Ninja Selling Podcast Planning to Enjoy the Journey
Today's topic is a timely one as everyone has been working on their business plans with the end of the year approaching and the new year just around the corner. Matt and Garrett once again highlight the importance of making this plan, and want to add one particular piece to apply to it, and that is to plan for a business journey that you will actually enjoy. One insight that Garrett's father made that has really stuck with him over time is that a lot of people build a plan that they don't really necessarily enjoy, and that's what our hosts want to remedy here today.
Garret begins with the poignant story about that conversation with his dad while he was battling lung cancer, the biggest takeaway for Garret from this conversation, and his disappointment in people beating themselves up for not achieving a goal. Our hosts then delve deeper into how many people are planning a business to enjoy the journey to the goal, the power of that mindset, increasing your income per hour to have the life you want, and the questions to ask yourself when developing your plan. You are in charge of your planning, and you know the quality of life you want to achieve, so don't stop believing in creating a plan for a journey you'll actually enjoy, and not one that will end up being as, let's say, 'unsettling' as listening to Matt singing Journey!

Quotes:
"If you build a path that you can enjoy the journey, you never fail on the goal."
"I need to take a look at not so much pushing the goal, but maybe really focusing on how I adjust my day-to-day relationship with my business so that I'm enjoying this path that I'm on."
"Money doesn't buy happiness."
"I want you to put the big goals out, and I want you to find drive and passion to go after and accomplish those."
"There's nothing in this world that you have to do. You just have to accept the results of the things that you do."
"They're not perfectly correlated in that, well, if the goal gets bigger, that means the enjoyment of the journey has to go down - not the case. In fact, they can ride together, upward.
"Human beings and guided missiles are very similar - they need a couple of pieces of information to hit goals."
"What the guided-missile doesn't do that people do is people care where we were launched from, the guided-missile doesn't."
