Hi my name is Louis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

I firmly believe that taking charge of your mindset allows you to be in the driver's seat of your life and unlock your potential.

And that's why I'm thrilled to share that my new book is out right now.

It's called The Greatness Mindset. In it you'll learn how to build a plan for greatness through powerful exercises and toolkits designed to propel your life forward. This is the book that I wish I had 20 years ago.

It's everything I've learned in the last decade with the research and the science to

help you unlock your mind. Make sure to go to Lewishouse.com slash 2023 mindset to pick up your copy of my book The Greatness Mindset today.

Deadlines are a weird word because they have the word dead in them. I am super disciplined

about deadlines. I have never missed a deadline.

Some people need that tension that comes from being five minutes late.

I abhor that.

I want to go nowhere near that.

So for me it's fuel.

For other people it might be turbo fuel because they need that five minute over thing.

But there are other people who it completely destroys their work. So you've

got to figure out how do you engage with that. But goals is a different thing. So I was talking to

somebody I wish I could give them credit who was explaining to me that goals are externally focused.

Meaning if you say my goal is to be a millionaire, that isn't up to you.

It's only partly from you and the rest of it is luck.

And so if you're going to say I'm a good person because I'm lucky, now you're really in trouble.

Instead, what we need are practices.

That thing we call our goal is, I'm going to be the kind of person that ships this much work each day that gets out of bed at this time that manages their expenses so they're always one third of I mean you can make a list of things that are completely under your control.

Call those your goals and wipe out anything
