How to Crush Your Goals

How to Crush Your Goals


Have goals but don't know how to go about reaching them? 
This article will give you some tips to reach that goal you always dreamt of rehearing. But of course only reading this would not help you reach your goal. You have to actually put in the work and work towards your goal, one step at a time.


  • Refine your objective
Be specific about your goals. Know exactly what you want when planning your goals. 

Let’s say your target is to get in the best shape of your life, but what does that really mean?  Well it might mean deciding that you are going to run a 5k, because you know that you will have to start getting in great shape to actually run that 5k and not die.

  • Be prepared to push hard through the finish line.

While working hard may sound painfully obvious, many people aren’t fully aware of the effort it takes to accomplish hefty goals. 

Look at how many startups raise mullions of dollars in seed funding and then disappear the following year. The founders had the vision and funding -- but they didn’t work hard enough to reach their goals. You could have the best idea and an endless supply of capital, but if you aren’t ready to put in nonstop hard work failure is almost certain.


  • Know that failure is a possibility.
Understand that failure is inevitable. Don't fear failures, embrace them. Learn from your failures. 

A successful person would rather fall flat on his or her face then ask themselves, “I wonder what would have happened if I tried that?” If you fail, you use it as a valuable lesson and try again.

  • Don't make excuses.
When you start to drift off course and make excuses, your goal becomes harder to reach. So don't stop before you accomplish your goals.

Successful people don’t slow down to question themselves and they don’t make excuses. They believe they can accomplish the goal and they never disturb their momentum.

  • Be willing to sacrifice.
Accomplishing difficult goals require sacrifice. Everyone will have different sacrifices to make, which could include sleep, personal time, family time, pay and security. This can be uncomfortable to some, and it will get more uncomfortable as you go deeper in -- but without risk there is no reward. 

  • Treat yourself
After you accomplish your goal, treat yourself. For the amount of hard work you had put in to achieve that goal, you deserve it. 

Believe it or not, this is important, this is the part that will keep you motivated and keep you excited and enthusiastic about continuing to CRUSH your goals for years to come.

5 Steps to Being Productive

5 Steps to Being Productive Firstly, What is being Productive? Productivity is often describes a person's capability to do a lot of work, but is can refer to anything that produces a lot. A Productive day would mean to complete more things in a less amount of time but also doing it effectively.   Productivity is the amount of output produced per work hour. In other words, the calculation is: Productivity = output / work hours. Here are some points to remember, Sleep. Sleep more. I know it can be tempting to stay up at night to do whatever do but you would wake up the next day feeling more exhausted. Its hard to be productive while yawning and trying to stay awake. I suggest you have at least 6-8 hours of sleep a day. It will also be better if you regulate your sleeping schedule and sleep at the same time everyday even if it is the weekends and also wake up at the same time if possible. Plan out your week.  It’s extremely important to plan you...
