0:00:29 - (Kevin Lowe): And with each mile marker that you tick off, well, all of a sudden, the finish line, it comes into view, my friend, today's finish line, well, that's your own personal vision, which we talked about inside of episode number 267. Today, we're taking that to the next level, because today, I'm helping you to make that personal vision your new reality. And that is with the power of mile markers, my friend. If you're ready for the race, I'm ready to get you to the finish line.
::
0:01:49 - (Kevin Lowe): Well, my friend, you can pretty much call today's episode the no excuse zone, because I am on a mission to get you to where you want to go, to get you to that finish line, or in relation to what we're kind of more talking about, I'm on a goal to help you to make your future vision a reality. Last week on episode 267, we really dove in to what exactly your own personal vision is and how you can create that vision.
::
0:03:13 - (Kevin Lowe): All you have to do is text the word rise rise to 33 seven seven. Again, simply text the word rise to 33 triple seven and you can download your free personal development tracker. If texting isn't your style, well, of course, check out today's show notes where I will leave a link so that you can download the tracker that way as well. So before we get any further into this topic, I guess we need to figure out the first part.
::
0:04:21 - (Kevin Lowe): Those are the big moments on that mountain that, you know, oh man, if I can get past this one, I know I'm doing good. That's what I'm talking about when I'm talking about milestones. And the power of these milestones, low, of course, is that they help you to be sure that you are indeed on track. Because in life, it is so easy for us to get caught up in so many different things, to veer off in different directions, and to lose sight of what our ultimate vision really is.
::
0:05:26 - (Kevin Lowe): And how are we going to do that? Well, we're going to get smart about it. We're going to look at your ultimate vision and we're going to figure out what exactly needs to happen for that all to come true. These milestones, they are achievable, they're timely, and they are specific. I always like to give many different examples. So if one lands better for you than another, a way to think about these are you're on a road trip, and these milestones, well, they're the little stops you make along the way.
::
0:06:38 - (Kevin Lowe): Well, what has to happen in order for you to be able to quit your job and to start that business? Well, one milestone might be you launching the website for your new business venture. Another milestone may be you getting the licenses you need for that business. And maybe your third milestone is finally saying cyanora to your boss and embarking on your own entrepreneurial journey. Like I said, the milestones I'm referring to are big.
::
0:07:48 - (Kevin Lowe): Because to be honest, I don't know about your life, but my life is typically never smooth sailing. The things that I am planning to do, oh, man, it ends up being a total train wreck to get there. But if it's something that I have my mind set on, if it's my own personal vision, well, baby, you can bet that I'm going to fight with blood, sweat and tears to make that come true. So therefore, you need a game plan for when things get tough along the way.
::
0:08:58 - (Kevin Lowe): Because, well, they're your dreams. They're nobody else's. So therefore, I don't want anybody trying to knock you down or to make you think that your personal vision is something that you can't actually achieve. So part of the game plan, you need some support it's why people hire me as a coach, to be there as accountability, to be there as a support system to help them through the hard times. So get that support you need.
::
0:10:03 - (Kevin Lowe): And that, my friend, well, that's the power of the journey, the journey of life. And that is what makes achieving that personal vision so darn rewarding. I am a big believer in celebrating our victories. That's the other power of breaking down your personal vision into milestones, is that you have many opportunities to celebrate, to remind yourself of why you're doing what you're doing by rewarding yourself, whatever that looks like for you.
::
0:11:12 - (Kevin Lowe): Nobody can be a better cheerleader for you than you. I also encourage you to spend some time to reflect back on the journey you've been on. With each milestone you reach, I want you to look back and I want you to take note of the journey you've been on. Reflect on the good times and the bad. Reflect on what went right and what went totally wrong that way. Maybe that will help you when you move forward.
::
0:12:29 - (Kevin Lowe): We've been through a lot in this episode and last week of this idea of creating your own personal vision. And then today we're talking about breaking down that vision into achievable milestones to help you get there a little bit faster, a little bit easier. I just want you to remember that even though this all seems really big, and maybe you're listening to me and you're thinking, wow, I don't even know what he's talking about. All sounds great, but, my gosh, when I think of what it's going to take for me to get to where I want to go, it just seems too daunting.
::
0:13:42 - (Kevin Lowe): So, with all of that said, that pretty much wraps up today's episode. I will give you a little preview into what we're covering next week in episode 271. And that is aligning what you do with what you love. Why are we talking about that? Well, because I'm all about helping you to have a life of fulfillment, and I believe when you align what you do with what you love, with what your passion is, well, that is where fulfillment takes place.
::
0:14:53 - (Kevin Lowe): I want to be sure that whatever that is, that it is in alignment with who you are, what you love, and what your passions truly are. And my last words of encouragement are this. If you are feeling stuck with this entire idea, I want you to do a powerful exercise. I want you to count backwards from 554321, act whatever it is that's weighing heavy on your mind. I want you to give yourself a five second countdown and then I want you to take action.
