How to achieve your most ambitious goals
gm lions!
A few folks around here post their HIVE Goals and the progress they're making in reaching these goals. I applaud you and feel inspired by you! ๐๐๐
I've been doing my best to stay consistent in posting, curating and powering up so I can set a goal for myself and make it public. That way I can be held accountable.
I'm still working on my spreadsheet model to set my BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) but it's looking like it will be somewhere between 170K-200K HP by December 2026 and will be achieved through posting, curating, onboarding, liquidity pools, DeFi and purchasing.
If the price of HIVE is at $5, $8 or $10 by then, you can really consider this Life Changing Money (blog post by @taskmaster4450le)
It's big, it's ambitious and it's very far away (in crypto time)
But it's doable.
And today, I found the secret to achieving it.
Today, I'd like to share with you a video by Stephen Duneier which I've found incredibly inspiring.

In this video, he explains two incredibly simple but powerful keys to achieving anything in your financial, personal or business life.
Element #1 - Break down your big goals into many tiny, achievable goals
This image is a self portrait painting of artist Chuck Close, and American photorealist artist. It took him 4 months to complete in 1969
looks good right?
Check out the dimensions. It's huge!
Chuck developed a technique where he would first take a photo of his subject and then break it up into tiny little squares by putting a grid over it. Think of it as a mosaic. Hey'd then take square by square and replicate the image onto the wall. The end result is the huge self-portrait above.
Here's another piece by Chuck Close where the squares are exaggerated so you can see the technique:
Easy right?
All you have to do is paint one square at a time.
One achievable goal after another.
Left foot. right foot. one step at a time.
one blog post at a time.
One comment at a time
one @threespeak video at a time.
Element #2 - Make tiny, marginal improvements to your decisions along the way
These marginal improvements should improve your probability of succeeding in achieving your goals.
Remove distractions, change behaviors that don't serve your ultimate goal. Get up five minutes earlier, work out five minutes more, hold off on 1 beer a week, post one more word, etc, etc, etc.
Tiny adjustments can have profound impact on your results.
If you're tempted to scroll through Crypto Twitter and binge on the latest FUD, make the decision to plan out a post.
If you're sitting on the couch blindly watching that movie you've seen 30 times, read an investment article.
And these tiny marginal adjustments will help you improve the probability of succeeding at your small goals, and thus your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal).
Peter uses the example of Novak Djokovic to present this idea.
In tennis, the points that are played during a match are determined by 1 to 3 small decisions.
back in 2004 he was winning 49% of the points that were in play during his matches. This ranked him at 187th (Novak Djokovic ranking history) not bad.
later, in 2006-2010, by making a marginal adjustment to his decision making during his matches he was able to improve his decision success rate to just 52%. the result? Top 3 player in the world.
Then in 2011-2016 by, again, making some marginal improvements to his decision making, he was able to increase his decision success rate to just 55%. the result? Novak Djokovic became the Number 1 player in the world and maybe the greatest player of all time.
I invite you to take 18 minutes of your day to listen to Stephen Duneier who says it best from first-hand experience. I've just gotten inspired by his incredible story, and I hope you do too.
Have an awesome Sunday!
