Speaker 1:

Welcome back to another episode of the Live your Extraordinary Life podcast. I'm your host, michelle Rios, and today we're going to talk about a topic close to my heart, and that is making the most of the time we have left in this calendar year 2024. We're midway through the year and while some might be thinking it's too late to actually achieve my goals at this point, I'm here to tell you that is not the case. There's plenty of time to hit those big goals and, yes, even have some fun while doing it. But it does require taking action, and perhaps some of you will even find getting help from either a mentor or coach is going to get you that much further along sooner. So let's delve into this week's episode.

Speaker 1:

First things first, clearly identifying your goal. Did you know that nine out of 10 people don't actually achieve their goals, not because they lack competence or lack talent, but simply because they don't actually know what they want? Think about that for a moment. How can you hit a target if you don't even know what it looks like? Research from the University of California found that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them. So step one is to clearly identify what you want to achieve. Let's get specific. So, for example, instead of saying I want to get fit, how about something like I want to lose 10 pounds by October 31st and I'm going to do that by going to the gym three times a week and eating a lean diet? The clearer your goal, the easier it is to create a plan to achieve it. So here are a few steps to help you when thinking about how do you clarify your goal. Number one reflect on your desires. Take some time to think about what truly matters to you. What is it that you want to do, have or achieve? What are your passions? What excites you? Reflect on your past successes and consider what goals you've already achieved that made you really feel fulfilled. Number two set SMART goals. I know most of you have heard about SMART goals before, making sure that our goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. This framework helps to create clear and realistic goals that you can actually track and achieve. So, again, going back to our example of getting in shape or getting fit, and then transferring that to a more clear goal of I want to lose 10 pounds by October 31st by going to the gym three times a week and eating a balanced diet of lean proteins. If you look at it, it's specific I want to lose 10 pounds. It's measurable. We want to do this by October 31st. It's achievable. This isn't something that's out of the realm of possibilities. It's relevant because it supports your overall health goals and it is time bound. We're looking at doing it by October 31st and there is an action plan of going to the gym three times a week and eating a healthier, leaner diet to support that. So that would be an example of a SMART goal.

Speaker 1:

The third one, and probably my most favorite for clarifying and achieving goals is visualizing your success. Imagine yourself actually achieving your goal A lot of other people talk about act as if I really want you to talk in terms of it's already here. So what does it look like and, more importantly, what does it feel like? Visualization can be a powerful tool in making your goals feel more attainable and, frankly, more real, and your brain starts to act as if it's already here. It does not detect the difference between, if you will, visualization and make believe and reality. We see this with actual athletes who use visualization to see themselves achieving their sports goal, whether it's winning the game and making the winning pass or catch or running long distance or even sprinting or hurdles, and seeing themselves going through the motion in their mind, their body actually doing all of those things the brain fires as if that's actually happening in real time. You can do that with really any goal.

Speaker 1:

I have done it time and time again when I was much younger and climbing up the corporate ladder, I would visualize myself in the corner office wearing the outfit that I wanted to wear as I presented to the teams, when I was out pitching to clients, when I was connecting with CEOs and other leaders who were my clients. I wasn't just somebody in the background, I was at the forefront and I would see myself, even while I was climbing the ladder and hadn't yet achieved that. I was going ahead and going through the visualization process as if it was already here. And that helped a lot because ultimately it did happen and I used that as a springboard for many other things, even the moving into the entrepreneurial space. I spent time visualizing what that would look like, how it would happen, what it would feel like, and it was incredibly helpful because the transition from the corporate world into the entrepreneurial space not that it was completely seamless, because there are steps I had to obviously take, and any change can be challenging.

Speaker 1:

But because I had, if you will, rehearsed it in my mind so many times and acted as if I already was an entrepreneur, I already knew what my days would look like. I already knew what kind of work I would be doing as an entrepreneur coach, podcast host, author, speaker. I saw myself working with people on achieving their goals. I saw myself as a thought leader, out speaking to different groups of people. I saw myself as an established and accomplished writer. So, as I write my book right now that's going to be out later this year or the early part of next year I've already gone through the process of laying the groundwork for success by seeing myself as a published author, as a bestselling author and, I would dare to say, as an international bestselling author.

