This change makes Crazy Progress Inevitable...

The Focus Filter...

The average person 

makes 35,000 continuous and unconscious decisions 

every single day…

Why is this important?

Let’s find out together…

For example, 

split them in half…

Let's say half of those daily decisions are unconscious

and the other half are conscious…

That’s 17,500 Conscious decisions, you make every day 

Now take just 500 of those per day 

that you actually think about.

You ask yourself why you are going to do one thing instead of another.

In those moments of thought 

for just 500 of the 35,000 decisions you make.

What if you ask yourself 

Is this getting me closer to my goal?

This could be absolutely anything

Hit 10k per month,

Gain 100k followers on Instagram

Or 

Gain 20 pounds of lean muscle mass. 

Whatever it may be, 

If you filter that fraction of decisions you make daily 

Through your goal 

Just stop and think how much closer you could be. 

Let's take the Gaining muscle example, 

If you want to gain muscle 

You are going to come across decisions you have to make that want to set you back or even deter you from your goal. 

Like having a cheat day, 

Going out with friends and getting messed up 

Or 

Staying up all night gaming deprives you of your needed sleep for recovery. 

But here’s the thing

The goal doesn’t care

And if you keep making those decisions  

You’re going to get further and further away from that goal. 

So 

This is what I want you to do 

Get a piece of paper 

And write 

“Is this getting me closer to (Insert Your Goal)?”

Then put that paper on your wall, 

your bed head 

or even on your ceiling so that when you wake up that’s the first thing you see. 

Put it where you have no choice but to look at it every day 

Make that sentence the home page of your phone and computer

Do whatever it takes for you to consistently read that question.

Once you do 

you’ll start to have that question as a filter in your brain.

You’ll start to automatically 

Turn down that cheat meal, 

not go out with your friends and poison yourself

And when you get ready for the next gaming session 

You might rethink it.

This perspective change is absolutely amazing 

Once you’re pointed and focused 

on one direction 

one goal 

one dream. 

That’s when you’ll start to see compounding progress

But don’t take it from me 

Take it from the richest man in the world 

Elon Musk 

When someone comes up with another idea for him 

he asks 

“Is this getting us closer to Mars”

If not, he says no 

And doesn’t do it. 

If it has the potential to get him closer to Mars 

He does it. 

It’s that simple 

So 

If there’s one takeaway from this 

It’s that being ultra clear on the one Goal you want to achieve

And 

Make that the filter for all your actions. 

Take the right actions every single day to get there as fast as humanly possible.

Now go out 

Get after it 

And go achieve greatness.
