This is the best method I've used to achieve goals:

Why is it a MUST for you to actually complete 100% of your daily action items?

And by "daily action items" I mean daily activities such as cold calls, responding to LinkedIn DMs, etc.

Because completing 100% of your daily action items will give you CLARITY on whether or not those daily actions will get you to your desired goal.

Let's simplify what I'm talking about through an example.

Let's say you want to make $10,000 in income.

You THINK you need to be on 20 sales calls to generate $10,000. To add to that, you THINK you need to respond to 100 LinkedIn DMs to get 20 sales calls set.

So if you respond to 100 LinkedIn DMs and you DO set 20 sales calls but you only make $8,000 in income, you're $2,000 short EVEN THOUGH you completed the "daily action items" that you THOUGHT would get you to achieve your end-goal ($10,000).

Perhaps your ESTIMATE of 20 sales calls wasn't precise enough.

Instead, maybe you need to be on 25 calls, and respond to 125 LinkedIn DMs to close $10,000.

And you can only figure out if your goals are realistic by doing the DAILY ACTIONS to find out if they will get you to your goals or not.

So if you are NOT doing the daily actions, you'll be even more confused as to how to get to your desired end goal.

Test and repeat, month by month. This is how you get good at achieving goals - you test the input you need to put in to achieve your desired output (outcome).
