S5: 43: Idealization
"If one advances confidently in the direction of [their] dreams, and endeavors to live the life which [they have] imagined, [they] will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." -Henry David Thoreau We start the week with a magnificent Mind Bullet Monday that addresses a topic we've never fully explored: idealization. What does idealization mean to you? The pursuit of a goal is idealization in action! In the process of pursuing our ideals and goals CONFIDENTLY, we find things falling into place in the present. People all too often build boundaries to idealization. It's hard to think about ideals in the midst of real-life relationship, career or financial problems. But in fact idealization is the only way to begin the quest for something better. Listen in for more on how idealization can help improve each category in your life (mind, body, spirit, social) and how taking the time intentionally to create ideals can become a moving target of success.

S5: 42: Common Goal-Setting Mistakes
"The bend in the road is not the end in the road unless you fail to make the turn.” This Frequently Asked Friday takes it back to the basics: What are the common mistakes people make when going after their goals? Behold the Dirty Dozen — perhaps the top 12 mistakes we make when it comes to goal-setting. What happens when we set goals and don't achieve them? We're less likely to set more goals! Conversely, when we set goals and DO achieve them, we are much more likely to go out and set and achieve even more goals! So it's critical to set yourself up for success and avoid some common mistakes. From talking about your goals, relying on a to-do list, and focusing on the outcome, to NOT anticipating setbacks — and much more — listen in for tips on an optimum environment for goal achievement, and how aligning Habits via PARR will help.

S5: 41: Counting
"I don't count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count." ~ Muhammad Ali This special Mind Bullet Wednesday episode discusses a simple yet powerful concept: Counting. Mentally or physically fatigued? Talk yourself into a little bit more. It may not seem like a BIG idea, but counting is a an under rated tool that can yield huge benefits and help you breakthrough, both physically and mentally. At the gym, when you're trying to talk yourself into another set, you can tell yourself "just do three more," or "just do five more." And when you reach that small goal you can sell yourself on more and more. We often sell ourselves way short of what we're capable of! It's not just a tool for exercise; it's a helpful as a productivity method. Challenge yourself to focus on one task for 30 minutes, distraction-free. Can you do 10 more minutes? 20? Counting helps you not just raise the bar; it helps you get started and pushes you into your second (or third, or eighth) wind! Listen in for more on how counting can help you push through both physically and mentally and how it's all ingrained in the Habit Factor methodology and PARR! Enjoy! *** New listeners: By texting the word "HABITS" to the mobile phone number "33444" you will instantly receive your "hack"/habit tracker/habit development template, or you can download it here: thehabitfactor.com/templates.

S5: 40: Intentional
"Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny." Today's Monday Mind Bullet touches upon a fascinating topic, placing attention upon the concept of being intentional. What is intention? In a Season 3 episode entitled Intention, we spoke at length about the topic, discussing in depth Wayne Dyer's great book The Power of Intention where he spells out the "seven faces of intention." In our interview with Drew Goodmanson, he discussed the concept of "success" something he attributes to becoming very intentional, putting in the time necessary to identify and plan — to write out specific goals about who he is going to become. How intentional are you when it comes to your aspirations? Not just making a New Year's goal, but taking the time to look at your mind, body, spiritual and social realms to boost your wellness? Listen in for more on how success is no accident, how intention helps create our reality, and how HABIT and PARR can come together to put your intentions into action.

S5: 39: The Best Gift You Can Give?
"The greatest gift you can give somebody is your own personal development." ~ Jim Rohn What is the greatest gift you can give your loved ones? Is it money? A house? Love? This Fantastic Frequently asked Friday proposes a different angle: Perhaps the greatest gift you can give anybody is YOUR own personal development. When YOU are stronger and better — spiritually, mentally and physically — you not only gives your loved ones a great gift, but you take the first step toward improving the world. Nobody improves the world without first improving themselves! If you're attacking life and your own personal development, taking a cue from Emerson and his adage that "all life is an experiment," then you are bound to grow and change, becoming a better you each day. Listen for advice on giving your loved ones the greatest gift and attacking life as an experiment -- with the help of Habit Factor and PARR!

