Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, what's up? Fam Zaden Cruz here, your friendly neighborhood
height man and resident truth teller, back with another episode
of success Playbook. You know the drill. We're diving deep
into that messy, beautiful thing called life, one hot take
at a time, and today we're tackling something that's both
(00:21):
universal and terrifyingly important. Setting goals. Ever, feel like you're
just drifting through life, scrolling on tik tok with no
real direction. You know that feeling when your insta fee
is filled with people crushing it while you're over here
struggling to keep up with laundry. Yeah, me too. But
(00:43):
guess what, it doesn't have to be this way. We
can rewrite the script. This ain't about becoming some overnight
success story, fam. This is about taking control, setting clear
goals that actually excite you, and creating a freaking roadmap
to get there. Let's break it down into five key
(01:04):
takeaways that will rock your world. One. Ditch the vague
af ambitions. Stop with the one day I'll be rich nonsense.
It's like saying one day I'll eat a unicorn. Come on,
be specific, even if it feels kind of cringey at first.
Want to become a YouTube star. Great, how many subscribers
(01:27):
do you want? What kind of content are we talking about?
Make it real, make it measurable, Make it something that
makes your brain go, Okay, this is actually doable. Two
Break it down, baby. Think of your big goal as
that epic mountain you gotta climb. Overwhelmed, Yeah, me too,
(01:48):
But here's the hack. Break that mountain into smaller, conquerable peaks.
Each peak is a mini goal, something manageable and satisfying.
To achieve boom, you're suddenly not staring at everst but
a series of achievable challenges. Three. Embrace the power of why.
(02:09):
Knowing your why is like having that extra shot of
espresso when you need it most. It keeps you going
even when things get tough. Ask yourself what truly drives you?
Why does this goal matter to you on a deeper level,
Write it down, memorize it, tattoo it on your forehead
if you must. Four. Four make a plan that doesn't suck.
(02:33):
No more procrastination parties. Get organized, schedule those tasks, and
treat your goals like the VIPs they are. Use tools
that actually work for you, whether it's a bullet journal,
a killer app or even just sticky notes all over
your mirror. Don't judge. Five. Celebrate the wins, no matter
(02:53):
how small. You crushed a tiny task. High five, you
stayed focused for an hour, that's fire. Celebrate those little
victories because they add up. Building momentum is everything. Now
let's talk about someone who absolutely embodies these principles. Emma Chamberlain.
(03:16):
Remember that girl who started out making relatable vlogs on YouTube,
and now she's a multi million dollar empire with her
own coffee brand and a loyal fan base. She didn't
get there by wishing on a unicorn. This queen started small,
posting those authentic, raw videos about the ups and downs
of being a teenager. She was honest, funny, relatable, like
(03:42):
that friend you could always count on for a good
laugh and some serious life advice. But she wasn't just
content with making videos. She knew what she wanted to
build a brand, connect with her audience, and make a
real impact. So she hustled. She put out consistent content,
experimented with different formats, learn from her mistakes, and never
(04:05):
stopped evolving. She didn't shy away from the haters or
the doubters, or she embraced them, turned those comments into fuel,
and prove that authenticity is the ultimate currency. And now
she's not just a YouTuber, She's a media mogul who
(04:26):
shows us all what it means to build something real,
something meaningful, starting from scratch. So remember this setting goals
isn't about becoming some overnight success story. It's about taking control,
breaking things down, knowing your why, and celebrating every win
along the way. You've got this, hit me up on Instagram,
(04:50):
tag that episode in a TikTok. Let's keep the conversation going,
and don't forget to follow, rate and share the podcast
like your future self depends on it, because let's be real,
fam it kinda does peace out. This podcast is created
