Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel.
2
In this video, we are talking about the GPS method
3
that will drastically improve your chances of achieving literally any goal that you set your mind to.
4
So it contains a bunch of evidence -based insights
5
that have been combined into this fairly easy to follow system that's completely free
6
and takes like somewhere between five and 10 minutes to actually do.
7
So whether you want to build a business
8
or you want to get fit
9
or you want to find the love of your life or you have goals in literally any other area of life, if you follow the GPS method, you are just way more likely to achieve that goal.
10
And by the way, if you're new I'm a doctor turned entrepreneur and author of the New York Times bestseller, Feel Good Productivity.
11
These days, my main gig is that I'm the co -founder of Sparkle Studios, which is a sort of app development company where we're building productivity apps that we wish existed in the world.
12
And on the side, I've been making YouTube videos since 2017, documenting my journey from medical student, to doctor, to entrepreneur and author and sharing the books
13
and ideas and strategies and tools that can help us build a life that we love.
14
So if that sounds good, you might like to consider subscribing.
15
if you like.
16
So before we dive into the GPS system,
17
there is one key piece of theory that this entire system is based around.
18
Now this might sound obvious, but it's surprisingly powerful, which is
19
that every goal you want to accomplish is merely a series of tasks or actions that you do.
20
So if you are not accomplishing your goals, you are simply not doing the things that it would take you to accomplish your goals.
21
Like if you didn't need to do stuff, then your goal would just happen automatically.
22
And the reason it hasn't happened yet is because you're not doing the right things.
23
And that is either that you don't know what the right things are to do, Thank you or you do know what the right things to do are, but you're not actually doing them.
24
And pretty much all of goal achievement, all of the evidence around it can basically be summed down to those things.
25
What is the goal?
26
What are the actions that are actually going to get you there?
27
And then how do you get yourself to actually do those things?
28
And it's this concept, these three concepts that the GPS system is based around.
29
Like, for example, let's say I wanted to get fit and that was my goal for whatever reason.
30
In order to get fit, I have to do a series of actions like eating healthily and hitting the gym and doing some cardio, all of that kind of stuff.
31
If I wanted to start a business, there would be a series of actions like figuring out my idea
32
and like coming up with a product and finding people to buy it.
33
And so the whole idea behind the GPS system is that we are breaking down these three components into
34
an actionable system with a nice acronym that we can use, firstly, to actually achieve the goals that we set.
35
And secondly, as a diagnostic tool, where if we are struggling with something, we can just run it through the GPS system and then we'll see exactly why we are struggling.
36
Great, so having established that, let's actually talk about the GPS system.
37
Now the GPS system stands for goal, plan, and system.
38
And within each of the components of goal, plan, and system, there are three factors or three things that we want to be considering.
39
This might sound like a lot, but literally it takes less than 10 minutes per goal that you set, maybe even five minutes to like figure out like the three components of the GPS system.
40
And if you just follow the system, you are drastically more likely to actually achieve the goals that you set.
41
I'm going to go to the next one.
42
Alright, so let's start with component number one, which is the goal.
43
Now, when it comes to setting the goal in the first place, there are two broad mistakes people make.
44
Mistake number one is not being clear or specific or concrete enough about what the goal actually is.
45
What is the thing you actually want to do?
46
Things I hear a lot when I do events is like, someone will set the goal that they want to stop procrastinating.
47
It's like, okay, but what does stop procrastinating actually mean?
48
You've probably tried to set the goal of stop procrastinating for a decade and it hasn't succeeded.
49
So there's like something going wrong here.
50
Similarly, I speak to people who say that their goal is to start a YouTube channel.
51
But like right now, you could go on youtube .com, you could click new channel and congratulations, you've started a YouTube channel.
52
Have you accomplished the goal?
53
Well, probably not because when you say start a YouTube channel, you actually probably mean some things other than that.
54
But like you haven't yet taken the time to get specific and concrete about what you actually mean by that particular goal.
55
So the way we avoid this mistake is by getting really specific.
56
on what are we actually trying to do?
57
And the trick here is in the specificity.
58
It is so much easier to work towards a specific and concrete goal compared to a vague or an abstract one.
59
I often hear people say, you know, I wanna start a business or I wanna start a lifestyle business because I want financial freedom.
60
I'm like, okay, that's great.
61
But that's a very vague abstract goal.
62
Start a business for financial freedom.
63
It's like, what does financial freedom mean?
64
Like how much money are we talking?
65
And starting a business that makes you 100 grand a year
66
or 500 grand or a million a year is very different than starting a business that you can sell for $300 million.
