How To Get To Mars: Thinking about Big Goals Differently


Listen Later

If there's something in your life that you want and don't currently have, this episode is for you. I am excited to share some ideas about how to think about goals differently.

Recently, I started working towards a goal of my own that's felt pretty elusive, honestly.

During this process, I noticed I had the thought, "This is just as likely as going to Mars." Which made me feel really defeated.

To feel like one of our goals is impossible just leaves us feeling like there's nowhere left to go.

But the next morning, I woke up and thought,

"Okay. If NASA was going to Mars, how would they do it? What would their actual step-by-step process be to getting to Mars?"

And of course I came up with a few ideas, like desire, budget, plan. And that led me to wondering what that would look like for me and my goal, if I distilled this big process down to the main things I would need to do…

And that's what I want to share with you today.

So think about something YOU want, that's yours and yours alone (meaning, something you have control over to a certain degree) and let's get ready to apply these four principles to what you want to accomplish.

Listen and learn more about:

  • How to be very clear about what you want

  • The power of committing more to the process than the outcome

  • Dispelling the idea that you have to accomplish your goals alone

  • Why you should also think about what's in the way of your goals
