The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field

and never score. And that's where people lose years of their life. There's so much busyness

and running up and down the field. There's so much sense of action and accomplishment

that they realize that there's no objective because they don't know what they're reaching for.

They don't know what their goal is and as deadly simple as that sounds,

step number one, have a goal, make it specific, make sure you know the rules of the game you're

playing, make sure you know what a win looks like. In fact, that may be the most important question

that you could ask yourself. The most pointed thing that you could determine in your life

is to know what does it look like to win. Once you know what it looks like to win, then you can

work backwards, then you can figure out what you need to do to score, then you can figure out the

skills that you're going to need in order to get great in order to go out and dominate in order

to be better than anyone that has ever come before you but to do that, you've got to know

what your goal is. And once you have that, as Dale Carnegie said, if you want to conquer fear,

don't sit home and think about it, go out and get busy. So now you have your goal. Now you're telling

people what you're going to do. Now you're telling yourself who you're going to become. You're

building something up inside of you but are you actually taking the action? Are you actually

getting out and doing something about it? And it is terrifying to me. How people can pacify themselves

with a sense of accomplishment simply by having a goal, simply by telling people that they're

going to do something simply by fantasizing about what they're going to accomplish. And let me tell

you right now, the thing that separates the people who dream from the people who execute is a

willingness to act. And at the end of the day, nothing is going to stop you. Not fear, not

inability, not inadequacy. The only thing that will stop you is failing to start.
