  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm our host, Anna McGivern, and let's jump into today's quote
• 0:15
  from Francis of Assisi, who said start by doing what's necessary,
• 0:21
  then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the
• 0:26
  impossible. This is the blueprint for
• 0:30
  achieving impossible goals. Just three steps.
• 0:34
  First, do what's necessary. Not what's exciting, not what's
• 0:38
  impressive, what's necessary. You want to run a marathon,
• 0:44
  what's necessary? Putting on running shoes and
• 0:48
  running one mile or 1.6 kilometers.
• 0:53
  That's it. Start there.
• 0:55
  You want to build a business? What's necessary?
• 0:59
  Making one sale? Talking to a few customers?
• 1:05
  Creating one product? Start there.
• 1:09
  The necessary stuff is usually boring.
• 1:11
  It's not sexy, it won't impress anyone, but it's the foundation,
• 1:16
  and without it, everything else collapses.
• 1:19
  Second, do what's possible. Once you've done the necessary,
• 1:25
  you start to see what's actually possible.
• 1:28
  Not what you dreamed was possible.
• 1:31
  What you now know is possible based on what you've already
• 1:33
  done. You ran one mile consistently,
• 1:38
  now 5 miles is possible. You made one sale, now 10 sales
• 1:44
  is possible. Possible expands based on what
• 1:48
  you've proven to yourself through doing the necessary and
• 1:52
  3rd. Suddenly you're doing the
• 1:55
  impossible. And here's the keyword Suddenly
• 2:01
  it doesn't feel gradual. One day you look up and realize
• 2:05
  you're doing something that would have seemed completely
• 2:08
  impossible when you first started.
• 2:10
  The impossible isn't conquered through one giant leap.
• 2:14
  It's conquered through small necessary steps that lead to
• 2:17
  possible achievements that compound into the impossible.
• 2:25
  So here's the question. What impossible glory are you
• 2:28
  staring at right now? Stop staring at the impossible
• 2:32
  part. What's necessary?
• 2:35
  Start there. Do that.
• 2:38
  The impossible. We'll wait.
• 2:41
  That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:43
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
