Guidance:
This was created to help you take action to make
2017 your best year yet. Use the following questions
to get crystal clear on your vision, goals and the
actions required to make them happen. The key is
to keep it simple, actionable and exciting.
Clear your calendar, get out your journal and lets
get to work. Be sure to print this out so you can put
pen to paper. Then take it to a coffee shop or park -WITHOUT an Internet connection or a time limit -and let the awesomeness begin.
Every magnificent accomplishment, discovery or
transformation started with the decision to make a
change and follow up with tiny steps each day. Over
time that commitment will move mountains.
Lets get to it!

STEP ONE
2. If there were a newspaper headline describing this past year for you, what would it
say?
3. What unfinished business did you want to resolve before the years end, and when will
you do it? (Ex: lingering relationships, apologies, goals yet to achieve, etc.)

were you with?
7. Where did you let fear hold you back from a goal you had?
8. What was boring to you this year that you hope to change for next year?

9. What new and inspiring people did you meet in the last year? Who do you want to get
closer with in the year to come? Remember, you are the average of the five people you
spend most time with. Choose wisely!

STEP TWO
If you have built castles in the sky, let not your dreams go to waste. Just
build the foundations under them. ~ Henry David Thoreau
List the core areas of your life where you want to get results. Examples
include: Health, Continued Learning, Helping Others, Marriage, Business. The
more creative you can get with your naming, the more committed youll be
(i.e. Expand the Mind instead of Continued Learning). Anything goes.
Dont list any more than 8 (ideally fewer). The point here is to nail the areas in
your life that matter and have fun with it.

Now its time to think big. These goals dont have to be massive, but that
certainly makes it more fun. They just have to be meaningful to you. Its not
necessary to pick something for every single category, but we encourage you to
do so or you risk sacrificing parts of your life that matter. Balance is key.
List 1-3 goals per Area of Attention:

STEP FIVE
Get Specific!
Define What You Really Want
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly
find out how far one can go. ~ T. S. Eliot
Its not enough to say, I want to be healthier or I want to make more money.
Goals must be quantifiable and measurable. And you need to be in control of
whether they happen. You cant control whether you actually lose 10 pounds,
but you can control what you eat and how often you exercise, which usually
leads to losing the weight. Define exactly what you want. If you want to write a
book, then how many words a day can you commit to?
If you dont know the rules of the game, then how could you ever expect to win?
List the quantifiable outcomes and the specifics of each goal.

STEP NINE
Show me your friends and I will show you your future. - Unknown
We tend to keep our word much better with others than with ourselves. Pick at
least four people close to you to tell about your goals. Theyll be your
Accountability Allies. Walk them through your process. Explain why its so
deadly important to you and even give them a copy of your goals and plan (Just
photocopy this when complete). Ask for their help.
Accountability Ally:
Bonus Task: Better yet, head over to our Live Your Legend Accountability &
Action Group on Facebook and openly declare your biggest goals to our
community. Not only will it make you more accountable, but I know there
are also a ton of ways our talented members can help you be successful. Go
get the word out!

STEP TEN
Steady perseverance is taking small steps to get to your achievement and toward
which effort is directed. As long as you make movement toward a goal, thats what
matter most in life. ~ Kemmy Nola
To see massive progress, you must keep your plans front of mind. Create a
routine that allows you to review the above on a weekly basis. Anything
more infrequent than weekly makes it too easy to keep the ideas and
dreams just that: ideas and dreams. They become reality when we
consistently address them and make small gradual progress. In a year that
can become enormous.
1. Write down when you will review your goals on a routine basis:
Day of Week: ______________________ Time of Day: ____________
2. Adopt a weekly planning process to ensure you continue to stay accountable
and make progress. The good news is we already created this for you.

STEP ELEVEN
Never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive
action toward its attainment. - Tony Robbins
Never leave the site of a planning session without taking some action to get you
closer to victory. It could be the tiniest thing in the world. Maybe send a short
email or make a quick list. Pick something that only takes 5 minutes or less.
And do it. Let the momentum build.
Pick one small task for your top few goals that you can do right now to get you
closer.

Congratulations! The fact that youve finished this process means you are
nearly guaranteed to experience your dreams. As long as you do one thing
Work.
Dreams dont become reality by dreaming. That is the very first and simplest
step. The magic happens when a consistent process of dedicated action is
applied to the things that matter most in your life. And make no mistake.
Massive hard work is required.
When you get committed on such a level, the sky is literally the limit. That is
what has turned the impossible into the possible and is what makes the
difference between a Legendary life and an ordinary one.
We have a lot more power than we often give ourselves credit for.
All we have to do is want it badly enough. That part is up to you.
Heres to a year of doing what actually matters to you and to the world.
Well see you out there!
