Being Authentic Means Living Life According to Your Goal Plan
“At the end of the day, I’m not responsible for how they feel and disconnected myself from that outcome. So, I have my own goal plan and I know what I want to achieve. People can see that I’m driven with where I want to get and they can see that I’m congruent with what I want to achieve, and how my actions align with that.”

Lessons learned
Live your own goal plan
Your goal plan should reflect who you are and not what others perceive you to be. What you want to do and not what others expect you to do. And how you want to achieve that without losing yourself in the process.
Take ownership and responsibility for all your actions
Anything that happens to you is the product of your own doing. If the results are great, then you only have yourself to be grateful to. If it’s not, then reflect and move forward.
Work on yourself first
To be able to be successful not just in business but in life as general, people need to continue to invest in themselves. If they want to go to the next level, they need to explore who they are as a person to be able to continue to move forward and grow.
Surround yourself with people who are ahead of you
It is important to surround yourself with people who you want to be surrounded with. To be able to learn, choose the people who are 2, 3, or 4 steps ahead of you.
Andrew’s takeaways
If you have a problem with that, that is your problem
At the end of the day, you are not responsible for how other people feel and what outcome they want. You can be emphatic and kind but there needs to be a clear line delineating you from other people’s problems.
Authenticity is what attracts people
People value authenticity more than expensive and false advertising. It is authenticity that builds your business. This is the tie that strengthens your relationship with your customers.
Do what makes you happy
It is not always too late to invest in personal development. No matter how successful you want to be, if you are not doing it for yourself, you will never be happy and satisfied.
Actionable advice
Start asking yourself if you are living your goal plan. If not, then it is time to do it now. You need to be able to have a clear direction on what you want to be, what you want to do and how you want to do it.