"Everything is a trick to keep you from focusing on the real issue, which is you! I would suggest the listeners need to start a revolution of one." ~Drew Goodmanson Habits2Goals is proud to present a conversation with entrepreneur extraordinaire Drew Goodmanson. A lifelong entrepreneur, Drew has built and sold multiple companies and is a highly sought-after executive coach, leader and strategic advisor. Fresh out of college and into his first cubicle-based job, it took Drew about six months to realize he was an entrepreneur at heart. Taking a leap of faith, Drew started his own business — a staffing and recruiting company that soon counted Amazon.com as a client. Over the next two decades Drew went on to start and sell multiple businesses and build one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the U.S. Today Drew is focused on helping entrepreneurs benefit from his hard-won wisdom, and experience exponentially more value when they sell their companies. Tune in for a fascinating discussion of not just entrepreneurship and business strategy, but becoming the best version of yourself and using the gifts you've been given to find true success.

S5: 37: Greater Than Circumstance
"Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside themselves was superior to circumstance.” ~Bruce Barton Today's Monday Mind Bullet is rooted upon the great quote above: When you think about it, some of the greatest achievers have burst through circumstances and struggles to attain unlikely success. Think Steve Jobs and his "reality distortion field." When told his vision was impossible, he insisted and created the future of communication. He wouldn't take no for an answer. Where there's a will, there's a way (if you will)! We're all going through the grind, fighting our battles, trying to handle the circumstances life throws at us. Dig deep inside and find the strength to push through! Listen in for more on why "you got this." You are resourceful enough -- if you believe you are -- to find a way to be superior to whatever circumstance you face.

S5: 36: Where Do I Begin?
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve." ~Napoleon Hill “Clarity is essential. Knowing exactly what you want builds your self-confidence immeasurably.” ~Brian Tracy You're down. You're dejected. Things need to turn around for you. This Frequently Asked Friday brings us back to the beginning with a simple question: Where do I begin? First, it's important to note, as you're picking yourself up, that there is a distinction between failing (the activity) and knowing that YOU, the person, are certainly not a failure. Failure, as we've noted in the past, is stepping stone along the path that we all go through. As long as they're non-lethal, failures are a necessary and important step on your path toward becoming your best self. So where do we start? Recalling Covey's adage "Begin with the end in mind," we must find clarity. Where is it you're trying to go? What is it that you're trying to accomplish? Do you believe IT is possible? Listen in for more about digging yourself out of a hole, finding your own success, gaining clarity about your goals, and taking action via the mechanics of HABIT -- which can help you achieve anything you conceive!

S5: 35: Intelligence
"In life, goals are not optional." ~Grunburg "Action is the real measure of intelligence." ~Napoleon Hill This special Mind Bullet Wednesday edition brings us a fascinating follow-up to our Alex Bates interview on artificial intelligence: In order to develop artificial intelligence, the programmer MUST begin with a GOAL. Therefore, does it not stand to reason as intelligent beings, we MUST have goals. To put it another way: If artificial intelligence is "Goal directed behavior." What is "real" intelligence? Ultimately, whether we want to admit it or not, REAL intelligence is the establishment of, and pursuit (action) of goals. The natural follow-up question is, "How do I set goals?" While "S.M.A.R.T." Goals have been a favorite methodology since the 80's it never accounted for the force HABIT plays in goal achievement! The Habit Factor continues to teach and preach that when positive habits are aligned with your goals, you are on the fastest most efficient path to achieve your goals. To be intelligent then is to demonstrate that you are working your way toward a goal— "goal-directed behavior"! Thus, in life, goals are truly NOT optional particularly if you want to be considered intelligent! Listen in for more on how intelligence -- just like artificial intelligence -- demands an objective, and how the Habit Factor methodology can guide you!

S5: 34: Keep Your Trap Shut
"Repeatedly, psychology tests have proven that telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen.” ~Derek Sivers When it comes to goal achievement, lots of accountability advice urges you to TALK about your goals and share your progress with others. The idea is that this will keep you on track. But is this good advice? The tendency may be to talk about our goals and progress, but there is incredible power in keeping your trap shut! Your big problem with goal achievement might be dissipating your energy with early self-congratulations. Listen in for more on why withholding your precious energy might make your goal achievement easier — and more satisfying when you get there.

