Hello everyone and welcome to ideas for

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.519
just below, under the play button
and now let' s talk about how

18
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:34.840
to unlock your full potential. There
are many people who feel that they are

19
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:40.000
not reaching their full potential. It' s like you' re at Christmas,

20
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.879
the opening day of presents. You' re surrounded by gifts for opening

21
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.760
and for some reason you don'
t feel able to unwrap them. In

22
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.239
the end. That' s what
happens. The gifts in that metaphor are

23
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.439
your gifts, they' re your
talents. Life has given them to you

24
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.879
And when you feel that you are
not reaching your maximum power, it is

25
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.560
because you are not able to carry
out those gifts that life as generous as

26
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.719
it has always given you. Why
this happens, why we don' t

27
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.919
see every day as an opportunity to
unleash all that potential. Why don'

28
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:19.560
t we consider that every year has
to be a little better than the year

29
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.840
before. To begin with, because
we lack clarity. Potential is a vague

30
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.479
concept. The potential is a little
defined concept and when we have something that

31
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:38.039
is not clearly defined, that we
cannot see clearly, we have to translate

32
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.199
it into objectives. And this is
going to be the key word for this

33
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:47.599
episode. Objectives? Why? Because
the objectives help us to realize our potential,

34
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.319
help us to guide ourselves, help
us measure our progress, help us

35
00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.800
to stay motivated also by transforming that
potential, which is neobulous. When we

36
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.400
turn it into specific targets, when
we land it, that' s when

37
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.240
we unleash the magic. So that' s when the achievements come or,

38
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.560
at least, they can start coming. Potential by itself is nothing without objectives.

39
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.639
It means absolutely nothing. If you
don' t know where you'

40
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.400
re going, I don' t
care if you have all the potential in

41
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:29.759
the world. The aimless potential is
absolutely useless. The problem with the objectives

42
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:35.080
is that, as human beings,
we tend to underestimate what we can achieve

43
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.639
within five years, for example,
in the long term and, on the

44
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:46.400
other hand, we overestimate what we
can do in the short term and a

45
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.080
year seems like a lot of time, but it flies by. So we

46
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.680
think we can do it all in
a three- month period and that'

47
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.879
s why we signed up for the
gym in March so we can be okay

48
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.039
in June and, instead, his
dress- up we can do in a

49
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:08.400
longer period. So, instead of
filling out your list of purposes or objectives

50
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.879
only in the New Year by January
15th, you no longer remember any and

51
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.680
do not fulfill any or abandon them. As soon as you give the first

52
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.319
trip, you have to think long
term. You have to think like companies

53
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.879
in one period I told you the
other day of one of three out of

54
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.800
five out of ten years, but
it doesn' t make sense to mark

55
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.959
without goal, that it takes less
than that time why, because it'

56
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.399
s not going to be an interesting
goal and rather seems like a task.

57
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.240
The tasks and that are short term. The objectives must be long- term.

58
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.399
Another problem is how we set those
goals. Most people have goals that

59
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:56.240
are very vague, very ethereal,
that cannot be connected to daily reality.

60
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.720
Other problems that have many goals,
but those that have no matter how few

61
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:08.199
or many. The problem that are
little concrete, that are difficult to measure,

62
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.800
difficult to connect with our daily reality. For example, people usually aim

63
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:18.720
to lose weight, well, lose
weight, but how much weight? Exactly

64
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.560
how is that weight loss going to
be distributed week by week? How you

65
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:28.240
' re going to track your progress. Other people want to write a book,

66
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.759
but they do not break that goal
down into concrete and achievable steps.

67
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:39.439
How many words you' re going
to write today, how many pages you

68
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.920
' re going to do today to
be able to write a book, and

69
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.160
that' s why the goals don' t pass. That is why we

70
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.680
do not meet objectives, because we
do not break them down into tasks.

71
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.920
We treat goal setting as an annual
thing and it should be a continuous process.

72
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.759
If you don' t have a
task to accomplish against a goal every

73
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.519
day you won' t meet that
goal. So, to move the needle,

74
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:13.079
you need a different approach. You
need specific objectives measurable, few goals

75
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:20.040
focused on the few priorities you have
in life. You need to review those

76
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:26.480
targets regularly to see how you'
re meeting them, how your progress against

77
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.639
that goal is evolving. And above
all, you need those goals to be

78
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:38.199
aligned with your values, your passions, your talents and your purpose. And,

79
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.680
once you have this, all you
need to do is adopt positive habits

80
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:48.000
and behaviors every day that will help
you do things, tasks that will help

81
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:56.720
you complete, those tasks that will
enable you to fulfill your goals. The

82
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:01.800
good thing about having a target is
that it helps you filter distractions. It

83
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:09.079
focuses on what really matters. That' s why when you have targets,

84
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:13.720
every time you come up with something
new, every time they come up with

85
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.120
a plan that wasn' t on
the radar. Since you have those goals,

86
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.959
what you do is you ask yourself
this is aligned with what I want

87
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.680
to achieve, yes or no.
It gets me closer to what I want

88
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.079
to get or it gets me away, yes or no. And if it

89
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.199
doesn' t get close to you
and if it' s not aligned,

90
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.279
the answer is a don' t
see. It' s very simple.

