Goal setting is an art and a science, but there are frameworks you can use. 

The one I find most effective is called the PACT framework. It works well for a few reasons.

1. Accountability: The Pact Framework emphasizes the importance of creating a public commitment to your goal by sharing it with others. This creates a sense of accountability that can motivate you to stay on track and make progress towards your goal.
2. Incremental progress: The Pact Framework also emphasizes the importance of setting small, achievable goals that lead to incremental progress over time. This helps to build momentum and confidence, making it easier to stick to your goal over the long term.
3. Flexibility: The Pact Framework is flexible and adaptable, allowing you to adjust your goals as needed based on feedback and changing circumstances. This helps to ensure that your goals remain relevant and achievable, even in the face of unexpected challenges.

ChatGPT wrote this description below about AI (it took 5 seconds to create):

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform industries and disrupt traditional business models. By using machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics, AI can automate routine tasks, improve decision-making processes, and create new products and services.

One of the most significant impacts of AI will be on the labor market, as jobs that involve repetitive tasks are increasingly automated. This trend is already visible in industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and customer service.

In addition to changing the nature of work, AI will also create new business opportunities. Companies that can effectively leverage AI will have a competitive advantage over those that do not. For example, AI can help businesses analyze customer data to provide more personalized and targeted marketing, or optimize supply chains to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

However, there are also potential downsides to AI disruption. As jobs are lost to automation, there may be a growing inequality gap between those who have the skills to work with AI and those who do not. Additionally, there are concerns around data privacy and the ethical implications of AI decision-making.

Overall, the disruption caused by AI will be significant, but its potential benefits make it a transformative technology that will shape the future of many industries.

Loss aversion bias. Sounds boring but its an incredibly pervasive problem we naturally have.

It's basically just saying that humans feel twice the amount of psychological pain over losing vs they pleasure they feel from gaining.

In lamen's terms, you'll be more sad about losing $20 than you will about winning $20.

This is an instinct to protect ourselves that often gets in the way of big opportunities.

When I finally started to recognize this and realized that calculating upside and comparing it to the downside helped me get over it, my life changed in ways beyond investing.

It's crucial if you want to get rich quickly and ever want to become a millionaire.

It's rare I make a blanket statement but this is the hill I choose to die on.

If you don't have a budget, you don't really care about your future that much.

I just got off a call that I ended early because someone "had their budget in their head" to which I corrected them, no, they didn't have a budget.

So if you don't have one, download the Greatest Budget Template Ever Created for free and go fill it out. You'll instantly be better off than 2/3 of the people in this country.

Budgets are NOT about being so cheap you can't have fun. Budgets are about spending intentionally.

Millionaires have budgets. I have plenty of money and I have a budget. It helps me get what I want faster!

And that's what this will do for you. Whether your goal is financial freedom, to travel the world, buy a house or start a business, you need a budget.

Every journey starts with a reason or it will soon be abandoned. These 10 questions came from Simon Sinek's book Start With Why and helped me define my WHY statement.

This became a guiding principle for my life and caused me to do some soul searching that ultimately led to me quitting my job and starting my own company.

It's been really fascinating to see how this has caused me to focus like never before and make massive strides personally.

The other real world benefit to this is money. I have made more by focusing on the things that really mattered to me and felt more passion for the work I do because of it.

Most people want to start investing but don't have a lot of money to begin. I'll show you 3 ways that you can take $100 and get a massive return from it.

I've done this multiple different times throughout my life and I continue to do so and it keeps proving true.

The 3 things breakdown to investing in different elements of yourself:
1. Skills
2. Knowledge
3. Network

Most people don't view investing in themselves as an investment, but it is the number one thing you can do that will lead to increasing your net worth over time.

When you start leveraging these and building them up, you will see the payoff through higher pay, more job offers and confidence in yourself.

Do you work from home or remotely? I talk about the 4 S's of a home office and important principles you'll need to follow or no amount of gear will matter.

I've been working from home for over a decade now and I've worked everywhere from my newborn baby's room to the big dedicated room I have now.

The gear and desk are obviously important, but there are other elements that go into making your home office setup effective and help boost you to reach max productivity.

Your home office is as much about your mindset as it is the physical location. That has to be in the right place before you can become the most efficient worker.