Speaker 1:

Has it happened yet? No, but I've visualized it so many times. I know what it feels like, and so it's very real to me. It doesn't feel like a stretch, it's definitely in the realm of possibilities. So I challenge you to think about any goal you have and spend time not only visualizing what it looks like, as if you were already having, being or doing that thing that you want to achieve, but also what it feels like the satisfaction and the fulfillment, the freedom. What does it feel like at a cellular level? It's so important because that's embodying the goal. The next step is breaking it down. Large goals can be overwhelming. It's so important because that's embodying the goal. The next step is breaking it down. Large goals can be overwhelming.

Speaker 1:

I can tell you, when I said I'm going to write a book, that was not a smart goal, that was a statement. I needed to go back and say what kind of book? Who would it help? How would I establish my credibility in this space, what stories would I share and how long would it take me to do that and what support would I need to make that happen? I needed to break it down. I did not sit down in one sitting and write the book. In fact, it's taken a bit of time to get clear on what it is that I want to really convey in order to help people. My book happens to be in the genre of personal development not surprising given the podcast and the content that I produce. But I had to break it down myself and really think about how I was going to attack that goal and, frankly, I sought out mentors, people who had already done the thing that I wanted to do, who's written a book, who's been successful at it Not once, not twice, but consistently multiple times, who can guide me through this process with authority and credibility. That helped me tremendously. And then, last but not least, write it down.

Speaker 1:

Once you have clarity in your mind, speak it out loud and write it down. Document your goals. Writing them down makes them tangible and it reinforces your commitment. Keep your goals somewhere visible to remind yourself daily. I have on my mirror in my bathroom best selling author. I have in my bathroom sought after coach, highly successful entrepreneur. I keep all of these things that are goals of mine, that I'm working on, that I am currently in process around, very visually available to me to remind myself what my actions, what my time is invested in doing, so that if I am distracted which we all are and we're going to talk about the role of distraction in our lives vis-a-vis goal setting and achievement in a bit we need to be reminded consistently of what our goals are and we need to keep them front and center as we move through our day. If you're struggling to get clarity in defining your goals. I highly recommend you consider working with a coach either me or another coach because coaching can help you gain that clarity, set the achievable goal and help you develop an action plan, step-by-step plan, to reach that goal. Coaching also provides guidance, mentorship and accountability, which we all need to stay on track.

Speaker 1:

I don't know any coaches in the business today that are entrepreneurs building businesses who do not have their own coach In some cases, several. A business coach, for me a book coach. We seek out those who have gone before us and who have the expertise to guide us, and so don't see it as well. If I can't figure it out on my own, then I guess it wasn't meant to be. No, no, no, no, no. That's not the case. Most people who have achieved big goals, whatever those are, have not done it alone. I would argue. Most organizations, most innovators, creators, authors, coaches, entrepreneurs, business men and women they're not doing it alone. They seek counsel, they seek advice, they seek somebody to keep them accountable, someone to keep them on track, someone to help them gain clarity. So think about that. If that's something that you need, certainly reach out to me. Whether I'm the right fit or not for you, I can help point you in the right direction.

Speaker 1:

The second piece I want to talk to you about, as we look at this mid-year point in 2024, is what has held you back that we are at the midpoint of 2024 and you haven't yet achieved that goal that's in your heart to achieve. I want you to think about that for a minute. Ask yourself, what is it that's held me back? Certainly, lack of clarity is definitely one of those things that holds people back, but oftentimes it's the fear of failing. The fear of failing is a prickly cactus. It ends up being one of those massive roadblocks that we think. Oh, you know, fear has often motivated me in the past, but it can also prevent us from even getting started. Right, how many times has there been a voice in the back of your head saying, well, what if I don't make it? What if I fail? What will people think? What will people say? How will I feel? And we protect ourselves? Right, we don't even want to go through what that will feel like the humiliation, the embarrassment.

