Dreamers vs. DO-ers, belief and discipline

Henry Ford said:
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t — you’re right.”

We all have dreams. We all have goals. On this episode I want to talk about the two critical ingredients that helps us realize those dreams.

Ever since I was a kid, I had big dreams for myself. My best friends always make fun of me even till today because even back in elementary school, I would write little goals for myself in my homework pad. Little sayings like “Get over 95 on the French test.”

This begs the question. We’ve all got dreams and goals.

What is the THING that stops us from actually achieving and realizing the dreams we have for our lives?

Studies have shown that only 8% of people achieve their new year’s resolutions.

Nearly 75% of people stay committed to their goals beyond THIRTY DAYS.

So what’s the deal?

Why is it that we all want bigger things for ourselves and yet we struggle to fulfill them?

And more importantly, what is the thing that sets apart those that are successful — vs —- those keep failing to mobilize on their goals?

Some might say oh “they were born with it”

Some might say it’s luck.

Some might say it’s just hard work.

All of those things are part of the equation to achieving the success you want for yourself, but aren’t the critical thing.

In my experience, the two things that set apart those who succeed and mobilize on their goals and those who do not are BELIEF and DISCIPLINE

First, let’s talk about belief.

Ever since 1886, professional runners were trying to break a world record called the 4-minute mile.

Scientists not only said it was impossible to do, they actually warned that attempting to do so might harm the human body!

But in 1954, on a cold day in Oxford, an athlete named Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile record coming in at 3 minutes and 57.9 seconds. Just two months later, Roger Bannister broke the record AGAIN except this time with one more person: John Landy. Just a year later, three runners broke the four-minute barrier again in just a single race. After Roger Bannister, over the last half century, more than a 1,300 runners have conquered the four minutes for the mile barrier — one that had been considered hopelessly out of reach.

So from 1886 to 1954, no one could do it, and then all of a sudden as soon as Roger Bannister proved that it could be done — an onslaught of athletes started to crush the record.

What changed?

It’s not like Roger Bannister accelerated human evolution. It’s not that the rules of physics changed. What was the one thing that made it possible for all these athletes to all of a sudden start breaking the coveted 4-minute mile barrier?

Belief.

They saw that it could be done. That it was possible. Even more so, they saw that there was a model for achieving it. Today, even high school mid-distance runners are able to do the 4-minute mile. All because Roger Bannister proved that it could be done.

You see. Hard work, Luck, Discipline, Planning — all of those things are necessary to succeeding in your goals, but none of that will work if you don’t have Belief. Belief in your goals comes from deep understanding in how it can be achieved. Belief in your goals comes from visualization in your mind that want you want IS achievable. And in turn, Belief in your goals drives massive commitment and action.

When you don’t have belief, when you don’t even believe that you can turn your dreams into reality, you don’t take action, you write it down, you set a new year’s resolution, but you never take action.

Roger Bannister created belief in his mind for himself. Others that followed quickly after him benefited from his belief and said “IF HE CAN DO IT… SO CAN I” and they modelled what he did.

There are essentially TWO ways for you to instill belief in yourself for your dreams:
The easiest way for you to establish belief for your goals is to find others that have done it and figure out how to model them.

If you can’t find others, because what you’re going after is SO unprecedented, then you have to get to a depth of understanding of what you’re trying to accomplish and make it SO real in your mind — that you can start to believe it and turn it real in your life.

Once you’ve established belief, then comes discipline. This is the second thing that is critical to those who achieve.

For the FIRST TIME Roger Bannister accomplished the 4-minute mile, think of how many times he failed. In fact, before he set his sights on the 4-minute mile goal, he failed at even winning in the Olympics!

In our Unstoppable Life Planning guide (linked below), we teach you how to use tools like Unstoppable Sundays, and 45-day challenges to drive consistency and discipline in achieving your dreams and getting to a proactive life.

 

 

 

How to Recover from BURNOUT in 3 Simple Steps!

Links to the other episodes I mentioned on this episode:

  1. How to avoid burnout
  2. How to do a 45-day Unstoppable Beast Mode Challenge to double down
  3. How to deal with crisis and adversity

Harvard Business Review defines “burnout” as when relentless work stress pushes you into a debilitating state. On the last episode, we talked about how to AVOID the state of burnout.

On our last episode, we talked about how to live a more proactive life and what you can do to avoid burning out in life.

