In today's episode, we discuss taking action can bring clarity to your daily life in order to help you make progress towards your goals and prevent you from falling into the hamster wheel of thinking and planning.


Call To Action

• Think of that one idea, project, or goal you’ve been wanting to accomplish and ask yourself, “What is one simple next step I can do today to start progressing towards this goal?” – Now GO DO THAT STEP!
  
  
• As you continue to go down that path, things will become clearer and you’ll start to realize one of three things: 
  
  
  1. You’ll confirm to yourself that your idea was right and you’ll continue on the path
  2. You’ll potentially run into roadblocks you didn’t expect and adjust your plan (most likely)
  3. You’ll scrap the idea because you realize it won’t work, but at least now you’ve cleared your head of that idea and have more mental room for the next idea to execute on 
• The learnings you get from this initiative will be lessons that will help you make better decisions on your future ideas.

In this episode, we discuss how to craft an identity that you aspire to be and leverage that identity as a reference point to help you make your better day-to-day decisions.

Call To Action

In a document, write out the identity of the person you truly want to be.

Not just the things he or she has like money, success, etc. –– but instead…

1. How do they carry themselves in the world? Confidence, Assertiveness, etc.
2. How do they present themselves physically?
3. What habits have they adopted?
4. What are their priorities in life?
5. What are their principles and value that they will never compromise over?

Those questions are more important because they are the inputs of life that will help you achieve outcomes of success.

Once you have that document, now you’ll have a written identity script for yourself. And when tough decisions are made, you can look back to this document and ask yourself, “What would this person do?”

This document will take you a long time to create, but once you’ve dug deep into who you truly want to become, save the document and read it every morning to remind yourself of the identity you have to adopt in order to achieve your goals in life.