S5: 33: The Value of Negative Emotions
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” ~Carl Jung “Where there is hope in the future there is happiness in the present.” Is there any value to negative emotions? Well, it may depend on the specific negative emotion. In truth, there IS value to many negative emotions; they serve a purpose. Is fear beneficial? It certainly can be — it can even be a motivator and even a lifesaver — as long as it doesn't prevent you from moving forward, growing and challenging yourself. As the Carl Jung quote above explains, within certain emotions, such as anger and irritation, we can turn inward and grow in our own emotional intelligence. We can use these emotions to grow ourselves -- as long as we don't dwell in the negative space. But it's important to make it a HABIT to constantly be aware of our emotions and shine the spotlight on ourselves. Listen in for insight into turning negative feelings into emotional positives.

"The next wave of AI will be able to augment people to become superhuman. Solutions will be at the ready for nearly all problems facing humanity." ~Alex Bates Habits2Goals presents a powerful interview with Alex Bates, a phenomenal entrepreneur, inventor and bestselling author of Augmented Mind: AI Superhumans and the Next Economic Revolution. When Alex was growing up in Portland, battling for computer time with his siblings, he developed an obsession with the emerging Internet and artificial neural networks.

After spending a decade on the front lines of the AI revolution, Alex discovered the one key ingredient that was missing from mainstream AI research — humans! His new book explains how augmenting humans, combining human intuition and artificial intelligence, will herald an unprecedented era of productivity and financial success. Listen in for an absolutely fascinating discussion of how human-centered AI will help us solve the biggest problems facing humanity while also protecting us from rogue or weaponized AI systems.

S5: 31: Bohemian Rhapsody Lessons
"It takes the same energy to think small as it does to think big. So dream big and think bigger.” ~ Daymond John This Mind Bullet Monday was inspired by the awesome movie Bohemian Rhapsody, which is gaining accolades for its lead actor and compelling story of Freddy Mercury and Queen's rise to success. There are a few nuggets of wisdom in this movie that we can all keep in mind while chasing our goals and dreams, overlaying some themes from the movie onto our own lives. The first "big idea" is to think BIGGER. At one point, Freddy prods his bandmates to see themselves as more than just a popular touring band and to actually record an album -- and aim to be legendary! Where can you think big strategically? The next big idea is to "synthesize." In the movie, Freddy indulges his creative instinct to blend opera with rock. Where can WE use this synthetic creativity in our lives? Listen in to for more personal development mind bullets from Bohemian Rhapsody and see how you can apply these lessons to your life.

S5: 30: Buffett's Hiring 3 C's
“It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.”. ~Warren Buffett What are Warren Buffett's criteria for hiring employees? Buffett is one of the wealthiest men in the world who possesses incredible insight into investing and business. What does it take to get hired by him? What he says ought to matter! First, a potential employee must be curious -- someone who is a perpetual student and constant learner. Knowledge is fluid and curiosity is so important because it allows us to connect the dots between disciplines. Trait number 2? Coachability! Learning isn't enough if you aren't coachable. Managers today are coaches more than anything, and the greatest coaches reinforce the good and positively redirect what needs tweaking. Trait number three: Character (ethics). The first two don't matter a whole lot with no ethics behind them! Listen in for a fun and fascinating look at one brilliant man's insight into what makes a valuable contributor.

S5: 29: Strength, Mastery, Power
"Self control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power." ~James Allen, As a Man Thinketh On this doozy of a Wednesday Mind Bullet Habits2Goals episode, we meditate upon these James Allen words: "Self control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power." Giving this great wisdom The Habit Factor spin, we take a look at the first idea, "Self control is strength." Discipline and self control are HABITS and can be developed. This is where strength originates, because if we can't control ourselves, we have nothing upon which to build our own strength. When we examine "Right thought is mastery," via the prism of Habit Factor and PARR, we see that challenging our thinking is essential to putting ourselves in a positive head space. Can you kill the negative thought patterns and emotions that cripple you? Listen in for more insight into gaining true power and emotional poise -- and how HabitStrength puts us in control!

