Side Chat: The sideways approach to getting what you want

<p>Have you noticed that surfers tend to have nice abs even though they’re not trying to? They’re just out there doing what they love, and abs are the happy byproduct.</p> <p>Meanwhile, you might be in the gym, cursing your ab-less torso on what feels like your millionth rep of sit-ups.</p> <p>When you boil it down, there are always two approaches to getting what you want: Head-on, or sideways. The head-on approach is how must of us naturally assume success and achievement work. It’s direct and rooted in cause and effect. “I do this, I get that.”</p> <p>In today’s brand-new Side Chat, we’re talking about the sideways approach to getting what you want. It’s counterintuitive (or maybe just <em>purely</em> intuitive) and indirect. We got into…</p> <ul> <li>How we might all be falsely correlating effort with success.</li> <li>Why doing what <em>feels good</em> is usually the best way to get what you want, even if it’s completely unrelated to your goal.</li> <li>Examples of how we’re coming at goals indirectly right now.</li> <li>How this idea ties into “<a href= "https://clarityonfire.com/expectations-2020/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">no more expectations for 2020</a>.”</li> </ul> <p>We’d love to hear what you’re going to come at sideways, starting now. <a href= "https://clarityonfire.com/getting-what-you-want" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Come share in the comments</a>!</p> <p>LAST DAY OF 1:1 COACHING ENROLLMENT!</p> <p>Today, Friday the 16th, is the LAST day we’re accepting sign-up forms for new clients!
