- Finally, with the red pen, underneath each of the goals, list out all the negative/scary things you’ll have to deal with if you do achieve those goals in a way beyond your wildest dreams.
All of the stuff in red are the things you’re harboring in your subconscious, the things that you have inherently put into play to stop you from accomplishing your goals.
All of the things that you have in red are your fears.
As soon as you come to terms with the things in red, is when you’ll truly be able to accomplish your big lofty goals.
