How to get anything you want in life (ultimate guide)

Want to know how to get anything you want in life?

Most people struggle because they focus on wishing instead of executing.

The truth is, success isn’t random. It follows a repeatable process — one built on mindset shifts, action, and resilience.

In this guide, I’ll share 40 powerful lessons that have helped me build a life of freedom, growth, and impact.

These aren’t vague theories. They’re real insights from my personal real-world experience.

If you’re ready to take control of your life and start seeing real results, let’s dive in.

The truth about getting anything you want

For years, I told myself I wanted freedom — to travel, build a business I love, and live on my terms.

But I was still playing it safe. One foot in, one foot out. I wanted success, but I wasn’t fully committed.

That changed when I launched my first virtual summit.

I had no audience, no big network, and no clue if it would work. But I made one decision that changed everything:

I went all in.

No backup plan. No “let’s see what happens.” I was going to make it work no matter what.

That summit became the foundation for my entire online lifestyle business. It made $20,000 in profit and brought in 3,000 highly engaged email subscribers to my list, but more importantly, it proved what was possible.

I took that momentum, doubled down, and went on to make millions of dollars online.

I started traveling full-time as a digital nomad and global citizen, living in places like London, Dubai, Panama, Bali, Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Vietnam, and many more. I designed my life exactly how I wanted.

And it all started with one decision:

I stopped waiting.

Most people never get what they want in life because they leave themselves an out. They say they’ll try. They wait for motivation. They look for guarantees.

But if you want something bad enough, there’s only one move:

You commit fully.

No hesitating. No backup plan. No “I’ll see how it goes.”

And when you do, everything changes.

Doors open. People take you seriously. You start moving differently.

Because life rewards those who are all in.

Getting what you want in life isn’t about luck, talent, or waiting for the perfect moment.

It’s about betting on yourself before anyone else does.

It’s about showing up when no one is watching.

Taking action long before you feel ready.

Learning from failure without slowing down.

Most people hesitate. Winners don’t.

They commit. They adapt. They keep pushing long after motivation fades.

I built my dream business and life by taking the first step with zero guarantees.

My first summit? No audience. No experience. No safety net.

But I made it happen. And that built the foundation for everything that followed.

Are you going to wait — or start building it today?

How to get anything you want in life

Most people think getting what you want in life is about luck. Or natural talent. Or being born into the right circumstances.

But the truth?

It’s about how you think, how you act, and how relentless you are in pursuit of your goals.

I wasn’t handed success. I built it.

From launching my first virtual summit to growing my personal brand to making millions of dollars online while traveling the world—I’ve learned firsthand what it takes.

And it’s not about financial success alone.

It’s about freedom — having control over your time, your health, your relationships, and the luxuries in life that money can’t buy.

Waking up without stress. Doing work that excites you. Having the energy and time to experience life fully — from deep conversations to once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

Most people wait for permission. Wait for the perfect time. Wait for someone to tell them it’s possible.

But the ones who actually get what they want?

They decide. They commit. They take action — whether they feel ready or not.

When I started, I had no audience, no connections, and no proven path to follow. I started from absolutely nothing.

But I took the leap anyway. And that decision changed everything.

So how do you do it?

Through years of trial, failure, and growth, I’ve uncovered 40 powerful lessons that helped me create an epic life on my terms.

Some of these will challenge the way you think. Others will give you a strategy you can use today. But every single one has played a role in helping me turn ideas into reality.

Apply these, and you can get anything you want in life.

Let’s get started.

1. Get crystal clear on what you want

When I started my online journey, I knew I wanted more than a paycheck — I wanted freedom.

But I didn’t always have clarity on how to get there.

Most people drift through life chasing what they think they should want — money, status, validation — without ever defining success for themselves.

But if you don’t decide what you want, someone else will decide for you.

💡 Why it’s important

Clarity isn’t optional — it’s the foundation of everything. When you know exactly what you want, decisions become easier, distractions fade, and you can take action with confidence.

