- As a high achiever
there's always been big goals
that I wanted to accomplish in my own life,
but I always had trouble focusing on the right set
of small goals, short-term goals, and outcomes
to actually get there.
In this video,
I'm gonna give you my three steps that I follow
to actually accomplish my big goals in life.
Watch this video for my foolproof formula
on how to accomplish your biggest goals.
Welcome to the Unstoppable Life.

and become unstoppable one Sunday at a time.

When you get into the science of goal setting
and figuring out how to actually accomplish those goals
it can get really complicated, real fast.
On one hand people will say, "Dream big,
"have a big hairy audacious goal."
Then they'll say, "Have a smart goal,
"be specific and measurable, and time boxed."
And they'll say, "No, it's not about goals,
"you need to have outcomes."
And others will say, "It's not outcomes, it's objectives,
"but follow this thing called objectives and key results."
It can get really complicated,
and, honestly, it's way too complicated for my own taste.
On this video,
I'm gonna give you the three simple steps
that you actually need to follow
to accomplish your biggest goals,
without unnecessarily complicating it.
Step one is to actually figure out what you want.
So often people tell you to think small,
be realistic.
You can't possibly get to the moon.
And they tell you to go after these measly little goals
that are realistic and achievable,
and the problem is,
we as high achievers get uninspired by it.
So when you go after those goals,
you're not gonna be successful anyway.
So step one in my process
is to actually think big.
What do you want in the future?
Take a long enough view from where you are now
to say five years from now,
and figure out,
what do you actually want in the future?
Now, step two is figure out where you are.
Figure out the gaps that you have,
the problems that you have,
the obstacles that you have,
between now and where you wanna be.
Now this is the key part.
Over here is where you actually look at reality and say,
"Look, if I wanna be here,
"and I'm here right now,
"what's turning me off?
"What's in the way?
"What are the things that are literally stopping me
"from going and getting what I want?"
Go and make a list of that.
So if you're a high achiever,
there's one thing you're very good at.
You're very good at doing things.
You're very good at actually achieving things,
unlocking things.
Set a goal,
you will demolish it.
I know it,
'cause I've been there too.
Now do you know what the number one reason
high achievers still fail is?
Even though we're so capable
of actually knocking down goals.
Do you know what the number one reason
they're unfulfilled is?
For me, I failed at goals,
because I got convinced to forsake my big goals,
my crazy goals,
and instead to go after short-term goals,
more achievable goals,
more realistic goals.
And the thing is
when I went after those things,
I was untethered from what I really wanted.
I was going in a different direction.
I was trying to get short-term rewards,
and I was uninspired.
Think about this for a second,
and then comment below.
What was the time when someone convinced you
to actually go after a shitty goal?
Saying like, "Look, this is way more realistic
"and achievable,
"and I know it's not what you want,
"but you gotta just do it,
"'cause blah."
What did that feel like?
Now in the same comment,
I want you to write, and think,
what was the time you went for it?
Some big, crazy goal.
How alive did you feel?
How excited did you feel?
How much more likely are you to succeed
when you go after that crazy deal?
That crazy goal.
I want you to write it in the comment,
because I want others to see
that we're not alone in this.
Everyone's been there.
And I want you to contrast the difference.
So go ahead and comment.
Now, here's where the magic
in this whole framework comes together.
Now that you've defined where you are,
and where you want to be,
now you get to define how you can do a series of challenges,
whether this is over the course of a few years,
or the course of a few months.
So where you can go from now
to your big hairy audacious goal.
Now this is where the magic really started
to come together for me.
A lot of times people will tell you,
"Go for something achievable,
"go for something measurable."
That was uninspiring.
But when I started to really define my North Star,
my big hairy goal,
and then I started to break down smaller challenges
that had me focus on smaller things,
that went and took me towards that big goal,
that become magic.
Because I took on a small challenge,
and then a bigger challenge,
and then an even bigger challenge,
and it got me closer, and closer, and closer
to actually accomplishing my big goal.
It allowed me to actually set a big goal,
and actually go after smaller outcomes
along the way,
through these 45-day challenges,
multiple challenges
that got me to change my trajectory
and go towards where I wanted to be.
And that way I was inspired,
because I knew the short, small-term outcome
that I'm driving towards is important,
towards the larger piece.
And as I did more and more of those,
it helped me build momentum.
You follow those three steps,
you now know how to actually set shorter-term goals
and get focused,
and drive towards a larger goal
that you get really excited about.
But here's the problem,
you probably might not know,
I didn't know this,
until I really researched it,
you might not know how to take this big goal,
and break it into smaller term challenges.
You might not actually know
how to do these 45-day challenges,
so that you can actually accomplish that bigger goal.
This is why I created an entire guide.
It's called a 45-Day Unstoppable Beast Mode Guide.
It defines for you how to actually think about your goal.
How to break it down into smaller pieces,
and how to actually run these 45-day challenges.
There's a specific way to do these.
I've done hundreds of these
and there's unique ways to set these up
so that you're successful.
So you do these challenges,
go and accomplish that big goal,
and then keep growing in your life.
Look, it's time to get your butt in gear.
And it's time to let go of the excuses.
It's time to get focused.
