In this episode we chat about why it’s going to take a lot longer and be more difficult than you think to achieve your goals, regardless of what social media gurus try to sell you.
We discuss the idea of how survivorship bias plays into only hearing from people that have crossed the finish line of a goal and why there’s always a missing part of that story that gets left out or ignored.
Another topic we chat about is why self doubt is a positive thing, and how that can be leveraged to overcome obstacles on the way to a big goal you want to achieve.
The beauty of staying committed to big goals in every area of your life is you can have a graveyard of failures, but it only takes being right once to fundamentally change your life.
Some Topics We Discussed Include:
What Jit Jitsu can teach you about life and goals.
Two powerful books that will change how you think forever.
Why Alex and Nick disagree on gratitude and manifesting.
The crucial role of your identity in sticking with goals.
How to use a simple night time routine to set up success the next day.
