Non Fluff Goal Training

I was recently quoted as saying, “If you look upline for a training system that works and everyone you talk to is focused on personal development stuff; they’re not in the trenches – so you’ll have to create your own training system.”

Yep, I said that.

And I still say that. Some people misrepresented my meaning. I never said GOALS and how to achieve them wasn’t important. Goals are everything. Without them, Earth as we know it wouldn’t exist. What I was referring to was that when a trainer doesn’t know what to do to produce consistent results or how to train that which produces consistent results, the trainers often use inspiration instead of training. They’ll use phrases like:

“Just do it.”

“If you want it bad enough, you will do whatever it takes.”

“Pretend your baby girl is hanging off a cliff about to fall to her death. She will be saved only if you find 3 new distributors before the 30th of the month. Would you find the 3 distributors?”

“What the mind can conceive, the body will achieve and beyond.”

When Inspiration Is Valuable

There have been times when phrases such as those have been valuable to my mentor. The last phrase mentioned was printed on the t-shirts of all the men struggling through the U.S. Navy dive school with my mentor. There were times when he couldn’t imagine running another foot, or swimming another stroke, and then he would look at the guy in front of him and read his t-shirt “What the mind can conceive the body will achieve and beyond.” He would muster up a little more courage to complete that foot! So that statement was (and still is) valuable to him.

Inspiration Doesn’t Take the Place of Training

Having to push himself to run or swim another mile (or ten) didn’t require a new knowledge. It required continuing to use the knowledge he had already been trained to do. That is where inspiration comes in. But inspiration meant to supplant* training doesn’t work. If he didn’t know how to swim and instead of teaching him how to swim, you said, “Just do it.” That would be of no help to him whatsoever – especially if you continually watched him struggling!

With that fully understood, being able to:

• Correctly set a goal (so you don’t chase something you don’t really want)
• Correctly plan for that goal
• Correctly break that plan into projects
• Correctly break those projects into tasks
• Correctly reorganize your life so that you actually do those tasks

…determines whether you float through life like a jellyfish (which has no ability to propel itself) totally dependent on the currents of the water – or YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT and get it.

Training Helps You Achieve Time & Again

Then, you decide on another thing you want and get that. And decide on another thing you want, and get that too.

You repeat that cycle over and over getting the things you want.

After that, keep doing the cycle, but now stretch your goal a little further outside of yourself and help other people and the environment.

That is how you too will be one who made Earth a better place.

You are as valuable to Earth as you contribute to it. Otherwise, you are a liability to Earth.
