James Malinchak's Don't Be A Goal Setter, Be A Sure Goal Doer Part 14 of 14 CD #3

By Troy Dickson


James: When I grew up we used to take a seat on the back porch and talk stories with the neighbors and all of that. I don't see any of that stuff happening.

Step 3 - List other people who can help you achieve your goal. I'm doing that right now. I just became friends, he came to one of my speaker bootcamps with a major and I didn't even know he was this. He's a major, major Hollywood movie writer. He wrote many, many successful movies.

He sat in one of my bootcamps 6 months ago that I do for speakers. He wanted to learn speaking. We're meeting about that and him possibly doing this movie thing for me.

I've got all these other people who could help me that I've become known and I've known that I could talk to and ask them how did you do it? What did you do? What are the pitfalls? What do they look for? What do studios look for? How do we get this going?

Step 4 - Create my plan of what we're going to do. The end result is I've already seen it. The Premier, I've already cut out from the Hollywood Reporter and put my sisters movie as #1. We're at the end. I visualize it. I see all of these talk shows having us on about how we're changing the face of the world. I began at the end and worked backward.

Step 5 - I thought about the possible obstacles and the solutions. Well we don't like this script. There is no violence. There are no drugs. There is no killing. There is no comedy. Well we will overcome that. We will find a way to overcome it.

Step 6 - Take action. What steps do I need to take? Well I'm taking the minor steps at this time, the mini steps. I'm meeting with this Hollywood writer. How do we write a script? How to we get the financing? How do we do this?

Step 7 - Review the progress as we're going and make the needed adjustments and boom next thing you know we're in the theaters.

I only say that for a number of reasons. Number one to show you that it's okay to plan big from time to time.

Number two it put me on the hook. Now I am accountable for following up and making this happen which I will. I was going to do it anyway, but now it is just even more so because it is on a recording.

Number three to hopefully inspire you that if I am willing to take the initiative to go and do a movie, a small steel mill town kid, then you can make another sale. You can have more fun in your life. You can do whatever you want. You don't have to dream that big, but I want you to on certain ones, but I want to show you that anything is possible.

I just want to say that anything you want to achieve in your life, any goal, you can do it here. You can do it now. Just follow the 7-Step Plan for achieving any goal and be a goal doer not a goal setter.
