The Goal Achievement Process
So how do you close the GAP?
That is the question.
The problem isn’t setting goals...
It’s achieving them.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
I’m going to teach you the Goal Achievement Process. That is how you’ll close the GAP between where you are and where you want to be.
Modern Musicians create their own economies.
Modern Musicians play The G.A.M.E. Of achieving their greatness.
Modern Musicianship is The G.A.M.E. of mastering your self, your career, your content, and your life.
It includes modern artist development, modern music marketing and modern operations management, as well as music business coaching, a battle buddy, and grassroots career development.
They play the G.A.M.E. which adheres to the laws of the universe, and many processes and practices for internal fulfillment and external achievement. One of the processes is the Goal Achievement Process. I’ve created it for you to not only set goals, but to achieve them.
In the Goal Achievement Process the first step is asking or blueprinting. Modern Musicians start by blueprinting their foundation from dream down to the runway tasks with a customized game plan or Road MAP, which stands for a Massive Action Plan.
Use the goal achievement process for Mastering all dimensions of your life, in order to live your best life and be your best self.
Step 1) Asking - Blueprinting - Setting Goals
This can be one of the most exciting experiences of your life from start to finish if you follow through and complete each stage.
The Purpose of blueprinting it is to clarify with the universe what you are asking for and also take a large and complex set of outcomes down into a sequential series of achievable targets, outcomes and objectives.
A complex amount of things can be reduced to chunks of the most important outcomes. For example my writing a book has a lot of core outcomes/reasons
The philosophy is that a thing is “good” or successful when it has all the required properties
We need to manually input the specifics required. A juicy red tomato. $27,000, bestselling book, etc.
The subconscious mind is like a GPS that we can use for our goal achievement, but we have to program the destination.
It’s like the ingredients of a meal, you need to clarify each ingredient as well as the outcome that the meal will produce in taste or satisfaction or joy or whatever your goals are.
E.g. So if we define all those properties of my book launch we can summarize it as:
Amazon, USA Today Bestseller To build transformative influence and authority to generate leads and sales and a brand that thrives all night 1000 true fans 100 music breakthrough sessions 20 partnerships 10 perfect clients
The GAME is living the good life, driving the dream, living into the blueprints, mastering your universe with the hand, head, heart, soul, and voice.
Modern Musicianship is the heart and science of success. It’s what, why, and how you do what you do. It’s the technology for achieving your success as an artist or creator. It’s knowing what you want and diligently pursuing fulfillment.
It’s elevating up the levels of consciousness on your journey to true self actualization, grassroots authentication, enlightenment, and complete liberation.
Your GAME is your inner and outer game, which starts with developing and optimizing your factors for success, your Identity, skills, habits, mindsets, your productivity, your energy, your influence. Your mental, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual, financial growth. The GAME is the grassroots authenticated music experience. The GAME of your Content Business.
The Game is played with Alignment and flow. The G.A.M.E is Growth and mastery, the journey to your optimal performance, paradise, and greatness.
The GAME is the development of your genius.
The GAME is multi-dimensional mastery. Growth and mastery in all areas of your life.
The GAME is the development of your potential
The GAME is project management and digital marketing and spirituality.
The GAME is your creativity, your performance, and your productivity.
The GAME is using your inner OS and your outer OS or The Modern Toolset to create your paradise
Modern musicians know that life, like the game, is built on fundamental laws and processes. One of those processes is The Goal Achievement Process. This is apart of GCD and the Music Business Development System I’ve built to liberate the music business. This is a career development pathway for growth and becoming your best.
With GCD Growth is the goal. The GAME is growth. It’s living in harmony with the Laws of life.
The heart of this process is really 3 main stages. Asking, Believing, Receiving.
Expanded it’s 1) Asking - Blueprinting - Setting Goals, 2) Believing - Building The House - Driving The Dream, and 3) Receiving - Living Into The Blueprints - Celebrating
In summation the three stages start with asking by blueprinting, blueprint your dream down to the runway of next action tasks, then once you have your blueprints you drive the dream and live into the blueprints.
