Lose Fat Faster By Setting Goals Like This

Are you setting effective monthly goals?

If you have both your diet and exercise dialed in but are still not seeing the results you’d like, then it’s likely you are not setting “SMARTER” goals.

It wasn’t until I started setting goals that it became apparent that this often overlooked component was the only thing in my way from achieving my fitness goals.

I didn’t come up with the “SMARTER” formula. I can’t remember where I read it, but I knew the moment I saw it that it needed to be implemented and so I did. It started with my fitness goals, and now I use it to set goals for everything,

In order to set “SMARTER” goals, they need to be:

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time Specific
Evaluate
Revise

Once you learn how to effectively set goals it’s important to evaluate and revise them, or as I like to refer to it as correcting course.

With that in mind, once you have the “SMARTER” goal formula you must learn step two and that’s visualization. Napoleon Hill said it best, “whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve”. There is so much flippin’ power in that statement, and it could’t be more spot on.

In other words, your goals not only need to be smarter, they need to be written in first person. You need to see yourself crossing the finish line, shattering that goal.

Here is an example of an unacceptable goal… “I want to lose some weight”.

Let’s rewrite that to follow the “SMARTER” formula and speak our new language… “It’s January 21st, 30 days from today and I have lost 11 pounds and 2 inches off my waist”.

Can you see the difference?! This is crucial and it cannot be overlooked.

You start setting goals like this and look out! How does that saying go?

You will be like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

Lastly, you need to write down weekly goals every 7 days and 30 day goals every months.

These are new goals. I want you write them down on a yellow Post-It note and place it somewhere where you’ll see the goals every single day without fail.

You do this and you cannot fail. This is power!

What’s your goal for the next 30 days?
