B y taking the time to create a clear vision of your ideal future and plan-
ning your way there for a few minutes every day, your chances of success
are infinitely greater. In fact, you simply aren’t likely to get what you want
from life without doing this.
Without a vision you will lack purpose and commitment. Without a plan
your vision will remain nothing more than a dream.
That is why your Phoenix Journal provides space for you to construct a
vision of your ideal long-term future, your future one year from now, and
your vision for the next twelve weeks.
After writing your visions, you will create a set of goals based on your twelve
week vision.
Over the next several pages you will be exposed to a few of the principles
that underlie your Phoenix Journal and how to use it.
By doing this it becomes much easier to focus on the short term without losing sight of the
big picture.
You will also be asked to write a vision of a future that you fear. This may sound daunting,
but it is important because the promise of reward is not the only force that motivates us.
Knowing the negative consequences of giving into your weaknesses and not living up to
your commitments will serve as an additional incentive to take necessary action.
There is room to set four 12 week goals. These goals are your priorities. If you have
other things that you would like to achieve in the near term then that is perfectly fine.
You can arrange for these goals on both the weekly planning pages and the undated
calendar pages.
Use the small white box to the left of “day” to write the date of the month.
These pages will serve as a great reference for when you are planning out your week and
your day.
Remember to set at least an extra 15 minutes aside in the morning or evening for the days
that you will be doing your weekly planning.
5. Plan your day.
With a long term vision and a plan to achieve your twelve week goals, you are now armed
to take action towards your dreams on a daily basis. Set aside at least 15 minutes each day
to design not only a day that brings you closer to your goals, but a day that you are excited
to live.
While there may be days that your schedule can become daunting, on the whole your
schedule should look like a day that you would be happy to live - for both your present and
future self.
The plan that you make for yourself shouldn’t be seen as your master, but as a companion
on your journey towards the life that you want.
6. Repeat steps four and five until you have achieved your 12 week
goals.
By completing these steps, you will not only have a sense of clarity about what you want
and why, but you will know how to get there.
The majority of people go through their lives making decisions in reaction to circumstances.
It is your responsibility to define your life before your life defines you.
Remember that greatness comes with patience, vision, and discipline. Whether or not you
achieve your goals, true success lies in having the courage to live up to your own word.
Desire
Action =
Distance to Outcome
When faced with the decision between a salad and ice-cream, even if you want to lose
100 pounds, the ice cream will often win because the Distance to Outcome (the taste
of the ice cream) is almost zero.
Because your reward for eating the salad is 100 pounds away - you have placed
yourself at too great of a distance from the desired outcome to compete with the
ice-cream.
But what if you had a goal that week to lose one pound? That ice-cream suddenly
becomes a lot less desirable. The salad looks like it’s about to win.
Now, what if in addition to your goal for the week you had a goal for that day to eat
only 1600 calories? The salad becomes a no brainer.
If you eat that ice-cream you will fail to live up to your daily goal, which if repeated
will cause you to fail your weekly goal, which if repeated will cause your vision of
losing 100 pounds and becoming a fitness model to become a distant dream.
That is why having daily, weekly, and 12 week goals aligned with your vision is so
essential. Suddenly you can feel the weight of your moment by moment decisions.
Everything that you do adds and compounds into either your dream life or a self-sab-
otaging nightmare.
If you realize that there will never be a time outside of this moment to act in align-
ment with your full potential, then you will have discovered the key to greatness. The
Phoenix Journal is designed to help you appreciate the gravity of the moment.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A CLEAR
VISION AND A POWERFUL WHY BEHIND IT
It is essential that your goals are grounded in a vision. This vision needs to be clear and
it needs to have a powerful purpose, or why, behind it.
So, wanting to lose 100 pounds because you want to look better is a good start, but it’s
probably not enough. To really give your goal power, explain how it will affect as many
areas of your life as possible if accomplished:
“If I lost 100 pounds I would feel more attractive, confident, and energetic. This would
allow me to play with my kids more and live old enough to see them grown. My wife/
“
husband and I would have an improved love life. I would finally have enough energy
to start my own business on the side instead of just watching television. I could join my
friends on their annual ski trips…
On and on you can go, the point is that by integrating your goal’s impacts with the rest
of your life you give it more emotional fuel.
In addition, to really make the vision that you create life-changing and action-provoking,
adding specificity is crucial.
Instead of just saying that you want to lose 100 pounds, find somebody the same sex
and height as you that has your ideal body. Get an idea of how much they weigh and
write it down. If they weigh 80 pounds less than you but have about 20 pounds more
muscle, stick to losing 100 pounds and then say that you will put on 20 pounds of muscle
afterwards.
However, it is important to remember that while having an end result in mind is a great
motivator, the single most important thing is the process. The process is where freedom
and happiness reside. Your vision guides you through the present like a compass. No
matter how far away your destination is, your compass is always pointing right in front
of you.
In order to create a powerful vision and goal, try to connect it as tangibly as you can with
the four main categories of life: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

