What is The Achievement Factory by Andrii Sedniev About?

The Achievement FactoryThe Achievement Factory: How to Fulfill Your Dreams and Make Life an Adventure by Andrii Sedniev is about goal achievement. Some of the content, you have seen before in books such as Think and Grow Rich. But a reminder is a good thing for activities that we need to be pursuing all the time.

The other thing I noticed is that there are some overlaps between Andrii Sedniev’s The Achievement Factory: How to Fulfill Your Dreams and Make Life an Adventure and The Business Idea Factory: A World-Class System for Creating Successful Business Ideas. If you downloaded the books for free like I did, that’s not a problem. But it would be upsetting to someone who purchased them.

Steps to Fulfill Your Dreams

One of the first steps to take to fulfill your dreams is to set aside an hour to write down 100 desires. When you write down your desires, make sure that they are ones that you have for yourself. And not the desires that others have for you.  During the time that you are dreaming, make some of your desires, big, audacious, and have the WOW factor to take your breath away. If you need assistance in determining what your desires are, there are three magic questions to help you.

3 Magic Questions for Identifying Desires

1. How would you live your life if you had a billion dollars?
2. If you were guaranteed success in life, what would you do?
3. Remember all the moments in your life when you felt alive, excited and happy. How could you bring more such moments to your life?

The questions force you to clarify your thoughts, and to focus on what's really important to you.  Now that you have taken the time to write down your 100 desires, you need to segment them into four categories. To live a happy and healthy life there are four areas of goal setting.

4 Areas of Goals Setting

1. Body and Health: A healthy body enables you to live a happy and fulfilling life. When you are healthy, you have the energy to do the things you desire.
2. Career and business: Financial goals – the way you want to earn money.
3. Socialization and family: Goals to improve your family life, such as going on a vacation. It also entails interactions with others, forming and building relationships.
4. Personal development: To grow spiritually and intellectually.

To accelerate the speed at which you achieve/fulfill your desires, ask yourself three questions.

3 Super-Productivity QuestionsThe 80/20 Principle

1. Is this particular action I am doing right now getting me closer to my goal or further away? Focus on that one action.
2. What is the most valuable use of my time right now? Think the 80/20 rule.
3. How can I do what I am doing more effectively? How can you optimize the process? Can you cut out steps? Can you delegate the things you don’t like doing and focus on the critical activities?

The Achievement Factory by Andrii Sedniev: How to Achieve a Goal

The 12 Week YearIn The Achievement Factory, Andrii Sedniev recommends that you set process goals, which are focused on the next one to three months, and the actions to take to achieve those goals. A goal for one year is too far out. And you may be tempted to procrastinate, thinking you have enough time. In the event that your dreams take more than three months to achieve, break them into manageable pieces. Writing down your goals, and taking action, increases the probability of their achievement.

Each day, take action steps that lead you to the larger goal, and the small wins you experience along the way will motivate you to keep going. Remember that success also breed success. The author also recommends that you visualize achieving your goals – we have heard this many times – before going to sleep and first thing after you arise in the morning. He developed a visualization formula.

Visualization magic formula:

Clarity of Visualization X Frequency of Visualization = Achieved Goal.
