- Even if you don't have goals,
you know what you want.
Like you know.
And so now, it's just a matter of what are you
gonna do about it?
(soft electronic music)
What's up socials?
Welcome back to AmyTV.
I know you're thinking about something
that you really, really, really want in life,
even if you don't sit down every day,
and write down your goals, and wish upon a star,
and all that kinda happy stuff,
that they tell us we should probably do
if we really want something in life.
Even if you don't feel it is a traditional goal,
you know, in your heart, that there's something
that you wish you could achieve,
or would like to achieve, or would like to work toward.
And we both know that that thing is doing nothing for you
just sitting inside your head.
Just thinking maybe it'll get served up to you
one day on a silver platter,
we both know, it ain't gonna happen.
So no matter how you frame these things,
whether it's your goal, whether it's just something
that would be really kinda cool if it happened,
or if you want it a little bit, or if you want it a lot.
We need to break down, how you make it happen.
How do you activate your goals to coming to life?
I know you're excited to get started,
but before we do, whether you're new,
or you've been around here for a while,
make sure you're subscribed to this channel.
I make new videos every Wednesday and Sunday.
And if you tap that notification bell,
I hear you may be notified purposefully
about the next video going out.
I hope that's true.
Okay, how do we activate your goals,
so that they come to life?
I think first and foremost, you need to realize
this is all in your hands.
You can continue to blame or wait for the rest of the world
to decide and choose how your life is going to be,
but I don't think you would be here
if you knew that that was gonna be a good idea.
Just a quick spoiler, it's not a good idea.
Take control of your own life,
go after the things that you want,
and choose those things that are super-important to you.
Write them down.
What is something that you really want to happen?
You might have like 10 of these things,
you might have just one.
But I hope that you can get really focused
around just a few right now.
And I'll get to more of those specifics later.
But if you are very clear about something
that you really want to happen, write that down,
because you really need to get it out of your head
and into the real world.
Do not be afraid to write something crazy down, okay?
Something wild, something that might seem impossible.
Is it really impossible?
Just do it.
Really wrap your mind around it and allow yourself to think:
What would the next step be for this?
Now the next thing I want you to do is
think about where you are in this moment.
Right now, you're watching a YouTube video.
But other than that, where are you in this moment?
Where are you in this moment in comparison
to those things that you want to happen?
W'ere not gonna look toward the past.
We're not gonna blame circumstances.
We are just going to say, as it pertains
to this thing that I want, here's how far I have come.
Whether you're starting at zero,
or you've done a little bit of work up to this point.
Really just be aware.
What is the state of things right now?
How can it get better?
That's where we're going next.
But if you don't know where you're starting from,
you really can't move forward.
It's really easy to put yourself in someone else's situation
and say well, if only I was at that stage of the game,
I'd be much closer to what I want, or I'd have what I want.
Just embrace who you are, what you are,
what's happening with you right now,
and where you are at this point.
Recognizing that is actually really refreshing.
It might be a little disappointing to some,
but it's refreshing because it's just out there.
Especially if you write that down too,
it's very clear between point A and point B,
what we're looking at.
Now this is where the fun starts.
This is where we actually do something about it.
Now that you see where you are now,
and where you'd like to go:
What do we need to do to get to where you want to be?
You're not gonna have all the answers to this.
But you really need to get an idea of what those steps are.
What is something you could do right now?
What is something you know will have to happen
in order for you to achieve that thing?
What are some of the things you're just guessing
would be a required thing of you to be able to do
if you wanted to achieve that goal?
Just write down action steps.
These might be similar to many goals,
but hopefully they are actual things
that you can do, not just milestones.
We don't care about milestones,
we're trying to get from A to B at this point.
What are the things you need to do
in order to make that happen?
What are some of the things you want to do along the way?
Maybe there's gonna be a little bit of a mix of both,
but a lot of these are probably gonna look like necessities,
steps you know you need to take
that might be a little bit more difficult than you'd like,
might be fun some of the time,
but are certainly going to pay off in the long run,
the more you do to be able to get to that next thing.
