What You’ll Learn in This Episode

1. What are Rocks?

   • Your top four priorities for the year—the big, non-negotiable goals that go into your jar first.

2. 3 Key Strategies for Crushing Your Rocks:

   • Visibility:

     • Keep your goals front and center.
     • Examples: Screen savers, desktop reminders, or even framing them like Kevin did.

   • Scheduling:

     • Plan time for your rocks in advance.
     • Example: A client scheduled four trips to visit her parents a year ahead to stay on track.

   • Tracking:

     • Measure your progress regularly.
     • Tools: Google tasks, habit trackers, or gamified apps to track lead indicators.

3. The Power of Lead Indicators:

   • Focus on actions you control (e.g., working out daily instead of focusing solely on weight loss).
   • This shift helps maintain motivation and ensure success.

4. Real Stories from Real People:

   • Hear about clients who overcame challenges—injuries, ADHD, anxiety—to crush their rocks.

5. Why Goal Setting Isn’t Just for “Other People”:

   • Stop giving yourself a pass to be ordinary. Extraordinary results are within your reach, even amidst life’s chaos.

 Quotes:

• "We manage what we measure. If you want better results, measure more often."
• "Don’t lose sight of your rocks. They’re what keep you focused through joy, heartache, and distractions."
• "Stop thinking it’s easier for ‘other people.’ Goal setting is for everyone who’s ready to take control of their life."

Actionable Takeaways:

• Write down your top four rocks for next year.
• Make your rocks visible—turn them into reminders you see every day.
• Schedule time for your rocks in advance and protect that time like a meeting with your future self.
• Track your lead indicators to focus on behaviors you can control.
