The Most Powerful Goal Achievement System in the World ™: The Hidden Secret to Getting Everything You Want
THE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS ORDINARY PEOPLE TO ACHIEVE EXTRAORDINARY GOALS. Many years ago, author Mike Pettigrew started a quest to find answers to these three 1. Why do some people achieve their goals far more quickly than others, and are able to create extraordinary lives? 2. Of those who manage to succeed, why are some miserable while others are consistently happy? 3. What key factors can allow anyone to create a life of deep meaning and purpose? After decades of studying human consciousness, creating successful businesses, and achieving huge personal and business goals, Mike Pettigrew found the answers he was seeking. It turns out that there are just seven steps that allow you to achieve any goal more quickly. Anyone can follow these simple steps, and when they do amazing things start happening in their careers, relationships and personal lives. To achieve your goals faster you must know exactly what you want, charge your goals with powerful emotion, set specific goal deadlines, program your subconscious mind, plan effectively, use the same habits as the world's highest performers, and overcome your limiting beliefs. Whether you want to achieve your life's biggest goals, get more done, eliminate stress and burnout, or dramatically increase your sense of joy, confidence and fulfilment, this book can help you to achieve it faster and more simply than you may have ever thought possible. Each of the seven steps are easy to understand and put into practice. They are also supported by background material that helps you appreciate the importance of each step, as well as six "magnifiers" you can use to greatly speed up your results. If you've ever wanted a practical easy to use guide that allows you to achieve a far happier and more successful life, then this book contains everything you need. A link to free training that helps you to put the seven steps into action is included in the book, and it demonstrates some of the new skills you will discover in these pages. You Will * Why you absolutely must set goals * Secret habits of successful people * How to set goals the most effective way * How to achieve your goals ten times faster * Amazing new ways to program your mind for success * How to finally discover your life's true purpose * Ways that guarantee you succeed where others normally fail * What you must do to create deep happiness and fulfillment * How to use your subconscious mind to get anything you want * A simple way to boost creativity and generate amazing new ideas * The most powerful goal achievement system in the world Forget S.M.A.R.T. Goals! The popular s-m-a-r-t goals system is too limited to achieve anything substantial, and if you set smart goals, you are probably holding yourself back. You can achieve your life goals far more easily when you charge them with powerful emotions. This allows you to start achieving goals that are truly life changing. Even if goal setting has never worked for you before, then with this simple effective system, you will be able to achieve all your future goals. In the same vein as popular success books like The Success Principles, Think and Grow Rich, and Goals! this is one of those few books that can truly change your life. Mike Pettigrew is an entrepreneur and bestselling author.

A decent guide to achieving your goals in life. The focus, like in many such books, is on the "self". To drive home his point, the author quotes from those that have succeeded in their lives However, the bottom line is that "if you want to change your circumstances, you must first make a change within yourself." And, "to live a fulfilled life, we need to keep creating the 'what is next', of our lives". Makes a lot of sense.

Same old same over and over and over again! he says "no-fluf" guide but guess what? he filled it with fluff! old, repeated,fluf! its good things but everything we all read or heard millions of times before.
it doesn't end here..
you know what made me say that im done? this part:
"I asked him to hold on the line for a few minutes, while I tried something that might help him. I simply focused my mind and positive emotions on him, particularly around the area of his sinuses, where he was feeling intense pain. After less than a minute, he suddenly said “What the hell is happening?!” and I asked him what he meant."
I try to be open minded, i really do, but things like this just can't be believed.
One star because i do actually got one idea that i liked! which is about subliminal messages! i started using it on my phone to see what happen.
i hate to scream at people but really: DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS BOOK.

Misleading Title
I am sorry, but this book just doesn’t fulfill its promise. It falls short in serial areas. 1. Lacks organization - it’s really hard to follow what the author is trying to say. He spends a lot of time telling you all the great things he is going to tell you, and all you are going to learn, but never really gets around to showing you a goal setting system. 2. Long winded. I kept thinking, “just gets the point already.” 3. Heavy on mindset, positive affirmations, etc... he spends more time on these topics than giving help with developing a goal system.
The biggest cost is the time you spend reading this book that could have been 1/3 shorter, and should have been retooled to “ Thinking positive thoughts about your goals.”
I don’t intend to be mean, but when you titles your book “The most Powerful...”you should deliver. Don’t waste your time.

Builds motivation
This is good information about setting goals because it explains how to use the unconscious mind. It’s important to learn about the unconscious mind because the conscious mind sets goals and the unconscious mind gets the goals. So learn to set achievable goals and program your mind for success easily. I recommend this book to anyone looking to set goals that have meaning to you so you can achieve them.