With Modern Musicianship and Grassroots Career Development:
Happiness, Growth and fulfillment are the goals.
That said, their are two types of goals you need to understand.
The two types of goal: Outcome and Performance or Process Goals
The outcome goals/targets and the process or performance goals/targets
Outcome/Result vs. Performance/process goals Become a paid traffic expert - —> study the media buying mastery course and run campaigns Book published —— > book writing, editing, marketing, selling Best seller —— > partnership outreach and partnership sessions/proposal made 10,000 emails ——> daily social, paid, seo, podcast, 1000 true fans — > launching 3 products and patreon video for the campaign and promoting heavily 20 mission partnerships —> weekly outreach to potential partners, going to live events
Clarity and focus is the starting point. The first step 1a in the goal achievement process is is to write out your blueprints starting with your dream in paradise 3-5 years out, followed by your why, your purpose, from their you draw the vision and the desires, then your mission and mission statement, then your goals and objectives, then your projects and lastly your tasks. Now you know what, why, and how. Put them onto a standard index card(s) and put your what, why, and how onto a sheet of paper. Either put the index card in your pocket and form the habit of reviewing the card and thinking about your goal every day, or stick it on the coffee table or dinner table where you’ll see it everyday. I recommend rewriting your goals out everyday as you move closer to them. It will bring you more and more joy working on it.
1B in the goal achievement process is Define Metrics, Milestones and Tracking/Performance Measurement = First we have to break the goal down into metrics and milestones of what we want to achieve/outcomes and then we need to configure the performance goals or process. First we define the metrics, milestones, outcome and performance targets and how we are going to track performance and improve our chances of achieving our outcomes. Modern Musicians Track daily with logs, journal, and performance review. I want to secure 20 partnerships, outcome, so I will reach out to 400 potential partners each week for the next 10 months, the performance targets. Each new deal would be a milestone for the goal of 20 mission partnerships, each 100 new customers would be a milestone for achieving 1000 true fans. Another metric would be 50 new potentials added into my system, the pipeline, each week. Performance targets and milestones for this goal is to shoot for 10 emails per day.
So in review, Modern Musicians start with their Music Business Blueprints, the foundational blueprints being those you identify in your Dream To Runway Blueprints. When they get to their goals and objectives they first set outcome goals I.e. Launch a bestselling book, 1000 true fans, make 20 deals with mission partners, then they set performance goals like produce new content 5 days per week, collect 50 new potential fan email subscribers per week, email newsletter weekly, and outreach to 400 potential partners and book promoters on a weekly basis. To manage and create all media around and for the book I will need to be completing a body of content, a core volume of content including new content for the workbook a special report and creating a patreon video for a patreon campaign. All of the main goals are achieved with a strategy which are then turned into prioritized projects and tasks.
Modern Musicians set their goals into 90 day seasons, seasons or cycles of of working toward their dream They set Season Goals across artistic, entrepreneurial, and personal dimensions, then break those goals down into the strategy and the process for achieving them which forms the action plan roadMAP or what we call your Game PLAN with your goals, projects, and tasks.
The game plan is built on the goal achievement strategies that turned into projects and into the daily performance goals. This is all apart of the process of achieving your outcome goals.
This is how you Blueprint the path of your dream down to the runway and now you have the map for getting to your paradise.
The GCD Career Development Pathway is about raising your consciousness and becoming your best self, living your best life.
Once you’ve achieved your paradise, you continue your mission and life’s purpose with another
Goal, Skill, Project, Campaign, Problem or Cause
Modern musicians walk The path of Mastery. Don’t be a dabbler. Be a master.
Service to your audience
Modern Musicians understand that they are adding value to their audience and go to the next level to connect with and serve them. Grassroots Career Development inherently embodies this process and the next level of connection and relationship between artist and fan.
