“The thing that was most important was how I approached it psychologically… And I didn't just kind of achieve those things. I blew them out of the water.”—Jon Rankin
When placed together, reflection and conversation have an uncanny way of bringing about clarity and NEW lessons learned.
After listening to Jon and Bryan discuss goal-setting, you’ll be compelled to view your goal-setting strategies through a different filter.
(2:30) The elephant in the room and skating competitions…
(6:51) Two types of goals…
(9:43) “Here's the fundamental thing that everybody needs to remember and understand if you're going to set a goal. The only reason to set a goal is to motivate you to achieve it.”
(11:53) So what’s a norm-referenced goal versus a self-referenced goal?
(13:20) Why do most people set norm-referenced goals?
(15:32) Breaking free of mindsets can mean success…
(17:19) Context versus comparing…
(21:28) “The reality is the whole time what was really driving them was the self-referenced goals.”
(22:42) There are positives to norm-referenced goals…
(25:06) Turning the focus to self-referenced goals…
(26:29) How self-referenced goals align with the phrase, “Go Be More…”

(33:25) A secret to Jon’s success and a powerful statement from Scott Abbott…
(35:46) “There's a common theme, which is the more you're focused on the self-referenced work, the more likely you are to achieve the norm-referenced success.”
(38:25) Falling is part of the process and there’s value in the transferable aspect of self-referenced goals…
(41:41) “If you’re consistent and you're doing the right things you create this really positive feedback loop, boom, and make a big leap.”

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
