How To Get Anything You Want In Life In Just 3 Simple Steps

 How To Get Anything You Want In Life

These three fundamental steps are key to achieving success at anything in life. So if you’re wondering how to get anything you want in life, make sure you check this out below to fully understand the power of following these three steps…

“Dean Holland here of course. Thank you for taking this journey with me all the way to Internet Profits HQ. It is 7:50 am and the sun is shining.

I want to share with you today how you can accomplish anything, literally.

If you want…

  • to get rich?… I’m gonna tell you how to get rich.
  • to have more freedom?… I’m gonna tell you how to have more freedom.
  • more security?… I’m gonna tell you how to have it.
  • more fun?… I’m gonna tell you how to have it.
  • to provide more?… I’m gonna tell you how to do it.
This Is Pretty Straightforward, But Most People Struggle With It
This Is Pretty Straightforward, But Most People Struggle With It

If you simply want to do anything and everything in your life?… Right now, I’m gonna give you the three tips to accomplishing anything. A three step process to being able to do anything you want in the world, in your life. For you, your family, your loved ones, your friends, your associates, whoever, right?

How To Get Anything You Want In Life In Three Steps

This is pretty straightforward as well. But yeah, most people struggle with it. I know I used to. For a long time in my life I struggled to get anywhere. I said that I wanted to…

  • be able to quit my job that I hated.
  • get out of that job and run my own business.
  • work from home or have the freedom or flexibility to work anywhere.

Yet I wasn’t doing it. I wasn’t getting there, I wasn’t accomplishing anything. In fact, I was going backwards. So why? And how have I been able to turn that around now? To basically have – not everything that I want today – but I’m working on it still.

If Your Dreams Don't Shock Your Friends, They're Not Big Enough
If Your Dreams Don’t Shock Your Friends, They’re Not Big Enough

But I’ve certainly ticked off a lot of what I wanted to accomplish. So here’s how it’s done…

Step Number One To Accomplishing Anything You Want In Life…

…is to set the intention. To actually say what you want, and not be afraid by what other people might tell you.

Y’know, I heard something rather interesting yesterday. Somebody said in an audio I was listening to, “If you can tell your friends your dreams and they are not shocked, they’re not big enough. They’re not ‘out there’ enough.” Interesting, right?

So, set an intention is step number one. Say what you want to do. Set your intention, make a statement, set an intention of exactly what you want in your life.

Step number two: Create a plan. Setting an intention is the one that most people are okay with. Everybody’s pretty okay most of the time with saying what they want. In fact, many people are more okay with saying what they DON’T want, right? “I don’t want this. I don’t want that.” They’re focusing on what they don’t want. You need to focus on what you DO want.

Don't Plan Every Nitty-Gritty Detail, You Just Have To Devise A Plan
Don’t Plan Every Nitty-Gritty Detail, You Just Have To Devise A Plan

Step Number Two – Create This…

But then the second step… Setting an intention isn’t going to make it happen, right? Having a dream doesn’t make it turn into a reality. So you need a plan. Set your intention is number one. Then number two, create a plan for accomplishing said thing.

So if I say that I want to grow a recurring income of three thousand dollars a month, and here’s why. So my intention is, “I want to make a recurring income online of three thousand dollars a month because I want XYZ.” There’s my intention.

Now my plan will be, “Okay so how am I going to create a recurring income?” So for example, I could do a membership site. What is that membership site going to be about? How am I going to deliver it, host it, and fulfil it? Start working out the plan. How am I going to do it? What is it gonna be?

You don’t have to plan every nitty-gritty detail. Don’t get caught up in the tiny details. You just have to devise a plan. Don’t just set an intention and sit there twiddling your thumbs. Devise a plan.

"Aw, I Was Looking For A Big Secret Dean!" Well There It Is!
“Aw, I Was Looking For A Big Secret Dean!” Well There It Is!

Now when you’ve got a plan… And I’m gonna give you the simplified version of this – how to accomplish anything. So you’ve set your intention. You’ve said what you want and why. Then you say here’s what I’m gonna do, and here’s how I’m gonna do it, okay? You’ve got a plan. Or at least the basis of a plan.

