HOW TO USE THE F-WORD TO GET WHAT YOU WANT

Published

How to Get What You Want

Imagine if you could get whatever your heart desired.  Like you possessed a key to always getting exactly what you wanted in life.

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT

If you had such a power, how different would things look in your life?  How much happier would you become?  How much livelier would your life be?

If such a likelihood was possible, would you want to know how to make it so?

If you answered yes, then keep reading.

Oh yes, my friend, you CAN have whatever you want in this life.

And I am going to be very generous today and tell you how.

If you’re ready to rock, let’s roll.

Here is one word that contains the secret to getting what you want in life.

The word is F@#!

That’s right, the big fat F-bomb is your key to getting what you want.

Now please don’t go getting all sensitive on me.

The F-bomb I am talking about is a dirty word, but it’s not the one you’re thinking of.

You ready for it?

The F-word that’s keeping you from getting what you want in your life is the word FINE.

FINE

This is the F-word that is blocking you from getting what you want.

This slick little word is keeping you from what you want because it allows you to settle.  It gives you an out, it allows you to be lazy, inactive, immobile.

Here’s how.

When you’re fine, you don’t have to do anything about it.

When you tell yourself that everything is fine in your life, you sedate your will, you sterilize your desires, and smother your dreams.

When your fine your blind.

Fine means you’re okay with average.  Fine means you’ll do something about your job, your goals, your dreams, your relationships, your money problems later.

But you know what, later may never come.

Strike that, I am going to be brutally honest with you.  Later is NEVER GOING to come!

Later doesn’t exist.  All that exists is now.

So here is how you use the F-word to start getting what you truly want now.

You say to yourself today, now, in this moment, and every new moment going forward….

Fu*k Fine, Fu*K Average, Fu*k Later!

That’s right, and then you go out and get what you want now!

If you are serious about getting everything you want in your life, you must DECIDE to go get it.

Simple huh?

But don’t let its simplicity deceive you.  Simple doesn’t mean easy, and simple doesn’t mean quick.

And this brings me to the next F-word you must come to terms with to get what you want.

Once you’ve stopped being okay with fine, and you’ve made a decision to go for what you truly want, you must find out how.

FIND OUT

You can have whatever you want my friend, but you must be willing to find out how to do or get that thing.

You can have more money, more happiness, a better job, your own business, deep and satisfying relationships… you can write your own book, build a tiny house, retire early, basically you can do and get whatever it is you really and truly want.

Here’s the thing, everything you want is out there waiting and wanting you to come and get it.

It’s all already out there.

What you want exists, and the know how to get what you want exists.

Your treasure is out there, it may seem hidden, but there are maps, countless maps.  Some of them are free, while others can be had for a small fee.

Want more money?  Easy, there a thousand blogs and books to tell you how to get more money.

You want a better relationship with your partner or spouse?  Boom!  Go to Barnes and Nobles, there’s a whole section dedicated to improving your relationships.

Not in a relationship, but want to be in one?  Easy peasy, download Bumble or Tinder, and find what you’re looking for with flick a finger.   Or you just get out more.  Either way, what you want is out there, you just have to decide to go get it.

Wish you could write a book?  You can.  If you get hung up on some aspect of the process, fire up YouTube or your favorite search engine, and boom, answers galore.

Want to know how to get a promotion, a new job, or how to start a new business?  There’s books for that too, and blogs and podcasts and government sponsored programs as well.  The resources are as endless as your desire to find them.

To get what you want, you first find out how.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll be a step closer to getting what you want.

But, there is one last piece to this puzzle.  Once last F-bomb.

This F-bomb is the most important of them all.

You ready for it?

FORCE

Once you’ve stopped being okay with mediocrity and being fine with living life in autopilot, you can make headway on getting exactly what you want in life.  Put in the time to find out how, then put what you learned into action.  And action, requires force.

Never forget, this is the most important step.  This step requires vigilance.  This step requires strength.  This step requires your full attention.

You can be done with the status quo, done with average, and know exactly how to get what you want, but if you never force yourself to do what is required to get what you want, you’ll never get it.

If you want more money, then find out how, but you don’t consistently force yourself to do what it takes bring it in, guess what?   It’ will never come in.

If you seek happiness, and you’ve discovered how to get more of it, but you don’t force yourself to take action on those new habits, guess what?  Your happiness will elude you.

You get the idea.  You need to force yourself to do daily what your desire demands of you, and each prize has it’s requirements.

You can have more money, more happiness, a better job, your own business, deep and satisfying relationships, but you must force yourself to do what it takes, daily.

If you must force yourself to do the uncomfortable, do the uncomfortable.

If you must force yourself to wake up early, wake up early.

If you must force yourself to learn more, learn more.

If you must force yourself to execute flawlessly, execute flawlessly.

