Goal Setting

Think: what's one major problem in your life that if you solved it, you'd be a lot happier?

It's not the only response, but let's take one of the most common: money.

You're sick of the anxiety associated with barely being able to hold things together. Instead of resting at night you're doing mental calculations to make sure you can make it to the end of the month. You're the family’s provider, and it's eating away at you that you can't provide for them better.

Now think:

What would my life look like if I didn't have this problem anymore?

How about, for starters, being able to get to sleep at night without bearing the weight of the world? Or not having to deny yourself or your family innocent pleasures because you're understandably concerned about your limited budget? Or feeling like you’re living to work, and life is passing you by?

Imagine being free from all that.

Another one: health. Maybe you could stand to take off some pounds, but the problem seems insurmountable and you have no inspiration.

Now, back to our little exercise: what would your life look like if you finally took this problem head on? Imagine looking and feeling great, no longer being embarrassed to go to the beach, maybe even turning some heads.

Inconceivable now, no doubt. But doable? No question.

Or maybe it saddens you how little time you're able to spend with your kids because you feel buried under so many other obligations.

How would you feel as a mother or father, and indeed as a woman or a man, if you were able to solve that problem?

What if I told you I can not only help you achieve that one thing, but that in 2024 I can help you accomplish three to four other things just like that, too?

Not possible, you say?

I’m living proof that it is.

Other than that last one, I can honestly say that I have suffered from all the problems I just listed. A couple of them, in fact, sent me into a deep and profound despair. They seemed absolutely beyond my abilities to solve, and I could not generate any kind of mental map to navigate my way out of them.

I'm happy to say that I no longer suffer from any of them. I have met and exceeded all my goals.

(Incidentally, you don't need to be in a state of existential despair in order to benefit from what I'm about to tell you. As long as you have ambition, there's something you want to accomplish, and I can help you do it.)

Maybe you want to train to run a marathon, or you'd like to play the piano, or earn 15% more income, or teach yourself a new skill, or declutter your house so you can enjoy more peace – whatever it is, it's something.

But much as you'd like to accomplish it, for some reason it never gets done. You're too busy, nobody is supporting you, you lack the ambition – the potential list of reasons is endless.

And if you're like me, you'd consider it laughable to bother with personal development books or programs, because you know 95% of them are useless fluff and a waste of your time.

Well, I'm the mortal enemy of fluff.

My method for setting and reaching my goals, and building a fulfilled life for myself, has nothing to do with meditating for 15 minutes a day, or having a green smoothie when I wake up, or any of that stuff (not that there's anything wrong with all that).

I have a very specific method for developing, executing, and remaining faithful to a mind map that leads me to my goals.

For example:

I spoke at Ron Paul’s Rally for the Republic in Minneapolis. C-SPAN aired it. I looked like a balloon. To put it kindly: I was not the kind of guy you’d think would go to the gym a whole lot.

Things stayed that way for years, until in 2019 I finally started going to the gym.

Then in 2023 I told myself I would go to the gym, and train with a personal trainer, every single weekday I was home.

Let me add: research shows that 73 percent of people who set fitness goals fail to reach their targets.

Well, it’s now December 2023, and I haven’t betrayed that promise to myself by a single day.

Wouldn’t that be nice? Setting an ambitious goal like that and not getting sidetracked or diverted?

In my case it’s not mere happenstance or luck. I use the same method every year, and it never fails me.

I want you to use my system, too, because it flat-out works.

The result: every year you can surprise yourself with the areas of your life that you dramatically improve.

I’ve watched a dear friend (I won’t disclose his name) with unimpeachable intentions get nowhere year after year and it suddenly hit me: not everyone does what I do. I should share it.

And the proof that it works, dear reader, is in the pudding.

In 2022 I launched a seven-figure business while at the same time increasing my fitness regimen, instead of using the work on the business as an excuse to skip the gym (as I would surely have done in the past).

But let’s jump ahead to 2023.

I won't go into what I normally do: hundreds of episodes of my podcast, hundreds of issues of my two newsletters, and all of that.