Every major shift in my life — quitting my job, launching my first summit, traveling the world—started with a clear decision.

🏁 Action steps

  • Define your vision – Be specific. What do you want your life to look like in 5 years? Where do you live? How do you spend your days?
  • Write it down – If your goals only exist in your head, they’re not real. Put them on paper and revisit them often.
  • Reverse-engineer the path – What skills, habits, and actions will get you there? Break it down and start executing.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Chasing someone else’s dream – Society pushes certain paths, but if they don’t align with you, you’ll feel empty when you get there.
  • Overthinking instead of deciding – You don’t need perfect clarity to start, but you do need direction.
  • Waiting for motivation – If you only take action when you feel like it, you’ll stay stuck forever.
@thenavidm

Most people never get what they want because they never define it.

Get clear. Get specific. Then go after it with everything you’ve got.

2. Action creates clarity

When I started building my online business, I had no audience, no connections, and no proven plan.

I could have spent years planning, researching, and second-guessing. But instead, I launched my first virtual summit.

I didn’t know if it would work. But I took action, adjusted on the fly, and made it work.

💡 Why it’s important

Most people think they need a perfect plan before they start. But clarity comes from doing, not thinking.

Every big move I’ve made — from launching my first summit to building my personal brand to making millions online — happened before I felt ready.

🏁 Action steps

  • Launch before you feel ready – Whether it’s a blog, YouTube channel, or product—start now, refine later.
  • Speed over perfection – Make decisions based on momentum, not hesitation.
  • Get real-world feedback – The best insights come after execution, not before.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Waiting for perfect timing — it doesn’t exist.
  • Endless research instead of doing the actual work.
  • Fearing failure instead of using it as feedback.
@thenavidm

The biggest lie is thinking you need to know everything before you start.

You don’t. Take action, figure it out as you go, and let experience be your teacher.

The 5 Second Rule

3. Speed beats perfection

When I launched my first virtual summit, I could’ve spent months perfecting every little detail. But instead, I focused on execution.

I got it out there, made adjustments as I went, and ended up building a six-figure lifestyle business from it.

If I had waited for it to be “perfect,” I would’ve missed the opportunity entirely.

💡 Why it’s important

Most people overthink and over-plan, which leads to paralysis by analysis. But in reality, speed creates momentum, and momentum creates results.

Those who move fast, test quickly, and iterate often are the ones who win in business and life.

🏁 Action steps

  • Launch fast, adjust later – Whether it’s a product, a blog, or a brand, get it live, then refine.
  • Set deadlines – Give yourself a tight timeline to avoid getting stuck in endless tweaks.
  • Adopt the MVP mindset – Focus on delivering value first, then improve based on feedback.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Waiting for everything to be “perfect” before starting.
  • Letting small details slow you down.
  • Ignoring feedback because you spent too much time over-engineering a solution.
@thenavidm

Most people wait until everything is “perfect” before they take action.

By then, someone who moved faster has already won the game.

4. Build leverage, not just income

When I started making money online, I thought success was about working harder and earning more.

But I quickly realized: income alone doesn’t create freedom. Leverage does.

I used to trade time for money — whether through freelancing, coaching, or services.

But true leverage came when I started building digital assets like my personal brand, virtual summits, online courses, and affiliate marketing.

These gave me income without always trading time and allowed me to live life on my terms.

💡 Why it’s important

Making money is one thing. Making money that works for you is another.

If you’re constantly trading hours for dollars, you’ll always have a ceiling.

Leverage lets you earn more, work smarter, and create freedom instead of being stuck in a cycle.

🏁 Action steps

  • Focus on scalable income – Digital products, courses, content, and investments create long-term leverage.
  • Document, delegate, automate – Don’t do everything yourself. Systematize and free up your time.
  • Use content as leverage – Writing, videos, and podcasts work for you 24/7, even when you’re not.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Trading time for money with no long-term assets.
  • Being the bottleneck — handling everything alone.
  • Ignoring systems that could save time and create scalability.
@thenavidm

If you stop working and the money stops too, you don’t have leverage.

