"All men's natures are alike. It's their habits that carry them far apart." ~Confucius
Today's Frequently Asked Friday throws it back to the basics when discussing a fundamental part of the Habit Factor's methodology: What is Habit Alignment?
At its simplest, Habit Alignment is the realization that identifying the core, recurring behaviors -- the positive habits -- that support your goal is the quickest way to achieve that goal.
When it comes to goal achievement, The Habit Factor says focus LESS on the To-Do list and focus MORE on the habits that will help you achieve your goal.
Habit Alignment identifies the few, most important behaviors to intentionally craft into habits to support your goal. Want to write a book? What are the habits that will support this goal? (Hint: It's not just about writing, it's about overall wellness.)
It's all reinforced by the process of tracking! PARR: Plan, Act, Record, Reassess.
When you consider habit alignment, the big "a ha moment" is the recognition that our goal requires ENERGY. We are energy. In order to achieve our goal we must use the most efficient form of behavior energy...habit!
Listen in to hear about how Habit is the most efficient use of our behavior energy and how establishing the core, recurring, habits that support our goal will power us toward that goal's achievement.

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
~Aristotle
This Wednesday we feature a special Mind Bullet episode that explores a topic that has fascinated some of the greatest minds of all time: Virtue. But this isn't about being "virtuous" or better than other people.
Throwing it way back, 2,000 years ago the Stoics came to the conclusion that the development of one's virtue -- one's self -- is the highest good.
Taking it from another angle, where does a virtue come from? As the Aristotle quote above teaches, virtue is a habit.
No discussion of virtue is complete without talking about Ben Franklin, whose famed quest to develop and habitualize virtues led him to say, "I hope, therefore, that my descendants will follow
this example and reap the benefits.” The most rewarding exercise in his life was crafting and tracking habits to form the virtues he wanted to embody!
Virtue is crafted via habit!
Listen in for inspiration on becoming the person you want to be and using HABIT and PARR to craft the virtues you long to embody.
Enjoy the episode!

"Anyone can do it.” ~Bob (AKA: The Rock)
A simple and powerful Mind Bullet begins our week: Anyone Can Do It!
Taking inspiration from The Rock and Kevin Hart's comedy "Central Intelligence," we examine a throwaway line from The Rock's character, Bob Stone.
Kevin Hart's character, Calvin Joyner, is flabbergasted by Bob's transformation from overweight high schooler to muscular and fit adult. "How did you do it?" Calvin asks. Modestly, Bob says it really wasn't much — he just did one thing: Work out six hours a day for 20 years. "Anyone can do it," he adds.
Yes, anyone COULD do it. Anyone CAN do it. But does anyone actually do it?
Remember, if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you. And the "it" is highly personal. Anyone CAN challenge themselves, everyone COULD complete their challenge, but DO we?
Listen in for inspiration on identifying what YOUR next challenge is, whether it's physical, mental, or social, and how The Habit Factor and PARR can turn you into someone who DID IT!
Enjoy the episode!

"Habit: A shackle for the free." ~Ambrose Bierce
On a special Frequently Asked Friday (recorded outside), we ponder a question essential to life: What binds you?
Sitting outside at a bayside park soaking in the sunshine, pondering the idea of what truly binds us— what holds us back, MG looked down to see a small metal clamp, like a hiker's clamp. Foreshadowing: It is a binding tool, a shackle!
Consider what it is that really holds us back? Is it ourselves? Or, is it the force of habit— our repetitive thought and behavior habits?
The interesting thing is with some awareness and intention we are FREE to choose new, positive habits and use the very same force (habit) that binds us to set us free!
By directing the force of habit, we can set our sails and guide us toward our goals and a positive future.
Listen in to hear about a unique, insightful experience that crystallizes the idea of being bound by our habits.
Enjoy the episode!

"If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you."
On this special Mind Bullet Wednesday episode of Habits2Goals, we ponder the idea of challenge and change.
Taking inspiration from the quote above, MG shares his own new challenge journey and how it is bringing forth change in his life.
Ending a mediation one day in early January, he found himself in need of a new physical challenge, and it came to him from out of the blue: "You're going to do 15 burpees a day for the month of January." (What's a burpee, you ask? Check this out! And (it goes w/out saying) don't try any new exercises without talking to your doctor!)
Remember, "All life is an experiment." This experiment quickly grew and changed, offering incredible insights and changes. After all, if we don't create our own challenges, life will do it for us!
Listen in to hear more about this new physical challenge and how it is yielding both physical and mental benefits -- and how Habit and PARR come into play.
Enjoy the episode!

