to remove the word goal from their vocabulary. Since your subconscious com-
puter (your subconscious mind) will only produce exactly what you tell it
to, aiming for a goal is very different than executing a plan. You don’t need to
know every step to start. Whatever you envision right now, whatever you
aspire to in this moment, you already have some of the elements in hand. Take
the first step, and the next step will become clear.

Put your vision on paper. Grab a pen and piece of paper and describe
your perfect working day, from the moment you wake up to the moment you
go to sleep. With whom do you interact? Who is on your team? How much

of anything can be overwhelming, so when you feel a task is too big,
ask yourself this question. Post it near your workspace, so you can
refer to it whenever you feel stuck.

“What is powerful, productive, positive, and leads me
toward what I am working on? Do it now!”

• Action versus production quotas . In the beginning of any game, it’s
important to set yourself up to win. List what you will do, instead of
what you will accomplish. Calling 10 potential customers in one hour
is an action quota, closing three new sales is a production quota. You
don’t need to lose 10 pounds, you need to get to the gym every day.
The fat comes off when you take action. Taking consistent, powerful,
