54 – Planning your way to property development success

Property Developer Podcast

Many people want to be successful, but success means different things depending on what you consider success to be. Getting clear on what you want to achieve in life will help you feel energised, inspired and fulfilled, so here’s a way to plan out your life. So, given the time of year, I thought it might be useful to put out an episode about planning, so I have called in a mate of mine who helps high achievers get even more out of life. Michael Johnson aka The Mojo Master shares his thoughts how you can get the most out of your life. If you are like me, you spend some time at the start of the year reflecting and thinking about what you would like to achieve in the year ahead. Not that it really matters what time of year you do it, as any time of year is just as good as any other to plan, ponder and reflect. Anyway, Mojo and me talk about how you can sit down and plan your life so that you can lead the life of your dreams. Mojo goes through the steps he takes with his clients to help them map out a path to success. We talk about the power of purpose, how values help define your success, what a mission statement is, and finally how you can set realistic goals that will help you achieve greatness. Just a word of warning, Mojo throws out some four letter words during this discussion, so if you need to pop the earphones in then do it now, otherwise enjoy this conversation about how you can plan to succeed in the coming year.

It certainly helped spark some ideas and thoughts for me. I thought I would just quickly recap what Michael covered, so he said he goes through 4 steps with people, First he asks people about their purpose. Why are they doing what they’re doing. What would they love to do in life. Second, he helps people understand their values. You can get clues about your values by the way you live, how you spend your time, how you spend your money, what you surround yourself with. And then create a list of those core values, as this will help you figure out what’s most important to you. Your values will guide your decision making. Step three, create your mission statement. This is where you start defining what your life is all about. What is your life going to look like. How are you going to do it? Your mission might expand and contract as you go through life. And start to think about how your values fit into it. Finally, start to set your goals. Set goals that will help you feel fulfilled. Avoid goals that are about proving yourself to others, but about what is going to fulfil your own purpose. Then break them down into three’s - daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly goals. And remember if you need accountability then you are not doing what you love. Purpose, values and mission statement So just to recap define you purpose, figure out your values, write your mission statement and set your goals. okay, I hope you find that helpful to setting some plans for the year ahead.
