3 Steps to Producing Results with Inspired Action

Producing results in your life is not always about putting in more effort or more hours. At Tiara, we believe it has more to it than hard work - yet it isn’t just wishful thinking either. It is equally important to leverage your mind, your feelings, and certain kinds of actions – inspired actions.

Step 1: Get Clear In Producing The Results That You Desire

The first step to producing results is being clear about what you want. It is a critical first step, yet so many of us don’t take the time to ask ourselves these important questions:

What do I really want?
What would make me happy?
If I could do, be, or have anything in my life, what would it be?
What do I know I want next?

Inquiring deeper into what you want requires you to expand past fleeting thought. This is not a difficult step, yet it is one that is easy to skip over. Once you have a general idea of what you want, you then need to get more and more specific to create a very clear picture.

Step 2: Leverage Your Mindset To Help With Producing Results You Desire

The second step is to create the ability to stay committed to something over time and to overcome obstacles that will occur. One of the most powerful ways to do this is to be aware of, choose, and leverage your mindsets (thoughts and beliefs). This is not a suggestion of magic or wishful thinking. Rather, it is about using your mindsets and beliefs in a way that empowers you and keeps you focused on what you want.

The average adult will experience over 40,000 thoughts during a 24 hour period. The large majority of these will never reach consciousness. When you consciously insert positive thoughts and mindsets they carry more weight and increase your likelihood of success. This is similar to the way a professional athlete envisions the success they seek before they experience it. The vision in their mind and the positive beliefs and feelings produced are essential to achieving their goals. The ability to see it, feel it, and know it is possible is vital to achieving results.

Step 3: Take Inspired Actions In Producing Results You Desire

The third step is taking the appropriate actions to make it happen. Many of us try to jump to this action step first and that is a critical mistake! It is unlikely that you can produce your desired results if you are NOT clear and you do NOT believe it is possible.

Taking appropriate actions also means taking inspired actions. This results in you going beyond being your own taskmaster. Inspired actions are creative; they can be big or small, but they come from a different type of energy than "doing" or "driving" which can be draining. Inspired actions always create momentum. You know you are taking inspired actions when things seem to be flowing easily as you make progress. Inspiration enables you to overcome inertia and other obstacles by connecting to the power of a positive mindset. This mindset is important in reminding you that your vision is possible and worth it!

Producing results is not random, it is intentional. It is not based on luck, it is based on you believing it is possible. Instead of wishful thinking, it is about taking inspired actions towards your desired outcomes.
