Most goal-setting fails because it starts with the goal. This starts with the person you'd have to become.

Aaron Norris, sales coach and author, draws on high-pressure sales at Amazon and years of coaching high performers to share a structured method for getting genuinely clear on what you want.

What you’ll learn:

• Writing the email from your future self, and why it works

• Defining what success actually looks like for you specifically

• Moving from goal-setting to goal-getting

• Becoming the kind of person who makes it happen

• Turning a long-term vision into something you can act on today

• Using reflection as a tool rather than a nice idea

If you feel stuck, distracted, or ready for a reset.

• Who the show is for, and the problems it sets out to help with

• Why every episode comes with a free, ungated tool

• How guests are chosen, and what makes a good one

• What to expect from the conversations ahead

Start here if you're new.
