Inside Episode 044: You have to set bigger goals. Once you’ve set them, you have to devise a plan on how to achieve them. It isn’t enough to plan. You and your team have to execute on that goal and it needs to be executed on as a single, cohesive unit.



Key Takeaways

You have two choices. Believe in you goals or fear your goals.
Your bigger goals should be ambitious and scare you a little bit.
Don’t let goals sit in the idea stage. Execute on them. It’s not enough to just talk about it.
Learn how to reverse engineer your goals.
Reverse engineering is the process of building the goal backwards to see the steps it would take to get there.
When your team meets in person, the relationships should elevate.
Meeting in person allows conversations and ideation to continue. Online discussions start and end when the connection is started and then shut down. In-person allows for spontaneity of ideas and creativity.
Your team should meet at least once a year to create these bonds and experiences.