TWELVE WEEK GOAL SETTING
Implicit within your vision for your ideal life should be goals that you can actively strive
for and reach on a daily, weekly, and twelve-week basis.
If you are aiming to become the best possible version of yourself, then you need to
improve your health, emotional state (relationships), financial situation, and spiritual
development.
These areas are essential to your happiness and your goals should take you further in
each of them.
Let’s say that you are in a financial rut and not only do you want to get out of it, but
you have a vision of a future with no debt, complete financial freedom, and your dream
car parked in front of your dream house (all completely paid for). Needless to say, this
vision is going to take work. Smart work. Work guided by a plan.
In order to reach this vision you first need to pay off your debt. So, you decide that one
of your twelve week goals is to get out of debt.
The reason that your Phoenix Journal has you set twelve week goals (instead of yearly)
is because it makes it much easier to commit. Twelve weeks is enough time to transform
your life substantially (unlike a month) without the fear of draining your life away if
you wish to change directions.
In addition, setting your deadline for tweleve weeks creates a sense of urgency that a
yearly goal simply cannot. This urgency makes procrastination an immediate threat to
your ambitions.
After setting this twelve week goal, you make a plan in your twelve week overview that
shows how much needs to be paid off each week in order to emancipate yourself.
Let’s say that you have $6,000 in debt. That means it will take $500 a week or $72 a
day to pay off your debt in twelve weeks.
So, you now have a daily, weekly, and twelve week goal.
After gaining this knowledge you are ready to create a plan composed of key actions
that will bring you to your weekly goal.
For more information about goal setting and the logic behind twelve-week goals, read
The Twelve Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington.
KEY ACTIONS
Key Actions are the actions that are absolutely essential to achieving your goals.
So, if you need to save $72 a day, creating a budget should be your first key action.
This budget may require you to cook for yourself, make more sales calls, and stop
spending money on your favorite app.
Now you have your goals and key actions for each day:
• Cook my own food
• Make x number of sales calls
• Spend nothing on my favorite app (or stop playing it altogether)
• Save $72
If you accomplish these tasks and goals each day you will successfully get out of debt
and have taken your first big step towards your dream life.
Here is what this would look like under the “Your Twelve Week Goals” section:
Now, there are two critical things that you must measure. The first is execution. On a
daily basis, ask yourself - “Did I execute? Did I live up to my commitments?”
By answering this question at the end or beginning of every day, you can hold yourself
accountable and retrospectively assess whether or not commitment was the root of
your failure or success.
In your Phoenix Journal you can keep track of your execution by putting a check or
an X in the boxes to the left of your key actions.
At the end of the week, by adding up the number of key actions that you executed and
dividing it by the total number of key actions that you could have executed, you can get
a percentage of how often you executed what you said you would (which is recorded in
the upper right corner of your weekly pages, next to the date). By making a conscious
effort to improve this percentage over time, you can gradually become a person with
the strength that comes from knowing you will keep your word.
The second thing that you must measure is the outcome of your execution. This allows
you to see whether or not your actions themselves are effective.
If you are trying to lose weight, you can measure your current weight. This is an
outcome measurement and it indicates progress resulting from consistently taking
action over time.
□

□
Your key actions may not always yield an outcome that is easy to define, and that is
okay. The key is to consistently execute so that you can use feedback (your outcomes)
to indicate the necessary adjustments in your action.
The Importance of Habits
Your thoughts precede your actions. Your repeated actions create your habits. Your
habits create your life.
It is your habits that ultimately develop your health, wealth, and relationships.
If you get into the habit of going to sleep and waking up at consistent times,
exercising regularly, and eating the right foods - your levels of mental clarity,
energy, and focus will advance tremendously.
If you get into the habit of spending a few hours of unconditional time with
your family and loved ones every day, your relationship with them will improve
dramatically.
If you get into the habit of setting aside a few hours for deep work every day,
your work success will progress exponentially.
This is where focus is crucial. Every day that you repeat an action you are
rewiring your brain and making it easier and more desirable to repeat. This
becomes especially true as you begin to see the impacts that these positive actions
bring to your life.
Using the habits tracker every day to make sure you stay on target will allow you
to keep yourself accountable.
Simply write how many days of the week you want to take a specific action /
habit in the “Aim” column of the weekly habit tracker, and put a checkmark
underneath the days that you executed. At the end of the week, write your total
number of days executed underneath the column.