67
thoughts.
68
And both of them could be a business that gets you to financial freedom.
69
So what actually is the thing that we are going after?
70
The second big mistake people make when it comes to goals is choosing goals that are not emotionally compelling enough.
71
You really need to understand why do you care about the goal?
72
A lot of us choose goals from a sense of should or a sense of obligation.
73
"Oh, I really should take care of my health.
74
I really should do that thing because like, you know, society or parents or what people will think." Or, you know, all that, all that kind of stuff.
75
But in general, it is so much easier to achieve a goal if you have some compelling reasons
76
as to why you care about actually achieving that goal.
77
Ideally, those reasons would be intrinsically motivated, not just extrinsically motivated.
78
Again, the evidence on this is clear.
79
People who follow goals for extrinsic purposes, like fame or money or or status or that kind of stuff.
80
A, you're a lot less likely to actually hit those goals, but B, you are also less likely to enjoy the process of hitting those goals.
81
So we wanna get clear on why.
82
Why do we care about the specific thing?
83
And then the third component of the GE component of GPS is what are your anti -goals?
84
What are the things you want to avoid en route to achieving your goal.
85
Like let's say your goal was, I don't know, to build a $100 ,000 a year lifestyle business in the next 12 months.
86
That would be a reasonable goal, it's quite specific.
87
Maybe your reason why is because you really want time freedom.
88
You want the autonomy to be able to control your time, to be able to pick your kids up from school.
89
That's a reasonable why behind it.
90
And you might set the anti -goal, like along the route to building this business, I don't want to have to work on the weekends.
91
I don't want to have to work more than 40 hours a week.
92
These are all good constraints that you can set on yourself, because it's not just about achieving our goals, it's about achieving our goals without like torpedoing the other aspects of our life.
93
What specifically is the goal?
94
Why do you actually care about achieving it?
95
What are your reasons?
96
And what are the anti -goals or constraints?
97
What are the things you wanna avoid on route to achieving the goal?
98
And here are some examples of this in action.
99
So for example, for me, one of my health goals is I wanna reduce my visceral fat levels by 50%.
100
That is the what, it's specific, it's tied to a number.
101
In general, whenever you can put a number on your goal, it makes it, that's a hack for like getting more specific and like, quantifiable and clear about what you're actually trying to do.
102
Why do I want to decrease my visceral fat levels?
103
Well, I recently became a father and I would like to not die of a heart attack, particularly soon.
104
And visceral fat levels are like the things
105
that like directly contribute to your risk of a heart attack or a stroke or something.
106
And I have a family history of heart disease.
107
And thanks to my poor South Asian genetics, even though I don't look that fat, like I actually have quite a lot of visceral fat in my abdomen, according to DEXA scans that I've done.
108
And so really, I would like to be around for my wife and child and hopefully future children, without dropping dead of a myocardial infarction overly soon.
109
And then in terms of anti -goals, things I want to avoid.
110
Yes, I want to reduce my visceral fat levels, but I don't want the process to eat into the time that I spend with my wife and my daughter.
111
So I don't really want to be going on runs in the evenings, for example, because that's like family time.
112
And on screen, we will put some other examples of goals.
113
This, for example, is the goal for getting a girlfriend and the what, why and anti -goals that you might choose in that context.
114
And this, for example, might be the goal to start your lifestyle business.
115
So the what, the why, and the anti -goals associated with that.
116
And of course, you're very welcome to pause the video
117
if you'd like to look at these examples in a bit more detail.
118
Oh, by the way, if you're watching this video, then maybe one of your goals is to grow your social media presence.
119
And that is where the sponsor of this video comes in, and that is ManyChat.
120
Now ManyChat is a platform that basically helps you create automations on social media.
121
So for example, you might've seen on my Instagram or on other people's Instagram, the whole thing around comment the word, book and I'll send you a link to my book
122
or comment the word guide
123
and I'll send you a link to my guide Usually the book
124
or the guide or whatever the thing is Those are lead magnets
125
that are capturing emails so
126
that we as the business owners can then connect with our audience on a platform That's not social media
127
because then we get their email address now Obviously doing this stuff manually would take a lot of time especially
128
if you have a big audience But what many chat does is
129
that it is a meta approved automation platform
130
that makes it super easy to create automations So that
131
when someone triggers a particular keyword you can then define a series of actions
132
that are going to happen next and you can cool stuff with it.
133
So for example, on my Instagram, if you comment the word Angus on any of my posts, then you might get a little Easter egg.
134
You can use ManyChat to create DM automation.
