Get What You Want: The Secret Sauce

Information

Okay, here’s the formula to getting what you want…let me make this as stupid simple as humanly possible.

1. Use your attention as mirror that informs you of what you value.

2. Use your values to clarify what you *actually* want, not what you think you want pr what you should want.

3. Identify the one thing you want that, if you get, will makes everything else easier and/or more enjoyable.

4. Identify all the things that will hinder your ability to get that one thing and modify your behavior and decision making to systematically remove the hinderances, starting with the one that requires the least amount of effort.

5. Now that you’ve got your foot off the brake, Identify the things that have to go right in order for you get what you want, and modify your behavior and decision making in such a way that makes those things go right.

6. Put up guardrails that keep on track and in your lane.

7. Play the infinite game of whack-a-mole to resolve speed bumps, potholes, and detours until you finally get what you want.

**Pay attention to what you are paying attention to along the way to make sure you don’t get distracted, get stuck, burn out, or blow yourself up.

Now that you have the first thing, start again from the beginning.

That’s it.

That’s how you systematically get more of what you want.
(and less of what you don’t)

It’s that simple.

Thanks for reading, hope this is useful for you.
