love to see Paris or always dreamed of going on an African safari. Write down your recreational goals. Do not limit yourself … big thinking gets big results. • Professional: This is about more than just your income. What’s your title? What are your responsibilities? How do people see you? How do they talk to you and about you? Who listens to you? These things indicate where you are professionally and once assessed, you can form a clearer picture of where you want to be. With your goals in black and white, you’ve just taken the first big step toward bouncing back from whatever the pandemic threw at you and laying the foundation of your 10X Super Life. Most people don’t even do it once a year and you just did it! If you get hung up on anything, just let your imagination go, okay? Think big. Think massive – a word you’ll get to know real well, real soon. Now, take the list you just made for all these goals and multiply each of them times 10X – as in ten times to the X-treme! Commit first, figure it out later. The genius will follow the commitment, not vice-versa. Once you increase your commitment, the mechanics will fall into place. Solutions will present themselves. Living a 10X Super Life is about doing, not worrying. It’s about action, not words. It might be a new way of thinking for you but DO NOT QUIT on this exercise. How stoked are you right now? Feels good, right? That’s the power of 10X inside you. 

It’s time to get to work on turning things around and creating your 10X Super Life, which is simply the best life you can live.

If it’s a weight thing, if it’s a size thing, if it’s the way you feel about yourself phys- ically on the inside, just write it down. This coaching exercise will lay the foundation for your 10X Super Life. Commit first, figure it out later. • Spirituality: What does it mean to you? Are you connected spiritually? Maybe you don’t believe in anything. Maybe you’re an atheist, or you just believe in a higher power and want to be a good person who does the right thing. That’s fine. Write that down. • Family: When we talk about family, most people think of their spouse and their kids. Broaden your definition.
