Most people don't know
what they're looking forward to
(00:02):
because they have no idea wherethey're going. It's like not
putting an address into yourmaps before you go on a drive,
because unless you have beenthere before and you know
exactly how to get you're goingto end up in a totally different
place to where you intended orwhere you thought you were going
to so what putting a addressinto a navigation system does is
(00:27):
it work out the route you needto take, adjust it along the way
to make sure that you end upgetting to your chosen
destination, right? So you startwith the destination, and then
you figure out how you're goingto get there. A lot of
entrepreneurs just focus onwhat's next. That leads to
chaos. It leads to a lack ofpurpose. So if you're just
(00:53):
focusing on literally, the stepthat's in front of you, and you
don't know further down the linewhere you're going to obviously,
everything comes from each stepthat you take, and you have to
keep taking steps to get there.
But unless you know where thosesteps are leading to, it lacks
purpose and it creates chaos.
You gotta learn how to do avision led plan that is both
(01:15):
adaptable and aligns the body,the mind and your bank account
doesn't leave one of thosethings out, because all three
are really important. So beforemeeting Kay, I knew how to make
money. I knew so I was prettygood at making money. I didn't
make loads and loads of money,but I certainly made more money
than a lot of people around me,and I was always focused on what
(01:37):
the next paycheck I was going toget was, how much bonus could I
earn that month? How much moneywas I going to earn that year?
Moving from 20,000 to 30,000 to40,000 I was just focused on
that next thing. And didn'treally know why I was focused on
that next thing, apart from thefact that I just wanted to have
more things and buy more stuff,there was no end goal. It was
(02:00):
just a way of leading a betterlife for myself and, you know,
for my family and wife and kidsthat I had at the time. You
know, because this was, this wasbefore I met Kay and really
realised my purpose. You know,it's just to give more to the
people that were around me,essentially, and to buy more
things and have a better lifefor myself. And there's nothing
wrong wanting a better life foryourself. There's absolutely
(02:22):
nothing wrong with that. Nothingwrong with that, but I needed
something more. I needed to havea bigger purpose in life. I felt
like something was missing. AndI know that there's some of you
out there, you know, inside thatyou were meant for, for bigger
things instead of that nextthing that you're going for now,
it could be the next deal. Couldbe the next level of wealth, you
know, whatever that might be,whatever that next thing is, you
(02:43):
only have that in mind, like youneed the next thing that you're
going after absolutely but youneed to know how that ties into
the one after that, and then theone after that, and then what
you do to work your waybackwards. So with my mind
clouded, I was in arelationship, I didn't really
know how far ahead I was goingto go. I didn't really know the
long term plans of what thatwas. I felt like a prisoner in
(03:05):
my life. I didn't feel like Iwas in control of it. I felt
like someone else was and again,it felt like there was something
missing. Like I said, I had nolong term plans. I was just
focused on that next thing, andI couldn't help but feel that
the next thing, while I wanted,it wasn't enough. Didn't give me
the thing that I wanted. When Ifinally broke away from this was
(03:27):
when I found Kay. Kay allowed meto be me again. Allowed me to be
free, free of thought, free todo things how I wanted to do
them, and she encouraged me todo that. She gave me the support
to be able to do that, and Istarted to realise that every
(03:47):
great man needs a great woman intheir life, and every great
woman needs a great man in theirlife to help let them be free to
be the person that they are andmake their own decisions, but
also support them and be behindthem in the decisions that they
make. And that's what Kay didfor me. And she saved me,
(04:09):
really. She saved me to be meagain, and that allowed me, in
2015 to start realising why Iwas put on this earth. And that
was very liberating for me. And2015 was the first time that I
wrote down my long term goals.