Build assets, not just paychecks. Use systems, content, and automation to make money work for you.

5. Your network grows when you do

When I started out, I didn’t have a big network. No one was handing me opportunities or opening doors for me.

But I didn’t wait. I took action, created value, and built relationships by helping others first.

After I got featured in Business Insider, the editor was thrilled with how my story performed.

Instead of keeping that win to myself, I introduced a dozen of my peers to the same opportunity. That built trust, expanded my network, and positioned me as someone who connects people to value.

Hosting virtual summits also played a massive role. I featured 30-50 speakers per event, and through that process, I built meaningful relationships with industry leaders I might have never connected with otherwise.

💡 Why it’s important

Your network isn’t built by cold emails or random LinkedIn messages — it grows when you do.

When you take action, implement what you learn, and create value for others, the right people will naturally want to be in your circle.

🏁 Action steps

  • Implement before you ask – Don’t just follow people; apply their work, get results, and share it with them.
  • Become a connector – Introduce people to opportunities, without expecting anything in return.
  • Build platforms, not just relationships – Hosting summits, running a podcast, or curating valuable content gives people a reason to connect with you.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Trying to network without providing value first.
  • Thinking connections alone will bring success — your actions matter more.
  • Reaching out to people without a real reason to connect.
@thenavidm

Your network isn’t built through cold DMs or hoping for luck. It grows when you do.

Take action. Create value. Become the person people want to connect with.

6. Execution builds authority

I didn’t become known in my space by talking about what I would do.

I built authority by doing the work, getting results, and sharing my insights.

When I launched my first summit, I didn’t wait for permission. I went all in, featured top experts, and proved I belonged in the space.

Later, as I grew my personal brand, I consistently executed — building my blog, growing my audience, and sharing valuable insights. Over time, my authority became undeniable.

💡 Why it’s important

People trust action-takers, not idea-talkers.

If you want authority in your field, execute consistently and let results speak for themselves.

🏁 Action steps

  • Build in public – Share your journey, wins, and lessons learned.
  • Get real results – Don’t just consume content — apply it, document it, and improve.
  • Teach what you know – The best way to reinforce your knowledge and attract an audience.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Waiting for someone to recognize your expertise instead of proving it.
  • Consuming more than executing — knowledge is nothing without action.
  • Holding back your progress because of imposter syndrome.
@thenavidm

You don’t need permission to be an authority.

You just need results. Execute, share, refine—repeat. Authority follows execution.

7. Sell solutions, not ideas

When I first started building my online business, I quickly realized that people don’t pay for vague concepts or nice-sounding ideas. They pay for solutions to their problems.

My first virtual summit wasn’t just about branding — it solved a real pain point: helping entrepreneurs build authority, grow their audience, and attract opportunities.

Later, when I created digital products, I made sure they weren’t just “good content,” but step-by-step systems that solved specific challenges.

💡 Why it’s important

Many entrepreneurs struggle to make sales because they focus too much on what they want to create, instead of what their audience actually needs.

The best businesses don’t sell information — they sell transformation.

🏁 Action steps

  • Identify a painful problem – The best businesses solve problems people are already trying to fix.
  • Speak in results, not features – People don’t buy courses or coaching. They buy outcomes, like “10x your audience” or “lose 20 pounds in 90 days.”
  • Test demand before building – Instead of assuming people want something, validate it by talking to your audience or even pre-selling.
  • Focus on solving, not selling – If your product solves a real problem, selling it becomes effortless.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Creating a product without demand — don’t build in isolation.
  • Selling information instead of transformation — people want results.
  • Ignoring your audience’s real struggles — listen before you create.
@thenavidm

**People don’t buy products. They buy solutions.**

If you can solve a painful problem better than anyone else, you’ll never struggle to sell.

8. Solve painful problems, not small inconveniences

When I launched my first virtual summit, I wasn’t thinking about creating an online course. I was focused on delivering value on the summit itself.

