In doing big things or setting and achieving big goals for yourself; you need to distinguish the desired outcome that made all your efforts worthwhile.

1. The 4-hour week
Step One – D is For Definition

2. 1. Cautions and Comparisons
2. Rules That Change The Rules
3. Dodging Bullets
4. *System Reset*
(main focus)

3. Being unreasonable and
unambiguous
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.”
George Bernard Shaw

4. Doing the unrealistic is easier
than doing the realistic

5. • It’s as easy as believable that It can be done…
• It’s lonely at the top. 99% of the people in the world are convinced they are
incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre.
So the level of competition is fierce for “realistic” goals, thus making it most time
and energy consuming…
If you are insecure, know that the rest of the world is too… so don’t
overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself

6. Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.
HOW?
Realistic goals are restricting to the average ambition level,
They are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the 1st or 2nd problem, until you
throw in the towel.
And if the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.
In essence, fishing for an unrealistic goal is best, because that is where the fewest go. There
is less competition for bigger goals
Doing big things…if I may say having big goals begins with asking for them properly.

7. What Do You Want ? A Better
Question, First Of All

8. Often times we ask…”what do you want”? – it’s too imprecise to
produce a meaningful and actionable answer.
Also, we often ask the question…”what are your goals”? – that question
often brings in confusion and guesswork.
Let’s rephrase that… in doing big things or setting and achieving big goals for
yourself; you need to distinguish the desired outcome that made all your
efforts worthwhile.
The question we should ask isn’t “what do I want or what are my
goals?” but “what would excite me?”

9. Adult-onset ADD: adventure
deficit disorder

10. • “BE realistic and stop pretending. Life isn’t like the
movies”
• When you set goals for yourself, be specific, define the
alternate activities that would replace the initial workload.
These alternate activities are the vehicles to use to reach
whatever goal you have set for yourself.

11. Don’t work yourself to death, but rather to success, through a defined
activity path. Or else you would turn out to be the “fat man in the red
bmw convertible”
Loosing sight of your goal, losing faith, or succumbing to reality of
“what will be will be”, is a result of boredom, no set alternate activities
to set you on track and back in line.
“Remember, that Boredom, not abstract failure is the enemy”

12. Correcting Course - Get
unrealistic

13. To reignite or correct your course of action whenever you feel like the fat man in
the red bmw. You have to be involved in-
Dreamlining – This applies timelines to what most of us consider dreams.
This is much like goal-setting, where;
1. The goals shift from ambiguous wants to defined steps
2. The goals need to be unrealistic to be effective
3. Activities that fill the vacuum created when work is removed are focused on.
Dreamlining is fun, but it’s hard…but the harder it is, the more it’s needed.

14. Dreamlining

15. Follow these steps when dreamlining
1. What would you do if there was no way you could fail? If you were 10
times smarter than the rest of the world?
Create 2 timelines
6 months
Having
Being
Doing
12 months
Having
Being
Doing

16. 2. Drawing a Blank?... Most common with the doing category. If so, ask yourself
“What would you do, day by day, if you had $100 million in the bank?
What would make you most excited to wake up in the morning to another day?
If you are blank on point 2, think up and write with the following;
One place to visit
One thing to do before you die
One thing to do daily
One thing to do weekly
One thing you’ve always wanted to learn

17. 3. What does ”being” entail?
To be actionable, “being” must be converted to “doing”. So identify an action or a task that would
characterize this state of being and mean you had achieved it.

18. 4. What are the four dreams that would change it all?
5. Determine the cost of these 4 dreams and calculate your target monthly income (TMI) for
both timelines.
TMI = (having + being +doing) + (1.3 * monthly expenses)
1.3 is expenses + a 30% buffer for safety or savings
TDI (Target Daily Income) = TMI / 30

19. 6. Determine three steps for each of the four dreams, steps that will get you closer to
your dream actualization.
Set simple, well defined actions for now, tomorrow and the day after
(complete before 11a.m for tomorrow and the day after actions)
“Tomorrow becomes never. No matter how small the task, take the first step now!”

20. Comfort challenge

21. The most important actions are never comfortable. But you can condition
yourself to discomfort and overcome it.
Develop the uncommon habit of making decisions, both for yourself and for
others.
There is a direct correlation between an increased sphere of comfort and
getting what you want.

22. Exercise On Comfort Challenge – Learn to Eye Gaze (2 Days)
1. Focus on one eye and be sure to blink occasionally so you don’t look
like a psychopath or get your ass kicked
2. In conversations, maintain eye contact, when speaking, even when
listening
3. Practice with people bigger or more confidence than you.