And my long term goals startedto bigger than me, not as big as
they are now, but certainlybigger than I was then. And it
(04:32):
wasn't about the next thing. Iwas starting to think about the
things that I wanted after thenext thing. So at the time 2015
I was thinking of things thatlike freedom, a place to call
home, you know, a place that weowned, that we called, that we
called home, that we reallyliked, that we felt like was
ours. I really wanted that backthen. I also wanted job
(04:54):
satisfaction. I wanted to feellike I was giving back doing the
day to day. Work I was doing,and I also wanted Kay to be free
from what she was doing becauseshe didn't enjoy what she was
doing. And one of my three tofive year goals was for her to
not have to work for anyone elsethat she was either, you know,
(05:15):
doing whatever she wanted to do,or she was just doing something
else that had nothing to dowith, you know, being being
having a boss and being toldwhat to do, essentially, she
could make her own decisions inher job. I also thought back
then that I wanted to have, youknow, a future for my kids. My
kids needed someone to look upto. So I wanted to start
(05:36):
building a legacy that thepeople around me could be proud
of. And since then, because itactually by doing that liberated
me so much and gave me, gaveeverything that I did in the
moment purpose, because I hadn'treally defined exactly what my
purpose was. Then, I think I didthat in 2016 2017 but it gave me
purpose in the sense of I knewwhat I was doing now, was
(06:01):
working towards what I wanted inthe next, sort of three to five
years, 10 to 20 years and so on.
So it gave you know the actionsand the things that I was doing
and achieving now some purpose,because it was working towards
those different things in thefuture. So every year since
then, I have written out mygoals, 10 to 20 year goals,
(06:25):
maybe 15 to 20 years is, let mestart again. So since then,
every year I have written out mylong term goals. So between 1520
years, maybe a bit longer, justthose long term goals, what I
wanted to achieve when I'm like,you know, 5560,
and then my three to five yeargoals. And actually, I think I
(06:46):
do my three and my five year butyou can just pick one if you
wanted to, but I've done mythree and my five year goals,
and then I do my one year goal.
So what I want to achieve withinthe next 12 months, and I've
always done it in that order aswell, started with the further
away, and then kept breaking itdown to closer and closer in the
future, so that I could see howit all tied in with each other.
(07:07):
And doing that every year wasreally good. It really gave me
something by writing thingsdown. If you write you invite so
it really imprints in yourbrain. But also, I write it down
really neatly on pieces of afour paper, and then put it up
on the wall so that I could seeit every day. And I could also
(07:28):
tick them off when it was likethe yearly goals. I could tick
them off as I was achieving themthroughout the year. And that
was really powerful as well.
Then in 2017 2018 I read thebook measure what matters, by
John Doe, and that gave me someinsight into how to plan through
(07:53):
results, and I was alreadysetting goals and stuff, but
this gave me some real structureon how to break things down even
further than the one year. Sofor a couple of years, I've
already been doing breaking itdown from my long term to my
medium term, three to fiveyears, and then my one year
goals sort of more shorter term.
But I've not broken it down anyfurther than that. And John Doe,
(08:15):
in measure what matters, taughtme about objectives and key
results. So what I then starteddoing was setting my key
objectives for the year and theresults, the smaller sort of
results that I needed toachieve, the key results that he
says in the book, to make surethat that objective is hit. So
(08:37):
the objective is sort of like adescription of what it is you
want to achieve, and then thekey results are the things that
have proven that you've achievedit. So almost like a goal,
overhanging goal, the objective,and then measures of success to
say whether you've achieved thatobjective or not. Now in the
book, they do it quarterly. WhatI've decided to do is do it
(09:00):
yearly and quarterly. So I setobjectives and key results for
the year, and then breaking itdown into quarters of objectives
and key results as well. So Istarted doing that. And again,
that was really powerful, likeit literally turned everything
around. That's when kg inspiredproperty was born, and kg short
stay, which is our short termrental management company that
(09:22):
was born in 2018 andimplementing that into our
business really got it going. Itenabled Kay to quit her job at
the end of 2018 and then when wegot to beginning of 2019 we went
to Tony Robbins Unleash thePower Within first Tony Robbins
live event I've been to wasreally excited. We got, you
(09:42):
know, almost near the front,which was awesome. Think we had
diamond tickets. And as you gotreally close to Tony, I think I
high fived Tony as well when hewalked past, which was awesome.
