Is celebrating wins part of your yearly goal-setting process?

If you’re like most people, that answer is NO. If that’s the case, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity to set more informed goals that are aligned with the best version of you.

Because I’m aware that most high achievers aren’t celebrating their wins regularly, in today’s 5 Minute Drill, we’re going to talk about this overlooked strategy when it comes to goal-setting, strategic planning, and human performance. I’m determined to help you close out 2024 strong! I’m watching so many high-capacity, high-powered athletes, executives, and leaders miss this and it’s causing them to leave so much more fuel and ammo and energy on the table. So, instead of closing out this year helping you set goals, I’m going to do you one better - I’m going to share the strategy that will help you enter 2025 with energy, confidence, and a lot more clarity as to what goals to even set for this next year. So, get ready to lock in to today’s Drill!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• A 3-step process designed to keep you anchored in positivity and progress.
• What the neuroscience reveals about acknowledging our accomplishments.
• What the Bible says about emphasizing gratitude, joy, and community.

“That won’t ever happen to me.”

Ever catch yourself saying that? You know, you hear a news story about the smash-and-grab in a city parking lot…or the car following a lady home from her grocery store trip…or the drunk dude who just randomly landed a punch on an innocent pedestrian, sending him to the hospital with a serious head injury…

“Nah, that won’t ever happen to me. My shopping areas have great security…I live in a safe area…I’m not out late at night…”

But, what if you’re wrong? I mean, athletes have beaten the odds. Teams have beaten the odds. WEATHER has beaten the odds. Last time I checked, criminals can beat the odds, too.

This is why I brought back Jonathan Burke to my show - one of the top self-defense and close quarters combat experts on the planet. In one of my BEST episodes of the year, Jon and I tackle one of the most overlooked and undervalued topics around human performance today. If you care about keeping yourself and your loved ones safe, ESPECIALLY during the holidays, then lock in to today’s episode. And, then…
