highlights of the last 12 years (in 5 sentences)

this is the power of proper goal-setting when linked with ruthless execution

In 2013, I backpacked for 6 months.

In 2015, I lost a lot of weight.

In 2016, I went to Sydney to work for a tech company.

In 2017, I launched my business.

In 2021, I finished a marathon.

That’s some of the highlights of the last 12 years.

I’m not writing this to brag.

I’m showing you the power of proper goal-setting when linked with ruthless execution.

It doesn't matter if the goals are big or small.

Only you know that.

You are the master of your destiny.

What matters is setting up a plan to achieve them, and then following through by taking consistent action. When you do that, you can accomplish almost anything.

You become unstoppable.

And—perhaps more importantly—you become “someone who does what they say”.

These highlights—along with many others—were only possible because I made a plan.

I chose a goal and a plan to reach it.

And if I’m being honest here…

I’ve failed to reach some of my goals.

Truth is:

Things don’t always go your way.

Or you simply realize you don’t want that goal anymore.

And that’s okay.

What matters is to keep moving in the direction that you want to take your life.

To keep growing and experiencing things.

Whatever that may mean to you.

For the last 5 years, I’ve carried the dream of backpacking through South America.

Last week, I bought my plane ticket.

I’m going.

It’s finally happening.

Years in the making, and it will become a reality in mid-January.

What do you want to achieve next year?

Get Win Your Year and start achieving your goals next year.

I can hear you already:

“But Dan, this is going to take a looooong time.”

Not at all, my friend. The entire program consists of 5 simple steps.

I’ll tell you about them in my next email.
