 Some recent work on self-image took me to an interesting place:

- One has to have a clear picture of self image, who you are, ethics, what you want. With that, plus a gamification process, in that it has to be fun, it’s possible to make confident decisions. It is the bedrock of everything, a transformation vehicle, which combines a set of principles. You cannot create more than what your self-image allows for. In that sense it can be a limitation. Point being: what self-image encapsulates your wildest dreams, all come true, at the very same time?

- I would like to be
    - Fearless
    - Courageous
    - Wealthy
    - Healthy
    - Loving
    - Humble
    - Strong
    - Free
    - Happy
    - Calm

- I would like to spend time being
    - An investor
    - A music producer
    - A photographer
    - A creator
    - A podcaster
    - A father
    - A husband
    - A free-willed man
    - A leader
    - An athlete

- In order to do that I:
    - Will not take random calls
    - Will not work for anyone else
    - Will not get dragged into situations I do not want to be in
    - Will not worry about travelling a path less trodden

    - Will not be mean to myself
    - Will not be scared of failure
    - Will not take no for an answer

    - Accept nothing less than full control of my time
    - Will ensure I manage both energy in and energy out in my schedule
    - Will trust my heart
    - Will trust my intuition
    - Will give more than I take
    - Will be generous with my wealth
    - Will be productive until the day I die
    - Will love my wife
    - Will cherish my children
    - Will put family first
    - Will take some risk
    - Will embrace energetics
    - Will invest in quality mentorship
    - Will invest in quality self-care
    - Will smash the 15 minute work window
    - Will celebrate every task completed
    - Will curate my ideas
    - Will utilise a 2nd brain for productivity

 Thanks for sharing Jake… this will prompt me to do some work, it’s time for us to update our goals and relevant beliefs to support those goals. 
We came across something called, ‘Lifebook’ a few years ago. I call it goal setting on steroids… have you heard of it? 
 I've not no. But always keen to learn more
 
 Hi Jake, thanks for the zap. I think you’d really enjoy lifebook. It’s intense but really helps you get aligned. 
 Can you share a link? There's a few similar looking things on amazon 
 where do you get the 2nd brain?!
