On Tuesday lunchtime, I was reminded of a story demonstrating the power of goals.
And why, if you donât program your brain with clear goals, you wind up in trouble.
I was training over 60 coaches within my self-development group, the Inner Circle.
To begin, I recalled a story.It was a freezing morning on the 1st of January 2021. We were in the middle of the COVID epidemic, and the world was uncertain about its future. But I was crystal clear.In my hands was a picture an incredible artist, Jo Morley, had created for me. As I hung the picture on my wall, I stepped back, took a deep breath, and focused intently on the image.The picture was a visual representation of my BHAG goals. It was inspired by the genius of Jim Collins, who wrote, Good to Great, one of the best books you will ever read on business. These were Big Hairy Audacious Goals. The types of goals that feel out of reach. I planned to put this picture where I could see it every day so I could burn these goals into my soul. It worked. Five years later, almost all of these BHAG goals had become a reality or were in progress. Itâs not luck. I knew exactly what I was doing.Those with clear goals will outperform those without. Goals are the lifeblood of success.Why do goals work?When we set a goal, we make an emotional connection to this goal. These emotions wake our subconscious brain to the importance of this goal. Then, something incredible happened. Your brain creates a filter for your goal. All of a sudden, you notice people, places, and resources you need.Often, you will experience serendipitous moments that feel almost magical. But the truth is that these people, places and resources were always there, but your brain didnât know they were important.This is how the trouble begins.If you leave your brain untrained, it will filter what it thinks is most important based on its evolutionary programming. The massive problem is that evolution does not care for your happiness. It only cares about survival and getting your genes into the next generation. These evolutionary traits are often negative. Your evolutionary instincts are anxious, fearful, and paranoid. It cares too much about keeping everyone happy, compares, and agonises over status.But when you take charge of your inner world and set meaningful goals, you create the right filters.You train your brain.Your goals drown out the negative.And thatâs why goals make us happy!!!Instead of your brain misfiring its energy on the negative. It will focus its power on reaching your dreams.I ran my goals experiment to test this theory.And it worked.And it will do the same for you. Here is your challenge for today.Set one BHAG goal.Put it somewhere you can see it.Keep it in focus, and let your brain do the work.Let me know what you choose.
Your coach Andy
PS - Donât just set BHAG goals train with me to achieve yours!! It was training as a coach that allowed me to reach my BHAG goals. And I want to share this gift of coaching with you.

Train with me to become a coach - www.andyramagetraining.com
On Saturday I had one of the best days of my life.
Seriously, if it all grinds to a halt tomorrow, I will go to my next adventure happy.
It all began with a simple question that I have asked myself every day for the last month:
What beliefs do I need to create to make today great?
Sounds too simple, I know.
But stay with me.
The world we experience on the outside reflects our beliefs on the inside.
This incredible wisdom has flowed through the ages.
You canât control the events that happen to you, but you can control the beliefs you hold about them, which will dictate how you feel.
So you have ultimate control.
After 30 days of asking this question, momentum is starting to build.
I begin each day with a win.
I woke up!
Seriously, not everyone will wake up.
So you get another go.
You donât have tomorrow or yesterdayâonly today.
Why waste it?
You can make every day a masterpiece.
On Saturday, I woke up to the most spectacular sunrise.
I asked myself what beliefs would make today great.
As I walked to the gym, the roads were empty, and I could feel the warm morning sun on my face.
I listed off some of my beliefs for the day.
Do not be afraid, everything will be ok
Control what you can control and let go of everything else
Smile
Radiate joy
You have your health
A wonderful family
Donât sweat the small stuff.
Then I got a text from my wife Tara.
âShall we go to London for lunch to our new favourite restaurant, Cambino on the Old Brompton Road.â
âYES!â
I added a twist.
We would stay fasted and walk from the city to the restaurant to take in the sights of London.
It took us about 3 hours, with some breaks.
And every bit of it was bliss.
From the Thames to Green Park and the Palace.
I then discovered another great truth:
Hunger is a great sauce!
It was after the first bite that I exclaimed.
âI am going to put a line under today. If this is the last one, I am happy!â
Life is a reflection of the beliefs you hold.
So my take away for you is to begin your day with a question:
âWhat beliefs do I need to create to make today great?â
Let me know how you get on.

Eleven years ago, I woke in a hotel room in London.It was 8 a.m. on a Thursday.
My head hurt, and my breath was short.
I was hungover.
Again.
I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I was getting fat. I looked like a haggard 60-year-old.
I was still in my 30s
I didnât have a problem, nor was there a rock bottom.
But I had had enough.
So I quit. Again.
Having spent the last two years trying, this time it was different.
And this time I cracked it.
As you probably know, it was my life's most crucial moment!
This Thursday, 11 years later.
I woke at 5 am and felt blooming marvelous.
42lbs lighter and a thousand times happier I went to the gym.
Then, I headed to London to coach a 1:1 client I love spending time with.
Next, I met the co-founder of the Equilibrium app and community, helping athletes transition their careers after their playing days end.

And I owe this life 100% to being alcohol-free!

Here are 11 alcohol-free wins I will NEVER give up!
