Michael Bungay Stanier is the founder of Box of Crayons and author of The Coaching Habit who also recently published his latest book called How to Begin: Start Doing Something That Matters. He discusses his process in writing this book and discovering that a worthy goal has three characteristics; it is thrilling, important, and daunting. Michael shares his insights on the steps to finding your worthy goal and challenging yourself to unlock your greatness. 

HIGHLIGHTS

A worthy goal is thrilling, important, and daunting

Draft your goals: Name the prizes and punishments

Change: Fix what's broken or amplify what's working?

Get motivation by understanding your worthy goal

 
QUOTES
Michael: "We unlock our greatness by working on the hard things. It's not by winning. It's by working on the hard things. And so, the daunting is the work that's needed where you step out your edge and you're like, look, I'm pretty accomplished and I'm okay with my talents, and I know some stuff, but this is making me sweat a little bit."
Michael: "It's better when you draft it. The first draft is not going to be as good as the second draft is not going to be as good as the third draft. Don't get seduced into thinking your first goal is the real goal."
Michael: "If your brain spends too much time focused just on the outcome, it's actually demotivating because your brain is just not that good at telling the difference between what's happening and what you're imagining is happening. So if you spend your whole time visualizing hitting your quota or buying your house or whatever, at a certain point your brain goes, well, done. It feels like you've actually got this and you lose some of your motivation. It's bizarre but powerful."
