Habit no. 2 of the Stephen Covey's book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", is "Begin With The End In Mind".

To define the best version of yourself, start by looking at what your life looks like as if you already achieved your greatest accomplishments. 

Can you define, in concrete terms, what those accomplishments are? I call this definition process visualizing your best future. 

Everyone's vision is different, because each of us is unique.

However, we have a right to make this vision as big as it can be. Use this right to think big, dream big, and visualize yourself doing great things. 

This visualization process is covered in more detail in my book, "Are You A Super Achiever?

As a Super Achiever, demand that you will commit to setting goals and working everyday to achieve those goals.

Research shows that setting specific goals helps people get what they want faster.

Start by setting some long term goals that will take at least a year to accomplish.

Here's how to get started:

• Write down a list of everything you want to achieve.
• Check over your list and seriously consider whether or not it is realistic.
• State your goals positively. Instead of “I want to be less worried about my appearance,” write “I want to be confident about my appearance.”​
• Be specific. The more specific you are, the easier it will be to define success.

Once your long-term goals are defined, break those goals down into short-term goals. 

Breaking your goals into small steps also makes you more likely to achieve them.

In my post about New Years Resolutions entitled,

"Why You Should Make Your New Year’s Resolution, And Break It On January 2nd"

 talks about dividing your goals by 365 to break your goals down on a daily basis.

This gives you an opportunity to do something each day to accomplish  your goals.

Push yourself each day to accomplish something, even if it seems like a small task. Those small tasks add up quickly. 

The next demand that Super Achievers impose on themselves is to carve out time in their daily schedule for goal accomplishment. 

Allocate a portion of each day to work on your goals, and give this time priority. 

•   Commit to scheduling goal attainment everyday. Doing a little everyday makes achieving your goals easier. 
• Build in the possibility that your goals may change.  Times will change, people will change, and therefore, your goals will change. Goal setting not an exact science.  Allow yourself some room to grow and change.
• Create a goals checklist of things you should do every day to work towards your goal. I call this your "Daily Success Tracker".  

One of the biggest demands of the Super Achiever is the right to keep achieving and never stop.

Achieving your goals one year doesn't mean you can stop. The Super Achiever will simply set higher goals.

Achieving your full potential is a lifelong process.

You will achieve many goals along the way, but always stay committed to the process of lifelong self-improvement. 

Our abilities are not static and fixed. They are always in flux. 

To keep moving forward:

• Consult your goals checklist to keep yourself on track.   Keep moving the bar higher each year. This will help you continue to progress even further than you thought you could.
• Remember that failure is a learning process, so learn all you can to get where you want to go.
• Samuel Beckett wrote: “Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” Follow this simple premise and you will be able to continue to work toward achieving your full potential.
