Everyone talks about goals but many people are doing them wrong.

They could be missing elements of a true goal or they are making too easy or too hard.

This video will walkthrough how to make sure that you are setting goals that will move you towards success.

Do you set goals often? Do you track them? How do you know if setting goals is even working for you? Do you have BHAGs (big hairy audacious goals)?

The framework to success that's enabled me to become financially independent and do what I want when I want is due to the secrets I've learned from millionaires, athletes and hi-achievers over years.

Whether you want to buy a home, get into a college, travel to Bali and stay in the cabana huts or start building a family and having kids, creating the right goals is integral to making this happen quickly.

We are wasting our time and we know it too! So what do we do about it to get more done in less time?

First, we need to understand what Parkinson's Law is and why it impacts us every day, especially at work.

Parkinson's Law basically says that if we set aside 30 minutes to do something, it will take 30 minutes to do, even if we could have done it in 15 minutes.

A lot of times, we notice this in meetings that could've been an email or a quick chat but just keeps going on and on.

Next, I discovered that by moving my standard meeting to 20 minutes instead of 30 minutes, I freed up hours every week and got the same amount of work done in less time!

If you are someone who works from home or remotely, these principles can make a huge difference in the amount of time it takes to finish a project. Give yourself less time and you'll be shocked how you still manage to get it done!

There are some great book recommendations too like Essentialism and Procrastinate On Purpose. Links are up top.

Interviewing can be nerve-wrecking and difficult. It can also be problematic for people who haven't done it very much.

Jen Penn is a Vice President that has done thousands of interviews in her career and made hundreds of hiring decisions.

I picked her brain about the top things that recruiters and hiring managers are looking at when you are going into an interview and how to be prepared.

She drops some incredible insights about the people across the table from you and how to impress them and how not to screw it up.

The information she gives is crucial if you are someone who is looking for a new job amidst layoffs and openings in the job market.

Just this week, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Wayfair, Salesforce and other large companies have announced large layoffs to tens of thousands of workers.

Get ahead of the game now by upping your interview skills!

Are you working a 9-5 and dreaming about starting your own company? That was Shelby Clement's reality two years ago and she made one important, very low risk decision that changed her entire life.

Two years later, she's running a growing and profitable business. Even better, she's already bringing in a higher income than what she had before.

The lessons we discuss around her experiences, the skills she had to develop and how she found her first clients will give a blueprint in how you can start replacing your job without ever having to quit.

Despite having a husband and just one child at the time, the way she created her goals, got buy in and support from her spouse and then executed is a masterclass in branching out on your own.

Every year can teach us something and 2022 was a particularly hard year as our family was impacted by the recession and cancer.

But diamonds can't be made without pressure so I'm not complaining.

This year, I learned things about being a better husband, father and friend.

There were also lessons about investing and managing money during a downturn that are incredibly important. It's crazy to think that if a person started investing anytime in the last 12 years, that they've never experienced a negative year in the stock market.

This has shaken a lot of people. Well this time is an incredible way to accelerate your wealth through investing, saving and more.

Being prepared with your money, having an emergency fund, living will and other things are what will make the difference.

I made eight predictions about money, investing and random things I thought would happen last year...so was I right about them?

I made predictions around:
1) The prices of bitcoin and ethereum
2) Inflation 
3) College trends and applications
4) The NFL and Super Bowl Champions
5) Stock market returns 

And a few others. So this year, I made predictions again on some big trends that I see coming like...

1) What will the best performing social media platform be? It's not TikTok...
2) How the stock market will perform
3) Why the car market is about to blow up
4) How less people will continue to apply to college and universities
5) Economic predictions

and a few more social and economic trends. I had to make a dating prediction too!

2022 was a rough ride but I'm really hopeful for 2023. I think that it won't be smooth sailing but if you are prepared mentally and financially for what's coming, it could be a year that skyrockets your wealth!

What predictions do you have for 2023? Drop them in the comments and we can check back in a year and see how we all did!

People try and fix problems that aren't actually the root cause of their pain.

This mainly happens because there isn't a strong understanding of what the root cause of the problem is so we end up just fixing secondary problems that will just sprout up again.

If you want to really fix what's going on instead of putting a bandaid on it, you need to use the 5 Why Method to get a strong understanding of what the root cause of the problem is so you can address it.

Why should you care? How does this have anything to do with money?

Because most of our spending habits and investing problems are actually driven by our behavior. When you understand the emotional reasons behind going shopping, buying crypto or getting a new car, you will then be able to control those impulses more often.

It's worth noting this method applies to every problem from "my marriage failing" to "the sales department isn't hitting quota".

It's a powerful diagnostic tool when used correctly.

On This Episode
Will Glass is on a mission to fix financial education with high schoolers and college students. After working in tech consulting and sales, he started a business called Ostrich that works with colleges to enroll students.

It's a unique take where the app actually gamifies hitting milestones like opening up a credit line or savings account and then gives you stats to let you know how you compare to peers.

We discuss dream journals (like actual sleep dreams), financial education and the lack there of, and why behavior is so important is finance.

You can download Ostrich in any app store!