Speaker 1:

But here's the thing Failure is part of the process of succeeding. It's actually a necessary part of success, and this was not something I personally bought into for most of my adulthood. It's been in the recent past that I've really come to understand how success plays into sorry, how failure plays into the success process. The reality is when we let fear prevent us from getting started and we say things like oh well, you know it's, it's really because I'm a perfectionist, I'm waiting for the stars to align. No, you're not. You just don't have clarity and you're afraid that if you don't have clear sight and vision, you might fail. So we use the guise of perfectionism to hold us back from even starting, so that we don't have to face criticism from ourselves or for others. And I say this with great authority, because this was the guise on which I operated for many years.

Speaker 1:

Why didn't I succeed as a performer? Well, I never got started and I said well, it wasn't pragmatic in my life. I came from humble beginnings and I needed to pick a much more pragmatic career field in order to sort of break that cycle of poverty that my family experienced. And having a starving artist or performer was not going to work. In reality, I didn't have enough conviction and I did not believe a hundred percent that I could make it, and so I let fear hold me back from trying, under the guise of it's not the right fit for me. It ended up having many repercussions down the road, of which I'll talk about in the book.

Speaker 1:

But I want you to be thinking about where, in your own life, the guys of perfectionism has really hidden the reality of your fear of failure and kept you from moving forward with your goals, because, I'm going to venture to say, it's probably more often than you realize. So why are we all so afraid to fail? There are actually several very logical reasons, of which I want to go through One fear of judgment. We worry incessantly about what others will think if we fail. This fear can paralyze us and keep us from actually taking risks. We imagine the disappointment in the eyes of our loved ones or our friends, and or the ridicule from our peers, which can often be worse, right?

Speaker 1:

Number two fear of the unknown. Stepping into uncharted territory is intimidating. We'd prefer to stay on the safety of the shore, on what is familiar, even if it means we don't move forward. So we allow ourselves to daydream, but we don't take action. How often has that been the case for you? Because you don't know how to get from point A to point B. The unknown can be a very dark and scary place in our minds and that often amplifies worst case scenarios. What if I take this leap and I end up in a worse situation than the one I find myself in right now? How often has that played out in your mind? Be honest with yourself.

Speaker 1:

Certainly, particularly in my earlier days, was the case for me. I didn't know how I was going to get something done and the funny thing is that wasn't across the board. I was achieving some really big things that required taking risks, that required going into the unknown, but for whatever reason, certain goals I thought well, that's in my realm of possibility. I can do that, particularly anything academic. Even if it meant me going across the pond into Europe or across the world and living in another country and speaking a foreign language and going to graduate school completely in a different foreign language that I hadn't yet mastered, that didn't intimidate me. But maybe getting on stage or doing an open mic night when I had already had years of performance experience doing that and pursuing the goal of performance, or even being a writer when I was younger I felt like, oh, total imposter syndrome and I'm going to be called out as a fraud, but I was willing to go across the world and speak another language that I had not yet mastered and do school. That was going to have repercussions on my future ability in terms of my graduate degree and I had scholarships at stake. That didn't bother me whatsoever.

Speaker 1:

I think a lot of people would have been like what I'd much rather do a open mic night than what you're pulling off. It seems like the stakes are much lower, but we all have these funny inconsistencies what might seem super scary and overwhelming for one person is not the same thing for another person, and that's okay. Fear of the unknown is just that. For you, it could be something completely different, the point being, it's unknown, and so we don't even venture out toward whatever it is that we're interested in. We just keep stuck in this sort of daydream space.

Speaker 1:

Perfectionism, again. I talked about this already, but this is a huge one, and I think a lot of us who grew up in an environment that really emphasized security and safety coloring inside the lines, if you will this is a big one for a lot of us who went through that, because we don't want to make a mistake. So we set unrealistically high standards and we fear that we're going to fall short, and this often leads to procrastination or complete inaction. Ask yourself has perfectionism gotten in the way either earlier in your life or even now? It certainly has. For me, I tend to be plagued with that. Even now I can sit down and someone can give me a topic that they want to write about and simply with the topic I can, on my feet, go ahead and, at the top of my head, create an outline pretty quickly on the different topic points they could potentially talk about, and that's usually fairly poignant.