This is about goal setting, about accomplishing new things. So:

In 2023 I finished writing my 13th book, as well as two other, shorter books I’m giving away alongside it (to make the offer irresistible).
I launched a high-dollar mastermind that has already met in two major cities and is helping ambitious businessmen multiply their existing successes.
I took my kids on three major vacations – Boston, London, and Honolulu – and several minor ones. I spent more time with them this year than I did in 2022, and in 2022 I spent more time with them than I had in 2021.

Before all those things were accomplished, they were first goals in my mind. Fairly ambitious ones, I think it’s fair to say. And once I set them, I deployed my system for seeing them through to completion.

Other people will joke on January 3rd about eating a donut instead of going to the gym. "So much for my resolutions!" they'll chuckle.

You, on the other hand, will be focused like a laser beam on those things that will make your life more prosperous and fulfilling, and your family's lives more comfortable.

These things will happen for you not by luck or at random but through my method, carried out at the very beginning of the year.

You will have a Mission, and no one will be able to distract you from it.

I have a fresh set of goals for 2024.

Why don’t you accomplish your goals alongside me?

That's precisely what you we'll do inside my 2024 Crusher program.

My method is very specific and step by step. It helps you come up with ambitions that are specific and measurable rather than vague and unquantifiable. It helps you come up with ambitions that are worthy of you. I won’t let you play it safe with easy goals. In my program you will push yourself.

And mark my words: you will write to thank me.

You will say: this is what finally did it for me. Instead of dreaming about all those things I want, instead of growing discouraged each year to the point of giving up on them, I have them at last.

There's nothing particularly difficult or time-consuming about my method, but it isn't something most people would think up on their own.

But does it ever get results.

Now let’s face an uncomfortable fact: sometimes we can be our own worst enemies.

We have an inner critic that tells us we’re not good enough, that nothing we do or say could ever be worth anyone else’s time, and that there’s no point in drawing up an ambitious plan for 2024, or for any year, because we’ll never follow through on it.

BONUS #1 of this program, therefore, is the Inner Critic Killer. We take a sledgehammer to that thing and bludgeon it mercilessly. Shut. Up. Already.

At other times we truly are our own enemies. There is such a thing as self-sabotage.

You may have experienced it, when you find yourself putting off doing what you know you need to do. Then the failure to accomplish your task becomes further evidence that you’re not meant for great things or you can’t do anything right.

Or you establish impossible standards for yourself (perfectionism), thus making failure inevitable. Or you make your success dependent on others – e.g., I would start that fitness program if my spouse were more supportive. That kind of thing.

There are at least 30 different forms that self-sabotage can take.

So BONUS #2 of this program is the Self-Sabotage Cure. We are going to take that worst enemy of yours and strangle it until it lies there motionless, dead.

Now here's my offer to you:

So much do I want you to take action that when you complete all the exercises by January 31, 2024, I will give you your money back.

Wait, what?

You read that right. Every single dollar that you pay for this program, you can have back.

Now, speaking for myself, I have plans for yet another ambitious, successful, and prosperous year. I intend to execute my plans using my method.

Why not achieve your own ambitions alongside me, using my proven formula?

Why not achieve your own ambitions alongside a whole bunch of us who are determined to live life to the fullest, instead of just letting life happen to us?

And again: I am so convinced that my method will help you, and so determined to see you succeed, that all you have to do is complete the program by January 31 (and really, a program for a great 2024 does realistically have to be finished by the end of January, don't you think?) and I’ll return every dollar you spent on it.

Most people will spend 2024 the same way they did 2023, and 2022, and 2021. You will blow right past them.

Follow my system and 2024 can become the best year you’ve ever had, a turning point you remember for the rest of your life, when you can start enjoying the kind of life that your friends on social media pretend they have.

And how's this: I'm throwing in two free months of my School of Life program for new subscribers (normally $97 per month), which is full of the kind of ambitious people who can help you stay faithful to those goals.

You'll see how far the encouragement of a community of like-minded people goes in helping you reach heights that may have seemed unattainable on your own.

(If you don't wish to stay in the School of Life after the two free months expire, just drop us a line and you won't have to pay an extra cent; you can enjoy the two free months as a gift from me.)

Think of how exciting, exhilarating even, it would be to embark on an adventure like this with me, and with a group of other purposeful and determined people.

So go ahead and do it!
