What's better than a S.M.A.R.T. goal? How do you create a goal that gets you excited, but also scares you? How can you test to make sure it's worth doing? In this livestream, Chris talks to Michael Bungay Stanier on how one can make a worthy goal. Michael shares the three elements a worthy goal has to have, how to create your first draft, and how to test it to see if it meets the worthiness criteria. Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of six books which between them have sold more than a million copies. He’s best known for The Coaching Habit, the best-selling coaching book of the century and already recognized as a classic. Michael was a Rhodes Scholar and plays the ukulele badly. He’s Australian, and lives in Toronto, Canada Check out Michael @mbs_works Website - https://www.mbs.works/ How To Begin Book - https://geni.us/TRAu Resources - https://howtobegin.com/help Bonuses - https://howtobegin.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mbs_works/ Resources Jacqueline Novogratz TED - https://youtu.be/w7yXjle9XAk Timestamps 00:00 - Start 2:50 - We unlock our greatness by working on the hard stuff 4:20 - The problem with S.M.A.R.T. goals 9:36 - Find a worthy goal 10:08 - 3 elements of a worthy goal 15:00 - The best combination of thrilling, important, and daunting 17:12 - where to look for your worthy goal 24:30 - write a crappy first draft of your worthy goal 29:12 - testing your first draft of your goal 30:00 - Spouse-ish Test 33:45 - FOSO Test 35:45 - Goldilocks Test 39:00 - Write an active 2nd draft 44:10 - The Voting Test 47:15 - Claim Your Goal === 👉Subscribe: https://goo.gl/F2AEbk 👉See our Academy Channel: https://goo.gl/vB9zoP 🎙 Futur Podcast: https://thefutur.com/podcast/ ✍️ Futur Blog: https://thefutur.com/blog/ — Love the content?
