Your Goal is Not to Arrive.

Hi, 

Little late night Sunday reset for you this week. 

I have been thinking about resetting my goals a lot recently. You see, I have an issue, I have been setting goals the “correct” way, they have been smart. But as I have done that, I have been really focusing on the results rather than the real purpose of a goal… who am I becoming. 

The kind of person I want to become doesn’t necessarily have all the accolades that I strive for, but the kind of person I want to become lives the life necessary to summiting those mountain tops. 

The purpose of the goal is not the result, but the life that supports the goals behaviors. 

So how do you build a goal with behaviors in mind? 

It’s all about scaling the logic. 

Let’s say this is your goal: I want to run a marathon. 

How would you focus on the behaviors that get you there rather than the actual result? 

Imagine yourself finishing the marathon, and a reporter jumps out of the bushes and asks you how did you do it? How did you run this marathon? 

You would probably say something like:

• I ran a lot of miles

• I ate pretty healthy

• I got a lot of sleep

• I did some injury prevention weight training. 

Okay, so you know what you would say, therefore, you know what you would do. 

Let’s do another. 

I want to become a Linkedin Influencer.  

• I consumed as much content on my topic as I could

• I applied theories in my business

• I wrote about my findings

• I connected with people in my niche.

You know what to do, nothing is a secret anymore. Youtube is the library of Alexandria and AI is the world’s greatest teacher. The content for how to do the thing you want to do is out there. 

All you have to do is build a life where you break off a piece of the work daily and follow through. 

I will finish with an Alex Hormozi quote followed by a quote from Naval.

Your goal is not to arrive, your goal is to enjoy the process of arriving. 

Toodles, 

Kyle
