And I have been a goal accomplishing machine

since I was younger playing sports and learned about this process.

Big goals are inspiring until they become overwhelming.

And the moment overwhelm hits you, you will stop.

So the real secret is to break the goal into micro actions, small steps that you can execute daily or weekly with ease.

And then when you start tracking back one week, like, wow, look at all these things I did.

I did all these things in a week.

Amazing.

I did all these things in a month.

Amazing.

You're going to have so much progress in your life just by breaking these things down into these daily actions.

When I was learning about public speaking, I didn't start on big stages.

I remember thinking that wouldn't it be crazy if one day I spoke in front of 500 people, 5,000 people, 50,000 people?

What if I was speaking in front of arenas?

Wouldn't that be incredible?

But I was living in reality at that moment where I was broke, sleeping on my sister's couch for a year and a half in my early to mid 20s, not sure about who I was.

I had no confidence.

I had no money, no skill set, and no purpose.

And I knew that I was afraid to speak in public.

That was a big fear of mine growing up.
