During the 30 Day Home Office Fitness Challenge I have recommended that you set fitness, business, and life goals and make those goals public to hold yourself accountable to achieving them. Today we’re going to take things to a new level by simply changing one word.

Instead of saying, “It’s my goal to fit into a size 6 pair of jeans and be able to get as much done in a 7 hour workday as I do in my current 8 hour workday so I can spend more time with my family and enjoy life to the fullest”, I want you to change the word ‘goal’ to ‘mission’.

“It’s my mission to…”

Do you see how changing that one word dramatically impacts that sentence? The word mission packs a powerful punch! Subconsciously when you say the word ‘mission’ it becomes something that ‘must achieved‘.

I have a powerful motivational quickie audio for you below. It’s an interview that I did with Adam Waters where we cover this very topic. Feel free to download it, pop it into your mp3 player, and listen to it while you do some quickie cardio.

But first I want to introduce you to Adam Waters. He’s just a regular guy who was determined to lose a bunch of weight, but he needed to be held accountable to seeing that goal through to the very end. So instead of calling it a goal, he set out on a mission to record a video and take a picture of himself every day.

Adam harnessed the power of social media to hold himself accountable to achieving his mission. The video that I’m sharing with you below shows the transformation that Adam went through. Notice that over 4 million people have viewed that video!

By harnessing the power of social media and documenting his journey on his blog and on YouTube, Adam caught the attention of the media and has made a great name for himself. His been on television, in magazines, in the newspaper and all over the web.

What could you do with that type of recognition?

Set a mission for yourself and share your journey with the world. Not only is it a great way to hold yourself accountable, but it sure could lead to some great opportunities. Of course I would love to see you document your journey on the Fat Loss Quickie program

Check out what my friend Nicole Dean has done while documenting her journey on the Fat Loss Quickie Program. She even came up with a fun name and made a challenge out of it: Computer Butt Challenge

Nicole got her fans and followers involved in her journey and the accountability has been tremendous. Plus it has made her home office fitness journey much more enjoyable.

Ok, now it’s time for your daily task. I want you to take a look at the goal that you set for yourself earlier on in this challenge and change the word ‘goal’ to ‘mission’. I want you to read that ‘mission’ out loud to yourself and tell me how different it feels when you say it.

Download the mp3 below and prepare to be inspired.

You ROCK! Enjoy the experience,