S5: 28: Look Up!
"Keep looking up. That's the secret of life." ~Snoopy It's a true Mind-Bullet Monday as we take on this little nugget of wisdom that came out of the blue: Look up! Look at the sky, the treetops, the clouds more often! Our vision tends toward eye level at best, and ground level at worst. But looking up immediately changes your perspective. You get a more panoramic view — in more ways than one. When we're beaten down by life's challenges, our gaze tends to lower. But looking up gives us a new perspective, according to research, and triggers other parts of the brain as well as changing your thinking patterns and mood Are YOU looking up? You may be surprised by what happens next! Listen in for more on pausing, looking up, and changing your perspective -- and see how it affects your world!

“Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes, and the grass grows, by itself.” ~ Zen proverb "Don't just do something — sit there." As we settle into our brand-new 2019, this Frequently Asked Friday episode addresses what we gleaned from last year: What lessons have we learned from 2018? Lesson number one: The FUNDAMENTALS. Take a look at the things we do every day. Are we doing them right? Never be afraid to backtrack and hone, strengthen and improve the fundamentals -- even breathing! MG's Lesson number two: MEDITATION. After years of trying to be expedient and efficient with meditation, a talk with Fred Gratzon, author of The Lazy Way to Success, brought new insight into the power of not trying so hard. Sometimes pulling back is the lesson. What gifts and lessons did 2018 bring to you? Listen in for more lessons from last year, and learn how living life like an experiment may bring the biggest rewards in 2019.

S5: 26: 5 Keys to Successful Resolutions
“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.” ~Abraham Lincoln On this Wednesday Mind Bullet episode, we wish our listeners a Happy New Year and share five ways to make sure YOUR resolutions are successful! Whatever we RESOLVE to do (these are, after all, resolutions), it is our job to set our goals. No one else is going to set our goals for us! What does your heart desire? If we begin with the end in mind, as the late, great Dr. Stephen Covey advises in his 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, we can ask ourselves: If I were to die tomorrow, what experience would I most regret not having? You may want to reduce debt, run with the bulls, lose weight — this exercise unveils your DESIRE. What comes after DESIRE? Listen in for the rest of the key ingredients that will make your goals a reality--whether it takes one year or 10!

S5: 25: 2018 Highlights and Lessons Learned
"The unexamined life is not worth living." ~Socrates Habits2Goals welcomes in the New Year with a look back at 2018. It's a time to reflect on a brilliant year, with thoughts, highlights and lessons learned. As important as it is to look forward and set goals, it is just as crucial to reflect. And reflecting and assessing is, of course, part of PARR (Plan, Act, Record, Reassess) and habit building. MG looks back on his personal 2018 highlights and reflects on the importance of learning new skills and putting yourself out there -- reinforcing the idea that "life is an experiment, and the more experiments you make, the better." Are YOU viewing life as an experiment? Listen in for some inspiration to live YOUR best life in 2019 as you reflect back on your accomplishments of 2018.

S5: 24: What Are Foundational Habits?
“Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.” ~ Stephen Covey For this Frequently Asked Friday Habits2Goals episode, we ask a burning question that speaks to the core of goal achievement: What are foundational habits? Sometimes referred as keystone habits, these are the habits that, over the course of a lifetime, will have the greatest compounding effect. Think about the habits we perform every day — eating, breathing, how we sleep, drinking water. Since they are performed every day, they have the greatest impact on our life AND our other habits. The compounding effect is powerful! These habits influence — and infiltrate — all the other habits of our day. Knowing this, when we set out to design our lives, and achieve our goals, we must first look to these foundational habits. Join us for a reminder of how these keystone habits must be in alignment with our goals and how leveraging them can give us an edge.

