TMS #002: Do Not Focus On Goals

They all scream for goals:

Goals are not the most important thing!

No, they are not. But what then?

Hi there👋.

I hope you’re having a great Saturday so far!

Today, I did an XLETIX Challenge in the center of Germany.

The XLETIX Challenge is an extreme obstacle course that must be mastered as a team. There were 15 obstacles, mud, water, and climbs. I started with 3 friends to cross the finish line together. With the many obstacles, one thing quickly became clear:

Do not focus on the goal.

It was essential to understand each obstacle's problem and work out a system for overcoming it together to get closer to our goal.

For example, we had to overcome a 3 m high wall. Of course, this was only possible by working with several people and supporting each other. Some had to push, others had to pull.

If the system was successful for one group, it was copied and adopted by others.

What do we learn here? Goals are good for giving direction. Winners and losers have the same goals.

But systems are best for making progress.

If something is not working:

Change the system, not your goals.

Focus on your systems.

Other examples of goals and systems:

1) Earning 1 Mio EUR = goal

Set up automated accounting = system

2) Lose 20 kg = goal

Find a nutrition coach = system

Build systems and processes that help you stay in the game longer and get results. I love systems.

Our team was in excellent shape today. We adapted and optimized our systems until we could clear every hurdle. We reached the finish line together, satisfied and full of happiness hormones. Now we are already looking forward to our next challenge next year. We will even increase the difficulty.

Keep improving and setting up your systems.

Thanks for reading. Have a great day.

WOOHAAA,

Christian