Speaker 1:

Now take one of my own chapters of a topic I know really well, which is this whole living an extraordinary life and having now worked on the principles for many years on what has allowed me to achieve success, I get hung up myself on my own stuff around this, and a lot of it is on this perfectionism. I want to get it right. I got to get it right. The first time Is what I'm saying in my mind and what's being written on the page as clear as it possibly could be oh, no, okay, let's hold back until we get it perfect, which is terrible, because that procrastination prevents me from actually moving the needle. So I've had to force myself as a coach to say write it down as it is, as messy in your mind as you think it is, because we can clarify it as we go. But not writing it at all, not taking action, procrastinating, is actually making it worse. So ask yourself where has perfectionism in the form of procrastination or inaction popped up in your life?

Speaker 1:

Okay, four past experiences, previous failures, can help, can really hinder us from making progress against our goals. You know, if you remember the pain of a past disappointment, it might cause you to shy away from even taking a risk of that caliber. Our past experiences can cast very long shadows over our current ambitions and we need to really examine are the conditions under which the previous quote unquote failure? I'm going to talk about this in a moment because I actually don't think what we call failures are true failures, failures when you give up and you do not move forward. To me, these may be, if anything, indicators of something that doesn't work right. It's research, this is information that you're gathering. Okay, that didn't work, time to pivot. But these past experiences where something didn't work out for us and it caused pain, it wounded us, can really get in the way of going after our current ambitions. So ask yourself are the conditions under which that past experience, under which it played out? Are the conditions the same? You're certainly not the same person. If it's in the past, you've evolved, you're smarter, you know yourself better. Even if you lack clarity, even if you don't know the how, you are still here, still going, that makes you stronger than you were before. So even that level of discrete distinction should be something you put on the table, as maybe those past experiences. I need to just put those on hold as just the past. They're not an indication of what's going to happen right now in the current scenario.

Speaker 1:

And the last area, number five of things that really hold us back. What we're so afraid of around fear, lack of confidence. It's amazing to me that some of the most brilliant, accomplished, highly successful people, from a traditional standpoint, suffer from self-doubt. So many of us do. We're plagued with self-doubt, and it can be crippling. It can prevent us from taking the first step. Confidence, though, is only built through taking action. So here's the thing you can't stay stuck in your head thinking, well, maybe tomorrow I'll feel more confident than I did yesterday or today. The only way to build confidence is by taking action, at the risk of quote unquote failing. So you have to be willing to put your toe in the water and move forward with some action that gets you closer. Even if it's one inch closer, that's forward momentum. So don't let lack of confidence hold you back and recognize that so many people, so many very accomplished people from the past and current history, have suffered from self-doubt, and it is something that you need to as, in terms of self-mastery and personal development, work on by taking action. So let's explore these fears in a little more detail.

Speaker 1:

Fear of judgment is really rooted in our social nature right. We seek acceptance and validation from those who are around us, and failure can feel like a real threat to our social standing. You might not even think about it that way, but our need to belong and if you've ever read any of Brene Brown's work, you know of this Our need to belong can often get in the way of us showing up authentically. We can actually get ourselves lost by our need to belong. We can often not take risks and not move forward because we're afraid of what will happen if we go ahead and take the risk and take a step forward and people criticize us or ridicule us. Where will we be left standing if that happens. So imagine. I just want to give you an example. Imagine you want to start a business, but you fear what your friends and family will think if that business doesn't succeed. This fear can be so overwhelming that you actually never take the first step and, as a result, you never know what you could have achieved. It remains an idea, a distant dream.