S5: 23: Heat-Seeking Missile
"You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.” “You cannot make it as a wandering generality, you must become a meaningful specific.” ~ Zig Ziglar This special Wednesday Mind Bullet episode has us pondering our goal achievement via an analogy: You are a heat-seeking missile. Goals are not optional -- we were designed for accomplishment! Climbers don't end up on the top of Mount Everest by accident. Authors don't write a book by accident. You don't complete a marathon by accident. Goal achievers go out and complete that goal -- once they know what their target is. A heat-seeking missile must have a target to go after -- even a moving target. The missile corrects when necessary, never wavering. It is self-correcting because it knows where it is trying to go! It's hard to hit a target you can't see, and as goal-seekers, we need to figure out where we're trying to go and how to get there. Listen in to be inspired by our unique predilection for goal achievement, finding out where we need to go, and how habit and P.A.R.R. can drive our success!

S5: 22: The End
"Everything will be OK in the end, and if it's not OK, it is not the end." ~John Lennon This Christmas Eve Mind-Bullet Monday episode ponders a sobering and seemingly heavy topic: The end. Every morning for the last 13 years, MG takes his dog out for a frisbee session on the beach, complete with audience and aerials. But on a chilly recent morning, when Roxy the dog pulled up a little cramped and lame, the thought occurred: The end is coming. Not today, not tomorrow, but the beginning of the end is here. The end is all around us and it's happening all the time -- bittersweet, but an integral part of the dynamism of life. The one great constant in life is change, so the end is often just a transformation -- a metamorphosis. Listen in for an inspiring conversation about embracing the sometimes bittersweet metamorphosis of life.

It is always possible." ~ Dalai Lama On this Fantastic Frequently Asked Friday episode, we ponder a question that applies to family, business, goal-setting and all other aspects of life: What are the three rules?

S5: 20: Enlightenment
"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” ~ Zen quote On a special Wednesday Habits2Goals Mind Bullet, we ponder a topic we somehow haven't gotten to in five seasons: Enlightenment. The perplexing quote above shares with us that once we reach enlightenment, the work "out there" doesn't change. What changes is the "in here" -- what goes on within us. We go about our day, but we see things differently. So what is enlightenment? Is it oneness? An understanding of universal principles? Unity, love, kindness? Unifying principles that create a lens through which you see life? Or, does enlightenment mean something else altogether? Listen in for a fascinating discussion about a literal translation of enlightenment -- a "lightening of the load" when negativity is cast away.

S5: 19: Time!
"We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next 10. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction." ~ Bill Gates Why are we overly ambitious in the short term but woefully shortsighted as we envision our long-term future? In the goal-setting arena, we impatiently set our sights on short-term success. Who has time for 10 years of planning and hard work? We want success THIS year! But when we view the idea of reaching our goals as a process, we see that daily efforts compound over time and our ultimate success is greater than we could have imagined -- if we stick to the process. Listen in for a fascinating discussion of patience and persistence, and reaping the rewards of taking the slow road..

S5: 18: Why Do I Suck?
"Ask a Garbage In question, you get a Garbage Out response." This Frequently Asked Friday was inspired by a Google search gone awry. When typing, "Why do I . . . " the search engine autofilled a tragic question: "Why do I suck? The quality of our questions directs our focus, attention and energy. So if we're asking "Why do I suck...at life...at relationships," etc., this is not a quality question. Our energy is clearly in the wrong place. Asking a better question is a good place to start. Ask positive questions. Remember, where your attention goes, your energy flows! Begin with the end in mind: How do you create a quality question when you know what your goal is?

S5: 17: Resistance
"What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.” ~ Carl Jung Is frustration and futility really worth it? Too often we get caught up in frustration and cling to what should be happening — we resist — instead of accepting what is and finding a solution. What are you resisting? Resisting can make things worse and often complicates your true end goal. Whether it's something as significant as hearing impairment or insignificant as a NEW pen that doesn't work, if we respond positively to what we perceive as a negative experience, the frustration dissipates. Listen in for some revelations about how to positively respond to a bad situation, accept the circumstances, and go about finding a solution -- bringing light (acceptance) to a dark (negative) situation.

S5: 16: Seeking Simple Mind
"The successful man is the average man, with laser-like focus." ~Bruce Lee "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." - Henry Ford Today's Mind Bullet Monday brings us back to the fundamentals: the benefits of being simple-minded. It's not what you may think. A "simple mind" refers to a calm mind, full of concentration. Simplification is often the key to success. Too many brilliant, talented people are getting so caught up in overthinking — what might happen, what could happen — that nothing gets accomplished. That's energy and attention wasted! Listen in to hear about keeping it simple and focused, and how the Habit Factor works because it "dummies down" the process of habit development and goal achievement.