The Importance of Rhythm
Often people have all of the necessary motivations to succeed, but they burn
out and sacrifice consistency as a result. Making sure that you get regular sleep,
periods of reflection, time with your family, and times of leisure will keep you
from burning out and add a rhythm and pacing to your life that is optimal for
growth.
Not only will this rhythm help you grow, but it is ultimately what will ensure
that you lead a fulfilling life. Without love and health - wealth means nothing.
Without health we cannot love others fully.
You must ensure that within your schedule there is a proper amount of time set
aside to take care of your health and be with your loved ones.
Additionally, setting the time aside every day to meditate, to reflect, and to
use your Phoenix Journal will establish a focus and clarity in your mind that is
crucial to success. By spending just a few minutes every morning reading and
touching base with your future visions, you will set your focus and intentions
in alignment with these aims. This is important because our aims manifest our
reality.
To learn more about the life-changing impact that habits and rhythm will have
on your life and how to incorporate them, read The Miracle Morning by Hal
Elrod and The Rhythm of Life by Matthew Kelly.
Your Commitment
In the beginning, your Phoenix Journal will take some time. It is necessary that
you set aside at least an hour for each of the beginning sessions: A Vision of Your
Ideal Future, A Future that You Fear, Your One Year Vision, Your Twelve Week
Vision, Your Twelve Week Goals and Key Actions, and Your Weekly Targets will each
take considerably more time to create than what is required on an average day using
your Phoenix Journal.
After you have finished setting the stage for the next twelve weeks, commit to setting
10 minutes aside every day to work on your journal. You can do it in the morning,
at night, or both.
Your initial commitment is key to making this a life-changing investment. Once you
begin to feel the progression and momentum that builds in your life from consistent
and purposeful action, you will enter a positive feedback loop where commitment
is natural.
First you need to take the plunge.
Below, write the following promise and sign your name to guarantee your dedication,
and ultimately, your success.
“I, (your name), vow that I will be a (Man/Woman) of my word. I will not treat my
time as a commodity. From this moment on I will endeavor to be the greatest I can
be for myself, my loved ones, and the world. I give my word to make time for this
journal every day until it is completed, and in doing so bring to life my dreams, my
purpose, and my highest potential.”

A VISION OF YOUR FUTURE
It’s time to write out your vision for the best future you can imagine in 3 to 5 years. A
future that only exists in your wildest dreams. It should even be a little scary to think
about. Do not worry if it sounds unrealistic. Simply ask yourself: “What do I want out of
life?”
What do you want to excel at? What kind of habits do you want to get rid of and what
kind of habits do you want to create? Where will your health be? What do you want
your social life to look like? What will you do in your leisure time? What do you want
your family life to be like? Where do you want to be financially and in your career?
What qualities do you admire that you would like to take on? What would you do if you
weren’t afraid? Who will you become?
Taking the time to free-write a rough draft somewhere else first is recommended.
Remember to give your answers purpose by connecting them with their impact on other
areas of your life.

Mastery program at myphoenixplanner.com.
A FUTURE THAT YOU FEAR
While it may be unpleasant to write about, it is necessary to acknowledge what can
happen in your life if you don’t live up to your commitments.
What does the worst possible future (within reason) look like to you?
Who would you be? What is the status of your health, financials, and relationships?
YOUR ONE YEAR VISION
Based on your long-term vision, where do you want to be one year from now?
Be more specific but still be courageous. Your vision should be powerful enough to where
you feel nervous and excited to think about it.
What would a great personal, professional, emotional, and relational life look like and
why? Who will you become?
YOUR TWELVE WEEK VISION
In alignment with your ideal future, what do you want from life in the next twelve weeks?
Be courageous yet realistic. Allow your vision to challenge you without making it impos-
sible to reach in twelve weeks time. Be specific.
What would you do if you weren’t afraid? What do you want to excel at? What do you
want to learn? What kind of habits do you want to have or be rid of? What will your
social life look like? What will you do in your leisure time? What will your family life
look like? What will your financial and career situation be? How will your character have
improved? Who will you become?
