THE IMPORTANCE OF GOALS
VERY FEW PEOPLE

THEIR GOALS
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOALS
FEWER STILL

FRAME THEM
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOALS
In my experience
Those who write down
& FRAME THEIR GOALS
ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE
HUMAN BEINGS AT CREATING
A BETTER WORLD
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOALS
WHEN YOU WRITE a goal DOWN your
subconcious BRAIN BEGINS TO MORE actively
think about bringing into your life
THE PEOPLE, RESOURCES & KNOWLEDGE
YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE your GOALS

In the world your mind can naturally
Filter opportunities to find those that

Lessons from my 20s
PURPOSE
PART I, Section 2
A quote
“When you grow up you tend to get told the
world is the way it is and your life is just to
live your life inside the world. Try not to
bash into the walls too much. Try to have a
nice family, have fun, save a little money…

That's a very limited life. Life can be much
broader once you discover one simple fact…

Everything around you that you call life was
made up by people that were no smarter
than you and you can change it, you can
influence it. Once you learn that, you'll never
be the same again.”

 - Steve Jobs
How to FIND YOUR PURPOSE
MOST PEOPLE NEVER create THEIR
LIFE PURPOSE
Instead they get sucked into the
Dreaded vortex of passionless mediocrity
(Don’t let this happen to you)
AVOIDING THE VORTEX OF MEDIOCRITY
CREATING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE
1. THOSE WHO LIVE WITH PURPOSE
2. THOSE WHO DO NOT
creating YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
THOSE WHO TAKE THE TIME TO CREATE
THEIR LIFE PURPOSE OFTEN ARE ABLE To
LIVE WITH EXTRAORDINARY ENERGY
AND MOTIVATION & OVERCOME CHALLENGES
Most could not dream of
A QUOTE
- HOWARD THURMAN!
“Don’t ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive.
Because what the world needs is
People who have come alive.”
LIFE HAS NO MEANING
UNLESS YOU CREATE THE MEANING
FOR YOURSELF
LIFE HAS NO MEANING UNLESS…
CREATING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
SO let’s talk about Your
LIFE PURPOSE
DISCOVERING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
IF YOU CAN GO THROUGH A PROCESS
TO CREATE YOUR PURPOSE
THEN YOU CAN ADD GREAT MEANING
AND MOTIVATIOn TO YOUR LIFE
Your purpose is not
Something you HAVE
Your purpose is
Something you CREATE
Creating YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
CREATING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
Once you have a clear purpose
and goals for your life you can direct
your life rather than letting outside
factors determine your direction
TO0 MANY PEOPLE ARE WAITING to
“FIND” THEIR PURPOSE
WHEN IN FACT purpose is something
you CREATE
DISCOVERING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
Standing strong with a clear purpose
You will be able to much more easily
withstand criticism and challenges
when you are internally clear on your
Specific purpose on this planet
LIVING A PURPOSe-DRIVEN LIFE
THE COMMON DENOMINATOR AMONG EVERY
SINGLE HIGHLY DRIVEN AND SUCCESSFUL
PERSON I HAVE EVER MET, REGARDLESS OF FIELD,
IS THAT THEY HAVE COMMITED THEIR GOALS TO
WRITING AND CREATED FOR THEMSELVES A
PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE
Your LIFE IS YOUR MESSAGE
YOUR LIFE IS YOUR
MESSAGE TO THE WORLD
MAKE SURE IT IS
INSPIRING
Living a Purpose-driven life
Living a purpose-driven
Life is important to me
Here’s what I’ve created
As My purpose
MY life purpose
Help CREATe An ABUNDANT, SUSTAINABle, and joyOUS WORLD FOR ALL PEOPLE
All people can live
peaceful, mindful, and

sustainable planet with
clean energy

People will help you reach your goals if they can remember what you’re all about. If often hard to discern what the people you meet are up to
and who they need to be connected to. Make it simple for others you meet to remember what you’re up to by finishing the below sentence
and making sure those you meet know what you’re up to in the world.

I will be known in my community as the

_______________________ ____________________ 

person.
4 min
NOW BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
On the next page is a blank life plan form.

Give yourself some time to review and reflect on all your answers from the brainstorming
session. Then print out and fill in the life plan form with a pen or pencil. Feel free to adjust
your answers as you go, but don’t worry too much about getting it perfect.

Consider this form as just a draft. You can print out another one anytime.

There are no right answers and you can re-do your life plan as often as you want. I find just
having something written down helps people a lot. I actually recommend re-doing this
exercise at the end of each year.

I suggest framing the page after you’re done and putting it up in your office or bedroom.

