Decide the type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins.

Becoming the type of person you want to become — someone who lives by a stronger standard, someone who believes in themselves, someone who can be counted on by the people that matter to them — is about the daily process you follow and not the ultimate product you achieve.

The Process:

1. Decide what you want to achieve.
2. Try different ways of achieving it until you find one that works for you.
3. Do more of what works. Do less of what doesn't.
4. Don't stop doing it until it stops working.
5. Repeat.

It is both this simple and this hard.

Decide who you want to be, and then do that work.

Know what you want.

Follow a trajectory where what you want is a possible outcome.

Build a system to incrementally improve your ability to follow that trajectory.

Trust yourself.

Enjoy the outcomes.

Repeat.

The first step to becoming is to will it

The first step to this formula is to know your outcome, that is, to define precisely what you want. The second step is to take action

Step 1: Know exactly what you want. Have a big vision that is crystal clear.

Step 2: Know exactly what is true. See reality for what it is and accept the honest facts of the situation.

Step 3: Be flexible in the way you close the gap between 1 and 2.

Bold. Rational. Adaptable.

There's a trick to being whatever you want to be in life. It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are.

First, decide who you want to be. This holds at any level — as an individual, as a team, as a community, as a nation. What do you want to stand for? What are your principles and values? Who do you wish to become?

The 2-step process for exceptional results:

1. Spend a little time each day thinking about the highest leverage activity available to you.
2. Spend a little time each day working on it.

Settle on the type of person you want to be and stick to it, whether alone or in company.

first dedicate time each day to becoming the person you need to be, one who is qualified and capable of consistently attracting, creating, and sustaining the levels of success you want.

Here we go. Another step. Small, bold steps. That’s how you change. You must take another step.
