1
If you feel like everyone around you is doing the thing
2
that you want to be doing and living the life
3
that you want to be living and you don't know how to get there, this video is for you.
4
You see, I used to feel like that too.
5
I looked around one day and realized my everyday reality didn't actually match the potential that I knew I had.
6
And I truly wasn't proud of myself, but didn't know what to do next.
7
All of that changed when I did a few simple steps to truly start building a life that I was proud of.
8
So if you want to figure out what to do next and how to actually build the life that you want, these are the six steps that you need to follow.
9
The first thing to understand is that it's okay to want more.
10
When you look around at your life and your reality and realize that it doesn't match your goals or your ambition, this is actually beautiful self-awareness.
11
The ability to recognize the gap from where you are right
12
now to where you could be is one of the most important traits a person can have.
13
A study from NYU showed this exact concept and found
14
that people who vividly identify the gap between their current state and their desired outcome, and then plan for obstacles,
15
are significantly more likely to achieve their goals than people who just use positive visualization.
16
And especially for us women, who've been told over and over that wanting more makes us selfish or ungrateful.
17
But you having ambition in identifying this gap between where you are and where you want to be, isn't you being selfish.
18
It's you being self-aware.
19
And without self-awareness, you run the risk of just being lucky and having life happen to you
20
instead of you actually going for and getting what you want.
21
And yes, you might be able to stumble into some great opportunities, but deep down, that is just building more insecurity
22
because did you get lucky or did you actually do the work
23
that was required in order for you to deserve the opportunity that you actually got?
24
The most successful people I know are successful and live the best lives
25
because they all had a low point where they got extremely self-aware of what they didn't like about their life.
26
And then they decided that they wanted more.
27
And the difference between them and other people is just that they didn't sit in the low feeling.
28
They didn't distract themselves.
29
They actually did something about it.
30
So if you're feeling this way, you have to tell yourself this.
31
Number one, it's okay to feel this way about your life.
32
You don't always have to be grateful despite the fact that you want something to change.
33
Number two, it's okay to want more from your life.
34
And number three, it's okay to decide to do something about it.
35
And here's how to do all of that.
36
Next, you have to get crystal clear on what you actually want.
37
The overall question is this what am I missing?
38
And get super specific about what it actually is to be able to make it real.
39
Do you want to make $20,000 more a month, $10,000 more a month, $50,000 more a month?
40
Do you want to have a relationship where the person actually supports you and cares about you and appreciates you?
41
Do you want to have great friends?
42
And is it five friends or three friends?
43
Are you looking for a good girlfriend that you can talk to
44
and be able to communicate about all of the challenges that you go through?
45
Or are you looking for somebody who's a little bit further along the journey than you that you could be mentored by?
46
You see, answering these very specific questions is so important because whatever areas you identify are going to become your goals.
47
And if you're too vague in your goals, then you're going to get vague results.
48
Specific goals equal specific results.
49
One of my most inspiring examples of this is the founder of Spanx, Sarah Blakely.
50
She used to sell fax machines door to door for seven years.
51
But when she set her goals.
52
She didn't say, oh, I just want to start a business.
53
Maybe someday it'll happen.
54
She said, I want to invent a product that I can sell to millions of people.
55
She got specific on the goal and then specific on the product
56
and then invested $5,000 of her own savings to build Spanx into a billion dollar company.
57
But this just isn't a trend or something that worked for Sarah.
58
This has been studied.
59
Over 1,000 studies, over 35 years, Edwin Locke from the University of Maryland found
60
that specific challenging goals lead to higher performance 90% of the time compared to vague do-your-best goals.
61
So you get your favorite notebook and start thinking through what is exactly missing from the life that you want
62
and write them down as specific as possible.
63
Next is step number three, which is to pick the one goal that unlocks all the others.
64
When you look at your list of goals, you have to get really honest with yourself about this one thing.
65
Knowing that you only have a limited amount of energy, what is the one goal that if you could put all of your time, all of your energy towards that one thing, it would unlock all the others?
66
For most people, this is likely going to be tied to their income.
67
And let's just get honest about this.
68
Money can unlock your goals.
69
Money is a common denominator across countless goals for people.