This ended up being one of our most SUCCESSFUL and SHARED episodes — and I got a flood of questions with people asking… TOO LATE. I’m burnt out. Forget avoiding it, I’m in it. What do I do now?

The problem with burnout, or feeling sad, or feeling depressed, or even feeling melancholy is that it is hard to figure out the root cause of things.

Is it that your job sucks and you are ready to move on?

Is it that people are being unfair to you and you’re the victim?

Or is it something within you that needs to change and these feelings are a way of your body signaling to you that something is wrong…

In my life, there has been several times I’ve found myself burnt out, or sad, or depressed about my current situation. In those situations, I recognized that I need to pause and reflect and take massive corrective action to get out of it. Whether it was my choice to leave my marriage, or leave my finance job, or change careers, in all of those cases, they started with cases of feelings of burnt out, or sadness or depression.

Those are ways for our bodies, our mind, and our environment to communicate to us that something is WRONG. On this episode, I talk about about the THREE things you can do if you find yourself in a bad situation like burnout.

Part of living a proactive life is being able to pause and reflect when this is happening and then take massive corrective action. Through all of the crazy situations in my life, when you find yourself in a sad, depressed or burnt out situation, you’ve got THREE options.

LEAVE

DOUBLE DOWN

Or DECLARE A CRISIS OF ADVERSITY

Let me explain.

For all the different permutations of situations that exist, your job is to pause and reflect on where you are (this is where practicing Unstoppable Sundays) comes in really handy and figure out which of these three buckets you fall into.

The first bucket, is that you’re in a situation that is bad because of a number of external factors that you cannot change or control. And whether it is today, or tomorrow, or a plan to execute over the next 6 months, you need to leave.

The second bucket is a situation where the situation is fine, but you yourself are having trouble coping. In this scenario, this is a YOU thing and you need to take steps to get back on track.

And for the last bucket, this is where it’s a combination of two. External factors are bad, internal factors are bad, everyone is overwhelmed. In this scenario, you are in a CRISIS of ADVERSITY. This is your classic “shitshow” of a life situation (I’ve had plenty of these).

The question becomes, what do you do once you’ve identified where you are…

If you are in a situation where you need to leave a bad environment, whether it is today, or over the next 365-days, you need to formulate a plan to slowly exit out of it. This is where getting proactive about your next 365-days like we teach you in our guide can help.

If you’re in a situation where it’s a YOU thing, even if you are tired, and you cannot take a break right now, and you’re in the middle of a massive project deliverable, what you need to do is kick off a 45-day challenge where you push hard on the ONE most important thing and then give yourself a break after those 45-days to recover from the burnout.

And if you’re in this unfortunate 3rd bucket, where you are truly facing a crisis of adversity, well… you’ve got some work cut out for you. We did a VERY LONG episode a few months ago on how to deal with crisis and adversity that I’ll link to below so you can check it out.

So.. In conclusion, If you’re feeling sad, depressed or burnt out, the first thing to do is assess your situation and create a proactive plan on how you’re going to get out of it.

The next thing to do is get proactive about your life so it never happens again.

 

 

 

How to Avoid Burnout by Treating Yourself like an Athlete

I have a simple mantra for how I treat my work life:
Train like an athlete.
Win like an athlete.
Recover like an athlete.

When I was running my own company, there were years I prided myself in working 100 hour work weeks. I prided myself in working on weekends, late at night, running on very little sleep, and I prided myself on being the “always ON” CEO.

Ironically, those were not the years where I did my best work. Those were not the years where we hit our biggest company milestones. In fact those were the years I just burned myself out.

The years where we crushed our goals were the ones where I was proactive about my work and I was proactive about avoiding burnout and recovering.

We’ve all been guilty of it.

We gloat to our co-workers and friends on how BUSY and SLAMMED we are at work.

Somewhere along the line, boasting about working 100 hour weeks became a rite of passage instead of talking about what we actually accomplished at work.

I think as a culture we forget that it is not about the hours we work, but it is about managing our peak performance and winning the games that we play.

No one cares if a football game lasted an hour, two hours, went into overtime or what.

What people do care about is if you won the game.

So in my quest to winning, and to becoming the best version of myself, one of the things that I grappled with the most was burnout.

Harvard Business Review defines “burnout” as when relentless work stress pushes you into a debilitating state.

They go on to explain that when you are burned out at work, you start feeling three things: 1) exhaustion 2) cynicism and 3) incompetence.

THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLE!

