Step 1: Define the Ultimate Goal (Your “Mission Objective”)

Your ultimate goal is your vision for the future. It’s bold, inspiring, and life-changing. No excuses, no half-measures. Make your vision all encompassing, include goals for your health, wealth and wellness.

Your vision should include 2-3 core goals, each goal will have individual outputs and milestones. If you find yourself overwhelmed or stuck, just pick one to zero in on. 

Examples:

• Run your first marathon within a year.

• Lose 20 lbs and build lean muscle in six months.

• Land your dream job in the next 12 months.

• Achieve financial independence by age 35.

Checklist for Your Mission Objective:

• Is it specific?

• Is it measurable?

• Does it challenge you?

• Is it time-bound?

Step 2: Break Down the Goal into Key Milestones

Milestones are your checkpoints along the way to the ultimate goal. Each milestone is a step forward, a mission completed, and undeniable proof you’re on track.

Examples for “Run Your First Marathon”:

1. Month 1: Build a base of 5k runs, three times per week.

2. Month 2: Increase distance to 10k and add strength training.

3. Month 4: Complete a half marathon.

4. Month 6: Tackle longer runs of 15-20 miles.

5. Month 12: Cross the marathon finish line.

Table: Sample Milestone Breakdown

MILESTONE	DEADLINE	KEY METRIC
Build a strong running base	Month 1	Run 10k comfortably at a 6:00/km pace.
Improve endurance	Month 3	Complete a 20k long run without stopping.
Sharpen speed and pacing	Month 5	Hit goal pace during 15k training runs.
Race day execution	Month 6	Finish marathon in 3:59:59 or less.

Step 3: Identify Actionable Steps for Each Milestone

For each milestone, break it down into actionable, specific tasks. No fluff. Every action must move you closer to your objective.

Example: Actions for Milestone 1 (“Build up to 10km at 6.00/km pace.”)

• Plan weekly running schedule.

• Invest in quality running shoes and gear.

• Track runs using a fitness app.

• Focus on consistent pacing and form.

• Incrementally increase pace.

Example: Actions for Milestone 2 (“Complete a 20km run”)

• Continue to build your base with a mix of mid and long distance runs.

• Progressively increase distance each week for longer runs.

• Focus on consistent pacing and form over longer distances.

• Test fuelling options on your longer runs with gels.

Checklist for Actionable Steps:

• Does the step contribute directly to the milestone?

• Is it realistic and achievable?

• Is there a deadline or schedule?

Step 4: Monitor and Adjust Regularly

Execution is where the plan becomes reality. Track your progress, measure results, and adapt as needed. There’s no room for complacency. Stay vigilant.

Tools for Monitoring:

• Weekly Check-ins: Review progress and adjust actions.

• Monthly Reviews: Assess milestone completion and realign as necessary.

• Tracking Metrics: Use apps, journals, or spreadsheets.

Table: Example Weekly Tracker 

METRIC	TARGET	ACTUAL	NOTES
Weekly Runs	3	2	Adjust schedule
Strength Training	2	2	On track
Calorie Intake	2,800/day	2,200/day	Refocus nutrition
Sleep	8 hours/night	6 hours/night	Improve bedtime routine

Step 5: Celebrate Wins and Stay Focused

Celebrate milestones, but don’t lose sight of the mission. What gets rewarded gets repeated, remember that. Recognise progress, then get back to work.

Examples:

• Treat yourself to new gear after hitting a fitness milestone.

• Share your progress with friends or on social media.

• Reward yourself with a small indulgence after consistent discipline.

Checklist for Celebrating Wins:

• Acknowledge your hard work.

• Share milestones with your community or support network.

• Use celebrations as motivation for the next goal.

Step 6: Keep the Mission Front and Center

Your mission is your driving force. Keep it visible and revisit it often. Stay locked in. No distractions. No excuses.

Daily Motivation:

• Write your goal somewhere you’ll see it daily.

• Start each day by reflecting on why you’re pursuing your mission.

• Stay motivated - Use podcasts, have your favourite quotes on hand, speak positively to yourself about your goals and your progress.
