Episode Description We've got the planet in sight. Today you name your Mars mission, the one goal so big it almost scares you to say it out loud. Forget the vision board the size of a wall. You don't need ten goals. You need one, the single goal that makes everything else either serve it or fall away. The right goal pulls you. You'd chase it even if nobody else cared or noticed. The wrong one just pushes you around to impress other people. Today we find the one that's been sitting on the tip of your tongue. Come name it. Featured Story I had a client once with a Harley-Davidson on his vision board. He made good money, so I told him to take it off the board and go buy the thing. He hesitated. Said maybe he'd put two-thirds down and carry a small payment. I told him I don't give financial advice; just go buy your motorcycle. He did. Loved every minute of it. Then he called me back. Now I have a payment, Scott. Thank you; great coaching. The point wasn't the bike. A vision board the size of a wall keeps real goals at arm's length. Sometimes the move is to stop dreaming and just go get it. Important Points You don't need ten goals or a giant vision board. You need one goal big enough to make the rest serve it or fall away. Spread your fuel across ten rockets, and none of them leave the ground. Pour it into one, and that one actually flies. The right goal pulls you, and you chase it for its own sake. The wrong goal pushes you to impress people who don't care. Memorable Quotes You need one goal. The single biggest goal that makes everything else either serve it or fall away. It's your mission. Spread your fuel across ten rockets, and none of them leaves the ground. Pour it into one rocket, and you get to go. The right goal pulls you. You'd chase it even if nobody cared. The wrong goal pushes you. Pick the one that pulls you. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by pushing your goal bigger and bigger, past comfortable, until you reach the scary one sitting on your tongue. Next, pour all your fuel into that single rocket, letting everything smaller either serve the mission or fall away. Then run the freedom check, keeping the goal only if nailing it hands you the whole life and freedom you actually want.