The worst part of all this is that when you are burned out, you’re so in the thick of it, you don’t even realize you’re burned out and you’re too busy reacting to all the things in front of you to even think about taking some time off.

The ONLY way you can avoid burnout is if you proactively manage for it.

A few years ago, I started to get proactive about how I managed myself and my performance.

I started to treat myself as an athlete.

I developed this mantra of:
Train like an athlete
Win like an athlete
And… RECOVER like an athlete

The basics that I incorporated into my life were simple. I made sure I worked out 3x a week. I also made sure I meditated every day. I’ve been practicing Transcendental Meditation for nearly 10 years and it has been life changing for me. I also took time to pause and reflect on Sundays.

But the ONE non-obvious thing that I started to do that made the biggest difference was that I started to get proactive about my year.

I used the Unstoppable 365-day spreadsheet to make sure I laid out exactly where I’m going to be over the course of the year, and especially over the next 6 to 8 weeks.

And MOST importantly, I started to make sure that I treat myself as an athlete and schedule in time to RECOVER as an athlete too. Every six weeks, I marked a weekend to make sure I took time away from work to rest and recharge — whether it was in my own home town, or going away somewhere, or planning a real trip.

By getting proactive and baking in RECOVERY time every six weeks into my calendar, I made sure that even if I entered points of burnout, I had it baked into my plan to take time off and recover from how hard I was training and how hard I was playing the game.

We’ll share the templates that I use for reflecting on Sundays, planning your year, and also creating a vision for yourself for the next 5 years.

 

 

 

How to Overcome the Sunday Night Blues with This 15 Minute Practice

We’ve all been there. Its Sunday, we’ve had a wonderful weekend with family and friends, and them BAM. All of a sudden, you realize tomorrow is Monday — and you get that pit in your stomach.

Whether you call it the sunday scaries, the sunday jitters, the sunday blues, or your weekly existential crisis of “WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!”

… on this episode I’ll teach you how a simple 15 to 30 minute practice can completely turn that around for you.

About 10 years ago, I made the decision to start leading a more proactive life. Living a more proactive life TO ME meant I would stop accepting my current reality and demand more from myself and those around me. It meant that I would take control of how I spent the next 7 days, the next 365 days and slowly change my reality to fit a vision of myself over the next 5 years.

All of those things aren’t easy to do. In fact, it is said that only 2% of the population is motivated enough to do any of those things. Even for me, while I wanted massive change in my life, the sunday blues, the sunday jitters, the reality and restrictions of my current life were enough to make me feel paralyzed. To make me just want to escape to watching Netflix.

That’s until I started to do this one simple thing every Sunday. Once I started doing this one simple thing every Sunday. It opened up nearly a decade of productivity for me. It allowed me to get control of my life one week at a time and slowly steer it toward the type of life I always wanted and knew I deserved.

I started sitting down every Sunday for 15 to 30 minutes and started to answer two simple questions:

  1. Where am I?

  2. What do I do next?

Just the process of sitting down and thinking about these two questions forced me to PROCESS what was going through my head instead of just feeling it in the form of angst.

Just by sitting down and dedicating some time to pause and reflect, it allowed me to really dig into what’s going on in my life.

And most importantly just by sitting down and thinking about the week ahead and how I want to go attack it — helped me calm down and start to get more proactive about prioritizing the right things in my week.

Our mission this year is to get a 1,000 people practicing Unstoppable Sunday every Sunday. To take 15 to 30 minutes to answer these two simple questions — that they can beat the Sunday blues, the Sunday jitters, the Sunday scaries.

If you want to join in and be one of the thousand, we’ve made it SUPER easy to get started. We’ve created a Life Planning Book for you that includes this Unstoppable Sunday template.

It’s just a simple Google Doc (and you can download a Microsoft Word version as well).

Every single week, I go into my Sunday document, and you’ll see here  that I’ve been using this particular document for YEARS. And I’ll just work through the two simple questions.

If you follow the link below and download our guide, here’s the template you get. And this is exactly how I go through Unstoppable Sunday every Sunday, and you can too… For every Sunday, I just create a new section, and I answer each of the two questions.

In the template document, you’ll see that we give you some prompts to consider….

This simple practice has been the perfect medicine for me to feel better about the week ahead, and then take steps to get more proactive about my life. It has unlocked nearly a decade of success and productivity for me and I want that for YOU too…

 

 

 

Feeling Stuck in Life? Do an Unstoppable Beast Mode Challenge.