But then something interesting happened. My audience kept asking me the same questions:

  • What tech did you use to run the summit?
  • How did you get high-level speakers to say yes?
  • How did you build an email list from scratch so fast?
  • How did you actually make money from the event?
  • What was the exact funnel that made it profitable?

They weren’t looking for vague advice. They wanted a step-by-step system to get the same results.

That’s when I realized I wasn’t just running summits — I had a proven method people were actively asking for.

So I launched a pilot version of Virtual Summit Mastery before I had even created the course. I pre-sold it, validated demand first, made five figures on the pilot, and then built the full program based on real student feedback.

A few months later, I launched the full version and did $60,000 in sales — before I had a big audience or a well-known brand. Over time, the program made well over $1M in revenue and created hundreds of success stories from entrepreneurs around the world (hint: I have a new step-by-step program on summits coming soon called Virtual Summit OS… stay tuned).

💡 Why it’s important

Most people waste time creating things they think people want. But the real money is in solving problems that already exist.

If you’re getting the same questions over and over, pay attention — that’s your next business idea staring you in the face.

🏁 Action steps

  • Stop guessing – Instead of brainstorming ideas in a vacuum, listen to your audience. What do they ask for help with?
  • Validate before you build – Pre-sell your solution, run a beta version, or offer a paid workshop to test demand.
  • Go deep, not wide – Focus on solving one painful, expensive, or time-consuming problem really well.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Solving a problem no one actually cares about.
  • Building a course, product, or service before validating demand.
  • Underpricing — people pay more for solutions that remove pain.
@thenavidm

The best business ideas don’t come from brainstorming. They come from listening.

If people keep asking you how you did something, you’re sitting on an opportunity.

9. The best opportunities go to those in motion

I’ve never waited for permission. Every major breakthrough I’ve had — building my personal brand, launching my first summit, making millions of dollars online — came because I was already taking action.

Most people overthink, hesitate, and wait for certainty. They want proof before they move. But the biggest wins in life don’t work that way.

Success finds people who are already in motion. When you’re executing, experimenting, and putting yourself out there, the right opportunities show up. Momentum attracts luck.

💡 Why it’s important

Most people think they need an opportunity before they take action. But in reality, action brings opportunity.

When I launched my first virtual summit, I had no idea where it would lead.

But by being in motion, I built relationships with top entrepreneurs, got invited to masterminds, and opened doors I didn’t even know existed.

If you’re waiting for a perfect opportunity before you start, you’ll be waiting forever.

🏁 Action steps

  • Make the first move – Whether it’s launching a product, creating content, or reaching out to someone, act before you feel ready.
  • Stack small wins – Keep executing, even on small tasks. Momentum builds confidence and attracts bigger opportunities.
  • Trust the process – Many of the best results come from unexpected places. Stay in motion and let opportunities find you.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Waiting for a perfect plan – You don’t need one. You need consistent action.
  • Not putting yourself out there – If no one knows what you do, no one can offer you opportunities.
  • Giving up too soon – Most people stop before they hit their breakthrough. Keep going.
@thenavidm

Most people wait for the perfect opportunity. But in reality, **opportunity finds people already in motion.**

Start before you’re ready. Take action even when it’s uncomfortable.

10. Attention is currency

When I started building my personal brand, I quickly realized that attention is the most valuable asset online.

It doesn’t matter how great your product, content, or ideas are — if no one knows who you are, you don’t exist in the digital world.

The biggest mistake most people make? They create in silence, hoping someone will notice.

But the game doesn’t work like that. You have to earn attention, not wait for it.

💡 Why it’s important

The internet is crowded. If you want to get anything you want in life, you need to know how to stand out, attract the right audience, and keep their attention.

Your ability to grab and hold attention determines your opportunities, your influence, and your success. Whether you’re building a brand, selling a product, or growing a business — those who master attention, win.