Step Number Three – Do This…

You know what step number three is? Take action. Big shock, Right? “Aw, I was looking for a big secret, Dean!” Well there it is: Take action. Do it. It’s not good enough to say what you’re going to do, or what you want. Now you’ve got to do it, alright?

So, three steps to accomplishing anything you want in life…

  1. Set your intention. Say what you want, and why.
  2. Devise a plan. How are you gonna do it? What are you going to do and how.
  3. Do it. And do it consistently – don’t stop.
"That's Ridiculous, Obvious!..." Then Why Aren't You Doing It?
“That’s Ridiculous, Obvious!…” Then Why Aren’t You Doing It?

If you think about it… I know some of you might have already switched off. You might’ve already said, “That was ridiculous! That’s obvious.” Well, why aren’t you doing it then? If it’s so obvious, why aren’t you doing it, right?

You see, if you’re not accomplishing the things you want in your life. Whether that is to eat healthier… Let’s look at different scenarios, not just business. Say you want to get healthier and lose weight so you can be around more for your family, have more energy to be with your children, grandchildren, whatever.

The Life Of An Internet Entrepreneur, The Mindset And Motivation

 The Life Of An Internet Entrepreneur

Curious about what the life of an internet entrepreneur looks like? Today Dean Holland looks back to when he first started online, comparing that to the life he leads today as an online entrepreneur. There are some important lessons to be learnt from this story…

“Good morning my friend! Dean here of course. On the way to Internet Profits on this fine, warm morning here in England. Welcome to today’s episode of The Drive.

Hang on. What day is it? Is it Friday? No, what day is it? Oh it IS Friday!!

Okay, normally this would be ‘recap of the week’. But I have something to speak about, and then I’ll do recap of the week. What the heck! Who cares. Let’s just roll with this.

So just before I come to the recap, a few big things, exciting things happened this week, that I will tell you about in a second. But I want to address something, okay?

You see, something was said on social media the other day. And I do like to see as much as I can, even if I can’t always respond to everybody. So please know your comments are read, even if I don’t always get the time to reply.

An Unavoidable Question That Needs A Full Answer

Because across all of our platforms like Facebook and… Well I say ‘all of our platforms’.  I don’t even bother with most. I should, but I don’t. Facebook and YouTube mainly.

I Sometimes Start Work As Early As 6am, And Finish At Midnight... Why?
I Sometimes Start Work As Early As 6am, And Finish At Midnight… Why?

But somebody said the other day, “You know what Dean, it looks like things are going amazingly well in your business. But why is it you still get up so early?”

I think this stemmed from over the last couple of weeks. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I’ve been getting into the office and starting my work online pretty early, right? Much earlier than I needed to.

I’m pretty much always the first there. I’ve literally been going in some days at like 6 am. And some of these days as well, I’ve been there to like 9 pm, 10 pm, even midnight on one day.

And somebody said like, “Why?…

“It Doesn’t Look Like You’re Living The Life Of An Internet Entrepreneur”

There’s this whole thing of like y’know, working on the beach or being able to do whatever you want. And believe me I can, to a degree, live the life of an internet entrepreneur like that.

Recently - Caribbean Cruise, Disney Parks, On Stage With Tony Robbins, Greek Holiday
Recently – Caribbean Cruise, Disney Parks, On Stage With Tony Robbins, Greek Holiday

If you think about it, over the last four or five months I have been on a Eastern Caribbean cruise. I have spent five days at the Disney parks. Been in Orlando, Florida and done some awesome stuff there. Spoke on stage with Tony Robbins. I have spent seven or eight days in Greece, in the Mediterranean. Cruised around the Med in a boat. Some amazing experiences, y’know.

But here’s the thing. Here’s the big crux of this whole thing, right? You might look at me and see like, “Oh, your business is amazing. You’ve got everything you want. A nice house. Drive nice cars. You got all this kind of stuff.” And yeah, I’m truly blessed. Like my life today is unrecognizable to how it was ten years ago in the life of an internet entrepreneur.

Ten Years Ago In The Life Of An Internet Entrepreneur

Like, ten years ago I was in over sixty thousand dollars of debt, driving a crappy little car. I was working at a construction company in a job I hated, with a boss who was just a complete dick! (Sorry about that, but it’s true.)