[Here’s a link to the spreadsheet template for doing a 45-day beast mode challenge]

Both in my life and in my company, there were moments, where we felt stuck. I was ashamed of the goals that I said we’d accomplish, and the lack of progress I had made on them.

On this episode, I talk about this ONE thing I use when I feel like I –or– my team is stuck in a rut. It’s called the 45-day Unstoppable Beast Mode Challenge.

For every year for the past 10 years of my life, whether it was in my personal life, or in my company, there were has been TWO universal truths:

  1. We had wild goals to go after
  2. At some point or another, we found ourselves in a RUT and STUCK

The problem is when you’re at it for a while, or when you’ve got competing priorities…

No matter how motivated you are, and no matter how EXCITING the goal is, and no matter HOW PUMPED YOU ARE about celebrating with your team when you crush that goal…

Sometimes… we just get stuck.

We get tired of the grind.

We get overwhelmed with the shear amount of priorities and just don’t know how to move forward

We end up at the spot that I FEAR THE MOST MORE THAN ANYTHING IN MY LIFE….

Neither HERE.. nor THERE…

Whenever I started to feel stuck.

Whenever I felt my team was hitting a rut.

Whenever I felt like we weren’t running in peak performance….

I started using this one TOOL to get everyone mobilized.

I declared a 45-day challenge.

Here’s the thing.

For most of our lives, we are operating with multiple priorities, and with no clear deadline. This is what I call living a reactive life. This gets you years where you didn’t accomplish a single thing, and got a little done on a few things. NEITHER HERE…. NOR THERE…..

When we start to live a more proactive life, we start to pick specific priorities, but they usually have longer term deadlines. This works most of the time when you’ve got the right set of priorities, and you’ve got enough time to go achieve them.

But sometimes… sometimes… you need what I call a SPRINT. You need a short period of time, where you stop running the marathon, and you rally the team around one short-term 45-day goal and go into what I call BEAST MODE.

This is when you take a LONG HARD look at the next 45-days, and say…. OK. What are all the things I’d be working on if the status quo would remain the same?

What is the ONE big thing if I did… would dramatically change the trajectory for me and my people this year?

What if I dedicated the next 45-days to go into BEAST MODE and focus on this one singular goal?

Would that get me out of my rut?

Would that unlock possibilities and momentum for everything else I’m trying to do?

Would that move my agenda forward for this year?

Every time I do a 45-day challenge, it friggin’ energizes me and brings on focused momentum around the one big goal that matters the most…

It helps me put other things in pause because I make the conscious tradeoff between what’s important vs not.

It helps me stop being overwhelmed.

And most importantly, it gives me and everyone else working with me a reason to get PUMPED about what we’re going to accomplish in 45-days.

If you’re interested in trying a 45-day challenge. If you’re interested in getting more proactive about your life. Download our FREE Unstoppable Life Planning Guide (below). We’ll walk you through the steps necessary to make the changes you want in your life.

 

 

 

Grind in Your 20s. Do Whatever You Want in Your 30s.

When I was growing up, I had this theory about life. GRIND it hard through your teens and 20s. DO WHATEVER I WANT in my 30s and beyond.

Ever since I was young, being an immigrant kid from Bangladesh, I saw how hard my parents worked.

And so from a very early age, I had this mental goal that I just want to GRIND IT HARD through my early years, bank as much cash as possible, get as many skills as possible, do WHATEVER was necessary, so that in my 30s, I could get to doing WHATEVER I WANT.

This episode is not about how to do that. We’ve done prior episodes about how to think about your career in your 20s and 30s, go check that out if you want to learn about how to actually get to DOING WHATEVER YOU WANT IN YOUR 30s.

What this episode IS about, is a struggle and an obstacle I face today at 35.

Over the last 9 years, I’ve started and sold my own company, I helped sell the company that bought it, and I’ve gotten to hitting my goal.

I quit my job last week, and I’m taking complete down time to do WHATEVER I WANT.

I made a pact with some friends that I wouldn’t start any new companies, I wouldn’t jump into a new project or job, and I wouldn’t just keep working on stuff. I’d go and enjoy. And have downtime. And go explore the world. Maybe even put myself out there outside of my home city and find the love of my life!

The problem is, I can’t.

I just can’t sleep in.

I can’t just lay on a beach.

I can’t just turn it off.

I feel like a retired bank robber and there are banks everywhere and I just want to go on ONE MORE HEIST.

