Episode description

In this episode, Blaine talks about the difference between goals and activities and what he calls you 'arc of activity'. Your arc of activity is the trajectory of daily habits and behaviors and where they eventually lead. You can set a goal to be met 6 months, 1 year or 5 years into the future but if you don't set up the proper systems to meet that goal, its unlikely to happen. Systems for daily, weekly, and monthly activities that ultimately lead to the accomplishment of the goal is what determines the difference between success and failure.

James Clear, author of the book 'Atomic Habits', says, "people don't rise to the level of their goals, but instead fall to the level of their systems". Many people have the same goals but never reach them so just having a goal is never enough. Many people have goals to be financially independent but never succeed. The goal is a worthy one and they may be exceptionally motivated and inspired by it. However, if there is no system in place with daily, weekly, and monthly activities that lead to financial independence, the goal will mean nothing and will never be achieved.

Listen in as Blaine discusses your 'arc of activity' and how the trajectory of your actions will more likely determine your future.
