4. Is it possible? Here we need to look at path to reach your goal. "Am I convinced that it is possible to achieve my goal with these appropriate steps?" The path may be long or difficult. You need to build a strong belief that it is possible to follow path that leads to great success. You need to persist and never give up when it becomes tough.

5. Is outcome desirable? This point analyses outcome itself. "Is goal in harmony with who I am?" Again, this is a congruency issue. Define big reason why of this goal and you will find that what you really want is truly desirable.

There are five basic elements to reach any outcome: you, plan, actions and behaviors, path and outcome itself. The belief you will develop for each element will form a winning belief system that will empower you in achieving anything you really want out of life.

If you're not happy with results you have, consider following questions. First, what else do I have to know, believe or do in order to be more confident? Second, do I have a mentor that can help me for this particular belief? Third, what advice or message would my mentor give to me?

In doing that for each of five core beliefs to attaining any goal, you will build high level of self-confidence.

These winning beliefs will give you more self-esteem and you will soon become unstoppable.

The odds are you are going to make a hash of it. Don’t give in. You are normal. Don’t listen to that critical voice inside your head that says, “It’s no good. I can’t do it. I will never, ever try again”.

Listen instead to powerful, self confirming voice that says, “It’s OK. Remember. Anything that’s worth doing, is worth doing poorly” And laugh and keep going.

So, whether your aim is to give up smoking… diet….. stop drinking……..change your job, learn a language, build a business, whatever it is, accept that you are going to do it poorly at first. Then gradually with practice you will get better and better.

It takes effort to improve yourself. It takes effort to become best sales person in town. It takes effort to build a successful business. It takes effort to lose weight. It takes effort to follow your dream.

But. If you want to improve yourself! ……..If you want to learn a new skill…….. There is only one way to start………..Overcome your need to be right first time and keep practicing.

So whatever you want to do. Whatever you dream of being! Whatever you see yourself doing in five years time. It all starts with making a fool of yourself now. So you might as well get on with it. Go on, go for your dream!

Remember: Anything that’s worth doing, is worth doing poorly.

Good luck