The major painful experiences of our lives can enable us to grow and become kinder, wiser, richer, and more compassionate human beings.’
Irish author Mike Pettigrew has been a successful entrepreneur since he was a teenager. He has founded, bought, built and sold more than 15 businesses, and is widely recognized as an expert in helping ordinary people to achieve extraordinary goals. Mike is also the creator of several products, courses and coaching programs that can help anyone to create the life they have always yearned for. These include The 30 Day Success Formula, The Millionaire Mind Secrets, Change Your Thoughts - Transform Your Life!, the Achievers Elite group coaching program, and one-on-one Certified High Performance Coaching. Impressive credentials for a very impressive book!
The subtitle of Mike’s book – ‘The Hidden Secret to Getting Everything you want’ – sets the reader up with high expectations and after spending time reading and re-reading this book Mike’s predictions can come true. Or as he states in his powerful introduction, ‘You will see how your dominant thoughts, emotions and actions create the circumstances of your life. And when you change your dominant thoughts and emotions, and start taking the right actions, your environment will reflect those changes and your circumstances can improve dramatically. This is the true secret to long-term success and happiness – if you want to change your circumstances, you must first make a change within yourself. And you will discover that change can be a lot easier than you may think! With the exciting tools, techniques, and strategies that I will share with you in this book, you will find out how to powerfully propel your life forwards in a wonderful new direction, so you can achieve your life's biggest dreams, and become the person you always wanted to be.’
And in sharing with us the manner in which we can achieve our goals he offers what he terms ‘magnifiers’ that speed results: How to create a positive mental attitude so you can achieve your goals more easily, and become deeply happy and fulfilled. How to increase your brain power through simple health improvements, so you can improve your focus and gain more energy. Why developing a “persistence mindset” allows you to overcome setbacks and temporary failures, and actually enables you to achieve really big goals. Why lifelong learning is so important, and how mentors, coaches and mastermind groups can help you increase your capabilities tenfold, and achieve your goal more quickly. How to discover your own true purpose in life, so that you can make the best use of your time to create a life of continual successes and deep fulfillment. and Ways to access your inner genius, so you can boost your creativity and get answers to any problems from deep within your own mind.
Mike’s now famous 7 steps to getting everything we want are 1) Decide what you want 2) Create Highly Charged Goals 3) Give each goal a deadline 4) Program your mind 5) Plan for accelerated success 6) Become a high performer and 7) Overcome limiting beliefs. But listing the steps, while challenging, does not begin to share what Mike so amply offers in the pages of this fine book. He knows his subject matter, offers fine illustrations to keep the reader involved (and entertained!) visually, and in the end he makes us believe in ourselves – especially using the ‘magnifiers’ he distributes throughout. And the Affirmation Library at book’s end is brilliant!
While others have written self-help books on this subject, they simply do not compare to the surge of power Mike creates. Required reading for those who want a better life.

Major life purpose MLP
The book has a number of interesting themes from goal anchor, to affirmations and how your subconscious can inform you.
I enjoyed the book, yet felt disappointed that the author's subconscious insight of the solution to fix his business wasn't shared. It would have been so easy to prove the subconscious point especially when two independent consultants hadn't figured out the achievable solution.
As such, there is breath and no depth at times or depth without breath in some parts, yet it is an insightful read towards understanding and finding your major life purpose.

This book is more of a mental candy if not practiced. While the author makes big claim, the contents are pretty much an amalgamation of other books and ideas and I have come across these in those books. There are some golden advise in this book which are well summarized. While the false claim of achieve anything easily and quickly will be evident to any reader, the underlying philosophy is that begin with trust, create your own destiny, start with conquering your mind first. I would have condensed this book to 50% lesser in its size without losing the value. I appreciate the author regardless for putting together his research from other books.

It is always hard when a book titles itself with such a huge promising title over systems, processes and productivity for me. When this happens I truly do want to hold it to a high level and huge expectations. This is a big area that I truly enjoy reading and learning over.
This book simply did not deliver this for me. It had enough regurgitated stuff that is true and has been spoken in several places, so that is the reason I gave it the 3 stars.

Simply fantastic
I generally don't write reviews. But this book is so good, compelled me to write. This is simply superb book on Goal setting. We often set goals not realizing how much it is important to us. Here Mike Pettigrew makes you realise the importance and gives step by step approach to goal setting and achieving it.

The book does share one of the most powerful goal achievement systems I have ever come across! There are additional instructions, activities, and summaries for almost everything the author discusses in the book. If you're trying to bring about some positive change in your life, I would surely recommend this book to you.

Good read
The layout of the book is a good flow and each chapter feeds the next. There are some great nuggets here which is what I was looking for. I know he uses Napolein Hill's Think and Grow Rich as a reference. Where some may be offended by that rehash I see it as a reenforcement of those processes and how they worked for the author.

Probably 2.25 stars. Just wasn’t for me. I feel there was too much “I’m getting there”talk. It made me feel like I wasn’t reading the good part of the book for too long. Besides that, it was just ok for me. I can see how it may work for others, though.

I don’t believe there’s a “ bad book” in this world, it’s just that there’s a different kind of book for everyone. The moment the writer talks about “ healing” trough the phone... he lost me, sorry, not for me. I finished it and I must say it has many good organizational tips but that’s all.

Got to the part when he healed someone’s sinuses over the phone and the book sailed in a satisfying arc across the room. The book’s too generic, the author’s too vague, his claims are too grand, and life’s too short for this. 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

Apart from a small section in the middle where the author goes on about a discredited pseudoscience, this book has been extremely valuable to me. If you have important sh!t to get done in your life - you should read this book.
