016: Setting Goals and Pursuing Dreams

James Fuller

In this episode we discuss Setting Goals and Pursuing Dreams.

Setting Goals
1. Power of Proximity - Surround yourself with positive people
2. Have a Vision - Don't limit your vision by historical boundaries
3. Breakdown Barriers
    Roger Bannister = sub 4:00 minute mile
    Eliud Kipchoge = sub 2:00 hour marathon
Something seemingly impossible can turn into a very attainable goal once someone proves it's possible.
4. Barrier to Entry: Do the hard thing. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
        The higher the barrier the entry the harder it will be. Higher Risk = Higher Reward
        Lower Barrier to entry = Lower Risk and more people doing it


Pursuing Dreams
1. **Define Your Dream:** Clearly articulate what your dream is. Be specific about your goals and envision what success looks like for you.

2. **Set SMART Goals:** Break down your dream into smaller, achievable goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

3. **Create a Plan:** Develop a step-by-step plan outlining the actions you need to take to move toward your dream. This plan should serve as your roadmap.

4. **Educate Yourself:** Acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for your pursuit. Continuous learning and improvement are key components of achieving dreams.

5. **Take Action:** Begin taking small, consistent steps towards your goals. Action is crucial in turning dreams into reality.

6. **Stay Persistent:** Expect challenges and setbacks. Persistence is often the key to overcoming obstacles and staying on course.

7. **Seek Support:** Surround yourself with supportive individuals who share your vision or can provide guidance. A supportive network can be invaluable.

8. **Adaptability:** Be flexible and open to adjustments. Circumstances may change, and being adaptable allows you to navigate unexpected challenges.

9. **Celebrate Milestones:** Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements along the way. Recognizing progress can boost motivation.

10. **Reflect and Adjust:** Regularly evaluate your progress, reflect on what's working and what isn't, and adjust your approach accordingly.

Remember, pursuing a dream is a journey with ups and downs. Stay focused, resilient, and committed to your vision.
