Podcasts about all it takes is a goal

What if the difference between being good and being truly great was simply a mindset shift?Too many entrepreneurs and business leaders play it safe—setting goals that feel achievable instead of ones that push their limits. They stay “relatable” instead of aiming to be remarkable. But according to today's guest, Jon Acuff, real breakthroughs happen when you set goals that challenge you.Jon Acuff is an INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker and the New York Times bestselling author of ten books, including his most recent, All It Takes Is A Goal.In this episode, we break down why so many people settle for less than they're capable of—and how to break free from it. Jon shares how standing out beats blending in, how AI can amplify (not replace) your work, and why setting bigger, more challenging goals is the key to unlocking remarkable success. We also dive into the psychology of goal setting—why most people fail, how to tap into the right kind of motivation, and why belief follows action (not the other way around).3 of the biggest insights from Jon Acuff …#1.) Remarkability vs. Relatability—Why Playing it Safe is a MistakeMost people try to blend in, but standing out is where the real opportunity lies. Jon explains why financial advisors and business owners should focus on being remarkable rather than just relatable—because the people who get remembered are the ones who dare to be different.#2.) The Future of Content: How AI is Changing the GameAI isn't replacing creators—it's amplifying their work. Jon shares how he's leveraging AI to identify viral moments, repurpose content, and create more impact with less effort. The key? Using AI as a tool, not a crutch.#3.) Motivation vs. Belief—The Key to Achieving Big GoalsIs it motivation or belief that helps you hit your biggest goals? Jon breaks down the two types of motivation—fear-based and reward-based—and why taking action, even before you fully believe in yourself, is what truly leads to success.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/103FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a free copy of Jon's book, "All It Takes Is a Goal: The 3-Step Plan to Ditch Regret and Tap Into Your Massive Potential" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "103" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

Here is a framework to make sure you have goals you can truly run with: SMARTER Goal Framework by Michael Hyatt Specific: Specifically, identify the goal, so it's clear what you're trying to achieve. i.e., Write a book, start a podcast, declutter my home, etc. Measurable: Quantify your results so you can be sure you're on track. i.e., Write a book three days per week for 30 minutes. In this example, notice you can measure progress by days of the week and time spent on writing. Actionable: Start with an action verb instead of a "to be" verb. i.e., run, drink, quit, finish versus am, be, have. In our previous example, write the train the trainer manual three days a week for 60 minutes–write is the action word used. Risky: Risky goals should stretch and challenge you but shouldn't be unrealistic. Set yourself up for success instead of failure. i.e., Declutter my home in a day sets me up for failure. Decluttering a room in a day is risky. Time-Bound: Put a specific time frame with each commitment. i.e., four times per week, daily, monthly, etc. Exciting: The commitment must inspire you, or you're not likely to follow through. Internal motivation is more powerful than "have to" motivation. Your reason for this goal is what helps you get through the messy middle. Relevant: Your commitments will look different for different seasons of your life. i.e., a mom with young kids will have less discretionary time than someone who's an empty nester, doesn't have kids or is single. Once you create your goals, follow these steps to get those goals done: 1. Write down your goals somewhere you can see them regularly If they're shoved in a drawer, you'll forget about them; out of sight, out of mind. 2. Chunk down your goals into doable steps Break down your goals into daily small baby steps Each day do one small thing that moves you towards your goal. 3. Review your goals daily or weekly Again, out of sight, out of mind. See where you're at with your goal—Prep the next week with those small doable steps. You're moving towards your God-given purpose when you take those doable daily steps. Always give yourself grace. Fall down one day or two weeks? Pick yourself back up and keep moving forward.

Welcome back, friends!! Today on the show, I'm delighted to have author and speaker Jon Acuff for a conversation about a soon-to-release book he recently co-authored with his two teenage daughters. Yes, you heard that right! He wrote a book with his teenage daughters! How amazing is that?!  You may remember when Jon was on the show last year around the release of his book Soundtracks. Well, so many parents reached out to him after reading it asking for a version for teenagers. He knew they were on to something, but he also knew he couldn't write a book for teenagers without it reading like an adult trying to sound cool. So he enlisted the help of his daughters! Your New Playlist is a book for teenagers by teenagers, and I'm so thrilled Jon ran with this idea. The things we believed as teenagers can be so impactful. It is so encouraging to think about how the teens in our lives can learn to create new thoughts that lead to actions and even better results. Be sure to listen in to find out how! Jon Acuff is a New York Times bestselling author, an INC Magazine Top 100 Leadership speaker, and host of the All It Takes Is A Goal podcast. He has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people at conferences and companies around the world, including FedEx, Nissan, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Chick-fil-A, Nokia, and Comedy Central. He lives outside of Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife and two teenage daughters.   Listen in to learn more about: How the truth grows like compound interest. The ways our thoughts can work for us or against us and how we get a say in how they work. The things Jon's daughters taught him about thought patterns and what teenagers deal with today. Favorite quotes: ~If you are a parent it is good to listen to ‘absolutes' from your kids because it is usually the sign of a broken soundtrack.  ~There's a real joy when you as a parent help your child do a difficult  thing and they realize  it's possible.  ~A good friend is an archive and they store memories and moments for you that in times of stress you forget. ~Nothing gets better accidentally.
