What if the answers you’re looking for already exist within you?
In this episode, I share a powerful framework for solving your hardest business and life challenges by connecting with your future self. This is the same strategy I use with my VIP coaching clients at e-Learning Partners to create clarity, momentum, and exponential growth through what Dr. Benjamin Hardy calls an impossible goal.
An impossible goal is not about incremental progress. It is about creating a future that is 10x bigger than your current reality, paired with an aggressive timeline of three years or less. When you anchor your identity to that future version of yourself, your decisions in the present start to change automatically.
You’ll learn how to bridge the gap between who you are today and who you are becoming using three practical tools. First, you’ll write letters from your future self to your present self across three time frames: three years, one year, and 90 days. Second, you’ll learn how to ask your future self questions to unlock clarity, direction, and high-leverage actions right now. Third, you’ll integrate a daily gratitude practice that aligns your past, present, and future into one focused identity.
I also share real-world examples from my own life, including how visualization and future-self thinking helped me win an ultramarathon, and how one of my VIP clients is taking concrete steps toward halving the global suicide rate.
If you want clearer answers, better decisions, and faster progress toward your biggest goals, this episode will give you a simple but powerful place to start.
If you’re ready for deeper support, you can apply for my VIP coaching experience.
