Did You Know?
Of the 20% of the population that set goals, roughly 70% fail to achieve the goals they set for themselves.
A Harvard Business study in the 2017 October Business Planning Guide from Rising Tide Society: (the study) revealed remarkable statistics relating to goal setting and success:
The study found that the 14% who have goals are 10 times more successful than those without goals. The 3% with written goals are three times more successful than the 14% with unwritten goals. Writing your goals down sets you up to be exponentially successful.
This is why mentorship & coaching is important. It does not matter who you are, everyone needs someone to encourage them and create “the pull.” The pull is the vision and reward so big that it pulls them through the challenges to their desired result.
The following pages provide an overview of the 3Ds of Success, 5 Keys to Results, and Growth Plan.
3Ds of Success
Define:

Deliver:
This is the process of discovery. It’s the stage where you:
When you clearly define and understand this, you are ready to develop a plan.
The develop stage is about creating a plan/blueprint for you and your team to follow.
Your situation and results may be complex, but your plan doesn’t have to be. The easier it is to follow, the more likely you’ll gain buy-in and total engagement from your success partners/team.
Your plan should be a series of clearly defined steps/actions. This will reduce chaos, confusion, and frustration, so you can focus on execution in the deliver stage.
The key to delivering is assembling the best resources and teams to execute your plan.
Coordinate ongoing strategy sessions, assign tasks to team members based on their roles and timelines. Agree what success looks and feels like. Identify and work through potential challenges.
Each member’s flawless execution is needed to deliver results.
Success is all about teamwork. No one can do it alone.
Deliver/Execution of your goals goes beyond planning and working. The past 30 years of my life I have followed some daily practices. I can tell you that each year they have helped me achieve 90% or more of my goals. I believe the same is possible for you. Here are my 5 Keys to generating results/manifestation:
Visualization:
Visualization is important because it helps to prepare and to teach you how to respond to a situation before it happens. It also helps condition your brain to see, hear, and feel the success in your mind.
It engages the reticular activating system (RAS)—a bundle of neurons that acts as your filtering system and helps you to determine what information is important vs. what is not important.
Your brain perceives two million bits of data per second through the five senses. However, your brain is only able to process and manage 126 bits of data per second.
Write It Down:
Writing things down doesn't just help you remember; it makes your mind more efficient by helping you focus on the important stuff.
Encoding is the biological process by which the things we perceive travel to our brain’s hippocampus where they’re analyzed. From there, decisions are made about what gets stored in our long-term memory and, in turn, what gets discarded. Writing improves that encoding process.
I tend to believe when you move a thought from your mind to paper you pull it from the spiritual world into the physical world and it becomes part of your steps/actions to take.
Affirmations:
Practicing affirmations fires up the neural pathways/reward system in your brain which can have an impact on how you experience happy and positive emotions. Affirmations can motivate you to act on certain things, help you to concentrate on achieving your goals, give you the power to change negative thinking patterns, and replace them with positive thinking patterns.
Believe:
The power of belief is amazing. Like an intention, a belief is founded in faith and confidence. You can only manifest what you believe is possible, because the mind doesn’t know the difference between seeing and imagining. So don’t limit yourself. Think BIG. Conversely if something is not in alignment to your belief system, you will self sabotage the result. You cannot have internal conflict.
Gratitude:
Gratitude attracts what we want. The Law of Attraction says we attract into our life the things we think about and focus on. When you are consciously aware of your blessings, and are grateful for them, you are focusing more clearly on what you want in your life; therefore, you attract more of those things.
Now that you are practicing these 5 things daily:
***Leave room for The Magic…
The Magic is God, the Universe, the Creator, the Almighty, Allah, Energy… Whatever you believe, there is an unlimited power that makes all things possible at the best/perfect time. When I think of some of my most cherished achievements, they did not always happen when I thought they should, but always at the best/perfect time, and the highest version of it. It was the Magic… And now you’re ready to begin your Growth Plan.
The 3Ds of Success Growth Plan is designed like a dashboard to keep your goals in front of you daily. Goal setting and achievement are about focusing. You should review your dashboard daily to maintain your focus on:
Following this process, keeps your goals at the forefront of your mind and from being derailed or quitting on them.
Using the Growth Plan: The plan breaks your goals down in a quarterly basis for a 12-month period. You may not see progress daily. Expanding your perspective to a quarter reduces frustration.
