Are you tired of getting marketing messages with an offer to help you solve this issue in your life or improve that area of your life. And the problem is all of the offers seem irresistible because they are crafted so well as they speak to this issue or problem in your life and seemingly provide this oasis of a solution for you. Well, if you’re not careful, you could easily fall into a trap known as the shiny object syndrome, where you end up hopping from one solution to the next thinking it solve that very critical issue in your life.
Today, I’m going to tell you the one thing you can do avoid the shiny object syndrome trap. All you have to do is get clarity on your “PVG” and filter every decision through them. Your PVG is your Purpose, Vision and Goals. Once you have clarity on your Purpose, your reason for being, and you have clarity on your Vision, which is how you will fulfill your Purpose, and you have clarity on your Goals which are all of the incremental steps you need to take now to realize your vision and fulfill you purpose, these 3 things, your PVG, will NOW serve as a guide rail to keep you on track for what matters most.
So, the next time you’re presented with a marketing message and an offer, all you have to do is verify it aligns with your PVG and if it does, then you can say YES to the offer but if it doesn’t you can say No. That’s why the Bible says write the vision and make it plain, making it plain, brings clarity to your PVG and serves as a compass to your decisions.
Have you ever attended a conference, got all excited about the knowledge you acquired, but then a month or year later, you look back and realized you didn’t grow from that impactful conference? Well, here’s a quick tip I learned from one of my mentors that will ensure you never experience that again. It’s called the ACT Method To Maximize Growth.
The ACT Method To Maximize Personal Growth
Within this method, each letter in ACT forms an acronym of the 3 things you should always do after attending an impactful conference or seminar
(A) Make a note of what applies from what you just learned that you should keep reinforcing in your life, that’s the A;
(C) Note what you need to change in your life from what you just learned that’s the C; And
(T) Make note of who you need to teach what you just learned;
If you will do this within 72 hours of attending an event, then weeks or months later, you’ll experience the transformation you expected.
Ever wondered how to overcome setbacks in life, so you can crush it in your field of expertise like Jordan did in the NBA? Today, I’ll share my third and final tip to do just that by using the law of Modeling.
Tip #3 – The Law of Modeling
Peak performers like Jordan always surrounded themselves with mentors that had been down the path that he was headed. Why? Because it’s hard to improve and grow if you’ve got no one, but yourself to follow. That’s why I’ve invested over six figures working with mentors who’ve helped me experience a 7-figure financial comeback before. Working with mentors gave me the confidence to know that my greatest asset isn’t my professional licenses or what’s in my bank account. It’s what’s in between my two ears. And that’s why I’ll continue to invest in my mentors, so I just don’t experience a 7-figure financial comeback this time, but that I get to experience an 8 or 9 figure growth spurt. As you advance towards your goals, if you’ll lean into the law of Modeling, you’ll overcome every setback.
Have you ever wondered why the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, yet advancing towards your goals never seems to take a straight line. If anything, it’s filled with setbacks. Today, I’ll share the second of three tips to overcome those setbacks by understanding the law of Pain.
Tip #2 – The Law of Pain
My Pastor, Jentezen Franklin, taught me that your setbacks don’t have to be final. John Maxwell taught me that I can actually fail forward. Failing forward is about having the right perspective. And when you have that, you can look at the pain from setbacks in life, as setups, for your comeback. Experiencing a 7-figure financial setback and surrendering my dreams for my future for God’s dream for my future, has simply set me up for a 7-figure financial comeback and positioned me to mentor and coach others. As you advance towards your goals, if you’ll lean into the law of Pain, you’ll overcome every setback.
Ever feel like you always seem to run into setbacks as you advance towards your goals? Today, I’ll share the first of three tips to overcome those setbacks.
Tip #1 – The Law Of Awareness
First tip is understanding the law of Awareness. In 2008, I became one of the youngest advisors in the financial services industry to become financially independent, just 5 years after overcoming setbacks that led to a bankruptcy filing. In college, my car tag read “Know Thyself,” which you have to do, in order to grow thyself.
In 2018, after reflecting on two major business betrayals that led to a 7-figure financial loss as a victim of a Ponzi scheme, clients of mine also suffering losses, The SEC holding me responsible for both me and my client’s losses, which led to losing a few professional licenses, my business and reputation in the industry, it was this law of awareness that would teach me that I had built so strong a false identity and sense of self-worth around my past business and financial achievements and professional licenses, that they had become like idols to me.
In God’s mercy, he allowed my business to be destroyed so he could resurrect it, His way. (60 seconds) Now, as I watch the resurrection, this same law is teaching me that not tapping into my imaginative power is the only real limitation in designing the life and business he’d always dreamed of for me. As you advance towards your goals, if you’ll lean into the law of awareness, you’ll overcome every setback.
