This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes from Mike.
I did your brainstorming exercise where you asked us to write down all the things we would be, do, or have if money was no issue .
I noticed two things as I was doing this exercise. I flew through it and had all these ideas… but I found myself grabbing the one that I really liked and actually started working on it. I was like, “Wait a minute, I’ve got to keep brainstorming.” So I kept coming up with more ideas. All of a sudden I thought, “Wow, there’s so many ideas here. I’m not sure where to start.” Can you say a little bit about that?
Absolutely.
In order to chunk it down, you would ask yourself, “What do I want the most?”
What are you ready to either change or do the most? And which one will you follow through on more than the others?
During the first 90 days of my TEM program (The Elite Mind), the focus is on building a foundation of being your word. Every day, you practice keeping your word. Once you have it, we can start building anything on top of that that we want.
But if you’re constantly bouncing back and forth, if you’re in fear, if you’re sabotaging—it doesn’t matter what somebody gives you to do; you don’t have the wherewithal to follow through on it. So, the idea is…
Pick the thing you want the most that you’re willing to follow
through on the most. Then, let’s build the foundation under that.
The problem I see is that most people are very nervous about picking the wrong thing. They’ll have a difficult time deciding on what they want. So they’ll say, “Well, what would be the easiest thing for me to stick to?” That’s not good enough.
Or they’ll think their goal needs to be hard, difficult, or that they need to sacrifice themselves. No, you don’t. That’s not true. That’s just what we’ve all been taught.
Your goal can be easy right from the start if you pick something you really want to do. So, pick something you really want to do and start building. Everything starts from there.