S5: 15: What's the Best Way To Meditate?
"All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone." ~Blaise Pascal This Fantastic Frequently Asked Friday episode is a topic near and dear to MG's heart — especially these days: What is the best way to meditate? The answer isn't cut-and-dried, but the first step is to BEGIN. Just do it! Meditation is a practice, so don't forget to track it. Secondly, experiment! There's no one right way to meditate. Don't get caught up in form and function, how to sit, etc. Maybe you stretch. Maybe you don't want to close your eyes. Who cares? Just experiment and track it! Listen in to hear about common meditation mistakes (don't try to be efficient), and how to experiment with your surroundings, hit your meditation stride, and find the tools to bring stillness and clarity to your life.

S5: 14: The Hardest Thing in the World
"To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe On this special Wednesday Mind Bullet episode, we explore a topic rooted in the great quote above by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. To paraphrase: Thinking is easy. Acting is hard. But to act as you think is the most difficult of all! Taking action is a common theme here at Habits2Goals. Recall Napoleon Hill's words: "Action is the real measure of intelligence." How often do we "think" we should eat a certain way. Do we always act that way? We think we should save money. Do we? Acting as we think is difficult! But this is more than discipline or willpower: Are we acting in coherence with our thinking? The beginning of acting as we think is the (drumroll) . . . establishment of a habit! Listen in for a discussion of why goal-setting sometimes crumbles and how self-efficacy -- the ability to produce a desired result -- is the direct product of PARR.

S5: 13: Impatience
"It is the height of stupidity to believe that in the course of your short life, your few decades of consciousness, you can somehow rewire the configurations of your brain... time will mercilessly expose your weakness and impatience." ~Robert Greene On this Mind Bullet Monday we revisit a topic that can't be addressed enough: Impatience. In short, there are no shortcuts to greatness. Robert Greene's fascinating work, Mastery, offers a brutal take on the subject: Essentially, he says, it's the "height of stupidity" to be impatient -- to think you can rest on your laurels and not actively pursue mastery. We're all a little bit impatient — it's ingrained in us to some extent. We of the microwave generations have become wired for instant gratification. But we cannot translate this impatience and reliance on any shortcuts to reach true mastery -- success. Listen in to hear a fascinating angle on impatience, and how to actually embrace the process of reaching true mastery and following the process -- for as long as it takes.

S5: 12: Sequential Days for Habit Development?
"Consistency over time vs. a short burst of activity is what ultimately encourages and supports the development of any habit." Today's Frequently Asked Friday episode aims to bust a myth: "To form a habit you must perform the behavior every day." That is absolutely NOT true! The worst part, believing such a myth might actually prevent you from trying to develop new, positive habits! What is important -- above all else -- is consistency over time! Remember P.A.R.R.: Plan, Act, Record Reassess. The process of habit tracking for 28 days will allow the "seedling" of your habit to take root. Raising the minimum success criteria and going another 28 days will instill it even further! Listen in to hear what actually has to happen to create a habit and develop a skill.

"Are you interested in achieving your life's goals and becoming successful or are you committed? Understanding that difference changed my life!" ~ John Assaraf Habits2Goals is proud to present a personal development, living legend, Mr. John Assaraf — bestselling author, CEO of NeuroGym, business growth expert and leader in the field of brain research and brain retraining. When John was 19 years old — broke, jobless and spiraling downward — he met a business mentor who asked him a question that changed his life: "John, are you interested in achieving your goals or are you committed? If you're interested you'll take the easy way, but when you're committed you will do whatever it takes. You will change your beliefs about yourself." John never looked back and found that we all have the power to change our lives. Learn about "Innercise" neuroscience of success and goal achievement — and how John Assaraf became the poster child for how dramatically your life can change once you learn to master your mindset.

