This is you in 10 Years, and it’s completely insane
Here’s something to consider today…if anyone says to you that such and such thing is more than 10 years away, what they’re really saying is they don’t even know if that thing is possible.
“Flying cars are still more than 10 years away.”
Translation: Flying cars may never happen.
If any of your dreams are more than 10 years out, what you’re really saying is YOU don’t know if it’s possible.
Shorten the time cycle.
- Don’t make any goal longer than 10 years.
- Make your big goal for 90 days, 12 months, 3 years, or at most 5 years.
- Anything beyond 5 years and you’re getting too distant.
Life is too short for that.
Consider that even John F. Kennedy spoke in 1961 and told the nation that he was committed to landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade.
By 1969 they did it.
This just goes to show that WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE, you can achieve within a decade as long as you put enough energy, focus, and actions towards it.
I put together the world’s most popular business conference in less than 4 years.
I literally had the idea of a making a business conference in late 2016 that would combine great speakers and content with A-list entertainment and networking. Within 3 months, by March of 2017, we did our first conference.
Since then we’ve done one annually while expanding and improving upon it. This past weekend I hosted UFC’s Dana White, boxer Floyd Mayweather, comedian Kevin Hart, actor John Travolta, NBA legend Magic Johnson + a host of other world-class speakers at the 10X Growth Conference — a culmination of a dream I had less than 4 years ago.
Going back to JFK, here’s what he said in his famous speech in 1961:
“I believe we possess all the resources and talents necessary. But the facts of the matter are that we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule, or managed our resources and our time so as to insure their fulfillment.”
JFK also said:
“There is no sense in agreeing or desiring that the United States take an affirmative position in outer space, unless we are prepared to do the work and bear the burdens to make it successful.
Don’t be making wild goals without commitment, you’ll give up on them quickly when difficulties come.
In the 1960s there was the space race.
What are you racing towards in the 2020s?
Forget about the 2030s, what are you going to do THIS DECADE?
Make your goals HUGE, and commit to them now.
Dreams do happen — but you must move towards them.
Be Great,
Grant