"If one advances confidently in the direction of [their] dreams, and endeavors to live the life which [they have] imagined, [they] will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." -Henry David Thoreau
We start the week with a magnificent Mind Bullet Monday that addresses a topic we've never fully explored: idealization.
What does idealization mean to you? The pursuit of a goal is idealization in action!
In the process of pursuing our ideals and goals CONFIDENTLY, we find things falling into place in the present.
People all too often build boundaries to idealization. It's hard to think about ideals in the midst of real-life relationship, career or financial problems. But in fact idealization is the only way to begin the quest for something better.
Listen in for more on how idealization can help improve each category in your life (mind, body, spirit, social) and how taking the time intentionally to create ideals can become a moving target of success.
Enjoy the episode!

"The bend in the road is not the end in the road unless you fail to make the turn.”
This Frequently Asked Friday takes it back to the basics: What are the common mistakes people make when going after their goals?
Behold the Dirty Dozen — perhaps the top 12 mistakes we make when it comes to goal-setting.
What happens when we set goals and don't achieve them? We're less likely to set more goals! Conversely, when we set goals and DO achieve them, we are much more likely to go out and set and achieve even more goals!
So it's critical to set yourself up for success and avoid some common mistakes.
From talking about your goals, relying on a to-do list, and focusing on the outcome, to NOT anticipating setbacks — and much more — listen in for tips on an optimum environment for goal achievement, and how aligning Habits via PARR will help.
Enjoy the episode!

"I don't count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count." ~ Muhammad Ali
This special Mind Bullet Wednesday episode discusses a simple yet powerful concept: Counting. Mentally or physically fatigued? Talk yourself into a little bit more.
It may not seem like a BIG idea, but counting is a an under rated tool that can yield huge benefits and help you breakthrough, both physically and mentally.
At the gym, when you're trying to talk yourself into another set, you can tell yourself "just do three more," or "just do five more." And when you reach that small goal you can sell yourself on more and more. We often sell ourselves way short of what we're capable of!
It's not just a tool for exercise; it's a helpful as a productivity method. Challenge yourself to focus on one task for 30 minutes, distraction-free. Can you do 10 more minutes? 20?
Counting helps you not just raise the bar; it helps you get started and pushes you into your second (or third, or eighth) wind!
Listen in for more on how counting can help you push through both physically and mentally and how it's all ingrained in the Habit Factor methodology and PARR!
Enjoy!

"Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
Today's Monday Mind Bullet touches upon a fascinating topic, placing attention upon the concept of being intentional.
What is intention? In a Season 3 episode entitled Intention, we spoke at length about the topic, discussing in depth Wayne Dyer's great book The Power of Intention where he spells out the "seven faces of intention."
In our interview with Drew Goodmanson, he discussed the concept of "success" something he attributes to becoming very intentional, putting in the time necessary to identify and plan — to write out specific goals about who he is going to become.
How intentional are you when it comes to your aspirations? Not just making a New Year's goal, but taking the time to look at your mind, body, spiritual and social realms to boost your wellness?
Listen in for more on how success is no accident, how intention helps create our reality, and how HABIT and PARR can come together to put your intentions into action.
Enjoy the episode!

What is the greatest gift you can give your loved ones? Is it money? A house? Love? This Fantastic Frequently asked Friday proposes a different angle: Perhaps the greatest gift you can give anybody is YOUR own personal development.
When YOU are stronger and better — spiritually, mentally and physically — you not only gives your loved ones a great gift, but you take the first step toward improving the world. Nobody improves the world without first improving themselves!
If you're attacking life and your own personal development, taking a cue from Emerson and his adage that "all life is an experiment," then you are bound to grow and change, becoming a better you each day.
Listen for advice on giving your loved ones the greatest gift and attacking life as an experiment -- with the help of Habit Factor and PARR!

"Everything is a trick to keep you from focusing on the real issue, which is you! I would suggest the listeners need to start a revolution of one." ~Drew Goodmanson
Habits2Goals is proud to present a conversation with entrepreneur extraordinaire Drew Goodmanson. A lifelong entrepreneur, Drew has built and sold multiple companies and is a highly sought-after executive coach, leader and strategic advisor.
Fresh out of college and into his first cubicle-based job, it took Drew about six months to realize he was an entrepreneur at heart. Taking a leap of faith, Drew started his own business — a staffing and recruiting company that soon counted Amazon.com as a client.
Over the next two decades Drew went on to start and sell multiple businesses and build one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the U.S.
Today Drew is focused on helping entrepreneurs benefit from his hard-won wisdom, and experience exponentially more value when they sell their companies.
Tune in for a fascinating discussion of not just entrepreneurship and business strategy, but becoming the best version of yourself and using the gifts you've been given to find true success.
Enjoy the episode!

"Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside themselves was superior to circumstance.” ~Bruce Barton
Today's Monday Mind Bullet is rooted upon the great quote above: When you think about it, some of the greatest achievers have burst through circumstances and struggles to attain unlikely success.
Think Steve Jobs and his "reality distortion field." When told his vision was impossible, he insisted and created the future of communication. He wouldn't take no for an answer.
Where there's a will, there's a way (if you will)!
We're all going through the grind, fighting our battles, trying to handle the circumstances life throws at us. Dig deep inside and find the strength to push through!
Listen in for more on why "you got this." You are resourceful enough -- if you believe you are -- to find a way to be superior to whatever circumstance you face.

You're down. You're dejected. Things need to turn around for you. This Frequently Asked Friday brings us back to the beginning with a simple question: Where do I begin?
First, it's important to note, as you're picking yourself up, that there is a distinction between failing (the activity) and knowing that YOU, the person, are certainly not a failure.
Failure, as we've noted in the past, is stepping stone along the path that we all go through. As long as they're non-lethal, failures are a necessary and important step on your path toward becoming your best self.
So where do we start? Recalling Covey's adage "Begin with the end in mind," we must find clarity. Where is it you're trying to go? What is it that you're trying to accomplish? Do you believe IT is possible?
Listen in for more about digging yourself out of a hole, finding your own success, gaining clarity about your goals, and taking action via the mechanics of HABIT -- which can help you achieve anything you conceive!
Enjoy the episode!

"In life, goals are not optional." ~Grunburg
"Action is the real measure of intelligence." ~Napoleon Hill
This special Mind Bullet Wednesday edition brings us a fascinating follow-up to our Alex Bates interview on artificial intelligence: In order to develop artificial intelligence, the programmer MUST begin with a GOAL. Therefore, does it not stand to reason as intelligent beings, we MUST have goals.
To put it another way: If artificial intelligence is "Goal directed behavior." What is "real" intelligence?
Ultimately, whether we want to admit it or not, REAL intelligence is the establishment of, and pursuit (action) of goals.
The natural follow-up question is, "How do I set goals?" While "S.M.A.R.T." Goals have been a favorite methodology since the 80's it never accounted for the force HABIT plays in goal achievement! The Habit Factor continues to teach and preach that when positive habits are aligned with your goals, you are on the fastest most efficient path to achieve your goals.
To be intelligent then is to demonstrate that you are working your way toward a goal— "goal-directed behavior"! Thus, in life, goals are truly NOT optional particularly if you want to be considered intelligent!
Listen in for more on how intelligence -- just like artificial intelligence -- demands an objective, and how the Habit Factor methodology can guide you!
Enjoy!

"Repeatedly, psychology tests have proven that telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen.” ~Derek Sivers
When it comes to goal achievement, lots of accountability advice urges you to TALK about your goals and share your progress with others. The idea is that this will keep you on track.

Is there any value to negative emotions? Well, it may depend on the specific negative emotion.
In truth, there IS value to many negative emotions; they serve a purpose. Is fear beneficial? It certainly can be — it can even be a motivator and even a lifesaver — as long as it doesn't prevent you from moving forward, growing and challenging yourself.
As the Carl Jung quote above explains, within certain emotions, such as anger and irritation, we can turn inward and grow in our own emotional intelligence. We can use these emotions to grow ourselves -- as long as we don't dwell in the negative space.
But it's important to make it a HABIT to constantly be aware of our emotions and shine the spotlight on ourselves.
Listen in for insight into turning negative feelings into emotional positives.
Enjoy the episode!

"The next wave of AI will be able to augment people to become superhuman. Solutions will be at the ready for nearly all problems facing humanity." ~Alex Bates
Habits2Goals presents a powerful interview with Alex Bates, a phenomenal entrepreneur, inventor and bestselling author of Augmented Mind: AI Superhumans and the Next Economic Revolution.
When Alex was growing up in Portland, battling for computer time with his siblings, he developed an obsession with the emerging Internet and artificial neural networks.
Alex, fascinated by entrepreneurship, took his interest in AI and machine learning and in 2006 founded Mtelligence to harness the deluge of sensor data in the industrial IoT with the mission of creating a "world that doesn't break down."
After spending a decade on the front lines of the AI revolution, Alex discovered the one key ingredient that was missing from mainstream AI research — humans!
His new book explains how augmenting humans, combining human intuition and artificial intelligence, will herald an unprecedented era of productivity and financial success.
Listen in for an absolutely fascinating discussion of how human-centered AI will help us solve the biggest problems facing humanity while also protecting us from rogue or weaponized AI systems.
Enjoy the show!

