🌱 75 Alive (my goals + template for the next 75 days)

The last 3 months have been the biggest growth period of my life.

Not because everything worked. That wouldn’t be growth.

But because I finally got clear on what I actually want and started taking real steps toward it.

With the fear. Not without it.

So I just set goals for the next 75 days.

They’re stretchyyyy.

If I hit 75% of them, I’ll be a different person.

Key learning: Start with vision. Not the goals.

👀 Vision → Goals

Before, I used to operate like this:

Have → Do → Be

“If I hit X, then I’ll feel confident.”
“If I make Y, then I’ll feel secure.”

Now it’s flipped:

Be → Do → Have

Start with the energy.
Then the actions follow.
Results are a byproduct.

When I could actually see and feel the life I want, on a whiteboard, in conversation, my daily decisions shifted automatically.

I don’t need perfect motivation.

I need to feel pulled by who I’m becoming.

When that pull is strong enough, the right actions follow.

That shift alone has changed how I work, train, relate, and create.

The vision came first. The goals followed naturally.

Here’s a Google doc template for you to make a copy for yourself.

🧘 Rejection Therapy 

I’m reading The Algebra of Wealth by Scott Galloway and had to share this. 

He says entrepreneur is just a polite word for salesperson.

And sales = rejection.

Reading the below paragraph my mind couldn’t comprehend how he withstood SO MUCH rejection…

He ran for class president 4 times. Lost every time.
Rejected from UCLA. Applied to 23 firms, only 1 offer. 

His superpower is in this banger line:

Good news is that sometimes all it takes is one.

One yes. One introduction. One lucky break…

But only if you’re willing to endure 20+ no’s.

I recently realized I have far more capacity for discomfort than I’ve been using.

Scott’s vision was bigger than his fear.

Fear gets quieter when vision gets louder.

As you read this, ask yourself: where would you have stopped?

TLDR: The vision he felt pulled harder than rejection pushed.

You don’t need perfect clarity.

You need a strong enough pull.

It’s not about pushing harder.

It’s about caring enough about the vision that rejection becomes part of the path.

🥷Vision Vs Fear

It’s a simple game.

Vision: What do you want?
Fear: What could go wrong?

Both voices are loud.

For most of my life, I steered from fear.

Lately, I’ve been steering from vision.

And I feel more love and aliveness.

Which made these current 75-day goals possible.

That’s why I want to share this with you. 

A few months ago, someone sat with me and asked:

“What do you really want?”

That was the lead domino for me to connect with my own vision. (See my vision on a whiteboard.)

I recently started having these vision conversations with friends and family and they’ve been incredible. (I don’t use that word lightly). 

If you’re called to connect with your bigger vision for yourself, I’d love to support you.

I opened up slots on my calendar for vision conversations. 

No pitch. No agenda.

Just space to articulate what you want and what’s in the way.

If that sounds useful, grab a time here: Vision Jam (30 minutes)

What a time to be ALIVE.
