Speaker A
This is going to be the first year that you achieve all your goals. 2026 is actually going to be your year. Instead of saying, "Oh, yeah. This is my year," and then not achieving anything, this is the year that we're going to create
00:10
Speaker A
goals that you will actually achieve before the year is up. I'm going to give you the framework on how to set goals, how to create an action plan, and then how to calendar habits so that you're able to just follow a day-by-day planner
00:23
Speaker A
and before the year is up, far exceed any goal that you set. Instead of creating a vision board and this manifestation woo-woo of wishing and hoping and dreaming without an actual day-by-day plan, leaving you empty of your goals, I'm going to show you how we
00:38
Speaker A
really do it. And I used this formula to go from somebody who was at rock bottom, 100K in credit card debt, selling cars, a degenerate drug addict, to two years later, president of 10X Health, scaling that to eight figures, making seven figures,
00:52
Speaker A
fit, sober, healthy, leading my family, taking them on vacations, living this glorious life, and helping other people.
00:59
Speaker A
So, here's the formula. Okay, the first thing that we're going to do for your goals is we're going to set three categories of goals, right? I want to look at your personal goals. What do you want to do personally? For me, I want to
01:11
Speaker A
be 190 lbs with a six-pack by the end of the year. So, that means I need to put on seven pounds, but stay lean and visually be able to see all six of my abs. I want to shoot sub 80 in golf. I
01:22
Speaker A
want to become a 4.0 ranking in tennis. Those are my three personal goals. I'm not going to have too many. I don't want to have a million. I want to have goals that I can actually achieve that are
01:32
Speaker A
somewhat of a stretch from where I am today. The best I've ever shot in golf was a 97. Okay, so to get down to an 80, I'm going to have some work to do. If I'm currently at a 3.5 in tennis, I'm
01:42
Speaker A
going to have to do some work to get to a 4.0. If I've never been 190 pounds and I've never added seven pounds of pure muscle over a 12-month span, I'm going to have some work to do, right? Those are my
01:51
Speaker A
personal goals. What are my career goals? Right? Well, let's say I want to do a million a month. I want to speak on six stages.
02:01
Speaker A
I want to host four masterminds. And then I want to create an e-commerce company.
02:07
Speaker A
Okay, those are my four goals. I'm not going to go crazy. Those are my professional or career goals. Then the last one's going to be lifestyle. Okay, what do I want to do with the money that I earned? I want a Rolls-Royce.
02:22
Speaker A
I want a certain watch. I want family vacations. I want to invest X amount into crypto. Right? This is what I want to do with the money. So now we know personally who do I want to become?
02:36
Speaker A
Ripped, better golfer, better at tennis. In my career, what do I want to do? A million a month, six stages, four masterminds, and a new e-commerce company, right? Lifestyle goals. I want the Rolls-Royce, the watch, family vacations, and crypto. Now, what we need
02:52
Speaker A
to make sure that we do is make all of these goals specific and measurable.
02:58
Speaker A
Those are the first two parts of the SMART goal format. Okay? So, is a million dollars a month specific and measurable? Yes. Is six stages specific and measurable? Yes. Four masterminds specific and measurable? Yes. Is creating an e-commerce company specific and
03:14
Speaker A
measurable? No. All that's saying is that I'm incepting an e-commerce company. So, what I need to say is, "Hey, I'm going to create a supplement company that is generating 50K per month by December of 2026." Right? And then I need to define
03:30
Speaker A
what that company is. Specific, measurable. Rolls-Royce. Is that specific? No. I need to say, "Hey, I want a Ghost." And you know what?
03:38
Speaker A
Actually, I want a Mansory Ghost. Okay. What year? How much is that going to cost? Well, yeah, it's going to probably cost me 300K if I get a two-year-old one. Great. What kind of watch do I want? Well, I want a rose
03:52
Speaker A
gold Audemars Piguet skeleton. What's that going to cost me? I don't know, 137K, something like that, right? Family vacations. What are these going to cost me? These are going to cost me 25K each, right? To take my whole family on two
04:03
Speaker A
vacations. So, what's that? That's 50K. Where? What do these vacations look like? Where are we going? What kind of villa are we staying in? Let's put together the plan, right? And then crypto. Is that specific and measurable? No. I want
04:15
Speaker A
to put a million dollars into Bitcoin. And then I want to put another million dollars into, and I'm going to break it down to three. Maybe Solana, Ethereum, maybe even a couple shitcoins. Who knows? Maybe some Ivanka, maybe some
04:30
Speaker A
Trump. No, I'm just messing with you. Okay, look. Now that we've set goals in each of the three categories, we need to create an action plan, right? So, when creating an action plan, what do we need to do to get to 190 lbs with a six-pack? Well,
04:47
Speaker A
I'm going to need to follow a certain breakdown of macronutrients each and every day, total calories, proteins, carbs, and fats. And I'm going to need to track that in an app. Without tracking it, I'm never going to get
04:57
Speaker A
there. It's going to be impossible, right? Same thing with my workouts. If I want to put on this much muscle, I'm going to need to design my workouts in a way that I'm able to actually put on muscle, right? So, I'm going to have to
05:08
Speaker A
design my workouts and my nutrition in apps and track them every single day. Easy. Then, that's just going to achieve itself. How do I shoot sub 80 in golf?