🏁 Action steps

  • Master content distribution – Creating is only half the game. Learn how to get your work in front of the right people through SEO, repurposing, collaborations, and smart distribution.
  • Leverage borrowed authority – Get featured on podcasts and summits, guest post for established sites, collaborate with well-known creators. Being seen with trusted figures builds instant credibility.
  • Be consistent with visibility – The people who stay top of mind get the best opportunities. Show up regularly, share valuable insights, and engage with your audience.
  • Own your narrative – If you don’t define what you stand for, the world will do it for you. Be intentional with what you share and how you position yourself.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Waiting for people to “discover” you – The world doesn’t work that way. If you’re not actively putting yourself out there, you’re invisible. Attention must be earned.
  • Creating without learning how to distribute – A great product, idea, or message means nothing if no one sees it. Distribution is as important as creation.
  • Chasing followers instead of real attention – True attention = trust + engagement + influence. Vanity metrics mean nothing if your audience doesn’t care about what you say.
  • Creating in the dark – Posting random content without a clear strategy or audience focus. If no one knows you exist, they can’t pay attention.

People don’t pay for the best ideas. They pay attention to the ones they see the most.

11. Start a blog or personal website today

launched my website and blog in June 2013. I wasn’t always consistent, but having my own platform completely changed my life.

It made me look professional to build my personal brand online when was first starting out online.

It also gave me an outlet to share my ideas freely on a platform that I own, and even helped me make a lot of money blogging — without needing massive traffic.

💡 Why it’s important

Your blog is your digital home. It works for you 24/7, building credibility, attracting opportunities, and helping you stand out — whether you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or someone who just wants to build their personal brand.

If I had to start over, the first thing I’d do is set up a blog or personal website.

🏁 Action steps

  • Get your domain and hosting – A self-hosted WordPress blog is my go-to, but you can also use Ghost, Webflow, or another platform.
  • Start publishing – You don’t need a perfect first post. Share what you’re learning, what you’re building, or your unique experiences.
  • Use it as your hub – Your website is where people should go to learn about you, your work, and what you offer. Social media trends change, but your blog is yours forever.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Waiting too long to start – The longer you wait, the harder it gets. Even a simple one-page site is better than nothing.
  • Thinking you need massive traffic – I made money and built authority without millions of pageviews. It’s about the right audience, not the biggest audience.
  • Relying only on social media – Algorithms change, but your website is always in your control.

It builds trust, authority, and income — even while you sleep.

Own your platform before you need it.

Resources to help you get anything you want

Here are a few resources I recommend to help you get anything you want in life.

FAQs about getting what you want in life

Here are some of the most common questions people ask about achieving success, getting what they want, and making real progress in life.

You can get almost anything — if you’re willing to put in the effort, make sacrifices, and adapt along the way. It’s not about entitlement. It’s about strategy, discipline, and persistence.

There’s no set timeline. Some things happen fast, others take years. The key is **consistent action**. If you stay committed and keep improving, you’ll be shocked at what you can achieve in 1–5 years.

Clarity comes from action, not overthinking. Explore different paths, try new things, and reflect on what excites you. Over time, you’ll refine your vision.

Money helps, but it’s not a requirement. Myself, and many successful people started with nothing. What you need most is **resourcefulness**, a strong mindset, and the ability to learn fast.

Motivation is overrated. **Discipline beats motivation every time.** The key is building habits and systems that keep you moving forward even when you don’t feel like it.

Waiting for the “perfect time.” There is no perfect time. Start where you are, with what you have, and **figure it out as you go**.

Reframe failure as feedback. Every setback is teaching you something. **Learn, adapt, and keep moving forward.** That’s how you turn failures into stepping stones.

Yes — if they’re willing to **put in the work, stay patient, and keep learning.** Success isn’t reserved for a lucky few. It’s available to anyone who commits to the process.

Next steps: start getting anything you want in life today

Getting what you want in life isn’t about luck. It’s about strategy, mindset, and relentless action.

You now have 40 powerful lessons to apply.

Start designing your dream life so you can get anything you want too.

The real question is: Which one will you start with today?

Pick one insight, take action, and build momentum. That’s how change happens.

Now, I’d love to hear from you.