Here’s the thing though.

If you truly grinded it out through your 20s and even your 30s….

It becomes EASY to get another job.

It becomes EASY to hop onto another project.

You know enough people and it becomes EASY to start another company.

But that doesn’t mean it’s the right move for you. The right project for you. The right job for you.

Things that might’ve been hard and a gift for you 10 years ago, may be easy now, but that doesn’t mean they are worthwhile.

Ironically, even though I GRINDED IT OUT through my 20s and even my early 30s to get to a point of being able to do WHATEVER I WANT — I’m still not ready to get out of the game. I literally CANNOT get myself to just go to the beach and lay there.

I FEEL LIKE I’M JUST GETTING STARTED.

I think this is why serial entrepreneurs exist.

I think this is why billionaires exist. Long before they become billionaires they had more than enough money to just go to the beach — but they wanted to do more for the IMPACT.

And so I got to thinking…. How can I get down time, take some time to reflect, and yet still work on something that will have IMPACT and make me feel fulfilled?

I got to thinking about our goal here at Unstoppable to impact 1K people.

I got to thinking about one of my favorite tools that I learned and utilized through my 20s. The 45-day challenge. And so I decided, while I take my downtime, I’m going to spend about 4-hours every day and work on making Unstoppable even bigger so that we are more likely to hit our goal of helping 1,000 people be more proactive in their lives.

And so I got to sending out a tweet.

The tweet led to a number of people interested in doing a 45-day challenge.

I set up a spreadsheet to track it.

I emailed the people interested in doing a challenge with me and got them all locked in to our system for this 45-day challenge.

And… off we went!

It’s funny. I grinded through my 20s so that I could do whatever I want in my 30s.

And in my 30s, what I thought would just be leisure and hanging out on the beach, I find myself wanting to DO MORE. Take on BIGGER challenges. Work with GREAT people. Have an IMPACT.

And so, while I don’t want to jump into starting my next company right away, or taking a job right away, I figure it’d be good to have a challenge to work on! With people!

So I’m super pumped for all the people on our 45-day challenge. And I’m super pumped for putting int these focused 4 hours every day to grow Unstoppable while I take some downtime.

If you’re interested in kicking off a challenge of your own with your OWN friends, use my spreadsheet template to get organized with your friends, track your progress, and go into beast mode together!

How to Be Proactive in Life

Our mission for Unstoppable this year is to help 1,000 people live more proactive lives. Are you going to be one of those 1,000? In this episode, I’m going to talk about WHY getting proactive can change your life.

Today, I’m going to talk about what the end result looks like when you’re living a PROACTIVE life.

I thought this would be a good topic for today’s Unstoppable Sunday because over 1,200 people have downloaded our Unstoppable Life Planning Guide in the past week alone to start getting proactive about their lives. And I wanted to show all of you that if you put in the work, here’s what the outcome can be for you.

About 10 years ago, I woke up one morning and decided I didn’t want to be reacting to life anymore. Fast forward to today. I helped sell two companies in the past two years, and I just quit my job to just focus on myself for the year. All because I decided to get more proactive about my life 10 years ago.

BEFORE this moment where I decided to get PROACTIVE, I would approach every Sunday with this angst in my stomach — just WORRYING about Monday.

BEFORE this moment, I’d go into Monday and start counting down to the the Friday and the weekend, only to repeat the same patterns of just reacting to life again and again and again counting down from one weekend to another.

The thing is, I didn’t want to live that way anymore. I didn’t want to dread going into work, I didn’t want to just live for the weekends, I wanted to maximize my entire week and get the most out of life. But I had a job, I had bills, and I didn’t quite know how to break out of that pattern.

Until…. I decided to start taking a more proactive approach to life.

I stopped with the Netflix.

I stopped with just hoping things would change.

I stopped escaping from my reality and just counting down from one Friday to another.

And instead I started to take a more PROACTIVE approach to life.

Now on one hand, getting PROACTIVE about life sounds easy. But on the other hand, actually doing the work to face reality and start making changes in your life sounds REALLY HARD.

The thing is, changes in your reality don’t happen overnight. It didn’t for me. However, what CAN happen overnight is a change in your mindset. Your ability to snap your fingers and say ENOUGH — I’m not going to live in this REACTIVE way anymore — that’s a decision you can make right now. AFTER you do that, you’re able to start to take the steps to make changes in your reality.

