Playing it safe...


“We are kept from our goal not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal.”

This quote is probably from some great thinker, but I know of it through a subscriber who responded to yesterday's email.

They sent me their thoughts and questions around staying the course and building towards one big thing instead of pursuing multiple smaller (and often safer) bets.

We ended on the thought that a lot of the time, it's all about belief.

Believing in what you're working on enough to feel confident saying no to distractions that might look good, but ultimately don't serve your end goal and desire.

He then hit me with that quote which I think sums up most people's issue (my own included) perfectly.

We all tend to settle for the easy to achieve goals, when we're capable of so much more.

The issue is not in our ability, but in actually planning out a route to those bigger goals, and believing in ourselves to the point that we actually - really - pursue them.

So, here's my question to you.

2025 is just a few days away.

You should now be taking stock of what you achieved in 2024 and mapping out what you want to achieve in 2025.

I want to know if you're...

...Setting goals that excite (and maybe scare) you...

... or settling for smaller goals you're comfortable achieving?

Are you...

... Pushing yourself to new levels in 2025 and working towards that next big milestone...

... or planning to simply maintain the staus quo of your life?

I dunno about you, but I'm planning out what could be my best year ever in 2025.

I've been working with the people in GM+ to build a simple sheet to help keep us all motivated, aligned, and achieving in 2025.

And I wanted to extend the invitation to join us in planning our best ever years to you.

Yo! I'm taking a little break from emailing from tomorrow thanks to Christmas. If you're also celebrating, I hope you have a good one. But, before I go, I wanted to ask a Q that's heled me analyse what I'm doing and, more importantly, what I will be doing in 2026. That question is... "Are you aiming high enough or thinking big enough?" Cause I know I haven't. 2025 has been a hard year for so many people running businesses. Sales are down. Resistance is up. Stress is higher than ever before....

This might be a long one. A little background. A couple of months back, I wanted to see if I could move some ad spend over to Google properties. A few reasons... Google has a...
