Hello friend,
I trust you are on the path to living an excellent life.
It may sound like wishful thinking, but your goals can absolutely become realities — not dreams! The key difference is that you're actively working toward them instead of just hoping.
Here are three tips to make that happen:
1. Get Clear
You need laser clarity on what you want to achieve. Clear goals are easier to accomplish.
Instead of saying, “I want to save a lot of money,” say, “I want to save $1,000 in 3 months.”
Look at your current goals. Remove any vagueness and make them crystal clear.
2. Use a Structured Approach to Set Goals (Like SMART Goals)
In my first newsletter, (I shared the link towards the end of this letter) I explained the SMART method of Goal setting — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. SMART goals simplify the process and keep you accountable.
Here’s an example: “I will launch a bi-weekly newsletter on personal excellence and send out the first issue by September 7th, dedicating 4 hours each week to content creation and community engagement to build my brand.”
Review your goals once again and apply these five elements of SMART Goals. It’ll make taking action much easier..
3. Be Consistent
Achieving your goals takes time and effort. Think of it like planting a seed — it won’t sprout immediately, but with consistent watering and sunlight, it will grow. Keep working, and soon your goals will come to life.
If you missed my very first letter, you can read it here.
This wraps up our Goal Setting theme for the month. Next month I’ll be sharing how to build healthy habits and I’m excited about that.

My YouTube channel is live! I've just uploaded a short 4-minute video where I walk through my entire goal-setting process, with two practical examples you can start using in your daily life.
I'd love for you to watch, subscribe, and share your thoughts. I’m confident you’ll find it helpful!
Also, feel free to tell any friends passionate about excellence to subscribe to this newsletter.
Stay excellent! ✨
