Hi, this is Mike Pettigrew - bestselling author and serial entrepreneur since 1987 and I help ordinary people to achieve extraordinary goals, but possibly not in the way you might think. A lot of people ask me, what are the biggest decisions you've made in your life? What are the most important decisions you've made in your life? Well, there are several. But before we get started, I just want to say if you're ready to get to your next level of success, abundance, freedom, and wealth, check out the Ultimate Success Club at achievegoalsfast.com/USC. So what are these? What are these biggest decisions I've made in my life that have been so important? Well, the first one is taking up meditation, taking up meditation about 35 years ago. I meditate every morning and every evening - about 45 minutes in the morning - about 10 minutes in the evening. But you know what it does for me?

It makes me recharged, much more fresh and enthusiastic. I start the day with a punch - with lots of energy. I can connect with people better. My mind works more effectively, and efficiently, and more agile. And far more creative ideas that come into come into my mind that wouldn't normally, and you know what? That's so important. That's so important. Our lives are so busy, we all need time to connect to the universe, to connect to our higher selves. And it's just magic what can happen. So that's the first really important decision I made in my life. My second one is starting my own business back in 1987. Well, actually that's not true. I started my first business 10 years before that when I was a teenager - buying and selling secondhand TVs. I started my first real business in 1987 and in some ways I think everyone should start their own business, rather than work for someone.

Although it's not really suitable for everyone because it's, it's, you know, it certainly the first few years can be quite challenging. Most people don't want to, uh, to challenge themselves in that way. And that's, that's absolutely fine. But for me, it's enabled me to grow in ways that I couldn't possibly have grown before. It's enabled me to expand my vision and realm of possibility dramatically. It's also given me an amazing lifestyle. It's enabled me to travel all around the world, to help lots of people all around the world, and do all sorts of things I could never have done otherwise. So that's the second really big decision I made. But it was so important for my life. And my third really important decision was taking up personal development because you know? Your environment only changes in direct response to how you change inside. And as somebody once said, the only thing that is separating you from achieving anything that you want in life - any goal - is some level of inner change.

So when you set goals immediately you start experiencing challenges that stretch your life. Okay? And that's one of the reasons why goal setting is so important. It brings about inner change. It enables you to grow in the ways that you need to grow in order to achieve your goal. So the bigger the goals you have, the more challenges you have, the more you grow as a human being - your capabilities increase dramatically. So personal development is so, so important. And if you look at any highly successful person, they will tell you if you ask them that personal development is the key to their success. So personal development is incredibly important and the best sort of personal development you can do is to take on a mentor, find someone who has already done what it is that you want to achieve and copy what they did, copy what they did.

That is the fastest way to achieve anything actually. And it's the sure guaranteed way to do personal development, to develop yourself in all sorts of different ways. And the fourth really big decision I made was to - and it's also related to the last one - is to improve my own self worth because a long time ago when I was in business back in the early days, early 1990s I was on a financial roller coaster - feast or famine and I discovered that my low self worth was creating all my financial problems and all my problems in business. So deciding to improve my self worth changed everything. It opened the door to all sorts of possibility. And is the reason - one of the biggest reasons for my success. So as I mentioned a moment ago, personal development is vital. If you don't find what it is that is blocking your success in anything that you're trying to achieve, you'll forever be held back.

So it's so important to discover your limiting beliefs and the things that are holding you back in any area of your life that's not going the way you want it to be going. So that's so important. These are some of the things that I share every single month in the Ultimate Success Club, which is my group coaching program - my success group coaching program.
