One day, I had my first ever shot of espresso and I said, "A year from now I'm going to live in Italy."
I didn't know what I would be doing there. I didn't know where I would live or how I would pay for it. But I had something to work with.
And that's all you need.
You don't have to be absolutely certain what you're aiming for. It just has to be clear enough for two things:
You definitely know when you've achieved it, and when you haven't.
You can tell when you're moving closer to the target and when you're moving away from it.
In my online community, I spend a lot of time talking about the “W” in WIND. There are a bunch of tools around Shadow Goals and the Seven Gates to uncover what you really want, the Wish.
But those tools and exercises are really only meant to keep you from wasting time on something you don't want.
What are you aiming for? How will you know when you've reached it?
I’m building a community of adventurers chasing after Audacious Goals! You will get personal coaching, support and accountability. You can unlock special gifts and trainings by winning points in a friendly competition. It’s free.
Tool of the Week: Your Messy Vision
Name something you want. Something you want to do, be, or experience. It doesn’t have to be perfectly clear, but it has to be sincere.
It also has to be more than just a whim. Your Messy Vision should be something you’ll still want a month from now (especially if you’ll achieve it by then!)
Now answer these thre questions as clearly and specifically as you can. (This is the KEY, and it’s the one part that can’t be messy):
How will you know when you’ve fulfilled your messy vision?
What signs will prove you’re getting closer?
What signs will indicate you’re moving away from your messy vision?
Get free, personal guidance to fulfil your Messy Vision
The best way to get to know yourself is by pursuing Audacious Goals.
I recently started a community where you can network with high achievers and creative souls who want to accomplish big things, just like you.
There are live calls, instructive videos, and even some friendly competition with prizes.
By the way, it’s free. The only requirement is that you’re serious about doing something awesome.
