They’re Called Trade-offs

Summary

• People often want to achieve their goals without changing their habits. They might want to get a six-pack or see hyper-growth in their business while keeping everything else the same. But these goals have trade-offs and costs.
• Think of your goals like buying shoes at the store. You can’t choose the price; you either pay it or you don’t. It means you have to be willing to make changes or sacrifices to get what you want.
• Understand that every outcome you want comes with a price tag. Be ready to make the trade-offs if you truly want to achieve those goals.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing a mindset shift first. Recognize that achieving your goals means you might have to make changes or sacrifices. You can’t expect different results when you keep doing the same thing.

A good way of understanding this is to think about what you’re willing to give up. If you want to grow your business fast or get in better shape, ask yourself if you're ready to trade some free time or comfort for these achievements. List out your goals and write down what changes you're willing to make for each one. It could mean waking up earlier, learning new skills, or adjusting your plans.

Think about your goals like buying shoes. You can't decide the price; you pay it or not. So, treat your goals the same way. Be clear about what you're willing to pay in terms of effort and changes.

Focus on the small, actionable steps you can take today. For instance, change one small habit that holds you back or dedicate an hour each week to learning something that supports your goal.

Remember, priorities matter. Not everything needs a big overhaul. Start with easy, low-cost actions that still make a difference. These steps can build momentum and help you move steadily toward your bigger goals.
