How "burning your boats" can skyrocket you to your goals
Achieving your goals can be tough. You may have a lot of competing priorities and it's easy to get discouraged. It's hard to stay motivated when you're not seeing progress. You may feel like you're stuck in a rut and don't know how to move forward. "Burning your boats" can help you achieve your goals faster than you ever thought possible. Hi! I'm Sean Osborn I'm a mindset strategist helping you find clarity, achieve growth, and make your impact on the world. There are two types of people in the world: those who take risks and those who don’t. The ones that do are rewarded with success, while the ones that don’t are doomed to a life of mediocrity. Some would say this is due to luck, or coincidence, but it's not. It's because when you stop being willing to retreat from your goals, you start moving forward towards them instead. Today we will look at how eliminating all sources of retreat can help you achieve your goals! 1. What is the concept of "burning your boats". The concept of “burning boats” is often traced back to a story associated with the conquest of the Aztec Empire by Hernán Cortés. In 1519, Hernán Cortés made the decision to burn the boats upon his arrival in Mexico, in order to motivate his men and discourage them from turning back. This act of desperation showed his determination to conquer the new land and demonstrated his faith in their success. He was about to send his armies against a powerful enemy, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them.” Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, “you see the boats going up in smoke. That means we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win. We now have no choice, we win- or we perish". They won. 2. How it can help you achieve your goals. When you want something bad enough, burning your boats is the push you need to make it happen. This phrase represents the point at which you refuse to turn back, abandon or retreat from any goal or vision. When you're no longer willing to give up on your goals, you start moving towards them instead. When you burn your boats, you're committing yourself completely to achieving your goal. There are no other options available to you – you have to succeed. This can be a major motivation booster, as it eliminates the possibility of failure. 3. My boats were burned for me :) Let's say you want to start a business. This is a major goal that will require a lot of work and dedication. But what happens if you don't succeed? What happens if things don't go as planned? Most people have an escape hatch, a plan B, and end up retreating at this point. They would give up on their dream and go back to working a day job. But this is exactly when you need to "Burn Your Boats". 4. What are the benefits of taking this kind of risk. Taking risks can be scary, but it's also incredibly rewarding. When you achieve something that you didn't think was possible, it feels amazing. You feel like you can conquer the world and nothing can stop you. On the other hand, not taking risks can be dangerous. Think about this, if you don't take risks, you are today all that you will ever be! NOW THAT'S A RISK. The phrase "burn your boats" is often used to represent the point at which you refuse to turn back, abandon or retreat from any goal or vision. When you burn your boats, you're essentially putting all of your eggs in one basket. You're committing yourself completely to achieving your goal. There are no other options available to you –you have to succeed. This can be a major motivation booster as it eliminates the possibility of failure and spurs us on towards our goals even more than before! If this sounds like something that would motivate and inspire you then take some time today (or tomorrow) and start brainstorming what ships do you need to burn? What escape hatches do you have? I hope you enjoyed this blog post! If you're looking to achieve your goals, burning your boats is a great way to do it.

The 5 Whys of Success
We all want to be successful, but it's not always clear how to achieve this goal. Most people never even come close to achieving their full potential because they don't have a process for determining what they really want in life and then taking action steps to get there. The five why's of success will help you determine the root of what really drives your desire. Once you know what's holding you back, it becomes much easier to take the necessary steps to overcome these challenges. This episode of the Thinking Big Podcast will teach you everything you need to know about how to get clarity on what will drive you to success! In this episode, we're going to talk about your five whys, and do an exercise I do with all my clients called “the five why of your five whys”. This is one of the most important exercises you can do to make sure you reach that next level. This exercise will help you build that burning desire needed to succeed at whatever it is that you're doing. These five questions are: What do I want to have?What do I want to do?What do I want to give?What do I want to be?And where do I want to go? This process is designed to determine the ultimate driving force to accomplish anything in life. It will teach you how to find your motivation and stay on track when times get tough. You won't want to miss out on this valuable information! Become more conscious of why you're doing what you're doing and how it benefits your desire Learn the importance of knowing your Why Find out how to stay motivated in life no matter what comes your way Hi, I'm Sean Osborn. I'm a mindset strategist and coach who specializes in getting people to the next level.

The Mind Part 4 - Imagination, The Programming Language of YOU
Welcome to this week’s episode of the Thinking Big Podcast. If you are new to the show, be sure to follow the podcast, this way you will be notified when new episodes are available. What changes would you make to live the life that you want? Join us today for the final episode of the Mind Series. We will learn how Imagination and Creativity is the programming language for everything we want in life. We all know that we have the ability to program our mind, our You:OS, but most of us don't really understand how. Most people think they are creative and imaginative, but in reality, we are not even scratching the surface. The problem is that you can't access your full creativity potential because there is so much interference from everything else going on around you. You need to learn how to control those distractions and focus your creativity towards what matters most for you… like reaching your goals! If we want something new in life (a job promotion, or more money, loving relationships), we need to be able to create it first with our imagination and then make it happen with our actions. It doesn't matter if the goal is big or small; without this process, nothing will change in your life! You'll learn what kills this creative force like distractions, emotions, fatigue, negative self-talk, deprivation and threats. And more importantly you will learn how to overcome these obstacles so that you can live a dream life! This is an opportunity for anyone who wants to take their creativity or imagination skills up a notch! Join us today for the final episode of the Mind Series. We will learn about Creativity and Imagination as programming language for everything we want in life. Today we will be Thinking Big on Imagination!.
