You're like, all right, so you got this product. It's a new kind of computer. What are your Q1 goals for profits? You're like 10 trillion. They're like, are you on drugs right now? Like who says things like that? But you're like, well, I was saying big, like, okay, but if we give you 10 trillion of capital and you don't spend it appropriately, we lose so much on interest that we all go broke.

There's a cost to shooting for goals that are impossible. And here's the worst one. I think probably it's the psychological cost. of having really poured your heart and soul into a plan that most nutritionists could have looked at and been like, you're not, this is crazy. You're not going to be able to do this. You're like, I got it, bro. No worries. You just never talked to anyone.

And then you pour everything into it. You try so dang hard. And then on the end, you just fall apart. It breaks you and you start regaining the weight. And You consider yourself an ineffectual person. You lose a substantial amount of self-efficacy of self-belief. It's good to succeed on average more than you fail in life because it teaches your brain like, I'm a competent person who can do things.

And someone's like, hey, do you want to start a 5K running program? You're like, yes. And they're like, are you sure you're going to be able to stick to it? You're like, well, generally, I stick to most things. But listen, it's not very hard to set so many goals up that are so exotically crazy for yourself that you have almost no chance of achieving them.

you're just not good at starting things or doing things and then next time you feel like changing your life your brain is going to low-key be like that's not an us thing we don't do that we fail remember and you're like yeah well it's not for me and so a lot of people try dieting but do it way wrong mostly because they take these crazy bites out of this like mouth more full than you can breathe air through type of situation you know a snake consuming the elephant type of goal and and then they burn out of it and then over time they learn that just dieting is not something that works for them but it
