In this article culled from my Youtube video on this topic, I'll be sharing a technique that has tremendously improved my life. I stumbled upon it while browsing YouTube for motivational content and learned about it from a prominent self-development speaker, Brian Tracy. Not only is it an easy technique that doesn't take much time, but it has made a huge impact on my life.
So, I'm excited to share this technique with you today and outline the steps so that you can start practising it too. Trust me, it's a game-changer. Let's dive in!
Brian Tracy 31 Days Challenge
Brian Tracy's 31-day spiral notebook challenge is a powerful way to achieve your goals. Unlike sporadic goal-setting, Tracy's approach involves writing down 10 goals and wishes every day, in all aspects of your life - financial, relationships, mental, or materialistic. The challenge is to do it daily until it becomes a habit.
The spiral notebook allows you to flip the pages easily, so you can't see what you wrote yesterday. Some goals may transfer from day to day, while others may be forgotten. Practising this daily can have a tremendous impact on your life. Tracy's methodology is a powerful tool that can help you achieve your dreams.
The Power of Knowing Your Goals
Knowing your goals is essential to achieving success in life. This is especially true when it comes to Brian Tracy's 31-day challenge. The methodology behind this challenge is simple yet powerful. By writing down 10 goals and wishes every day, you're training your brain to focus on your aspirations on a daily basis. However, before you can begin the challenge, you need to know exactly what you want.
The methodology behind the challenge starts with knowing your goals. It's like being in a foreign country and wanting to see the Eiffel Tower. You may not know where to start, but knowing what you want will take you in the right direction. When you know what you want from life, you'll have a sense of direction, and you'll know what steps you need to take to achieve your aspirations.
Write it Down
Writing down your goals and wishes on paper is a crucial step in Brian Tracy's spiral notebook challenge. The act of writing solidifies your aspirations and sets you on the path to success. It entrenches your goals in your subconscious mind, making it easier for your mind to attract the opportunities and circumstances needed to achieve them.
Writing down your goals clarifies your thoughts and intentions, gives you a sense of direction and purpose, and helps you stay accountable and track your progress. It's an essential component of the challenge that keeps you focused and motivated on your journey towards achieving your aspirations.
Make it Personal with a Timeline
The third step in Brian Tracy's challenge is to write down your goals and wishes using "I" in the present tense, and with a deadline. For example, "I will buy a house by July 2025" or "I will publish a book by the end of this year." Setting a deadline makes your goals more concrete and actionable.
It's important to set realistic and achievable goals that are also challenging. For instance, if you're currently earning $100, a goal to earn $150 in a year is not challenging enough. Instead, a goal to earn $1000 in a year is more realistic and challenging.
Writing out your goals and wishes using the present tense and "I" gives you a sense of direction and purpose. It also makes it easier for your subconscious mind to attract the opportunities and circumstances needed to achieve your goals. So, grab a pen and paper and start writing out your goals and wishes today!
The Power of Action
Brian Tracy's challenge requires not only writing down your goals and wishes but also taking action. Once you have created a priority list, write down the goal and create an action plan. The action plan should include steps needed to achieve the goal.
For example, if your goal is to drive your own car by 2023, your action plan could include hiring a driving instructor, paying in advance for a month of classes, and committing to attending each class.
Taking action immediately is crucial for success. Do not procrastinate or postpone, especially if the action takes less than five minutes. Remember, a wish without an action is just a dream. So, start taking small steps or making progress towards your goals today!
The Power of Consistency
Brian Tracy's challenge emphasises the importance of consistency in achieving success. Doing something every day that brings you closer to your goals and aspirations will have a cumulative effect over time. Consistency is more important than intensity.
Doing a little bit every day is better than waiting for a specific date to do a lot of it. For instance, learning a new skill, such as French, for 10-15 minutes every day is better than dedicating 5-6 hours over the weekend. Drop by drop, an ocean is made. Remember, consistency is key to achieving success with Brian Tracy's spiral notebook challenge.
The Power of Focus
Brian Tracy's notebook challenge emphasises the importance of focus in achieving success. Once you have set your goals and made an action plan, do not lose focus. Avoid getting distracted by outside information or opinions. Focus on what you want from life and what you're good at.
Identify the obstacles that are hindering you from achieving the life you want to live. It could be a lack of time, investment, desire, fear, or self-discipline. Work on eliminating these obstacles to achieve your goals. Start the 31-day notebook challenge today, be consistent, and see the tremendous impact it can make on your life.