Whatever you choose to go after, you’ll need to force yourself moment by moment to do what must be done, period.

Do this, and you will slowly, eventually, become victorious in getting what you want.

So, force yourself to get off you’re a** and make something happen.

Nothing is going to happen till you start moving and doing.  So, force yourself to take action.

FINAL WORDS.

You can get whatever you want in life.  Like I said earlier, the process is simple, but the undertaking is far from easy.  But if you really want what you want, you can get it.

To ensure you got everything, here is a little recap for you.  This is your recipe to start getting what you want in life.

  1. You stop being okay with FINE.  You kill average and kill “your fines” or they’ll kill the opportunity for you to get what you really want.  Then, go for what you want, now, because tomorrow isn’t promised.
  2. You FIND OUT how to get it.   Pick up a book(s), fire up the internet and start digging, or just get out of your shell and go hunting for your answers.  Once you find out the how, do this…
  3. FORCE yourself to do what it takes till you get it. Moment by moment, day by day.  It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.

And that’s that.

You now have a new key to get what you want in life.

So, get out there and start dropping some F-bombs, yo!

Then brace yourself for the explosion of fortune bound to come your way.

Till next time,

10 WAYS TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS IN 2026

Published

on

How to Achieve Your Goals

Setting goals is a crucial part of success. No matter what you want to achieve in life, be it in your career, relationships, or in business, identifying what you want to achieve and then making a plan to move toward that destination is one of the most important steps of all.

When you know what you want and the exact outcome you desire, you can then create a plan and take action to get there. This is why setting goals works. Extraordinary people are able to produce amazing results in life because they have a clear goal that they want to achieve in mind. They know what they want, and then they get to work on their goals, every single day.

With that being said, if you want to master yourself, achieve greater results in life, and ultimately make your dreams a reality, you’ll need to learn how to set and achieve your goals. So, here are the top 10 ways to achieve your goals in 2026. Enjoy!

Top 10 Ways To Achieve Your Goals This Year

Best Tips to Achieve Your Goals

1. Always Keep Your Goals in Your Mind

One of the most common reasons why some people fail at their goals while others succeed at them, is that those who successfully achieved their goals are really adept at keeping their goals top of mind.

Of course, this is easier said than done. But, it is backed up by the one of the most well-known success phrases of all-time…“You become what you think about most of the time”. It’s a phrase that conveys the fact that your life is organized around your thoughts. Hence, your dominant thoughts will determine how you will live your life.

If you always think about having not enough money, guess what, you will not be having enough money. You will find it hard to come up with extra money and there are always more days left at the end of the money.

Your thoughts dictate your life. Tony Robbins once said, “Where you focus goes, energy flows”, thus, if you always think about your goals and focus on them, that’s what you will create in your life. So, always choose to consciously think about your goals.

This is why you need to write down your goals, review them, visualize them, and see yourself achieve them. Make a vision board for your goals if you want to.

2. Make Sure Your Goals Align With Your Inner Values

Next up on the list of top 10 ways to achieve your goals is to ensure they align with your values. Yes, you have to make sure your goals align with your inner values. You don’t want to set a goal that is not in harmony with your values.

For example, if you are someone who values security more than adventure, setting a goal like traveling alone around the world may not work for you. Even if you force yourself to do it, you will not enjoy the progress and the experience.

Here’s another example, many people set income goals. And if money isn’t their main purpose, their goals will never work. They will find it hard to come up with the drive to put themselves into action and they will find ways to sabotage their own success.

This is what happens when your goals conflict with your values. Instead, learn to set goals that align with your inner values. Set goals that make your heart sing.

3. Make Your Goals Measurable

Are your goals measurable? Most people set very general and vague goals like, “I want to become rich”, or “I want to be happy”, etc., but these goals are vague, and they are not measurable.

Let me ask you, if your goal is to live a happy life, how do you know when you have achieved it? That’s the problem. When your goal isn’t measurable, you will never know when you have reached it.

So, make your goals quantifiable. Make them measurable so that you can tell when you have reached them. Plus, when something is measurable, you can then come up with a specific action plan to achieve it.

If your goals are not measurable, you will work day and night without knowing if you have reached them.

4. Identify the Lead Measures

Lead measure is an important measure of your goals. Most people focus on their main target or the results they want, but they don’t focus on their lead measures, and this is why they fail.

Your lead measures are the measures that directly impact the results of your goals.

For instance, if your goal is to lose weight, the two main lead measures are exercise and diet. How much time do you spend to exercise each week? And do you track your diet and calorie intake?

You see, these two measures will directly impact your goal of losing weight. If you want to achieve your goal, then all you need to do is to focus on the two lead measures: exercise and diet.

And you hit your exercise and diet target, you will automatically reach your weight loss goal.