S5: 10: The Mind Creates the Abyss
"The mind creates the abyss; the heart crosses it. " - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj This Magnificent Mind Bullet Monday is inspired by a powerful quote: "The mind creates the abyss; the heart crosses it." Sometimes our thoughts and our reasoning can create problems, especially when it comes to goal setting. When we overthink things, the "abyss" gets bigger and bigger as we rationalize our way out of our hopes and dreams. But when we quiet the mind, instead of focusing on the obstacles, we can commit -- and then solve the problems along the way! Listen in to hear how dialing down your thinking and throwing your heart into your goals can bring you untold rewards!

S5: 09: What Are the Worst Self-Help Cliches?
"Remember, it's rarely either/or; it's BOTH!" This Frequently Asked Fridays episode comes on the heels of our "What Are Your Favorite Self-Help Quotes?" episode. This week, we go the opposite direction: "What are the worst self-help cliches?" Some of these platitudes are regurgitated so much they are actually painful to hear, misunderstood and detrimental to our well-being. The problem is, our life views don't have to be an either-or situation. Don't get caught up in a train or tract of thinking that may trap you!

S5: 07: Garbage In, Garbage Out
"In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is where flawed, or nonsense input data produces nonsense output or 'garbage'." For this Habits2Goals Mind Bullet Monday episode, we look at a fundamental concept that is at once simple and profound: "Garbage in, garbage out." In other words, our input produces our output. From a goal achievement standpoint, it's easy to see that habit is the input while goals are the output. But it isn't just about goal achievement -- "garbage in, garbage out" is applicable to multiple angles of life, from language to food to thought. In fact, what we put in equals what we get out. If we're putting in the wrong information -- or misinformation -- the results will be lacking. Listen in for a reminder to ask yourself, "Where is garbage flowing into my life?" Where are your results disappointing you?

S5: 06: What Is the Aim of Life?
"Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life; the whole aim and end of human existence . . . Our happiness depends upon ourselves." ~ Aristotle Our FFAF (Fantastic Frequently Asked Friday) is a doozy that falls into the realm of philosophy: What is the aim of life? Stripping away the environmental contexts we all are ensnared in, several philosophies try to tackle the question. Is the aim of life to be happy, a la the Dalai Lama? But what if happiness is choice, crafted for ourselves? Is the aim of life to be of service? Or, as Aristotle says, to better ourselves -- pursue virtue? Perhaps the aim of life is multifold. Listen in for a fascinating discussion of the meaning of life -- and how habit contributes to the end goal.

When you find yourself lost and stuck, what are the tools to rattle yourself and get yourself unstuck and moving again?

S5: 04: Trust the Process
"Trust the process. Your time is coming. Just do the work and the results will handle themselves." ~ Tony Gaskins An inspiring Mind-Bullet Monday speaks to all of us: When something doesn't go our way in the moment, all is not lost. Accept what happens and trust the process — trust the universe. Too often, the story you create in your head can hold you back. "They're against me. It wasn't right. I've been treated unfairly." What if the story you're telling yourself in your head isn't true? What if you're exactly where you are meant to be, learning the lessons you need to learn? When life doesn't unfold the way you expect it to, how you respond is key. When you accept what happens and trust the process -- trust the universe -- so many good things can still happen for you. Listen in and hear about how being a good sport isn't just an act. It's an acceptance that something good can still come out of a situation. Enjoy! *** New listeners: By texting the word "HABITS" to the mobile phone number "33444" you will instantly receive your "hack"/habit tracker/habit development template, or you can download it here: thehabitfactor.com/templates.

How do you hold yourself accountable?

S5: 01: See the Reaching
"If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind." ~Zig Ziglar Welcome to Season 5! This Mind-Bullet Monday kickoff discusses vision — the critical importance of seeing the completion of your goal long before you actually accomplish it. Recently, MG has become fascinated with slacklining. You may have seen this at parks or beaches, where people attempt to balance along a suspended length of webbing between two anchors. Addicted to the challenge of slacklining on the beach, but frustrated by an inability to "see" himself succeeding at a difficult trick, he found himself stuck — until a small boost gave him the vision he needed to break through. Listen in to hear more about the gift of vision and how the ability to believe first will help you "see the reaching" and achieve your greatest goals. Enjoy!

