I'll spend more time with my kids, whatever their goal was. And what I found out was that no matter what category, no matter what it is that those people wanted to do, 94% of the people surveyed dropped their goals within the first 60 days.
One of the things that the 6%ers do differently is they pick one goal at the time for 30 days and do only that. So rather than trying to do this and this and this and that, overwhelm your brain, drop the whole thing. They say, okay, for the next 30 days, I'm going to go to the gym every day at six o'clock. Repeat, repeat, repeat for 30 days. It automates that new behavior in the brain.

Then they pick another goal. Then they pick another. The domino effect of rather than overwhelming yourself with a lot of things, getting overwhelmed, drop the whole thing. How do you get really specific and granular and nail down those new habits one at a time every 30 days?

So think about it this way, Mike. Let's say that the beginning of the year you had, I'm just going to come up with a random number. You had 12 goals for yourself. And let's say, because you're talking about what happens if I drop the ball, which happens to so many people, because you know what? We're human. We're not machines. We're not robots. Life gets in the way.

And it can be that you couldn't go to the gym or it could be that you wanted to save this much money every month and you had this whole system or every week. And then a big expense came, something. Life happens. And so what the six percenters do differently is they say, OK, instead of saying, OK, I have 12 goals, get overwhelmed, drop the whole thing. Let's say that they have 12 goals.

They kill them one at the time, nail them one at the time. And let's say that in the course of the year, Mike, you dropped your goal. You dropped the ball on... Four things. You were still able to automate eight different new healthy behaviors in the course of the year. That's a huge amount of change. Now think about year two. Now think about year three. That's a transformation.

So the system is very simple. The system says, hey, you dropped the ball on something that you wanted to do. Don't beat yourself up. Don't be hard on yourself. All you need to do is go back to the beginning line.

Yeah. Yeah. I love how you bring that up, Mike, because, you know, sometimes the things that frustrate us, when people talk about goals, they think, oh, big, you know, I'm going to change the world. No, no, no. Most of people have goals that start from very everyday things, you know, and that's the right place to start. You start with the small things and you start building those new habits.
