Find the feeling of your goal

It's the end of the year and you're thinking about what's next. But here's what most people get wrong about goals.

I'm not talking about those 10-year vision things or tiny incremental goals. I'm talking about something so big it changes how you live right now.

A goal that's actually worth your time has to grab your attention and redirect your entire day. And you don't build to it over months or years. You start living it today.

Featured Story

I just got off my 7 a.m. Wednesday morning call with my inner circle. Two years ago, I would've hated that idea.

But this group? They're doing the work. We spent the whole call talking about what it means to set a goal that's actually big enough to matter.

The holiday chaos is happening. We're all wrapping up the year, buying presents, eating too much, dealing with everything. But underneath all that noise, we're thinking about next year.

And the question isn't just "what do I want?" It's "what am I willing to live right now?"

Important Points

• Your big-ass goal isn't about your career or your health or your relationships separately—it's the whole picture of the life you want to live, and everything else has to support that vision.
• If your goal doesn't grab your attention and run with it, it's not big enough, because a real goal directs everything you do instead of waiting for leftover minutes at the end of your day.
• You don't build to your goal over time—you start living it today by doing only the actions that align with who you're trying to become, even if it's not perfect yet.

Memorable Quotes

"A goal so big that you see yourself living it today, even though it's not exactly what you want it to be, but you know you're on your way because you're doing it every day anyway."

"I know you don't know, but if you did, what would it be? In that moment, hope and inspiration arrive. And that feeling arrives."

"You might not know what to call it, you might not know exactly what it looks like. You don't even know how to spell it, man. You know what it feels like."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

1. Define your big-ass goal as the complete picture of the life you want—not divided into categories, but as one integrated vision that includes your career, relationships, health, and impact on the world.
2. Make your goal big enough that it demands your attention every single day and start living it immediately instead of building a plan to get there eventually.
3. Simplify everything else in your life by clearing out the clutter and complications that keep you from living in your goal right now.
