Summary
Long term goal setting is a waste of your time and energy. This goes against most of the personal development industry with setting 10 year and 5 year plans but what these don't take into account is the ever evolving nature of business and your own curiosity. If you just stick to the long term plan, A) it could become outdated and B) you'll miss on chances to explore your interests and curiosity and potentially hit on something really solid you hadn't planned for. Listen in as I explain more. Topics include:
- Argument Against Long Term Goal Setting
- Free 5K Course
- The Driver of Growth
- My Example for College
- The Goal Post with Always Be Moving
- There is No End Point

| 0:00.0 | Here's my argument against why long-term goals don't make sense. |
| 0:03.5 | So a lot of people, they spend and waste so much time waiting for the perfect plan or neglecting, |
| 0:09.3 | taking action because it's like, I don't know what my one-year plan is. |
| 0:12.5 | Or, well, if I do this thing today, I don't know exactly where that's going to lead. |
| 0:16.7 | And they miss the opportunity for the unknown. |
| 0:20.0 | Let me give you an example. If you just continue |
| 0:22.5 | to pursue your curiosity and opportunities, let me say this again, if you just continue to pursue |
| 0:29.8 | your curiosity, okay, opportunities that you never knew existed are going to show up by simply |
| 0:36.2 | taking action on the opportunity that's in front of |
| 0:38.4 | you right now. Whatever you're interested in, whatever the opportunity is, whatever skill |
| 0:41.8 | opportunity you have there to develop, you'll come up on an opportunity that you never thought |
| 0:45.8 | was possible. But if you don't take action and if you're sitting there thinking, well, I don't |
| 0:49.3 | know exactly what this leads to or I don't know where I'm going to be or what the plan is. You're going to miss so much opportunity. All right. That's the thing you have to remind yourself |
| 0:58.6 | of is that you might not even know where you want to be in the long term, but if you keep doing |
| 1:03.0 | stuff that you're good at and you continue to improve your craft, opportunities that far exceed |
| 1:08.3 | what you might have thought possible are going to pop up. And I can speak on |
| 1:11.7 | firsthand experience that this happens because that's happened in my life. What up squad? Welcome |
| 1:16.5 | back to the FitBiz podcast. Jordan here with a solo episode that I think is going to be massively |
| 1:21.7 | valuable. Just trust me. There's going to be some fucking bombs in this one. So my point and thesis to this |
| 1:28.2 | episode is basically why as a business owner or creator, entrepreneur, whatever the fuck you want |
| 1:34.0 | to call yourself, you shouldn't set goals. And what I mean here is long term goals, right? And especially |
| 1:40.4 | in the beginning. Now, as you grow and as your business does expand and you start hiring |
