Choosing to detach from an outcome, can seem extremely conflictual, and it is hard for people to understand.One of the common questions I get is this: “How do you have goals yet remain detached from an outcome?” The truth is, I’m very driven toward the goals I set. I try to take my ego and time, two driving factors for many, out of my goal setting. What I do is this: I set a goal, and at the same time, I detach my happiness from the goal.I do not create an immediate plan to get to my goal. My plan, when I start out, is simply to provide value toward that overall goal every single day, making sure I put forth a minimum amount of effort toward the achievements I want and “raising the bar” each day as I proceed, in order to build momentum.

Knowing who to trust is key for not only business success, but personal success, as well. What I use in order to make the determination on which people to believe (and invest in) is a two-step process that I call trust and vet.Distrusting everyone is no way to approach life and the same can be said about blindly trusting everyone, but I prefer to take a more positive perspective to start. Give people the benefit of doubt when you initially interact, rather than taking a skeptic approach to those you meet.Tweet me @davidmeltzer your favorite takeaway from today's episode and come ask me questions live every Friday at 11:00 am PST / 2:00 pm EST.