Ten Years Ago I Was In A Hellhole - Today Very Different, With A Big Vision For My Company
Ten Years Ago I Was In A Hellhole – Today Very Different, With A Big Vision For My Company

I had like five maxed out credit cards. I was paying off two sizeable bank loans. I had a minus $3,000 plus bank account overdraft. And I was in a hellhole. Like, literally living a ‘hell’ of a life.

Today very different, clearly very different. But I don’t see that. You know what I see? I see somebody that’s just getting started.

Because I have aspirations that are bigger than I could even possibly put into words. The vision that I have, the big vision for my company and the impact that we can make in this world for our industry, is far beyond what you see today. Like this is child’s play to where we’re gonna be.

The Hustle Mentality

So, why do I still get up? Why do I work? Well let me just be clear on something. Because there’s this whole hustle, 24/7 hustle, hustle, hustle mentality, right? I hustle five days a week. Monday to Friday, I give to the world. Meaning what I put in Monday to Friday is to make an impact.

I Don't Do Anything On A Weekend - I Have A Great Work/Life Balance
I Don’t Do Anything On A Weekend – I Have A Great Work/Life Balance

What I do on the two other days of the week is for me and my family, right? What I mean by that is, when Friday ends I’m out of here! I don’t even have a computer at home. Robyn my fiancée does, but I don’t even have my computer at home anymore.

So I don’t do anything on a weekend, right? Yeah, sometimes I’ve got my phone. If I’m bored I’ll look at Facebook, But generally speaking I don’t do anything until Monday comes back around.

So I will grind when the time is there to grind, and when the time is right. But you better believe that I have a great work/life balance. And yeah, so I wanted to just kind of answer that, in that sense.

Do You ‘Deserve’ The Weekend Off?

If you’re not where you want to be, don’t be lazy. Get up earlier, put some work in before you go to your job. Come home, work. If you’re if you’re stuck in a job you hate, like I used to be. Then you don’t deserve yet to have that weekend off. And I don’t mean that disrespectfully. But if you truly do not like your situation, change it!

If You've Got People Depending On You, It's So Important You Take This Seriously
If You’ve Got People Depending On You, It’s So Important You Take This Seriously

I remember when I was in my full-time job. I would get up at 5-6 am, walk my dog, drive to work which was an hour’s drive. Work from 7:30 am through until 5 pm. I wouldn’t get home until gone six. I’d walk my dog, eat, and I’d get back on that computer. And I’d be there all night, sometimes until early hours of the morning. That was Monday through Friday.

Weekends, I’d get up first thing in the morning, walk my dog, and I’d work on the computer. I’m not saying I didn’t do any fun things. I’d still spend time with my partner who I was with at the time. But my main priority was to change my situation which I did not like.

And so should yours be. Especially if you’ve got family or people that are depending on you, it’s so important that you take this seriously and do what it takes. Because they may not understand what you want to do right now.

A Scam, A Fad, Some Nonsense?

A lot of people don’t ‘get’ internet marketing. They think it’s a scam, a fad, some nonsense. They think you’re being tricked and duped. But that’s because they don’t see you progressing. They don’t see you getting the results.

Stop The Excuses And Buying 'Shiny Objects' - Invest Properly In Yourself And Your Success
Stop The Excuses And Buying ‘Shiny Objects’ – Invest Properly In Yourself And Your Success

What they see is somebody they love sacrificing at the computer and not being around them, giving them their attention. When what you see is you are sacrificing so that you can give them more of what they deserve. More of your time, more of your attention, and have more freedom and security in their life, right? That’s the difference with the life of an internet entrepreneur.

If you’re in that situation, sometimes you see two different things. So you need to get results, so they can see the fruits of your labour. Which means stopping all the crap. Stopping all the excuses. Taking things seriously. Stopping buying all the shiny objects. Invest properly in yourself and your success, to get what you need to do things properly.

My Results Changed Their Tune

Because I tell you, people change their tune when you start getting results. The people that used to laugh at me, do not laugh anymore. There was a time (I mean, I don’t even associate with them anymore). But there was a time where I’d have work colleagues at my last job who would laugh at me, and talk about me behind my back, and would smile when they say, “How’s that internet thing going Dean, Haha?” Almost like it was a joke and it was stupid.

