Free in the episode notes just below, under the play button and now let' s talk about how to unlock your full potential. There are many people who feel that they are not reaching their full potential. It' s like you' re at Christmas, the opening day of presents. You' re surrounded by gifts for opening and for some reason you don' t feel able to unwrap them. In the end. That' s what happens. The gifts in that metaphor are your gifts, they' re your talents. Life has given them to you And when you feel that you are not reaching your maximum power, it is because you are not able to carry out those gifts that life as generous as it has always given you. Why this happens, why we don' t see every day as an opportunity to unleash all that potential. Why don' t we consider that every year has to be a little better than the year

2:19 before. To begin with, because we lack clarity. Potential is a vague concept. The potential is a little defined concept and when we have something that is not clearly defined, that we cannot see clearly, we have to translate it into objectives. And this is going to be the key word for this episode. Objectives? Why? Because the objectives help us to realize our potential, help us to guide ourselves, help us measure our progress, help us to stay motivated also by transforming that potential, which is neobulous. When we turn it into specific targets, when we land it, that' s when we unleash the magic. So that' s when the achievements come or, at least, they can start coming. Potential by itself is nothing without objectives.

3:15 It means absolutely nothing. If you don' t know where you' re going, I don' t care if you have all the potential in the world. The aimless potential is absolutely useless. The problem with the objectives is that, as human beings, we tend to underestimate what we can achieve within five years, for example, in the long term and, on the other hand, we overestimate what we can do in the short term and a year seems like a lot of time, but it flies by. So we think we can do it all in a three- month period and that' s why we signed up for the gym in March so we can be okay in June and, instead, his dress- up we can do in a longer period. So, instead of filling out your list of purposes or objectives only in the New Year by January 15th, you no longer remember any and do not fulfill any or abandon them. As soon as you give the first trip, you have to think long term. You have to think like companies in one period I told you the other day of one of three out of five out of ten years, but it doesn' t make sense to mark without goal, that it takes less than that time why, because it' s not going to be an interesting goal and rather seems like a task.

4:39 The tasks and that are short term. The objectives must be long- term. Another problem is how we set those goals. Most people have goals that are very vague, very ethereal, that cannot be connected to daily reality. Other problems that have many goals, but those that have no matter how few or many. The problem that are little concrete, that are difficult to measure, difficult to connect with our daily reality. For example, people usually aim to lose weight, well, lose weight, but how much weight? Exactly how is that weight loss going to be distributed week by week? How you ' re going to track your progress. Other people want to write a book, but they do not break that goal down into concrete and achievable steps.

5:32 How many words you' re going to write today, how many pages you ' re going to do today to be able to write a book, and that' s why the goals don' t pass. That is why we do not meet objectives, because we do not break them down into tasks. We treat goal setting as an annual thing and it should be a continuous process. If you don' t have a task to accomplish against a goal every day you won' t meet that goal. So, to move the needle, you need a different approach. You need specific objectives measurable, few goals focused on the few priorities you have in life. You need to review those targets regularly to see how you' re meeting them, how your progress against that goal is evolving. And above all, you need those goals to be aligned with your values, your passions, your talents and your purpose. And, once you have this, all you need to do is adopt positive habits and behaviors every day that will help you do things, tasks that will help you complete, those tasks that will enable you to fulfill your goals. The good thing about having a target is that it helps you filter distractions. It focuses on what really matters. That' s why when you have targets,

7:09 every time you come up with something new, every time they come up with a plan that wasn' t on the radar. Since you have those goals, what you do is you ask yourself this is aligned with what I want to achieve, yes or no. It gets me closer to what I want to get or it gets me away, yes or no. And if it doesn' t get close to you and if it' s not aligned, the answer is a don' t see. It' s very simple. Actually, having concrete, measurable, specific goals makes your life very simple, because it allows you to make decisions very quickly. They invite you to play a football game or have a few beers, and that doesn' t bring you closer to the goals you have. You know. What you have to answer is that there is no doubt, it makes everything very easy. Then how it brings those targets to life. How we make it achievable, then, by dividing that target into more manageable time blocks, let' s say you have a five- year goal, because what I' m asking you to do is divide it into a three- month period, because five years a year doesn' t matter to me. It seems very long to us, it seems impossible, but commit yourself to three months of effort. That ' s much more digestible. Three months of effort won' t kill you and your body knows it, so your resistance is going to be much less.

8:37 And this strategy doesn' t just make the goal more manageable, it also allows you to review what you' re doing, that is, how you' re going against that goal after three months and allows you to adjust if the progress you' ve had hasn' t been the one you wanted to have or the one you have to have to meet the goal by that date. It allows you total flexibility to adapt. If you have a change of circumstances, it allows you to correct the course so that you can reach the end of the same place. What is the secret, because identify what are those two or three key actions for each ninety- day period. This is absolutely essential to be able to focus your energy, to be able to focus your resources effectively. When you prioritize these two or three key actions, you make sure that you are working in those areas that really impact your path to success, so don' t disperse efforts you go straight to the point.

9:43 Of course, when you' re faced with a task, there' s usually internal resistance. Right, this happens to all of us. The human body tends to the horizontal position and that is a reality. But that ' s the time when you have to show your perseverance and your determination and how we can do it, because one possible way is to reflect on those moments of the past, in which you felt successful, in which you felt satisfaction. Make a list of those achievements, which made you feel good in the past, which made you feel powerful or powerful, which made you feel ready to conquer the world, which made you feel like you ate the world.

10:28 When you remember those experiences, you' re reconnecting with your inner strength, you' re gaining motivation. Remember why it' s so important to pursue your dreams? You remember why you want to do what you want to do. Another thing you can do is maintain simplicity, minimalism when setting tasks. It is also important not to complicate your agenda with unnecessary activities, tasks that discourage you, etcetera. Simplify and focus on the essential tasks to achieve your goals. Few tasks, but very important. Remember the law of the eighty- twenties. Really twenty percent of your shares are the ones that give eighty percent of the results to you all over the world. Then focus on that 20% on making it perfect. And you don' t want to do everything, because it' s absolutely impossible for you to do it, and in the end you end up exhausted and getting nothing. This will help you conserve your energy and it will also help you maintain a constant level of motivation, because you don' t get distracted by keeping your eye on what matters, in the prize, in what you want to get at the end of the way. And another possibility is that it is creative or creative,

12:01 that you add a certain level of surprise to your daily life, that you experience new ways of doing things, that you try different activities, that you break with monotony, that you keep the emotion high. This will help you avoid boredom and give you that extra energy boost that we sometimes lack to complete the tasks. And if you do all of the above, you' re gonna end up getting your goals. So, what I invite you to do is that every time you get a goal, even every time you complete a relevant task that you celebrate, don' t wait until the end of the road to feel proud, proud of yourself. Recognize your achievements and you can celebrate them already on the way, because that will keep you motivated, it will remind you how far you have come, it will keep you in the positive spirit that will lead you to the end, conquer your goals, it will make you feel that you can do it. If your goal is to be a professional writer. You don' t just have to celebrate the moment you sign your first contract. You have to celebrate every new book you take out, every new one I' d even tell you, every new manuscript you finish, every chapter you get out. Celebrate regularly the things that really bring you closer to your goals. Achievements as small as all achievements seem add up so you know the best way to unlock your potential is to set specific

13:39 goals, measurable objectives, because clarity is something fundamental to transforming potential, which is something that is useless. Transform that potential into tangible achievements. When you have those goals, next step divided into manageable tasks, manageable tasks and apply to make them three rules simplicity, creativity and perseverance. And when you achieve these goals, because you have done your homework, then celebrate your achievements celebrate them.
