more fun and productive work.
I wonder how this works for content production?

Hi Lily, I can’t say that I’ve ever outsourced content creation (I just avoid it when possible), but have read quite a few accounts of people that do …in fact to grow a really big content marketing business I believe you have no choice!
