The Power of Tracking & Testing Your Output: Step 7

The Track and Test – Unlock Your True Potential in the Final Step 7

If you’ve been following the SOLVE IT framework, you’re already transforming dreams into reality. You’ve set your goals, explored your options, visualised success, implemented a plan, and executed it. Now it’s time for the final step: Track and Test.

This isn’t just about finishing the race; it’s about refining your stride so you can run faster, smarter, and stronger next time.

Why Track and Test?

Success isn’t just about doing the work—it’s about doing the right work. By tracking your results and testing your strategies, you ensure your efforts are aligned with your goals. This phase is where insights are gained, adjustments are made, and breakthroughs happen.

Here’s why this step matters:

Measure What Matters: Ensure you’re moving the needle, not spinning your wheels.
Course-Correct Quickly: Small tweaks can prevent big missteps.
Grow Faster: Feedback loops accelerate success by highlighting what works.

Tracking and testing isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s a continuous cycle of learning and improving—a hallmark of high achievers.

The Neuroscience of Tracking and Testing

Tracking and testing work because they harness the power of your brain:

Activate the Prefrontal Cortex: Regular reflection sharpens decision-making and planning skills.
Boost Dopamine: Measuring progress triggers dopamine, which reinforces motivation and resilience.
Strengthen Neuroplasticity: Testing and adjusting builds new neural pathways, enhancing adaptability and resourcefulness.
Reduce Cognitive Load: Tracking externalises information, freeing up mental space for creativity and problem-solving.

Introducing the 30, 60, and 90-Day Challenges

To make tracking and testing even more effective, we offer 30-, 60-, and 90-day challenges. These structured timelines help you set measurable goals, stay accountable, and evaluate progress at key milestones.

Each challenge includes:

An Accountability Coach: Your personal guide to keep you on track, offering tailored feedback and helping you align strategies with your goals.
Online Metrics Tracking: Advanced tools to monitor progress, highlight trends, and maintain motivation.
Customised Support: Coaches bring extensive experience, helping you adapt and thrive with proven strategies.

While friends and family can offer encouragement, a coach provides an edge. They’re trained to cut through emotional noise and focus on results. Think of athletes, CEOs, and performers—they all have coaches. Even coaches have coaches!

If you’re serious about excelling, investing in a coach isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

“Why Do I Need a Coach?”

It’s natural to feel you should manage your goals independently. But let’s reframe that mindset: every high achiever—from elite athletes to top entrepreneurs—relies on a coach. Why? Because a coach provides the objectivity, expertise, and accountability that’s hard to achieve on your own.

Common Excuses Because You Don’t Feel You Deserve A Coach

1. “I should be able to do this by myself.”
The belief that success must come solely from personal effort is outdated. Coaches have the experience of guiding countless others through challenges like yours. They can spot blind spots and offer strategies tailored to your situation.

Reframe: Success doesn’t mean going it alone. Having a coach demonstrates strength and commitment to maximising your potential.

2. “I don’t have time for a coach.”
Here’s the irony: working with a coach saves time. They help you prioritise, streamline your efforts, and avoid unnecessary detours.

Reframe: Coaching is a productivity multiplier. Time spent with a coach translates into faster, more efficient progress toward your goals.

Overcoming the “I Don’t Deserve a Coach” Mindset

If you are hesitating to work with a coach because you feel unworthy or unnecessary? Let’s reframe this:

Coaching Is for Everyone: You don’t have to be at the top to deserve support. Coaching helps you get to the top, no matter where you start.
Successful People Have Coaches: From athletes to CEOs, the best rely on expert guidance.
Coaches See Blind Spots: Friends and family may offer love, but a coach delivers constructive feedback to help you level up.

Think about this: If you want to win a championship, you wouldn’t train without a coach. Your life goals deserve the same dedication.

A Coach’s Perspective: Why Feedback and Expertise Matter

Family and friends may offer well-meaning advice, but they often lack the objectivity and training of a professional coach. Coaches bring:

An unbiased, outside perspective.
Proven, evidence-based strategies.
The benefit of experience from helping others succeed.

This accelerates your progress dramatically.

Consider this: If you’re serious about excelling—whether in sport, business, or personal growth—you need guidance from someone who knows the playbook. Even coaches have coaches!

Overcoming Common Challenges in Tracking and Testing

1. Fear of Seeing “Bad” Results
It’s natural to worry about setbacks. But remember: data is neutral—it’s not about judgment, it’s about learning.

Action Step: Reframe your mindset. View tracking as collecting clues to solve a puzzle.

2. Struggling to Stay Consistent
Tracking can feel tedious without the right tools or support.

Action Step: Use apps or coaching systems to automate tracking. Seek accountability from a partner or coach to stay motivated.

3. Doubting the Process
You might wonder if tracking and testing are worth it.

Action Step: Trust the system. Progress is often invisible at first, but patterns emerge over time.
