We say well there's no point in setting the goal to get the car because I don't have money for the car.

1:08.0

Where is the thing if you had money for the car you probably wouldn't set a goal for you would just actually just go out and get the car see that's the fun thing about goals is that when we set them those goals should stretch us right you don't want to know exactly how you're going to achieve the goal again that's the fun part you want to set the what you want to have the why and the how just kind of plays out it is kind of unfolds before you.

2:22.0

And you plant the seed in the subconscious mind you kind of find yourself just taking the actions and putting yourself in the situation that attracts the people or attracts the money and it brings the resources that's going to get you towards your goal but you have to get specific first you have to stretch yourself and you have to get clear on the what's and your why and just understand that the how is going to play out here's Earl.
