How To Build Such A Compelling Future Without Alcohol You Won't Want To Drink
Click this link for more information or visit andyramagetraining.com On Tuesday lunchtime, I was reminded of a story demonstrating the power of goals.And why, if you don’t program your brain with clear goals, you wind up in trouble.I was training over 60 coaches within my self-development group, the Inner Circle.To begin, I recalled a story.It was a freezing morning on the 1st of January 2021. We were in the middle of the COVID epidemic, and the world was uncertain about its future. But I was crystal clear.In my hands was a picture an incredible artist, Jo Morley, had created for me. As I hung the picture on my wall, I stepped back, took a deep breath, and focused intently on the image.The picture was a visual representation of my BHAG goals. It was inspired by the genius of Jim Collins, who wrote, Good to Great, one of the best books you will ever read on business. These were Big Hairy Audacious Goals. The types of goals that feel out of reach. I planned to put this picture where I could see it every day so I could burn these goals into my soul. It worked. Five years later, almost all of these BHAG goals had become a reality or were in progress. It’s not luck. I knew exactly what I was doing.Those with clear goals will outperform those without. Goals are the lifeblood of success.Why do goals work?When we set a goal, we make an emotional connection to this goal. These emotions wake our subconscious brain to the importance of this goal. Then, something incredible happened. Your brain creates a filter for your goal. All of a sudden, you notice people, places, and resources you need.Often, you will experience serendipitous moments that feel almost magical. But the truth is that these people, places and resources were always there, but your brain didn’t know they were important.This is how the trouble begins.If you leave your brain untrained, it will filter what it thinks is most important based on its evolutionary programming. The massive problem is that evolution does not care for your happiness. It only cares about survival and getting your genes into the next generation. These evolutionary traits are often negative. Your evolutionary instincts are anxious, fearful, and paranoid. It cares too much about keeping everyone happy, compares, and agonises over status.But when you take charge of your inner world and set meaningful goals, you create the right filters.You train your brain.Your goals drown out the negative.And that’s why goals make us happy!!!Instead of your brain misfiring its energy on the negative. It will focus its power on reaching your dreams.I ran my goals experiment to test this theory.And it worked.And it will do the same for you. Here is your challenge for today.Set one BHAG goal.Put it somewhere you can see it.Keep it in focus, and let your brain do the work.Let me know what you choose.Your coach Andy PS - Don’t just set BHAG goals train with me to achieve yours!! It was training as a coach that allowed me to reach my BHAG goals. And I want to share this gift of coaching with you.