Speaker 1:

Fear of the unknown we talked about this earlier creates this unknown. Is this inherently, is inherently scary? The unknown is inherently scary because it's unpredictable. Our brains are wired to seek out patterns and familiarity to keep us safe. Right, we talk a lot about the Neanderthal brain in sense that, yeah, there's a part of our brains that was developed in order to keep us safe from the saber-toothed tigers. Right, but that's not our reality anymore. But the unknown disrupts our need for security and this fear of the unknown can prevent us from even exploring new opportunities and stepping out of comfort zones.

Speaker 1:

So think about that, because the more we allow fear of the unknown, fear of judgment, any of these things to hold us back, the less likely we are to actually achieve any of our goals, which I think we all know leads to regret, which, I think, at the end of time, far outweighs, far outweighs the risk of taking a chance and taking a leap of faith. Regret is a terrible thing to sit with, and as we age and we sit with it, you realize, like what could have happened. Why didn't I just, oh, if I only had taken that step. Don't let that be you. All right. We talked about fear of belonging, fear of judgment sorry and fear of the unknown.

Speaker 1:

Perfectionism, again the idea that perfectionism can be really paralyzing as well, because we're afraid we're not going to be able to meet these high standards we set for ourselves. And if we can't meet those standards, why even bother trying? Perfectionism, though, is often driven by a desire for approval and a fear of criticism. So think about this, for an example. This hits close to home, but here's an example. An aspiring writer might never publish their work. They might spend years writing and never publish their work because they're waiting for it to be perfect. This pursuit of perfection keeps us from sharing our voices and, potentially, making an impact. Don't let this be you.

Speaker 1:

Past experiences, our past experiences. I talked about this casting of a long shadow over our current ambitions. If we've experienced failure before, that memory of the pain is real, but it's a memory. What happens, though, is those memories make us become risk adverse. We fear that history will repeat itself. I see this a lot in the dating realm with friends, people I love very much, but someone who's experienced a failed relationship or a failed marriage I see this in the dating realm a lot with friends and family. Someone who's experienced a failed relationship or a failed marriage I see this in the dating realm a lot with friends and family. Someone who's experienced a failed relationship, possibly even a marriage, might fear even getting out there and dating again. The pain of the past failure can make us hesitant to even open up to the new possibility, keeping us from finding new love and new fulfillment and happiness.

Speaker 1:

Lack of confidence Self-doubt can be a powerful inhibitor. When we lack confidence in our abilities, we're less likely to take risks and pursue our goals, and this lack of confidence can stem from negative self-talk and a focus on our perceived shortcomings. I want to share this example because this is actually someone I know. A talented musician might doubt their skills and fear performing in public. So then this lack of confidence keeps them from sharing their talent and pursuing their passion and from ever publishing that song or getting that hit record or becoming that standup comic, whatever the case may be. So they simply silent their own voice.

Speaker 1:

Now there have been many people over history that have come to the same conclusion that we're coming to as well that really fear of failure really needs to be something that we tackle, because failure, again, we need to redefine it. Failure isn't truly failure, it's just information of what doesn't work. We need to think about failure as an inherent part of succeeding and really turn it on its head If we stop thinking about failure is not an option something I certainly was ingratiated with as a kid because it was part of the times, I think, and also I think socioeconomically, when you have a very, you grow up with lack or scarcity, there's a fear of you've got to protect yourself. So you know you don't even want failure to be an option. The reality is it's absolutely necessary.

Speaker 1:

Here are just a few well-known figures who emphasize the importance of failure as part of the process. Thomas Edison you've probably heard this quote before I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Edison's persistence and his view of failure as a learning process were the keys to his success. Michael Jordan I love this one by Michael Jordan. He says I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games and 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and I missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. Jordan's acceptance of failure as part of the journey made him one of the greatest athletes of all time. But how many people actually think like Jordan? This is a relatively new way of thinking for me, probably over the last five to ten years. How about you?

