First a very warm welcome to @Berna Biggs 🥳 I used to think I was good at setting goals. I was wrong. I recently watched a video with Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Myron Golden, and it completely shattered my mindset. Here is the core realization: I’ve been setting goals wrong my entire life. Most of us set Logical Goals. - I made $50k last year, so I'll aim for $60k this year. - I want to start a business in 5 years. The problem? If the current version of you knew how to get to your dream life, you’d already be living it. Logical goals don't force you to grow. They don't require you to transform. They just keep you stuck in what I call the "Pool of Mediocrity"... the zone where you’re just making small, incremental jumps that don't actually change the trajectory of your life. If you want a radically different life, you need an Impossible Goal. What is an Impossible Goal? It’s a goal so big that it forces you to completely break your current identity. It forces you to become somebody else because the current you literally cannot solve the problem. There are two ways to do this: 1. Think Way Bigger Instead of $60k, what if you aimed for $30 million? Why? Because your brain will justify whatever premise you give it. If you ask, "How do I get to $60k?", your brain looks for incremental ways. If you ask, "How do I get to $30M?", your brain is forced to look for exponential growth. 2. Collapse the Timeline Take your existing (logical) goal and cut the time in half. Or drastically. - Goal: Own a pro soccer team by age 55. - Impossible Goal: Own a pro soccer team by age 30. The "Why" Behind the Timeline Collapse: If you give yourself 30 years to become a millionaire, you will justify laziness. You’ll take days off because you have "plenty of time." If you give yourself 12 months, you have no time to waste. You are forced to change your habits, your friends, and your actions immediately. It’s terrifying. But it's the only way to level up.