Ten Years On My Life Is Completely Different - I Do What I Love - To Me It's Not Work
Ten Years On My Life Is Completely Different – I Do What I Love – To Me It’s Not Work

Those same people, when I handed my notice in, then it was more like, “You’re leaving to do your internet thing? Oh that’s interesting. Is it going well then?” Like, the tune changed. And now those same people are no doubt probably either still in the same job, or jumping from jobs they don’t like, or y’know even in a worse situation.

Me, ten years on? My life is completely different…

Failure Is A Choice, So Why Choose Failure When Success Is An Option?

Failure Is A Choice

When things seemingly go wrong in business or in life, it often feels like failure. But failure is a choice actually, when you think about it. And so, why choose failure when success is an option? It’s basically a matter of reprogramming our state of mind…

“Good morning my friend. How are you doing? It’s Dean here of course. It is a fine, glorious early morning at 6:50 a.m.

Y’know, for the last few days I have been in a great routine. I’ve been going to bed fairly early around about 10 p.m. But I’ve been waking up really early like 5/6 a.m. Waking up full of energy. I definitely notice a difference.

I always test all kinds of different things, right? And one of the things recently is consuming a lot of water. The difference – the way you wake up – its monumental!

People Give Themselves A Hard Time Because They Perceive They Failed
People Give Themselves A Hard Time Because They Perceive They Failed

Your concentration throughout the day and the way you wake up the following morning – it’s insanely different. Like, it’s probably the one thing that you could do right now to change your productivity and the way you feel. Seriously, it’s incredible!

Is It Actually Possible To Fail?

I want to talk about something a bit different today. Want to talk about failure. More importantly, I want to take this a different way than what you might be thinking. I want to talk about – is it actually possible to fail? Or is there a different way of looking at it?

I see a lot of people that are very down on themselves, beat themselves up, and give themselves a hard time because they “failed”. Well, they perceive they failed.

Was it Thomas Edison who invented the light bulb? Was it him who was like, “I didn’t fail a thousand times, I just found a thousand ways that didn’t work”? When you think about that, what a great way to look at things. Like, “I didn’t fail. I just found a way that didn’t work.”

Know That You Can Reprogram Your Mind To Think In A Different Way
Know That You Can Reprogram Your Mind To Think In A Different Way

Y’know, what if failure wasn’t an option in your life? What if you could not fail? If there were only ever results – results that you wanted, or results you did not… But nonetheless, you were always getting results.

And you’re never failing. You were just finding ways that either (a) did work, or (b) did not work. What a great way to look at things don’t you think? I’m not saying that’s easy to just adopt, like – click your fingers – “Okay, now I believe I’ve never failed in my life.” No. It’s gonna take time to realise that failure is a choice.

Changing Your Subconscious Beliefs

But I want you to tell yourself that it’s possible…

“It is possible that I could make that change. Possible that I could adjust my way of thinking, so that I never have to feel down for too long about stuff not working out the way I’d hoped.”

And if you tell yourself every time – you’ve got to consciously… Y’know, for something to change, you first have to consciously change it. And you consciously repeat that change, that adaption, that method, that different way of thinking. Until eventually you will subconsciously do it. And you reprogram your mind to think in a different way.

One Of The Biggest Things I Learnt From Tony Robbins Is 'State Control'
One Of The Biggest Things I Learnt From Tony Robbins Is ‘State Control’

A lot of people don’t realise that they can take control of their mind. People think, “Well no, I think this way and I feel this way because that’s what happens. That’s how life is.” But it’s not true.

One of the biggest things – and I’ve learned a lot from this guy. But one of the biggest things that I’ve always taken away from spending time with Tony Robbins, is ‘state control’. How you can change your state.

Like, in an instant, in a moment – you can literally reprogram the way you feel and change that emotion. You choose to be stressed, you choose to be overwhelmed, you choose to feel those emotions and those feelings. Because you are in control…

How To Change Your Life Instantly In Just 4 Simple Steps

 Change Your Life Instantly

Do you want to change an aspect of your life without delay? If you’re willing to master the four simple steps that Dean Holland lays out below, you should then be fully equipped to be able to change your life instantly…

“Good morning! Dean here of course. It’s a bright, early morning at 7:43 am. Just on the way to Internet Profits HQ to begin another great day. I’m gonna smash today! I feel that I’m gonna absolutely dominate my day and crush it. Because y’know what? I’m gonna talk about something now…

You can literally change anything instantly. Like, any situation. You can change in a moment.