A quote
“Each of us must make the personal choice to be a hero or

not, to be committed to something bigger than ourselves or

not, to go beyond the way we “wound up being” and have

the purpose of our lives and our careers be about something

that makes a difference or not, in other words, to be a leader

or not.”
– Werner Erhard
Lessons from my 20s
VISION
PART I, Section 3
A POEM on life
“Short this life is, just one I’ve got, finite in tenure, whether I like it or not. Dead
is embracing fear, replacing dreams with ‘I cannot.’ Alive is taking a new step,
having a shot. I will do the impossible, I will change the world, I will give hope to
a despairing nation, I’ll give bread to a starving girl. I’ll break all the records, I’ll
do what’s never been done, I’ll give and know love, I’ll be a billionaire of fun.

What will you do with today, this hour, this minute? Will you fill with dull and
fear or will you live it? I will not tolerate any foe no matter weapon or munition,
especially if that foe is within me in the form of fear or lack of ambition. Short
this life is, just one I’ve got. Finite in tenure whether I like it or not. As sure as
the eagle I will fly, ’cos I choose, I choose to live until I die.”

TO AVOID MEDIOCRITY
TO AVOID BEING MEDIOCRE
YOU MUST SEEK OUT PEOPLE
WHO ARE NOT MEDIOCRE
AND HANG OUT WITH THEM
Your EDUCATIONAL NETWORK
YOUR UNDERGRAD & GRADUATE SCHOOLS

SO PREPARE WELL AND GO TO THE
ABSOLUTE BEST SCHOOLS YOU CAN GET INTO

Your EDUCATIONAL NETWORK
KNOWLEDGE IS CRITICAL SO IF YOU CANNOT
GET INTO OR AFFORD THE BEST SCHOOLS

MONEY
PART I, Section 11
The middle class versus the rich
“Individuals in the middle class accumulate more debt as they
become more successful. A pay raise qualifies them to borrow
more money from the bank so they can buy personal items like
bigger cars, vacation homes, boats, and motor homes. Their
wage income comes in and is spent on current expenses and
only then on paying off their personal debt. So as their income
increases, so does their personal debt. This is what we call the
rat race.”
- Robert kiyosaki
The rich have their money work for them
“The rich have their assets work for them.
They have gained control over their
expenses (by saving and investing money
each month) and focus on acquiring or
building assets. Their businesses pay more
of their expenses, and they have few, if
any, personal liabilities.”

 - Robert Kiyosaki
WHICH FINANCIAL PATH WILL YOU TAKE?
THERE ARE TWO SEGMENTS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
WHICH SEGMENT DO YOU WANT TO BE IN?

BIG MARGIN OF SAFETy BETWEEN WHAT HE
THINKS THE FIRM IS WORTH AND WHAT
THE MARKET THINKS THE FIRM IS WORTH

1.  Avoid stocks with pe ratios over 25, unless they have extremely high
REVENUE growth (over 50% year)
2.  Learn how to create a dcf valuation
3.  Have the discipline to create a DCF valuation for every public
company investment you make
4.  invest only when you have a 30% margin of safety between what your
DCF model says the company is worth and what the market sayS

Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact… Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.” - Steve Jobs

  • 108. Lessons from my 20s VISION PART I, Section 3
  • 109. A POEM on life “Short this life is, just one I’ve got, finite in tenure, whether I like it or not. Dead is embracing fear, replacing dreams with ‘I cannot.’ Alive is taking a new step, having a shot. I will do the impossible, I will change the world, I will give hope to a despairing nation, I’ll give bread to a starving girl. I’ll break all the records, I’ll do what’s never been done, I’ll give and know love, I’ll be a billionaire of fun. What will you do with today, this hour, this minute? Will you fill with dull and fear or will you live it? I will not tolerate any foe no matter weapon or munition, especially if that foe is within me in the form of fear or lack of ambition. Short this life is, just one I’ve got. Finite in tenure whether I like it or not. As sure as the eagle I will fly, ’cos I choose, I choose to live until I die.” - A.E. BALLAKISTEN

  • 327. The middle class versus the rich “Individuals in the middle class accumulate more debt as they become more successful. A pay raise qualifies them to borrow more money from the bank so they can buy personal items like bigger cars, vacation homes, boats, and motor homes. Their wage income comes in and is spent on current expenses and only then on paying off their personal debt. So as their income increases, so does their personal debt. This is what we call the rat race.” - Robert kiyosaki
  • 328. The rich have their money work for them “The rich have their assets work for them. They have gained control over their expenses (by saving and investing money each month) and focus on acquiring or building assets. Their businesses pay more of their expenses, and they have few, if any, personal liabilities.” - Robert Kiyosaki
