Becoming world famous for your work should be a Goal. It raises our sights for the highest possible achievement and allows us to use it as a measure of our activities. We should have a long-term plan, and intermediate plan, a short-term plan and daily goals. These are like drawing dots between two distances so that you could draw a straight line between them.
Peak Performance is about creating the Vision and then the Beliefs, Strategies, Action Plan, and Daily Goals as dots to get you from A to Z. Peak Performance could be used for a one year, five-year, ten year and lifetime goal. Becoming world famous might be a ten-year goal or a lifetime goal. The idea is to have all your steps going in the right direction and being able to measure them against your goals so that you don't get off course or more importantly, distracted by new shiny objects.
Staying on Course is not easy as we get involved in the daily processes and can so easily lose track of our Big Vision. Becoming World Famous should be like an affirmation that uplifts us with the possibilities and gives us reason to trudge through what we sometimes think of as drudgery work. I prioritize and time manage to that I always think I am working on my most important tasks. I push aside lesser tasks until I have spent my energy on the most important tasks.
Working in Ultradian Rhythms in which we work on the most important tasks when our energy is highest is important for Peak Performance. I plan a list for each day of what is most important for me to move forward. I create my morning high energy period with a great morning routine of a cold shower, stretches, burpees, and light weights. I create my second work period with taking a break to bike ride, teach, coach, or other responsibilities. Then after my second intense work period, I take another break that would prepare me for an evening work period.
I always have in mind becoming World Famous, my five-year goal, my one-year goal, my quarterly goal, and my daily goal. I have lots of balance because I prioritize self-care to create my intense work periods. Each day has big relaxation or diversion breaks to optimize productivity, reduce stress, and minimize burn out. With the right daily rhythms, you could work 7 days a week as I have in some projects, but I usually like to slow down on the weekends.
I created this Marketing and Action Plan for myself, but you could easily model it for your own field of work. I start with a the right question.
I am a Personal Development Coach. What do I have to do to become world famous?
Becoming world-famous in the field of personal
development coaching involves a combination of skill development, strategic
marketing, and consistent effort over time. Here are several steps that could
help you achieve this goal:
Master Your Craft: Continue to deepen your knowledge and
skills in personal development. Stay current with the latest research,
methodologies, and tools. Consider obtaining certifications from recognized
coaching organizations.
Develop a Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Identify what
sets you apart from other personal development coaches. It could be your
methodology, your personal story, your specific niche, or your approach to
coaching. Your USP will be a cornerstone of your marketing efforts.
Build a Strong Online Presence: Create a professional
website and active social media profiles. Share valuable content regularly,
such as articles, videos, and tips that resonate with your target audience.
Utilize SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to increase your visibility online.
Publish Content: Write a book, start a blog, or
contribute articles to well-known publications. Publishing insightful content
not only establishes your expertise but also expands your reach.
Speak Publicly: Engage in public speaking at events,
conferences, and workshops. This not only increases your visibility but also
allows you to demonstrate your expertise and connect with a wider audience.
Network and Collaborate: Build relationships with other
professionals in your field and related fields. Collaborations can lead to new
opportunities and increased exposure.
Leverage Media and Public Relations: Getting featured in
media outlets can significantly boost your profile. Hire a PR professional to
help you pitch your story or your unique insights to newspapers, magazines, TV,
and radio.
Offer Something Unique: Develop a signature coaching
program or workshop that is distinctly yours. This could be a program that you
can deliver online to reach a global audience.
Get Testimonials and Case Studies: Success stories and
testimonials from your clients can be incredibly persuasive. Make sure to
collect and showcase these on your website and in your marketing materials.
Continuously Engage Your Audience: Maintain a regular and
engaging dialogue with your audience through newsletters, emails, social media,
and interactive webinars. This helps build a loyal community around your brand.
Remember, becoming world-famous is not just about being recognized—it's about making a significant impact. Your success will ultimately be measured by the value you deliver and the lives you positively change.
I hope this outline might give you some inspiration and a guideline to set up your own plan and begin to institute it in your short-term goals.