I want to tell you a story… So my fiancée used to smoke. I used to bug her about it. Like, “You really shouldn’t smoke. You need to give up. You should quit.” And she knew it was no good, and that she should quit. But she didn’t do it.

You Have To Truly, Deep Down Want That Change For Yourself
You Have To Truly, Deep Down Want That Change For Yourself

And I used to think, that is so annoying, so frustrating. Like, you’re literally killing yourself y’know. I want a long, healthy, happy life together – and to give ourselves the best possible chance of that. And smoking is not gonna help you. Smoking cigarettes constantly every day! Like, what are you doing? And she didn’t quit.

1. You Must WANT To Change Your Life Instantly

So in the end I just stopped going on about it. And then all of a sudden, a few months later, she stopped just like that. So I’m thinking like, I’ve been asking you for so long to stop smoking. And now that I’ve stopped saying anything about it, months later you just quit smoking in one day.

Like not even gradually. Just literally, boom! One day – stopped!

And it made me realise something… That in order to change, there’s a few things that have to happen. Number one; you have to actually want to change yourself. Not, know that you ‘should’ change. And not, change ‘would be nice’. But truly, deep down actually WANT that change.

In Order To Change You Have To Have A Big Enough Reason Why
In Order To Change You Have To Have A Big Enough Reason Why

Now the second thing is, in order to change you have to have a big enough reason. You have to find your reason why.

At the moment there’s something really sad in our lives. One of our close friends sadly has cancer. Something she suffered with when she was in her early early 20’s, and now it’s come back and it’s really bad.

2. Find Your Reason WHY To Change

And I think this was, in part, a bit of a trigger. There’s now a bigger reason why – there was something to look at and say, “I just shouldn’t be doing this, I cannot carry on living this way. I have to stop smoking, I have to give up.”

She had that reason why – she had that big, big reason why. And obviously there were other reasons why, like the expense. Y’know, throwing money down the drain – literally burning it. The health aspects were big. But this was a bigger reason.

To Change Your Life Instantly, You Have To Take Immediate Action
To Change Your Life Instantly, You Have To Take Immediate Action

And so that just proves a point as well doesn’t it? When we look at ourselves, change can happen immediately if you truly want it and you have a big enough reason why.

3. Take Immediate Massive Action

Now the third thing is… If you want to change anything in a moment, you have to take immediate action. Y’know, wanting to change, and having a reason why – doesn’t do anything if you do nothing with it. So you have to take immediate, massive action – Immediate massive action!

And the fourth thing I would say, is that you have to have the belief that you can do it. The belief that it’s possible, and that it can be done. Because when you think about it really, and when we look at this analogy I’ve just shared… Change happened instantly. The decision to change… Stop that day!

You Must Believe You Can Do It, That It's Possible, That It Can Be Done
You Must Believe You Can Do It, That It’s Possible, That It Can Be Done

But what took the time, was getting ready for the change. Does that make sense? If you think about it, it was getting ready. Getting that reason why, getting that belief, getting ready for that action, feeling and truly wanting it. Y’know, it’s getting ready to do it that takes the time.

The change happened in a moment. As I say, she literally just one day stopped smoking. And it was an amazing day, so proud of her.

And when we think about this in business, when we think about ourselves as entrepreneurs… What usually takes time is getting ready for the change.

4. Believe That It’s Possible To Make The Change

For me, I started trying to make money online and build an online business in 2004. But between 2004 to 2008, I just kept ‘trying’ at things. Buying and trying products, Not really following anything through.

Eventually my belief was wavering like, “Can I really do this?” I didn’t have strong enough reasons why. Just thought it would be great to have my own business, and not work for someone else. Thought that would be nice, that would be amazing.

Change Happens In A Moment, Getting Ready For Change Takes Time
Change Happens In A Moment, Getting Ready For Change Takes Time

But I didn’t have those deep reasons why, until I got to the stage where I was over $60,000 in debt and I hadn’t made a single sale online in over 4 years of trying! I was at rock bottom, felt ashamed and embarrassed. And I felt like an absolute disgusting failure of a mess!
