Become Your Own Life Coach

• 00:04 Let's step back for a minute and talk about the big picture here.
• 00:07 This is a course on goal setting, but why do we want goals?
• 00:13 I think if you really dig deeply enough,
• 00:15 all of us at some level want the same thing.
• 00:17 We have different tastes, we have different specific goals but
• 00:23 all of us, you, me, we want the goal of living a good life.
• 00:28 And that can mean different things to different people.
• 00:30 But it means living a life of fulfillment.
• 00:34 Living a life that gives you a sense of accomplishment.
• 00:38 A life that makes you happy.
• 00:41 Living a life that gives you the health you want, the wealth you want.
• 00:47 There can be very specific goals,
• 00:50 you may aspire to be a billionaire, you may aspire to have no money.
• 00:55 There's no right or wrong specific goal, but
• 00:59 the general goals are happiness, fulfillment, living a life of purpose.
• 01:05 So that's why I've created this course.
• 01:07 And that's what we're going to learn together is how to set goals
• 01:11 that are specific to helping you in every aspect of your life.
• 01:16 Not just how to become a millionaire by age 20 or a billionaire by age 35.
• 01:22 I do want you to have big lofty goals and they may be things like,
• 01:27 make a billion dollars, retire at age 35, cure the entire world of malaria.
• 01:34 They may be big goals, but
• 01:35 I want you to get used to really breaking them down into highly,
• 01:40 highly specific goals that you can do on a daily basis in the form of a habit.
• 01:46 I want you to start thinking in terms of that because that's where most
• 01:50 people fail.
• 01:51 They may have no goals, even if they have goals
• 01:54 they go nowhere because they don't break it down into simple bite size.
• 01:59 So that's why I'm starting off with the bite-sized stuff.
• 02:02 But don't worry, there's lots of depth to come.
• 02:06 You must become your own life coach.
• 02:09 Now you may be in this course to teach yourself how to set goals.
• 02:13 You may be looking for techniques on how to teach other people to set goals.
• 02:18 You may be an aspiring life coach, either way, first and
• 02:22 foremost, you have to be a life coach for yourself.
• 02:25 You've got to get your life in order first,
• 02:29 you've got to build the habits of setting your own goals in life.
• 02:34 Because what is unique about living in this part of the 21st century,
• 02:38 is that never in the history of humankind have there been so
• 02:42 many smart people with so much engineering power, and computing power,
• 02:47 and budgets behind them, trying to influence you and your life goals.
• 02:52 I'm talking about the good folks at Google, and Facebook, and
• 02:57 YouTube, and Netflix, and McDonald's, and KFC.
• 03:01 All of these major corporations are trying to reach out to you
• 03:06 every single day, with messages, advertisements, emails,
• 03:11 text, to set your brain with the goals they want for you.
• 03:15 They want you to have a lifetime of being a consumer,
• 03:20 watching, eating junk food and having a life of mediocrity.
• 03:26 You've got to fight that, but that's what this course is about.
• 03:29 But first and foremost, you must accept the job.
• 03:32 I can't be your life coach, it's not something you can outsource.
• 03:38 First and foremost, you have to be your own life coach,
• 03:44 which means you have to clearly establish
• 03:49 what's your own goals are for life.