It was great. However, what Tonytalked about then, which again,
sat with me, was his rpm. PM,results planning method. And
again, I'd sort of already beendoing it anyways, but it really
(10:04):
affirmed the importance ofworking towards your results,
the results that you want toachieve. And the point that he
made, and this was always stuckwith me, is you may not need to
do all the things that you thinkyou need to do to get the
result, because the actionsaren't the point. The point is
(10:25):
the result. The reason you dothe actions is to get the
result. So Tony Robbins wastalking about massive action,
and absolutely take massiveaction, go all in, but the thing
that you're aiming to get is theresult. And sometimes you don't
need to do all the things thatyou need to do to get the
results. So it's the resultsplanning method. So the way that
(10:46):
we're planning here, and this isthe importance, the way that
I've always planned and donesince 2019 going to the Tony
Robbins event, is to plan withresults. The only time you
really should be planning youractions and the things that
you're going to do is on aweekly, possibly monthly basis.
Everything else should be theresults that you want to
(11:10):
achieve. So lastly, the lastthing that has developed this
framework even further is in thelast 18 months, we came across a
new peer group, and it's DanHill, who's my mentor at the
moment, and the propertyentrepreneur. And one thing that
they do is they do somethingcalled Sunday sanity. And Sunday
(11:31):
sanity is basically at thebeginning of each week, you
think about all the tasks thatyou need to do, 10 tasks that
you need to do the key 10 thingsthat you need to do that week
that tie into the things thatyou need to do for the month and
for the quarter. And this wasanother game changer for me in
the way that I was planning. Soyou can see through how I've
(11:54):
done things over the last threeyears, it's just grown and
developed where you go fromplanning long term, medium term,
short term to the year, thenbreaking that down into
objectives and key results forthe year, and then objectives
and key results for the quarter,and then the month would have
been planned out by what Iwanted to achieve for the
(12:16):
quarter. So just the takingthose key results for the
quarter and assigning them tothe month right within that
quarter. And then by joining theproperty entrepreneur and being
mentored by Dan Hill, they'vetaught us how to then tie your
weekly tasks into your month andyour quarter, which, again, was
(12:37):
fantastic because it allowed meto plan my diary out each week
and absolutely do the thingsthat tie into the month, that
then tie into the quarter, thatthen tie into the year, and then
the year ties into the three andfive year, and the three and
five year ties into the muchlonger term, aspirational,
visionary goal that you want toget. Now, what I've done with
(12:59):
all of this stuff that I'velearned over the last since 2015
since Kay liberated me from myfrom my previous life, is I've
taken all these things and I'vemade them into a way that
supports the body, the mind andyour bank account. This isn't
just about getting a phenomenalbank account, because what's the
(13:19):
point in having a phenomenalbank account if your mind and
your body aren't in the rightplace, because you can't enjoy
your money, there's loads ofreally blooming rich people out
there, really wealthy people outthere, that are unhappy, and the
only way you can be happy is ifyou balance and blend the body
and the mind with your bankaccount, and treat them with
(13:41):
equal importance. And within myplanning method, this is how I
put them in to the way that Iplan. Now I set goals for each
area. So it's not just financialgoals or things that I want to
buy. It's goals for my mind andit's goals for my body as well.
So this is the carnivoreentrepreneur vision and planning
(14:02):
framework, and there's threesteps to it, and again, PDF for
you to download. Feel free todownload it. This is a much
bigger PDF. Again, you can dothis all on blank piece of
paper. The PDF not only givesyou the step by step guide, but
it also gives you a little bitof a template to be able to use.
So feel free to print it off anduse it for your planning. And
(14:23):
you can then put it up, and itwill create a little bit of a
vision board for you as well. Sothe first one is the future
focus vision, and this is youputting your body, mind and bank
account goals down for your longterm, medium term and shorter
term metrics. So as an examplewith your body, it's going to be
(14:48):
body metrics like body fat andweight and things that you can
lift and things that you can dowith your body energy you're
going to have your mind could beexperienced. Experiences that
you're going to do. It could bethe time that you're going to
get back, how much time you'regoing to be working and how much
time is going to be spent, youknow, just doing what you want
to do and being free, and yourbank account is obviously your
(15:10):
income, your wealth, and yourthings that you want to buy,
right things that you want tospend your money on. And, yeah,
you're going to spend your moneyon experiences and other things
as well. But this isspecifically things that you
want to buy, your income andyour generational wealth. So
your future focus vision is your10 to 20 year goals. And you
know, it might even be longerthan that. So I would say
(15:32):
minimum 10 years, but you couldgo up to 25, or 30 years. If
you're a bit younger, right,then you've got your Do you want
to write those down? Start withthose then you've got your three
to five years. And again, youcan do what I do and split them
up. You can do a three year anda five year goal, or you can
just do a five year, or whateverworks for you. And again, you
(15:52):
want to take what you've set foryour longer term vision and then
break that down in what youbelieve you can achieve within
the next three to five years.