S4: 50: Standards!
"If you want to change your life, you have to raise your standards." ~ Tony Robbins Standard: A level of quality or attainment. Used or accepted as normal or average. In this second-to-last episode of Season IV -- and 50th episode of the season! -- this special Mind-Bullet Wednesday ponders the concept of standards. We subconsciously set "acceptable" standards in the major areas of our lives -- appearance, dress, diet, wealth, etc. Sometimes, setting a new standard -- demanding more of yourself -- can dramatically boost your health, self esteem and more. Since we tend to get what we accept, let's set the bar higher! Challenge just ONE of your currently acceptable standards to create a higher quality of life — and see once again how it all tracks back to HABIT. Enjoy!

S4: 49: Language and Thought
“The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name." ~ Chinese Proverb Today's MBM, (Mind-Bullet Monday) centers around an insight intrinsic to The Habit Factor: How language shapes our thinking. Language shapes how we think and therefore how we solve problems! For instance, why is it that scholars and "experts" in goal achievement hadn't previously identified the intentional crafting and alignment of habits as a methodology for goal achievement? Instead focusing on tasks and "next steps". Here's the reason: For the most part, habit has carried with it a "negative" connotation, ie: smoking, drinking, drugs, biting nails, etc. Thus, making it more difficult to naturally associate habit as a process/methodology for goal achievement. Why does this matter? When you understand words/language with greater precision it translates to different thinking! As you research and work toward your goal be sure to investigate and analyze the language that surrounds it. Listen in to hear more about how language creates meaning in your thought process and goal achievement. Enjoy!

S4: 48: What Do You See?
"It's not what you look at that matters. It's what you see." ~ Henry David Thoreau When things go sideways, what do you see? When it all hits the fan, how do you spin it? How well are you able to hold your vision when you hit obstacles? Are you able to keep your eyes on the prize? The great Henry Ford once said, "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." The great Brian Tracy put it this way: "Clarity is 95% of success."

S4: 47: H. J. Evans: Tequila and Two Decisions
"Decide what you want to be -- and go be it!" ~Tequila Truck Habits2Goals welcomes back former co-host Henry J. Evans, a dynamic marketing expert, best-selling author, speaker and consultant on accountability, strategy execution and emotionally intelligent leadership. Henry discusses his reaffirmed belief in the PARR methodology and how important it is to track and measure your behavior. "That which is tracked and measured is improved!" MG shares his most recent behavior-tracking journey, "The Path to 178!" where he vowed to reduce his body fat to lower levels than when he was 38 years old. Tracking, both hosts, explain, is the ironic path to freedom! Recall: "discipline = freedom." Henry shares that a trusted tracking system lets you "offload" these things from your mind, helping you truly be in the present. Save the mind for big thinking! The Big Idea discussed in this episode springs from both meditation and tequila: A tequila truck sign that read, "Decide what you want to be and go be it!" This unlikely source of wisdom inspires a deeper insight into behavior and tracking: What is stopping you from becoming the person you really want to be? More importantly, WHO do you want to be and WHERE do you want to go? And what matters more: the WHO or the WHERE? Listen in to hear a fascinating discussion about how DECIDING is the key to going where you want to go and being who you want to be -- and how it all circles back around to forming those positive behaviors / habits that support your goals!

S4: 46: Keys to Wealth and Happiness
“If you want to become all you can become, do all you can do, hear all you can hear, see all you can see, you’ve got to learn how to handle frustration." ~Tony Robbins This intriguing Mind-Bullet Monday episode is inspired by something Tony Robbins shares in his book Unlimited Power: The 5 Keys to Wealth and Happiness -- which effectively coincide with both The Habit Factor and to an even greater degree, The Pressure Paradox. Viewed from The PRISM Of PRESSURE in particular, the first four keys are particularly insightful, directly relating to our ability to understand and respond to pressure -- and how to use it to your advantage. According to Tony's concepts, we see that in many ways, pressure is an essential force for wealth and happiness! Listen in to hear how each of these concepts ties back to pressure and how to turn your obstacles into opportunities for greatness. Enjoy!
