The Mark Divine Show

In his solocast today, the Commander talks about Front Sight Focus and Bullet-proofing your mission, more principles from the Anniversary edition of his book “The Way of the SEAL.” In a previous podcast, he focused on how to define your goals, and in this episode he gives his attention to properly focusing and breaking your vision down into separate, achievable missions.

Learn about:

• Front sight focus: Make sure the you are able to radically focus on the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason
• The 80-20 rule. We spend 80% of our time on non-productive work, and 20% on doing things that are useful. Hear how we need to flip that ratio to get things done.
• Bullet-proof your mission: hear about the SEAL practice of “dirt diving,” or practicing your mission, so that you can be prepared for whatever might happen.

The mind is where all goals and achievements get their start. So it is essential that you learn how to win in your mind before you ever enter the field.