Speaker 1:

Jk Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, is quoted as saying it is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you fail by default. Rowling's early failures did not deter her from creating one of the most beloved book series of all time. So people who never fail are like playing it so safe they don't make any moves, claiming they're perfectionists and waiting for the stars to align. Sit back for a minute and let that sit in. Does this describe you? It certainly describes an earlier version of me, and it's important for me to own that, because that provides the contrast of where I am today and what I've worked so hard to overcome.

Speaker 1:

Fear held me back. It held me back from doing a lot of things I wanted to do and I suppressed them earlier in my life, thinking well, I don't know how to get there, I don't know that I can be good at it, I might fail, so why put myself out there for criticism and ridicule and possibly being judged to the point of being excluded and not belonging? I'll just do this other thing, fill in the blank For me it was climb the corporate ladder that I think actually could be really good at without failing. The reality is it was a safer route on some level, at least to my brain. In reality it was damn hard. I spent more than 25 years closer to 31, busting my you-know-what, doing work that was really hard and very stressful, incredibly challenging and wasn't 100% aligned, but I made it work. I made it fit. I certainly learned a lot and I don't regret the path because it was my path.

Speaker 1:

But the reality is, if I had had the ability to step beyond the fear and take a risk at those things that were in my heart to do years ago and I had a little more conviction and faith. Who knows where I would be today. We have to look at our past as lessons and make a decision on how we're going to show up today. That's the reality. So I want you to think about and consider what is the risk of not getting started on your goal right now, at the midway point of 2024? What if you don't achieve that goal this calendar year? How are you going to feel about yourself and your life if you don't achieve that goal this calendar year? How are you going to feel about yourself and your life if you put it off for one more year? Procrastination is the thief of time and delaying action only leads to regret. So failure is not the opposite of success. It is an inherent part of the process and we need to embrace that. Each failure teaches us valuable lessons and brings us one step closer to our goals. So embrace failure as a teacher, not an enemy.

Speaker 1:

Coaching can help you move beyond this fear. A coach can help you see and remove internal blocks that you might not even be aware of, giving you the confidence and support to take steps to keep moving you forward toward your goals. Certainly, the coaches in my life have helped me reframe my mindset and view failure as an opportunity for growth beyond what I had even imagined possible for myself in an earlier time. So I ask you what are you waiting for? The time to act is now. If you lack clarity or you don't even know where to start, coaching might be for you. Seek out a coach or mentor to help you gain clarity, set achievable goals and develop a step-by-step action plan to reach them. Coaches and mentors provide the guidance and accountability we all need to stay on track and remember no one who has ever achieved anything meaningful in this lifetime has ever done it alone. Even the most successful people have advisors, coaches, mentors and support systems. So if you're ready to take the next step and make the rest of 2024 amazing, reach out to me and let's discuss coaching. Let's create your extraordinary life one goal at a time. So, as I wrap this episode, I want you to remember it's never too late to set and achieve big goals by clearly identifying what you want and moving beyond the fear of failing. Clearly identifying what you want and moving beyond the fear of failing. Taking action and taking action, you can still make 2024 an extraordinary year.

Speaker 1:

I want to thank you for coming and tuning into the Live your Extraordinary Life podcast. You are what has made the show the top 1% globally, and I just want to take a moment and thank you for that. You know, a little more than a year ago, this was just an idea and we launched in January of 2023 with no real previous experience. It was the first podcast I'd ever done. I was doing a lot of this on my own, with the help of advisors, but, from a technical standpoint, a lot of it on my own, and in a very short amount of time, this podcast has soared and, if you think about, there are more than three and a half million podcasts in the world today and this podcast is in the top 1%.

Speaker 1:

Now, there's still work to be done. For sure, I am certainly grateful to be in the top 30,000 or so, but my goal is to take the show as far as we can. I'd love to be in the top 10 in personal development and self-help one day, because I know the work that we're doing is making people take risks, go after their dreams. It's changing lives, and that's what this is all about. We should not be settling for the ordinary when you were meant to live an extraordinary life. So thank you again for tuning in. Thank you for making the show the success that it is, and if you're ready to take the next step, reach out to me and let's talk about coaching. Let's make the rest of 2024 amazing together. Thank you.
