The Hidden Danger of Being Too Attached to Outcomes


Listen Later

Are your goals driving you—or draining you?

In this month’s sit-down with my brother Brendon Burchard, we break open something rarely talked about but absolutely critical if you're chasing success: the difference between being committed to your goals and being attached to them. We’re not here to dish out motivational fluff—this is a raw conversation about mastering presence, building true rhythm in your life, and not letting your need for results rob you of your ability to perform at your best.


Brendon and I talk about how most people get lost in the micro—obsessing over metrics, routines, and outcomes—while completely missing the bigger picture. Goals aren’t the problem; attachment is. I share the metaphor of a pro golfer who misses an easy putt—not because he lacks skill, but because he’s mentally fast-forwarding to what it means if he makes or misses. And in life, just like on the course, the moment you get needy, you drop your frequency.


We also dive into what I’ve learned through experience and faith—how the real shift came when I started surrendering the harvest to God. Your job is to plant the seeds, do the work, show up—but the outcome? That’s not yours to control. I want you to think about this: who are you becoming? Because your state of being will take you further than any checklist or protocol ever will.


Brendon and I just wrapped an unforgettable Ultra VIP event in Austin, where we went deep with a small group of high achievers on topics like these. If you're ready to experience this level of connection and transformation in person, check out Ultra.VIP for more details.


Key Takeaways:

  • Why presence matters more than pressure in moments of execution
  • The difference between being needy for a goal and committed to a vision
  • How “working the rhythm” can outperform chasing the result
  • Why surrendering the outcome increases your ability to perform
  • The identity shift from achiever to warrior—and how it changes everything
  • What it really means to move in a direction instead of chasing random goals

  • If this hits home for you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Max out.
