| 0:00.0 | Get your mind right. It's 2017. So that means for the next three weeks, we got to hear all about people's New Year's resolutions. And all those with the New Year's resolution mentality, which is the opposite from the Omnight You mentality. You know why? Because most people set New Year's resolutions and most people |
| 0:21.1 | don't reach them. But good thing, you got the I'm not you mentality. But let's break this down |
| 0:26.0 | even further. Why is it that people set these goals and never reach them? And why is it that some |
| 0:31.1 | people think that just because they reach a goal, that all is well. I was talking to somebody the other |
| 0:36.7 | day and they were talking about how they reached all their goals in 2016. And I thought about it. I'm like, if you set goals, the right type of goals, you will not reach all of them. And that's not the point. The point of goals is not to reach them and be done. Goals are benchmark. They're the scoreboard and they tell you |
| 0:56.5 | how consistently you're living up to the standard that you set for yourself. So I want to encourage |
| 1:01.5 | you to do what most people don't do at the beginning of the new year. I want you to thoroughly |

| 1:11.1 | check and decide who it is that you want to be and what type of results that you want |
| 1:15.1 | to accomplish consistently, systematically. How thoroughly do you want to dominate and how |
| 1:20.2 | consistently would you like to do that? Getting ready to watch Alabama win another championship. |
| 1:25.5 | Nick Saban's goals at the beginning of the year is not to win a championship. |
| 1:29.0 | That's not what the goal is. |
| 1:30.9 | The goal is to consistently raise the standard and to step their game up consistently. |
| 1:36.4 | To perform at a high level. |
| 1:38.9 | To train at a high level. |
| 1:40.3 | To prepare at a high level. |
| 1:41.9 | And to give maximum effort. |
| 1:43.5 | And by doing that that the results take |
| 1:45.3 | care of themselves so to get a championship and they fall back to your regular baseline is a loss |
| 1:51.0 | that's a loss a win is to go all out push yourself become more and if you don't reach the goal |
| 1:58.2 | you can live with that because you know why, you're going to keep raising a standard. |
