It would be way too easy for you to tune into today’s episode just for me to help you set your goals…

We could establish where you want to be in 10 years, where you want to have traveled, what size you want your bank account to be, etc…

All that could be exciting and motivational in the moment of planning, but eventually you are going to be done with the planning and you’ll have to actually understand what to do next.

The problem most people have with their goals is that they’ll plan them out perfectly, and can be completely clear on what it is that they want to achieve…

…but then they fall into paralysis analysis instead of actually taking action so that they can be the type of person they said they wanted to be, that does the things they said they wanted to do.

I’m going to explain to you what the problem with your goals up to this point has been, and how you can make some simple changes that will immediately help you start reaching your “goals”.

By the end of this episode you’ll be one step closer to being the type of person who actually accomplishes the things they set out to do… because I am going to help you understand: • How to take actions that reflect the type of person you actually want to be.

• Why exactly it has been so HARD for you to hit your goals and how to change that for yourself immediately so that you don’t have to waste another day lost, confused, and feeling incapable…

• How to stay consistent in taking the right actions towards hitting your goals.

• My favorite brain hack that absolutely anyone can do to make it EASIER to hit your goals.