"It takes the same energy to think small as it does to think big. So dream big and think bigger.” ~ Daymond John
This Mind Bullet Monday was inspired by the awesome movie Bohemian Rhapsody, which is gaining accolades for its lead actor and compelling story of Freddy Mercury and Queen's rise to success.
There are a few nuggets of wisdom in this movie that we can all keep in mind while chasing our goals and dreams, overlaying some themes from the movie onto our own lives.
The first "big idea" is to think BIGGER. At one point, Freddy prods his bandmates to see themselves as more than just a popular touring band and to actually record an album -- and aim to be legendary!
Where can you think big strategically?
The next big idea is to "synthesize." In the movie, Freddy indulges his creative instinct to blend opera with rock. Where can WE use this synthetic creativity in our lives?
Listen in to for more personal development mind bullets from Bohemian Rhapsody and see how you can apply these lessons to your life.
Enjoy the episode!

What are Warren Buffett's criteria for hiring employees?
Buffett is one of the wealthiest men in the world who possesses incredible insight into investing and business. What does it take to get hired by him? What he says ought to matter!
First, a potential employee must be curious -- someone who is a perpetual student and constant learner. Knowledge is fluid and curiosity is so important because it allows us to connect the dots between disciplines.
Trait number 2? Coachability! Learning isn't enough if you aren't coachable. Managers today are coaches more than anything, and the greatest coaches reinforce the good and positively redirect what needs tweaking.
Trait number three: Character (ethics). The first two don't matter a whole lot with no ethics behind them!
Listen in for a fun and fascinating look at one brilliant man's insight into what makes a valuable contributor.
Enjoy the episode!

"Self control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power." ~James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
On this doozy of a Wednesday Mind Bullet Habits2Goals episode, we meditate upon these James Allen words: "Self control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power."
Giving this great wisdom The Habit Factor spin, we take a look at the first idea, "Self control is strength." Discipline and self control are HABITS and can be developed. This is where strength originates, because if we can't control ourselves, we have nothing upon which to build our own strength.
When we examine "Right thought is mastery," via the prism of Habit Factor and PARR, we see that challenging our thinking is essential to putting ourselves in a positive head space.
Can you kill the negative thought patterns and emotions that cripple you? Listen in for more insight into gaining true power and emotional poise -- and how HabitStrength puts us in control!
Enjoy!

"Keep looking up. That's the secret of life." ~Snoopy
It's a true Mind-Bullet Monday as we take on this little nugget of wisdom that came out of the blue: Look up! Look at the sky, the treetops, the clouds more often!
Our vision tends toward eye level at best, and ground level at worst. But looking up immediately changes your perspective. You get a more panoramic view — in more ways than one.
When we're beaten down by life's challenges, our gaze tends to lower. But looking up gives us a new perspective, according to research, and triggers other parts of the brain as well as changing your thinking patterns and mood
Are YOU looking up? You may be surprised by what happens next!
Listen in for more on pausing, looking up, and changing your perspective -- and see how it affects your world!
Enjoy the episode!

"Don't just do something — sit there."
As we settle into our brand-new 2019, this Frequently Asked Friday episode addresses what we gleaned from last year: What lessons have we learned from 2018?
Lesson number one: The FUNDAMENTALS. Take a look at the things we do every day. Are we doing them right? Never be afraid to backtrack and hone, strengthen and improve the fundamentals -- even breathing!
MG's Lesson number two: MEDITATION. After years of trying to be expedient and efficient with meditation, a talk with Fred Gratzon, author of The Lazy Way to Success, brought new insight into the power of not trying so hard. Sometimes pulling back is the lesson.
What gifts and lessons did 2018 bring to you? Listen in for more lessons from last year, and learn how living life like an experiment may bring the biggest rewards in 2019.
Enjoy the episode!

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.” ~Abraham Lincoln
On this Wednesday Mind Bullet episode, we wish our listeners a Happy New Year and share five ways to make sure YOUR resolutions are successful!
Whatever we RESOLVE to do (these are, after all, resolutions), it is our job to set our goals. No one else is going to set our goals for us! What does your heart desire?
If we begin with the end in mind, as the late, great Dr. Stephen Covey advises in his 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, we can ask ourselves: If I were to die tomorrow, what experience would I most regret not having?
You may want to reduce debt, run with the bulls, lose weight — this exercise unveils your DESIRE.
What comes after DESIRE? Listen in for the rest of the key ingredients that will make your goals a reality--whether it takes one year or 10!
Enjoy the episode!