This is a brainstorm that I like to call
The Boss Life Action Plan.
If you are having a boss life,
then you are achieving your goals
by working toward them every single day,
even if you haven't gotten to them yet,
you're working toward them.
And they're things that you want for your life.
There are things there that you're so excited
that you'll eventually be able to tell the world
that you've done, or you've been able to do,
or been able to accomplish.
Living a boss life means not letting things happen to you,
but letting things happen because you went
in the direction of them and made them happen for you.
It can be really easy, really easy in 2018
to get distracted by Instagram, and the socials,
and all the things that are telling you what you might want
because of what everyone else is doing.
Be really clear, be really clear about what it is you want,
so that you look at those steps, those action steps,
and you are not paralyzed or discouraged.
Ideally, if this is something you want really bad,
or enough that it gives you some purpose,
the action steps might look a little challenging to you,
and probably be a little bit confusing
and you're not sure how you're gonna do it,
however, you're gonna feel a little bit more excited
and activated by those steps than you are to be sad
or depressed, or paralyzed.
If you're looking at these action steps and thinking,
uh, this just sounds like a big nightmare,
then that goal probably actually isn't for you.
And you can recognize that, and that's great,
scratch it off, get it out of here, get it out of the way.
You can now tell yourself, like, oh great,
I just admire other people that are doing that,
I don't actually want that for myself.
That is fine, great for you to get clear on that now.
No one else is gonna clear that up
for you except for you, okay?
When I said I wanted you to write these steps down,
when I said you need to have an action plan,
and I call mine The Boss Life Action Plan, I meant it.
I want you to either take your journal,
take your piece of paper, your napkin,
your pen, whatever it is.
I actually have a downloadable
if you would prefer to use that.
And this is The Boss Life Action Plan,
writing out where do you want to go,
where are you now, and what are those steps in-between?
On my take-away sheet, I left you space for a few goals
but remember, stay focused in what you want for yourself.
Maybe all of those goals can happen over time.
Maybe some of them will get your attention right now.
Maybe only one of them will get your attention right now.
Maybe you only want one thing right now, that's okay.
The blanks do not have to be filled
just because they are there.
Just because the future exists,
doesn't mean you have to use it.
But I do recommend you get this stuff
out of your head and into real life.
And either this little download,
or a piece of paper that you do this on,
I don't care what it is, if it works for you,
it is all you need to get started.
Check out the link to where you can get my
Boss Life Action Plan in the description below.
I would love for you to check it out and use it, please.
Now don't forget just because you have a plan
doesn't mean that anything is going to happen for you.
It's gonna give you a lot of clarity,
it's gonna give you a lot of next steps.
But steps need to be taken, action needs to be taken.
So now combine some of the other things
we've talked around here about.
Like calendar blocking, and being productive with your time.
You now have a list of potentially priorities for you,
based on what you want, and things that you should do
in order to make them happen.
And these are the types of things
that you now need to schedule into your life.
If one of your goals is to lose 25 pounds,
then how are you scheduling your workouts,
based on the action steps that you put into your list?
Or your diet plan, or any of those things,
grocery shopping, planning your diet,
all those things you left in that column.
What are the times that you need to put
on your calendar to make it happen?
If you wanna start a business from a side hustle,
and maybe you've gotten a little bit of a place
with your side hustle, but you're not quite there yet
with making enough money.
What are those steps you need to take?
How are you scheduling that into your life?
The calendar blocking and productivity things we talk about
in other videos are gonna help you tremendously
with taking something like this
and actually going somewhere with it.
I'm so excited for you to get activated around your goals
right now, do not waste any time.
I know you're planning for a big week ahead of you,
and maybe this can now be a part of it.
How can it be a part of it?
Get started on it right away.
And now I want you to share in the comments below,
not one of your goals, you can keep those to yourself.
But I want you to share an action step.
I want you to share an action step you're going to take
this week to get started toward one of your goals.
Leave that in the comments below.
That's all for today socials.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I appreciate it as always.
Make sure you subscribe for good vibes
and remember to continue to go after
the life that you want, cheers.
