The TRUTH About Progress

Part of becoming a Rogue CEO means that we learn how to become completely unstoppable with whatever we set our minds to.

We are going to talk about the proven formula for that today.

For the sake of our time together, I want you to imagine the “Rogue CEO” as this perfect ideal of yourself.

It may not be possible to always reach perfection, but if we set up the ideal, we can at least begin to scratch the surface of what is possible for ourselves.

What does your Ideal Self look like?

How is your business or career?

How are your relationships?

How is your health?

The Rogue CEO Methods are the tools for achieving the change you want in those areas, whatever they may be.

Today, I want to talk about how to Accelerate Results with particular focus on one part that is often overlooked.

First, let's talk about the formula:

1. Set Clear Goals

2. Cultivate a Positive Mindset

3. Take MASSIVE Action

We are going to jump into each point below, but I want to add what I think is the most overlooked piece of this formula.

Between steps 1 and 2, we need to add something very important that will save you decades.

Here’s how the formula SHOULD look:

1. Set Clear Goals

2. Learn from the BEST

3. Cultivate a Positive Mindset

4. Take Massive Action

And I don’t just mean “get a mentor/coach”

Let’s dive in…

1. Set Clear Goals:

We all know this one, but it needs to be said.

If you don't know what you want clearly, it's unlikely to happen.

Practice SMART Goals:

• Specific

• Measurable

• Achievable (this does not mean easy to achieve!)

• Relevant

• Time-bound

You know this one - I don’t need to go any further.

2. Learn from the BEST:

This is the one that people overlook or forget about.

In my mind, this is the single biggest indicator of your outcomes.

If you learn from someone who's only "good," you will likely have "okay" results.

You only have the opportunity of having "great" results if you learn from someone who is "great."

You wouldn't walk through a minefield first, and you don't need to try to achieve your goals by yourself.

Someone else has already done it and can help you get there.

Find someone who has what you want and connect with them immediately.

For an example from my personal life, when I decided I wanted to start training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I didn’t search for a school with convenient class schedules.

I found a gym with a world class head coach and booked private classes with him several times a week.

I found myself head and shoulders ahead of my teammates that started at the same time as me in a short time.

We all had the same coach, but I was the only one doing several private sessions a week.

Learning from the best + intimate learning environment = Results

Fast forward to today, and I know that I am much more skilled at jiu jitsu than I would have been if I had selected a school with a convenient class schedule.

Asking for help (from the BEST ONLY) can reduce the time it takes to achieve your goals by decades.

Find the BEST in your field or in your desired goal area and reach your targets faster!

• Ask your network for referrals

• Take someone to lunch

• Buy a course

• Hire a coach

• Book a 1:1 call

This is the “secret sauce.” Get with someone who has excellent results in a field.

3. Cultivate a Positive Mindset:

We will talk more about this another time, but to keep you from being left hanging, here are the main points:

• Read Content that Empowers or Inspires You (Like Rogue CEO Methods!)

• Focus on your Strengths

• Practice Gratitude

• Surround Yourself with Winners

#4. Take MASSIVE Levels of Action

You knew this part was coming too.

This is the part that separates the winners and the losers.

The truth is, a lot of people quit at this point or come up with excuses.

We’ll be talking more about how to set habits, become more disciplined (without hating yourself), and building momentum.

To Summarize:

1. Set Clear (and SMART Goals)

2. Learn from the BEST

3. Cultivate a Positive Mindset

4. Take Massive Action

If we set ourselves up with a mentor or a coach who is excellent and we follow these steps, we seriously become unstoppable.

Keep in mind that you will likely need a new mentor or coach in each area of your life that you want to improve.

Ask yourself “Who is teaching me in this area of my life?”
