00:00:00 — Four systems that keep you consistent with a goal

  • ★★★ Ali says one simple way to stay consistent with your goals is to build systems around them, which he thinks of in four ways: reminder, accountability, tracking and time blocking. — 00:00:00 · time-blocking
  • ★★ Ali's first goal system is a reminder of what the goal is: his vision board is his desktop wallpaper, and a daily journaling prompt has him write down his goals. — 00:00:00
  • ★★ Ali's second goal system is accountability, especially when you know you will struggle: a WhatsApp group with friends, or a coach or mentor you hold yourself accountable to. — 00:00:00 · WhatsApp
  • ★★ Students of Ali's Lifestyle Business Academy, building businesses for financial freedom, track in a Google Sheet every week their hours worked on the business, social media posts, sales conversations and sales, and submit it weekly. — 00:00:29 · Google Sheets, work optional
  • ★★ Ali's third goal system is tracking: seeing your numbers honestly, without lying about them, makes you massively more likely to achieve the goal. — 00:00:29
  • ★★ Ali's fourth goal system is time blocking: without containers of time for the work you probably will not reach a goal, so at the very least put a few calendar events, appointments with yourself, for that goal. — 00:00:58 · time-blocking
