How Becoming Conscious to Your Goals can Achieve Remarkable Results

Welcome to episode 106 with myself, Dawn McGruer, the Business Growth Coach. In this episode, we're going to be talking about conscious goals, achieving remarkable results. This deep dive into the power of being conscious of your goals and how creating stretch goals can lead to achieving results that you never dreamed of could change the whole outlook on how you approach your life and business. Being conscious of your goals means that more than just setting them, it means aligning your thoughts, actions, and beliefs with your desired outcome.

So it's a very different process than just thinking about the goal, okay? This is about living and breathing it and really understanding what it means to you and how you'll achieve it. It's about being aware of the intentions behind your goals and truly understanding the impact that they can have on your life. Being conscious of your goals is key to unlocking your full potential, and this is something I talk a lot about.

So when you're truly aware of what you want to achieve and why it matters to you, it ignites a fire within you, propelling you towards success. It's like having a roadmap that guides your actions and keeps you focused. So it's important to really take the time to reflect on those goals. If you think about it, if you understand why they are significant to you personally, then we start to think differently.

This self-awareness is what actually drives motivation and determination. So let's not forget about the power of stretch goals. If you've ever heard of this terminology, you'll know the power of them. But these are goals that push you outside of your comfort zones, and they really challenge us to achieve more than we initially thought was ever, ever possible.

So they have a remarkable impact on our growth and our development. And when you stretch goals or you create goals, you open yourself up to these new, exciting possibilities and expand your horizons tenfold. So it's these moments of discomfort and pushing out of our limits that we truly discover our untapped potential. So stretch goals provide an opportunity for this innovation and creativity inside us.

And when we challenge ourselves to achieve something beyond our current capabilities, we're forced to think outside the box and explore new strategies and approaches. So this can lead to breakthroughs and results that surpass our wildest dreams. And that's it. Stretch goals are this catalyst.

Catalyst for personal and professional and business growth. They challenge us to go beyond what we thought was achievable and tap into our innate abilities and talents. Think about the role of this in mindset. Being conscious of our goals and setting stretch goals requires a growth mindset, which is the belief that your abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work.

So with this mindset, you are more resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks, and you continue to persevere until you achieve your desired results. So the power of mindset cannot be overstated when we think about this. When we believe in ourselves and our own abilities, we become unstoppable in our pursuit of goals. This is something that I see literally within days of my clients when they start the 100K in 90 days challenge.

As you can imagine, that's a pretty inspirational, pretty audacious goal to go for. And regardless what stage of your business, to actually think about adding £100,000 over that short period of time is quite mind-boggling. But this is about the power of these audacious goals and becoming conscious of them, because what actually happens is when we are dealing with the actions and we're breaking that huge goal down into daily bite-sized chunks, then it becomes almost achievable. And what we do with the challenge is it's like a roadmap, and it lays out each and every action for every single day of the 90 days that's going to take you one step closer and another step closer.

And the thing is, is because we change our focus and we're zoned in on this goal, it's amazing how quickly, like literally within one or two days, the results start coming in, but not just slowly. It's fast, and they start to cause a ripple effect. And what happens is, is that the more that we actually look at the goal, if you think about the phrase a goal. All without a plan is just a wish.

All we're doing with the challenge is actually mapping out the entire strategy and breaking that down into bite-sized chunks. So people's perceptions change. And yes, you will always have a mindset where you start to get the mind monkeys and you start to falter and you start to think, Oh my goodness, is this actually possible? But when you reframe it, what's playing tricks on us is that we know that we're achieving goals and we're achieving the results and we're getting a step closer and we're pulling money in and we're getting new clients and we're reducing costs and we're doing all of the amazing things within the challenge, and we're moving towards that goal.

But because in our head before we were probably a bit sort of reticent or thinking, Well, that's maybe a bit unrealistic. Even if I hit a small chunk of that goal, it would be great. What happens is, is our mind starts to go into, Oh my goodness, we're actually doing this. So of course it's going to cause a little bit of pushback.

But think about when you really, really want something and we really put our soul and efforts in it, then nine times out of ten, we do start to see results. So as we wrap up today's episode, I want to leave you with this important message. Be conscious of your goals. Set stretch goals and believe in your ability to achieve remarkable results.

Now remember, the only limits that exist are the ones that we create in our minds. So the power lies within each one of us to create extraordinary outcomes. And it all starts with being conscious of our goals and daring to dream bigger than ever before. So think about, you know, the insights in today's podcast and think about what your goal is and are you conscious to it?

So remember, be conscious, stretch the goals and watch as you achieve the results beyond your wildest dreams. Because honestly, if you change your focus and you zone in and you put your blinkers on and you really start to align to whatever it is that you want to achieve, then the next step is breaking it down into these bite-sized chunks. Chunks. Okay, so until then, stay focused, stay conscious, and keep striving towards your goals.

And I will see you on the next podcast.

There's lots of different ways that we can help you, and one of the best news, or pieces of news we've got this week is we have the Growth Coach certification, which I'm sure you've heard before if you've listened to the podcast.

But the certification is to become a certified growth coach in as little as 12 weeks. And one of the epic aspects of the program is we've built in three months to certification and a further nine months business accelerator hub, which is unreal because there's nothing like it on the market right now. And it's level six, so it's undergraduate degree level. So you imagine the depth of knowledge that we go into when we talk about neuroscience and the principles behind them and how these can really impact daily habits.
