Stage 6 - Outcome & Growth – Achieving Your Goals and Living Authentically

Outcome & Growth: Reaching Your True Potential

Most of us are eager to get to the outcome—achieving the goals we’ve set for ourselves, creating the life we want, and living as our true selves. It’s the end goal of any personal growth journey. But here’s the catch: most people want to skip straight to this stage. We want the rewards without fully understanding the process that leads us there.

Skipping ahead to goal setting without building the necessary foundation in the earlier stages can often lead to frustration, burnout, and a sense of failure. That’s because real, lasting change is only possible when we’ve taken the time to prepare, observe, understand, and manage the challenges in our way.

In the Outcome & Growth phase of the Process of Change, we take everything you’ve learned about yourself and your journey so far and apply it to goal setting. But this isn’t just about setting superficial goals—it’s about aligning your goals with your true self, ensuring that what you’re working towards is not only achievable but also deeply meaningful and fulfilling.

Goal Setting: Why Most People Want to Skip to This Stage

We live in a world obsessed with results. We’re constantly bombarded with messages about reaching our goals, achieving success, and living our best lives. It’s no wonder that when people embark on a journey of change, they often want to rush straight to the outcome.

But here’s the truth: skipping the foundational work means you’re not truly prepared for the challenges that will inevitably arise along the way. Without a clear understanding of your past, your subconscious beliefs, and your patterns of behaviour, even the best intentions can fall flat.

In this phase, we help you set meaningful goals that are aligned with who you are and who you want to become. This isn’t just about ticking boxes or achieving superficial milestones—it’s about creating long-lasting, sustainable growth.

Living Authentically: Aligning with Your True Self

The real goal of the Outcome & Growth phase isn’t just about achieving external success; it’s about aligning with your true self. Through the previous stages, you’ve learned to recognise the parts of you that were driven by negative core beliefs, unresolved trauma, or the need to protect yourself. Now, we focus on living in alignment with your authentic self—setting goals that reflect your true desires, values, and potential.

Living authentically means embracing the parts of yourself that you’ve rediscovered during the process of change. It’s about expressing who you are without fear or hesitation, and taking action in line with your highest potential.

As you move through this phase, we’ll explore how to:

• Set meaningful goals that reflect who you truly are.
• Identify barriers that may still be in your way and address them head-on.
• Build the mental strength needed to stay focused and resilient in the face of setbacks.
• Cultivate a sense of joy, connection, and purpose as you move toward your goals.

The Importance of Fun, Joy, and Connection

Many people think of personal growth as a serious and often difficult journey, but there’s a vital aspect that’s often overlooked: fun, joy, and connection. These are the elements that make life fulfilling, that give us the motivation to keep going, and that make the process of change worthwhile.

In this phase, we focus not just on achieving goals but on creating a life that’s rich with experiences that bring you joy and fulfilment. Whether it’s building stronger relationships, pursuing hobbies that excite you, or simply allowing yourself to experience more joy in your day-to-day life, this phase is about bringing balance and happiness into your world.

We’ll also explore the importance of connection—both with yourself and with others. Humans are wired for connection, and fostering meaningful relationships is a crucial part of growth. We’ll help you cultivate deeper connections with those around you and develop a stronger sense of self-compassion and connection with your inner self.

Expressing, Asserting, and Taking Action

The Outcome & Growth phase is also about action—taking the steps necessary to bring your goals to life. Now that you’ve done the work to understand yourself and overcome the barriers of your past, you’re ready to start expressing who you truly are, asserting your needs and desires, and taking the action that will lead to growth and fulfilment.

This might mean:

• Setting firm boundaries with others to protect your well-being.
• Making bold decisions in your career or personal life.
• Finally pursuing a passion or dream that you’ve put off for too long.
• Creating new habits that support your mental, emotional, and physical health.

Whatever your goals are, this phase is about turning them into reality. We’ll use the insights and tools from earlier in the process—your new understanding of your subconscious mind, your mental strength, your ability to manage stress and emotions—and apply them to taking purposeful, structured action that brings you closer to the life you want.

Growth Mindset: Embracing Challenges as Opportunities

One key concept we introduce in this phase is the idea of a growth mindset. A growth mindset is the belief that challenges and setbacks are opportunities for learning and development, not reasons to give up. It’s the understanding that even when things get tough, you have the capacity to grow, adapt, and ultimately succeed.

By cultivating a growth mindset, you’ll develop greater resilience and be able to bounce back from setbacks with renewed determination. This mindset allows you to see challenges as part of the journey, rather than obstacles that stop you in your tracks.

Achieving Your Potential: Become Who You Truly Want to Be

The ultimate goal of the Outcome & Growth phase is to help you become the person you truly want to be. This isn’t about living up to external expectations or following someone else’s idea of success. It’s about realising your own potential, living authentically, and experiencing life with a sense of purpose, joy, and fulfilment.

Through the process of change, you’ve learned how to navigate the challenges of life with greater clarity, strength, and understanding. Now, it’s time to apply everything you’ve learned and start creating the life you’ve always wanted.

Remember, this phase is not just the end of the journey—it’s the beginning of a new chapter in your life, one where you have the tools, knowledge, and mental strength to continue growing and achieving your true potential.

It’s time to take that first step towards your goals, express who you truly are, and live the life you were meant to live.
