-: When you vlog, I recommend throwing down a challenge. 2 2
And when you vocalize a challenge 3 3
or a big goal for yourself, 4 4
the probability of you getting it done goes up a lot 5 5
because you're telling people. 6 6
You're putting yourself on the spot, 7 7
and I say it with love in my heart. 8 8
And so, for me, and I'm gonna make a fool of myself here, 9 9
but about eight months ago, I told my students on one vlog 10 10
that my 10-year goal is to get an Academy Award 11 11
for a business documentary that does something good 12 12
to help the world. 13 13
And people ask me now, how's it going? 14 14
Are you getting closer to your goal, 15 15
but hopefully I am (chuckling). 16 16
My video quality has improved. 17 17
It's still not up to par, 18 18
but you gotta vocalize your goal. 19 19
You definitely do. 20 20
And it was Jim Cameron that said, 21 21
he's, the Canadian guy represents, 22 22
that created "Avatar" and, of course, "Titanic". 23 23
I'm buying time as I think what he said again. 24 24
Oh yeah, I remember now. 25 25
He said, "You wanna set your goals so high 26 26
"so that if you fail, you still fail 27 27
"above everyone else's expectations." 28 28
I love that. 29 29
I love that, and one last thought 30 30
I wanna leave you with here, 31 31
I met with Tony Robbins a while back, really nice guy. 32 32
And when I shook his hand, 33 33
his hand like wrapped around mine. 34 34
He's a big dude, but he said something really cool. 35 35
He said the reason that 90% of people give up 36 36
on their New Year's resolutions by the third week of January 37 37
is because they don't set a deadline date. 38 38
And so, when you set these goals, 39 39
these big, hairy, audacious goal, B-H-A-G, BHAG goals, 40 40
when you set these goals 41 41
and you vocalize them over YouTube, 42 42
what I want you to do is I want you 43 43
to set a deadline because that will push you, 44 44
and I say it with love in my heart, 45 45
towards getting it done, getting it done. 46 46
You always gotta have a deadline date for your goals.