TODAY, and over the past 10 years, here’s is what my PROACTIVE life looks like. Because I followed the steps on our Unstoppable Life Planning guide, I’ve got my life plan bookmarked. I’ve got a view into what I want over the next 6-years. I’ve got a view into what the next 365-days looks like. AND, I’ve got my Unstoppable Sunday pause and reflect document right here — which is now running over 200 pages!

By following the steps to plan out my Unstoppable Life, I’ve been able to unlock over a decade of productivity for myself. If you’re going through the guide right now, I encourage you to KEEP GOING! By getting a proactive life plan together for yourself, you’ll completely change your life. I did.

And if you haven’t downloaded it yet, just follow the link below and get started. I walk you through the steps on how YOU can start taking a more proactive approach to life, and how you start to lay out a Life Plan for yourself.

 

 

 

When All the Odds Are Against You… Master Resourcefulness

This past year, my team was asked to take on an impossible task, an insane goal. It was strategic to the company, so I did NOT want to back away from it.

The odds were stacked against us. It was a brand new team. And much like a lot of long term strategic objectives, it didn’t have short term backing — but it still needed to be done.

So often, when we’re going after our goals, we get SO bogged down by all the obstacles in the way. Our inside voices start nagging at us…

It’s so hard. This won’t work. They don’t want us to succeed. All the odds are stacked against us.

Never in the history of mankind was there ever an endeavor worth pursuing that was easy – or without obstacles. If you look at any of the most successful people in history, they’ve all mastered ONE thing. They’ve mastered resourcefulness.

When faced with a huge goal and obstacles on the way, here’s how my team practiced resourcefulness:

  1. My team and I got into a room and made a list of all the things that were stacked against us. We then looked at straight in the face and said OK. Got it.
  2. We then asked ourselves: What do we do to win anyway?
  3. What are the things we’ve got that we can use to our advantage?
  4. What are the plays we can run to double down on the things that ARE working?
  5. What are the things we can do creatively to stack things even just a smidge our way?

My team ended up delivering and exceeding on our goal. Even with all the odds stacked against them. They figured out a way to be resourceful and win anyway.

So the next time you’re feeling paralyzed with all the things stacked against you in the way of your goal, ask yourself this: are you being resourceful?

As Tony Robbins always says: “It’s not the lack of resources, it’s your lack of resourcefulness that stops you.”

MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS FOR 2019

By the time the second week of February rolls around, 80% of people will have broken their New Years Resolutions. That’s right. You didn’t misread that! Because of that exact statistic, I stopped setting New Years Resolutions nearly a decade ago. Instead, I developed a very specific system that helps me set goals for the year, check in on them every Sunday, and keep course correcting throughout the course of the year so that my goals stay top of mind, and I crush them at the end of the year.

Even more so, out of the 365-days we have in the year, only roughly 220 of them are actual working days when you take away holidays, family commitments, sick days, and vacation.

To get the most out of these 220 days, I follow this very specific yearly planning process through the end of December and refine over January. The bulk of this work happens when I shut everything down at the end of the year and go into my reflection period.

This year, I was fortunate enough to have my pause and reflect week in Bali, Indonesia. In this very special episode, for the first time ever, I go into detail on exactly how I go about creating a 365-day plan for the year, create a 5-year vision for myself, and also wrangle in my calendar so I can take a proactive approach to life.

Celebrating One Year of Unstoppable, and How I Get Motivated and Inspired

About a year ago, I started this insane project called Unstoppable with a goal of helping people be more proactive, practice belief x discipline, and become unstoppable in life.

On this Unstoppable Sunday, I reflect on our journey a year in as we celebrate hitting 10 THOUSAND Instagram followers, with over 35 episodes clocking 17 THOUSAND minutes owatch time on YouTubeand ONE THOUSAND people having downloaded our Unstoppable Life Guideand now a globally distributed team spanning FOUR COUNTRIES.

So often in life, we set big goals and then fail to celebrate. So often we get to DOING instead of pausing and thinking about how to set our goals right. Unstoppable and my other projects wouldn’t be where it is today if I didn’t follow my very specific system for setting goals, ruthlessly executing and celebrating small wins.

In this very special episode, I talk through how I think about setting my big goals in life, how I think about celebrating small wins, and most importantly why I’m excited about Unstoppable as we go into our second year.

Most importantly, I spend some time thanking YOU for supporting us and introducing you to Team Unstoppable who works behind the scenes to help all of us become more Unstoppable.