Here’s another classic example. If you want to increase your sales, what should you do? You focus on prospecting and presentation. The more prospects you present to, the higher your number of sales. Therefore, the number of prospects you approach, and sales presentation you deliver are the two lead measures you must work on.

When you achieved your lead measure goals, you will achieve your main goal, which is to increase your sales. So, focus and work on the lead measures.

5. Focus on Making Progress

Next, don’t always think about your goals and the results, when it comes to maintaining your momentum, you need to focus on making progress.

As a blogger, one of my goals is to build a huge responsive subscribers list from my blog. But if I focus on the result, the number of subscribers I get each day, I’m going to fail. Why? When I first started, my blog is new and there are no visitors and subscribers.

So, if I think about my goal of having a ton of subscribers, I will feel dejected, lose my motivation, and eventually give up on my blog. Instead, I choose to focus on making progress.

I know that if I want to grow my subscribers, I will need to publish new articles consistently. Hence, I focus on publishing content. Every time I published a new article, I celebrate and reward myself. I feel good about it and it drives me to continue publishing new content.

And so, day after day, I make progress. And slowly, the number of visitors to my blog increases, and the same goes for my number of subscribers.

Can you notice the difference? Having a goal is important, but to achieve your goal, you need to make progress. Hence, it is more important to focus on the progress than to only think about your goals and do nothing.

Let your progress motivate you and get you to your goals.

6. Work on Improving Yourself Every Day

There is no way you can achieve your goals if you don’t improve yourself. You are where you are because of what you know and what you do. If you want to get to a new place, you need to do something different, and that requires you to improve yourself.

I love to give an example of playing games. If the character in your game is at level 3 and you need to fight a level 5 enemy, you will find the enemy difficult to beat. But as you play the game, gain better experience, and level up your character, say to level 8, the same level 5 enemy will be easy to beat.

Therefore, work on improving your level. When the size of you increase, the problem will become a small problem.

It is the size of you that matters, not the size of the problem. If you think you are having a big problem right now, it is because the size of you is small. You must learn to improve yourself so that the problems become no problem for you.

7. Set Goals That Are Fun and Exciting

Think about it, if something isn’t fun or exciting, will you have the motivation to achieve it? Obviously, the answer is no. But unfortunately, that’s what most people do. They set goals that are not fun or exciting to them.

You have to understand that if you want to achieve your goals, your goals must be fun and exciting so that you will want to wake up each morning and work on them. If your goals are boring and uninspiring, you will choose to continue to sleep than to wake up and chase them.

Set a goal that makes your heart sing. Be passionate about your goals and make sure you are excited when you think, talk, and work on your goals.

8. Make Your Goals Challenging

Besides making your goals fun and exciting, you must also make them challenging. Why? Because that’s the only way you can grow.

You see, Albert Einstein once said, “A ship is safe at the harbor, but that’s not why it is built for.” Your life is meant to be fun, exciting, and challenging. You want to live a remarkable life, isn’t it? Hence, make your goals challenging.

Think about it, if you are currently earning $5,000 a month, making an additional $100 isn’t going to make you jump out of your bed in the morning. What you want is to have a goal that is challenging and inspiring.

You want your goals to force you out of your comfort zone so that you can grow and become someone better, and worthy of the goals.

9. Take Baby Steps Each Day

It doesn’t matter how big your goals or how difficult they are, as long as you take baby steps and make progress each day, you will eventually get to your goals.

The key is in making progress every day. You can’t achieve your goals by thinking about them, you need to do something.

There is a saying, “If you swing the ax five times, every day, eventually the tree will fall.” Yes, no matter how big the tree, if you just swing an ax at it just five times a day, it will eventually fall.

The same principle applies to your life and your goals. As long as you take action and persist in working on your goals every day, you will eventually arrive at your destination.

Therefore, be consistent. Commit to taking at least 5 baby steps each day, and trust me, you will achieve your goals faster than you thought possible.

10. Believe in Your Goals and Trust Yourself That You Can Do It

Last up on this list of the 10 ways to achieve your goals is related to belief. You need to believe in your goals and trust yourself that you can do it. First, you must believe that your goals are possible. And second, you must trust that you can achieve them.

When you truly believe you can achieve your goals, you will do whatever it takes to reach them. Think about why people buy lottery tickets. Well, it is because they believe that they stand a chance to win, right? If you don’t believe you stand a chance to win, you will never bother buying the lottery ticket.

The same goes for your goals. When you believe that you can achieve them, you will do it with a 100% commitment rather than a half-hearted attempt.

Therefore, believe that your goals are possible and trust that you can achieve them.

Conclusion

There is no way you are going to achieve your goals if you all you do is sit there and do nothing. Reading this article is good because it helps you understand what you need to do to achieve the results you want, but until you implement the knowledge and take action, nothing is going to happen.

“Dream Big, Start Small, But Most Of All, Start.”