70
I didn't used to feel this way I used to think
71
that you should have all these goals and all these different buckets
72
and pursue all of them at once And then I realized
73
that I was getting nowhere quickly I spent years and years
74
and years waking up on my birthday being upset with myself being disappointed
75
And I can tell you
76
that all the way up until my mid-20s I spent every birthday crying because I just had this weight of disappointment
77
And in my mid-20s, I made the decision to go all in on my career
78
and all in on my ability to make money.
79
Because those things unlocked so many other goals that were connected to them.
80
When you make more money and have success in your career, it doesn't just unlock your professional and your financial goals.
81
It also unlocks your personal goals.
82
If you want to be able to take a trip to Disneyland with your kids, guess what?
83
That requires money.
84
If you want to have an amazing podcast where you bring on really cool guests
85
and have people who are interesting to talk to, want to talk to you, guess what?
86
It takes money.
87
If you want to write a million dollar check to charity, let me tell you that certainly takes money.
88
And so by focusing and not diminishing how important money is to so many goals,
89
it allows you to bring clarity to the actions that you have to take in order to do exactly that.
90
Money helps with health related goals
91
because you can pay the best doctors for the best treatments in order to look and feel however you want to feel.
92
It helps with being able to have your family close by.
93
You can pay to have them fly to you or spend time with you at an event or take family trips.
94
Money changes everything.
95
And when I started focusing on my career and my competence, I'll be honest with you, it was slow at first.
96
I got especially motivated in my early 20s
97
because I would show up to these dinner parties
98
when I was dating my now husband and I would be introduced as his girlfriend, the one that didn't have a career, didn't have any sort of success.
99
I looked like the things that I feared people thought about me, which was that I didn't have any value to add, that I wasn't doing anything, and that I was just some form of arm candy.
100
And this crushed me inside because I knew that my potential was something entirely different.
101
But the business that I was working in at the time was a complete failure.
102
And I was learning lesson after lesson after lesson that was painful and mortifying to me at the time.
103
At the time, it was so clear to me that my reality did not meet who I actually was.
104
You see, I wanted to be able to say, I'm Natalie and I have done XYZ tangible things that are successful and cool and interesting.
105
And I got so fed up with this that I had one dinner conversation that became my burn the boats moment.
106
I told myself that the next time that I showed up to dinner with this group of people, I would have an entirely different life and have launched something and built something that I could actually be proud of.
107
And I did exactly that.
108
How?
109
Because I focused on my one big goal that unlocked all of the rest of my goals.
110
So when you're picking your one goal to focus on, it's okay to be vulnerable.
111
Look at your goals and identify the one.
112
Focus on just that one goal that can open up countless doors for you.
113
So once you have your goal decided on, step four is to set a six-month target.
114
It is not cool today to be obsessive, but let's make obsessive cool again.
115
Because the people who are obsessive about getting the life that they want, getting the body that they want, having the relationship that they want, making more money, guess what?
116
They actually get it.
117
And so who cares if some of your friends don't think it's cool that you're all in on something?
118
They aren't cool.
119
Tell yourself that when you're in the process of feeling like you need to be a little bit more casual, a little bit more subtle, a little bit more subdued when you're around people who don't support you.
120
Get comfortable being completely obsessive and let the casual behavior of others not have an ounce of an effect on you.
121
You see, in order to make progress towards your goal, you should be using a specific goal-setting framework that forces you to be accountable for your progress.
122
My goal-setting framework breaks down how to set your goals in three categories, personally, professionally, and financially across one years,
123
three years, and five years out if you want the framework
124
that i've used myself and across thousands of people find me on instagram at natalie dawson
125
and comment ppf in my dms so
126
that you can start building the life of your dreams
127
and the secret to why this works is instead of just
128
saying someday you're giving yourself a deadline like a six-month target ask yourself who are you going to be
129
or what are you going to be doing in six months set a very specific deadline
130
and one of my favorite hacks to this is scheduling yourself
131
for an event at the end of the six month mark
132
because when i did that
133
that deadline forced me to show up in a different way it was a reminder for me for six months
134
that i'm going to be in this room and
135
when i get to this room i want to be able to say i've done xyz thing
136
or introduce myself saying i've launched this business in order to
137
launch the business there has to be a website i have
138
to have business cards there needs to be an instagram i have all of this work now
139
that I'm forced to do because I have a deadline.