And then you take your three tofive years and again, break the
body, mind and bank accountgoals into what you want to
achieve in the next 12 months.
Now this is a great exercise todo at the tail end of the year
or at the beginning of a newyear. What I tend to do is I
(16:16):
tend to reflect at the end ofthe year. I tend to reflect on
the previous year, and then inthe beginning of a new year,
that's when I set the goals thatI want, sort of December,
January time, to make sure thatI'm really set up for the next
12 months. So that's your futurefocused vision framework. And
then number two is the quarterlymomentum plan. And again, these
(16:36):
are all split up into body, mindand bank account. We're going to
treat the goals with equalimportance, so you need to have
equal focus on all three,because they're all they will
all help each other, right? Yourbody will help your bank
account, your bank account willhelp your mind, your mind will
help your body, your mind willhelp your bank account, so it
(16:58):
all feeds into each other.
Remember that. So the quarterlymomentum plan is you're going to
take your year and you're goingto break it down into the next
so you're going to plan the nextquarter objectives that you need
to work towards. That next your12 month goals. So you're going
to have your objectives, and Iwouldn't have more than three
(17:19):
objectives, so your threeobjectives for the quarter and
the key results that you need toachieve to make sure that you
get that objective, then whatyou're going to do is you're
going to take those key resultsthat you've got under each
objective and you're going toassign those to a month, right?
Those results, those goals, thatyou need to be able to hit those
(17:40):
objectives, they're going to beassigned to a month, and you're
going to put them in as to whereyou're going to hit those in the
quarter, and you're going to puta date on each of them, right?
So make sure that you put a dateon each of them, and you know
what month they sit in. So whenyou set your monthly goals,
you're putting those in to yourmonth, and that's the next part
of the quarterly momentum planis you're going to take your
(18:03):
quarterly objectives and keyresults and you're going to put
your key results into whichmonth you need to achieve them
by. The third thing is theweekly high performance top 10,
and this is what's going to keepyou in massive action mode that
Tony Robbins talks about eachweek on a Sunday. That's a good
time to do it. Maybe even, youknow, you can do this on a
(18:23):
Friday or a Saturday, dependingon when your week ends. So
whenever your week ends at thevery latest, you want to do this
first thing on a Monday morning,but ideally before that. But
whenever your week ends, you sitdown and you write down the
three things that you want toachieve next week, and then the
10 key things that you need todo to achieve those three
(18:45):
things, and then put them inyour diary. So you take each one
of those 10 things that you needto do, and you put them in your
diary so that they're scheduledin, ready to go, and you with no
way that you can miss doingthem. And once they're scheduled
in then you know that they'reset in stone, and you're going
to get them done. And then it'sjust about ticking them off as
(19:05):
you go throughout the week. Andyou should be aiming to get all
of them done at very minimum.
Eight to nine of them need toget done, because sometimes
things happen. We get that, andthey might need to be carried
over, or maybe you don't need todo the thing to get the result.
As Tony Robbins said, Don'tconfuse action with results, or
don't confuse movement withresults. So here's a little
(19:25):
level up you can do with thefuture focused vision. What you
can do is you can take yourwords on the long term, 10 to 20
year vision plan and your goalsfor what you want to achieve at
the end and actually put theminto pictures, go on to
Vistaprint, or go on to someprinting website, put the
pictures in and create a nicebig poster that you can put up
(19:47):
in your office or your bedroomor both or whatever, somewhere
in your house that you can seeevery single day. So that vision
and that thing that you want toachieve is not only in words
that you've written down. Them,but is also in pictures that
will stick in your mind everysingle day. So my challenge to
you, write down your futurefocus vision. So your long term,
(20:08):
10 to 20 year, medium term,three to five year and shorter
term, one year, write down whatthose goals are and share in the
comments what one of your longterm goals. I want to know what
your long term goals are, soshare in the comments what they
are. Just remember, successisn't random. It's built on your
terms. Using this framework,this framework is the game
(20:32):
changer. So again, take notes.
Feel free to download the PDF.
