StoryShots Book Summary and Analysis of Your Best Year Ever: A 5-Step Plan for Achieving Your Most Important Goals

Introduction

Your Best Year Ever is a self-help book that examines goal-setting across different areas of your life. The book includes Hyatt's process to help high achievers become more productive, improve their work-life balance, enhance their relationships, and optimize their happiness and health. He believes your best year will only take five hours and five steps to plan. This plan will triple your chances of achieving your goals. 

Michael Hyatt’s Perspective

Michael Hyatt is the founder and CEO of Michael Hyatt & Co, a leadership development firm specializing in live events, workshops, and digital and physical planning tools. Hyatt was previously chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers. He is also a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of several books. His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fast Company, Businessweek, and Entrepreneur. He currently runs a popular blog and podcast alongside his leadership training activities. 

Hyatt's perspective comes from decades as a leadership consultant and trainer. He distilled the book's content from individual coaching sessions, webinars, and workshops. 

Who Is This Book For?

Your Best Year Ever is for those who struggle with motivation (e.g., while keeping new year resolutions). It will also serve people who want to make changes in their lives but aren't sure how to go about them and those who let their negative thoughts hold them back from taking action.

StoryShot #1: The First Step Is To Believe the Possibility

The first fundamental difference between an unfulfilled goal and achieving success is believing that it is possible. If you focus on improving your beliefs, your circumstances will also improve unknowingly. Our expectations determine our perception and how we act. In turn, these perceptions and actions influence our outcomes. For example, Hyatt’s family used an electronic collar on their dog to warn it not to stray too far. Whenever the dog walked too far from Hyatt’s household, the collar would lightly vibrate. The dog quickly learned not to cross the exact barrier Hyatt’s family had linked with the collar, even after the family removed the collar. This is an example of a thought-based barrier becoming a reality.