05:19
Speaker A
Well, I'm going to need to get one lesson, sorry, two lessons per month. I'm going to need to hit the driving range probably twice a week and I'm going to need to play one round of golf per week. So, what am I going to do? I'm
05:33
Speaker A
going to calendar those in, right? Because if I don't calendar them in, I'm always going to push. But if that's something that's important to me, then hey, every Tuesday and Thursday night, I need to be at the driving range from 5
05:46
Speaker A
to 6:30. And every Saturday morning, I need to be playing a round. And every Sunday afternoon, I need to be working with a coach, okay? Or every other Sunday.
05:58
Speaker A
How am I going to get to a 4.0 in tennis? Same deal. Got to work with the coach once a week and play once a week or twice a week, right? So, I need to calendar these things. Now, I have an
06:05
Speaker A
action plan. I know how many times per week, what I need to do, who I need to work with, where I need to go, right?
06:12
Speaker A
In my career, how am I going to get to a million a month? Well, if I'm currently operating at 300K a month, how am I going to get to a million? Right? I need to create an action plan. How many more
06:21
Speaker A
customers do I need to acquire? How do I need to change my programs? What customer lifetime value do I need to increase to? What does my ROAS need to be? What am I going to need to do from a standpoint of content output? How
06:31
Speaker A
many more YouTube videos? How many more Instagram posts? How many more reels? How many more stories? Right?
06:36
Speaker A
What do I need to do to actually get to a million? I need to create a financial roadmap with actions. And then I need to start calendaring those. So I'll go into my calendar and say, "Hey, every
06:45
Speaker A
Wednesday afternoon for three hours, I need to create a YouTube video. And on Wednesday mornings, I need to script them out. And on Fridays, I need to review my YouTube studio and my strategy. And on Sundays, I need to
06:54
Speaker A
create new topics for my reels. I need to calendar all of these. This is my action plan to achieve my goals. Okay, same deal. Stages, right? We'll go through all of this. Now look guys, once you have calendared the habits
07:10
Speaker A
necessary to achieve your physique, your mindset, your athletic prowess, any business skills you want personally, then all you got to do is make the amount of money that will substantiate you getting the car, the watch, the vacations, the investment, the whatever.
07:29
Speaker A
So, the lifestyle goals are just a visual representation to keep you on track. Like, why do I have the background being the house that I want next? Or right above my computer, the Ferrari F8 in Nardo gray with
07:44
Speaker A
I have that from a visualization standpoint. So, when I get distracted, I'm able to look at and say, "Hey, get back to the only thing that matters, which is what? what actions I take on a daily basis. My calendar, nothing else
07:59
Speaker A
matters. Sitting here wishing, hoping, dreaming, that's not going to get me [ __ ] Taking the action that is designed in my calendar, limiting distraction, maintaining focus is what's going to help me. And sometimes when I lose focus, having the visual representation
08:14
Speaker A
of what am I doing this for? Right? Think about those plush orange mandarin seats in that ghost and how my family's going to feel when we go on vacation and how dope that skelly is going to be on
08:27
Speaker A
my wrist, you know, and how happy I'm going to be when I look down at my account, I see another million in Bitcoin and and other crypto, right? So, have the manifestation and the board in what you want your lifestyle to be and
08:42
Speaker A
who you need to become. But let's just calendar habits so that we can substantiate an action plan and far exceed all of our goals for 2026. It's that easy, guys. Set your goals. Break down each goal into what you need to do
08:57
Speaker A
each day, each week, each month in order to move towards that goal. And then consistently have a daily and weekly review. How did I do? Right? It all comes down to using a calendar. Just use a Google calendar. follow the damn
09:11
Speaker A
calendar. And when you have a mentor to give you feedback along the way, whether that be a fitness coach, a golf coach, a tennis coach, a business coach, a mindset mentor, somebody to help give you feedback along the way, is that
09:25
Speaker A
going to help you get closer to your goals more quickly, or is it going to take longer? If you work with someone who's had success, of course, you're going to get there more quickly.
09:33
Speaker A
Mentorship changed my entire life. When I started doing this goal setting process of setting smart goals, creating an action plan, calendaring, repeating habits that would help me achieve my goals, and getting feedback from my mentor on my goals, the action plan, and
09:50
Speaker A
the habits needed. Guess what happened? I went from making 55K a year to over a million in two years. I went from a salesman to an president of an 8 figureure company with 300 employees. I went from someone who's a degenerate,
10:05
Speaker A
selfish [ __ ] to somebody who has a relationship with God, who helps many people, who has changed their mindset, who's become the leader, the mentor of their own family. Guys, this is where it starts. Don't set New Year's
10:17
Speaker A
resolutions, and then quit after 3 weeks cuz it was too hard. Sit down, write out your goals, create the action plan, calendar the habits, and get feedback from somebody. If you want help with this, you can click the link directly in