140
I remember I went to this women's event a few years ago and for months prior I worked out differently.
141
I spent more intentional time building my blog, showing up on Instagram consistently because I wanted at
142
that event to show up as a different person who had actual stats and not be the person that I had been.
143
And the deadline of the event is what kept me accountable.
144
An NYC study found that people who attach their goals to a specific time, place, or event are up to three times more likely to follow through,
145
and that the successful completion of difficult-to-implement project tripled when participants committed to a specific time, when, and where.
146
The big truth is that when you have a date set on the calendar, you stop theorizing about your goals and actually start making progress towards them.
147
So set yourself a six-month timeline for your goal.
148
Pick an event like a speaking event, a conference.
149
You could even come to our next Elite Edge event.
150
And over the following months, you're going to see yourself show up differently
151
because you've created a milestone that's coming up in the future for you to prove that you're showing up differently.
152
The next step is to do the work because the work is the separator.
153
When you're in this six-month grind of doing the hard work to accomplish your goal, it's going to suck.
154
That's the truth.
155
It's going to be challenging and there will be people in your life who won't support you, but part of the work is accepting that.
156
Something
157
that can really help get you through this is documenting your
158
grind you can journal record yourself take photos yes this time is going to be hard
159
but when you look back on these six months
160
and you can see your progress that becomes your proof to yourself
161
and to others that what you're actually doing is working
162
and a side benefit is this can help you build a personal brand as well
163
which can unlock even more goals of yours in the future
164
because of the six months struggle
165
and the working extremely hard is a great proof point
166
that gives you the earned experience
167
and authority to help other people later do exactly what you
168
did without proof of doing the work it's just theory
169
so just remember that the six month season of your life will be hard
170
but if you document the process it can become one of your greatest assets later i always think about this
171
when it comes to personal trainers
172
if the personal trainer did not get a before picture
173
and they just show somebody who is super fit you think
174
that they were just born like that you think
175
that it wasn't hard for them you think
176
that it was maybe genetics why because you didn't see them before
177
but when you do see a before picture
178
and the person was 30 pounds heavier had a similar body type to you all of the sudden
179
when you see the after you start to believe
180
that you yourself can have that as well you become inspired by it
181
but without the before and without understanding what the process was in order to get the body
182
that they wanted it can feel meaningless
183
because it's just another fit person who was just born
184
that way and that brings us to the last step
185
which is the ultimate payoff for being able to help others i can tell you firsthand
186
that when you reach the point where you can take your experience
187
and confidently share it with hundreds of thousands of people there is no better feeling than
188
that inner confidence and your earned authority and that's the only reason
189
that i'm able to make a video like this
190
because i've done the work
191
when no one was watching i documented my steps i paid attention to the process
192
and now i get to share that
193
and help other people do the same there is literally no greater gift
194
that you can give to people
195
and there is no greater sense of personal accomplishment than becoming the person
196
that you actually want it to be
197
and then using your example to help others this is how
198
you can actually make an impact on the world you can't make an impact
199
if you're still stuck as the version of you that you were six months ago.
200
My life completely transformed when I learned this lesson early in my 20s.
201
I was in college and I literally wanted to change the world by helping other people, but my boss at the time clearly pointed out that if I couldn't help myself,
202
how on earth was I ever going to be in a position to help other people?
203
And he was right.
204
At the time, I wasn't able to help myself.
205
I was barely making minimum wage, I wasn't confident, I couldn't communicate well, and I didn't have a clear direction where I was going.
206
And because he was able to redirect me, I spent time and focus on how I could set myself up for success
207
so that then I could be in a position to help others.
208
It's just like when you hop on an airplane
209
and they tell you that you have to fix your mask first before assisting others.
210
You can't just go around the plane helping everybody else when you yourself aren't even conscious because you didn't help yourself first.
211
So you setting an example, you making your life a demonstration of financial success, of health success, of relationship success,
212
of company success, of then other people's success is ultimately the goal.
213
But you can't just start with other people's success
214
because no one wants to listen to somebody tell them something
215
when that person that is saying it hasn't even demonstrated that they themselves have what they want.
216
So if this resonated with you, try out these steps and set yourself up with a six-month deadline.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