91
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:38.920
Actually, having concrete, measurable,
specific goals makes your life very simple,

92
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.600
because it allows you to make decisions
very quickly. They invite you to play

93
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:49.439
a football game or have a few
beers, and that doesn' t bring

94
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.120
you closer to the goals you have. You know. What you have to

95
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:59.360
answer is that there is no doubt, it makes everything very easy. Then

96
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.600
how it brings those targets to life. How we make it achievable, then,

97
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.040
by dividing that target into more manageable
time blocks, let' s say

98
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.000
you have a five- year goal, because what I' m asking you

99
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.480
to do is divide it into a
three- month period, because five years

100
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.800
a year doesn' t matter to
me. It seems very long to us,

101
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.279
it seems impossible, but commit yourself
to three months of effort. That

102
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.720
' s much more digestible. Three
months of effort won' t kill you

103
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.159
and your body knows it, so
your resistance is going to be much less.

104
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.600
And this strategy doesn' t just
make the goal more manageable, it

105
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.360
also allows you to review what you' re doing, that is, how

106
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.200
you' re going against that goal
after three months and allows you to adjust

107
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.679
if the progress you' ve had
hasn' t been the one you wanted

108
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.679
to have or the one you have
to have to meet the goal by that

109
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.679
date. It allows you total flexibility
to adapt. If you have a change

110
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.720
of circumstances, it allows you to
correct the course so that you can reach

111
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.440
the end of the same place.
What is the secret, because identify what

112
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.519
are those two or three key actions
for each ninety- day period. This

113
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.600
is absolutely essential to be able to
focus your energy, to be able to

114
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:30.960
focus your resources effectively. When you
prioritize these two or three key actions,

115
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.279
you make sure that you are working
in those areas that really impact your path

116
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.279
to success, so don' t
disperse efforts you go straight to the point.

117
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:50.600
Of course, when you' re
faced with a task, there'

118
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.919
s usually internal resistance. Right,
this happens to all of us. The

119
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.399
human body tends to the horizontal position
and that is a reality. But that

120
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.840
' s the time when you have
to show your perseverance and your determination and

121
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:11.919
how we can do it, because
one possible way is to reflect on those

122
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.399
moments of the past, in which
you felt successful, in which you felt

123
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.919
satisfaction. Make a list of those
achievements, which made you feel good in

124
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.399
the past, which made you feel
powerful or powerful, which made you feel

125
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.799
ready to conquer the world, which
made you feel like you ate the world.

126
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:35.840
When you remember those experiences, you' re reconnecting with your inner strength,

127
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.639
you' re gaining motivation. Remember
why it' s so important to

128
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.799
pursue your dreams? You remember why
you want to do what you want to

129
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:54.159
do. Another thing you can do
is maintain simplicity, minimalism when setting tasks.

130
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.279
It is also important not to complicate
your agenda with unnecessary activities, tasks

131
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:09.639
that discourage you, etcetera. Simplify
and focus on the essential tasks to achieve

132
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.279
your goals. Few tasks, but
very important. Remember the law of the

133
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:22.440
eighty- twenties. Really twenty percent
of your shares are the ones that give

134
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.399
eighty percent of the results to you
all over the world. Then focus on

135
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.240
that 20% on making it perfect. And you don' t want to

136
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.440
do everything, because it' s
absolutely impossible for you to do it,

137
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.720
and in the end you end up
exhausted and getting nothing. This will help

138
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.960
you conserve your energy and it will
also help you maintain a constant level of

139
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.440
motivation, because you don' t
get distracted by keeping your eye on what

140
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.639
matters, in the prize, in
what you want to get at the end

141
00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:01.480
of the way. And another possibility
is that it is creative or creative,

142
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.639
that you add a certain level of
surprise to your daily life, that you

143
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.279
experience new ways of doing things,
that you try different activities, that you

144
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.799
break with monotony, that you keep
the emotion high. This will help you

145
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.399
avoid boredom and give you that extra
energy boost that we sometimes lack to complete

146
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:28.279
the tasks. And if you do
all of the above, you' re

147
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.639
gonna end up getting your goals.
So, what I invite you to do

148
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.200
is that every time you get a
goal, even every time you complete a

149
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:41.600
relevant task that you celebrate, don' t wait until the end of the

150
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.919
road to feel proud, proud of
yourself. Recognize your achievements and you can

151
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.440
celebrate them already on the way,
because that will keep you motivated, it

152
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:56.879
will remind you how far you have
come, it will keep you in the

153
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.600
positive spirit that will lead you to
the end, conquer your goals, it

154