Happiness, Growth and fulfillment are the goals.
Now that you know what, why, and even how, you need to determine when.
Step 2 is Emotionally Connect to your reasons why and COMMIT to the process for having what you want with a Declaration and a Deadline.
For example. I will launch my book on July 4th 2021. You need to build and anchor emotional connections strong enough to engage and influence your passion on a daily basis. You have to really want it with all you have. This is what sets the wheels of the universe in motion. You need to emotionally connect to your dream and goals on a daily basis. When you install your goals with rich sensory imagery you can effectively motivate yourself on all levels and dimensions of growth. Once your goals are fully imprinted on your subconscious mind-you’ve activated the power of your inner OS to work on your behalf to pull the all the pieces into place and make manifest in your reality.
So now you know what, why, how and when.
Step 3 is where you Believe, and Drive The Dream. Focus, Affirm and Assume.
Now it’s time to convert desire to action and complete the mission. No matter what it takes. The real goal is to hit your daily dial targets each day and win each day, week, month, and quarter, make the breakthroughs, as well as stay out of the creative growth traps for optimal performance and productivity. Modern Musicians Complete the Mission. Focus on completing the mission and your daily dials. Each next mission, each next task or workblock, with complete engagement. Play full out. Embody the identity of someone who can achieve this goal. Daily connect to the goal and the dream and proactively take the steps on the path towards it’s realization. What we call your daily dials. For me it’s writing 200-500 words monday - friday and reaching out to 400 potential partners each week as well as emailing my subscribers and network, releasing a new podcast every other week and building up email subscribers Daily dials = writing, podcasting, emailing, networking, meditating, exercising
Modern Musicians are Focused on the process of desire, belief, expectancy, and taking continual action along the pathway. Remember that it’s a pathway to becoming your best self, so never lose sight of your unstoppable self concept.
In the Music Business Liberation Coaching and Training Academy step 3 is where we form your regimen and plug you into your Goal Positioning System for weekly progress tracking toward your goal.
Step 4 Accountibly Live into the Blueprints
Align consistently with your true self, your vision, and desires by journaling and meditating on your goal and your progress on a daily basis. Live into the blueprints is a phrase that means literally living into the blueprints of anything you desire, and are willing to go through the first 3 steps to get. Just like you’d live into the home you build the blueprints for, their is an external and internal component to your blueprints so consider the blueprints from every area of your life mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, financial, recreational, and your career mission. Get accountability. It’s one thing to have blueprints, but it’s another thing to live into them. That’s why you want to do this with accountability. You need a coach, an accountability partner we call your battle buddy, and a mastermind. You need a coach to guide you through the process. Align consistently with your true self, your vision, and desires by journaling and meditating on your goal and your progress on a daily basis. The game is about living in beautiful states doing what you love for those that love it. Where you vibrationally connect to what you want and are a good host for the good that you desire, and from that place live into the blueprints. Coming from an empowered place of confidence in your strengths and an unstoppable self concept are key.
Step 5 Momentum building, Celebration, and integration
Celebrate and reward the process with each victory. Count everything that moves you in the right direction as important. Adjust regimen and strategy until desired results are achieved. Most of the work is done in repeating steps 3-4. And You will achieve victories like hitting your daily dial targets each day and week that give you a sense of momentum and we want to integrate those wins by celebrating them. Do not skip this step.
The GAME is how you close the GAP. Your inner and outer game of developing greatness in your life and career. Modern Musicians play the GAME and stick to the Goal Achievement Process.
So there you have it. The process to achieve any goal you want all the way from the dream down to the runway of next action steps. If you live all the steps you will find an optimal structure to set and achieve the goals and dreams you have in your life. You have to blueprint the house you want to live into and then you have to build it, and then you have to LIVE into it. It’s a very straight forward practical process but that does not mean it’s easy. It’s simple, but it’s not easy.
