What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  1. What are Rocks?

    • Your top four priorities for the year—the big, non-negotiable goals that go into your jar first.

  2. 3 Key Strategies for Crushing Your Rocks:

    • Visibility:

      • Keep your goals front and center.
      • Examples: Screen savers, desktop reminders, or even framing them like Kevin did.

    • Scheduling:

      • Plan time for your rocks in advance.
      • Example: A client scheduled four trips to visit her parents a year ahead to stay on track.

    • Tracking:

      • Measure your progress regularly.
      • Tools: Google tasks, habit trackers, or gamified apps to track lead indicators.

  3. The Power of Lead Indicators:

    • Focus on actions you control (e.g., working out daily instead of focusing solely on weight loss).
    • This shift helps maintain motivation and ensure success.

  4. Real Stories from Real People:

    • Hear about clients who overcame challenges—injuries, ADHD, anxiety—to crush their rocks.

  5. Why Goal Setting Isn’t Just for “Other People”:

    • Stop giving yourself a pass to be ordinary. Extraordinary results are within your reach, even amidst life’s chaos.
 Quotes:
  • "We manage what we measure. If you want better results, measure more often."
  • "Don’t lose sight of your rocks. They’re what keep you focused through joy, heartache, and distractions."
  • "Stop thinking it’s easier for ‘other people.’ Goal setting is for everyone who’s ready to take control of their life."
Actionable Takeaways:
  • Write down your top four rocks for next year.
  • Make your rocks visible—turn them into reminders you see every day.
  • Schedule time for your rocks in advance and protect that time like a meeting with your future self.
  • Track your lead indicators to focus on behaviors you can control.
