1 小时 10 分钟So I have a question for you.
What if this was the year you actually did the thing that you have dreamed of doing, the thing that's been in the back of your mind for months or years, maybe even decades?
The thing that, when you think about it, your whole body responds, exhilarated in part, energized.
You can feel it in your heart.
And if you're being honest, maybe along with that tingling of excitement, there's even a touch of fear and doubt.
Still, it's the thing that safe bet you have wondered if it's even possible, or more accurately, if it's possible for you for so long without ever really even trying.
The thing that maybe you tucked away but these last few years have reminded you life is uncertain, sometimes fleeting, were made no promises of a tomorrow or the next day.
And if you could only figure out how you'd want that thing to be real, to happen, maybe even at a level that changes your life, not someday, but now.
So what if this was the year you finally figured out how to turn it from a dream or a fantasy or a vision or fleeting hope into something real, something manifest, something lived and accomplished and tangible, not for anyone else, or because it's part of some societal checklist or a need that you've got to meet for anyone else's demands or expectations, but simply because it matters to you.
It's about the feeling of not having just said yes to the possibility of it finally happening, but also having committed yourself to it, finding a way through any challenge that comes your way, including your own internal chatter and self doubt.
And then being able to not just revel in the joy of turning a goal, a dream, a vision, into something real, but also being able to look back and know, even if you never utter it out loud, to another human being.
I did that.
Well, what if this was the year, and now was the time to begin?
How would that feel to you?
If it's even remotely inspiring or appealing and motivating?
This very special episode is for you, if you're ready.
But if you're not even sure where to begin, this episode is for you.
It's the first in our January Kickstart, your life series, and the focus is on a very powerful framework that I have been developing and testing, using and refining for years that I call success scaffolding.
Now, this framework has been the sort of secret superstructure and motivating force between so many things that I have done from conceiving, launching, building companies, two podcasts that have reached tens of millions, writing four books, learning to build a guitar to simpler yet deeply meaningful accomplishments, like rewiring my brain to be more genuinely and consistently present in the lives of those that I love.
Success scaffolding has been the silent, often hidden, yet critical infrastructure for all of it.