135
So if someone DMs you a particular word, you can almost like create like a little quiz funnel and do an automated chat qualification process for them if you want.
136
And of course you can use ManyChat for things like if someone comments a particular word on a video, you could send them to some kind of resource or lead magnet
137
or to book a call or for whatever the thing that your business does.
138
So if you would like to grow your audience and find a meaningful and automatic way to connect with them, then check out there can be a link in the video description.
139
So thank you so much ManyChat for sponsoring this video, and let's get back to it you you OK, so having established our goal,
140
the next thing we want to do is we want to figure out what is the plan.
141
Now, there is a fascinating debate that goes on in the world of personal development.
142
in the realm of goal setting, And that is about the importance of goals versus systems.
143
So you've got the systems camp, which was popularized by James Clear in his wonderful book, Atomic Habits.
144
And the general vibe that people took away from that is that you don't need to worry too much about the goals.
145
What matters is the system.
146
Like the system is sort of like the daily habits.
147
The example he used in the book, I think was that everyone who runs the 100 meter sprint in the Olympics, they all have the goal of winning a gold medal, but obviously not all of them can win the gold medal.
148
And generally the person who wins, it's because they have the best system or the best habits in order to practice to get to that particular goal.
149
This is all well and good.
150
However, if your goal is to win the gold medal in the 100 meters Olympics, that is a very different system you would follow compared to
151
if your goal is to win gold medal in swimming at the Olympics, or even if your goal is to get a girlfriend, or even if your goal is to start a business.
152
That's not to say the system is not important, but like the goal does in fact define what you're actually doing and what's the system that you follow.
153
Then on the other side of the camp, you have the people that don't really care about systems, they don't really care about plans, they just care about the goals.
154
This is sort of like the manifestation law of attraction folks who are like, "Man, if you just have crystal clarity, you just really got to get clear on exactly what you want,
155
then the universe will conspire to give it to you and all of those sorts of things.
156
And the classic criticism of that is like, okay, but you can have a goal to become a millionaire, but unless you follow a plan and like do stuff, like follow some kind of system to get there,
157
it's not actually going to happen.
158
And so I think both camps do have some kind of merit.
159
And so basically the plan is the bridge between the goal and the system.
160
The goal is sort of like the destination you are trying to get to.
161
The system is like, you know, putting one foot in front of another in order to get to the destination.
162
But the plan is sort of like your roadmap.
163
It's like the path you follow in order to get to the goal.
164
So there are three components of the plan.
165
The question you want to ask yourself is what are the three to five major moves
166
that will get me to my goal?
167
So, for example, if my goal was to reduce my visceral fat by 50%, The three to five major moves I might define as 10 ,000 steps per day,
168
hitting 150 grams of protein per day, staying underneath 2200 calories a day, making sure I do three sessions of zone two cardio three times a week,
169
and making sure I do three sessions of weight training with progressive overload to avoid losing muscle.
170
Those are like five
171
major moves that if I followed those things
172
and actually did them would be pretty likely to get me to my goal of reducing my visceral fat levels.
173
This is like the plan, the plan that you follow to get to the goal.
174
The next part of the plan is we ask ourselves, is the plan actually realistic?
175
So is it realistic in theory?
176
i .e.
177
"In theory, will the plan get us to our goals?" Like assuming we followed the plan to 100 % accuracy, would we actually get to the goal as a result of following the plan?
178
Does the plan work in theory?
179
And we put a percentage amount on that.
180
And then we also ask ourselves, In practice, "Will I actually follow the plan?
181
"What are the chances of me actually following through "on this plan?" And this I find is a really, really, really important part of the process.
182
A lot of people are very good at setting goals.
183
Like they're like, they know what they want, but then the plan that they choose to follow in order to get there just doesn't make sense.
184
I know a lot of people who are choosing to start their first businesses, because they wanna get to, I don't know, $10 ,000 a month in passive income.
185
It's like, okay, cool, we're clear and specific about the goal
186
but then the plan that they're following is just very unlikely to actually get them there.
187
Even in theory, even if they followed the plan, it just wouldn't get them there.
188
And that means that they just haven't picked the right plan.
189
And these days with like ChatGPT and Claude and AI tools, it's not that hard to come up with a plan that actually gets you to your goal.
190
But you have to kind of be thinking in this way, otherwise you end up choosing plans that just don't make sense.
191
Oh, and by the way, if you're interested in a totally free and easy way to incorporate the GPS system into your own goals,
192
then my team and I have actually trained a totally free AI model that is literally trained on the GPS system, we call it the GPS coach.
193
And so it's sort of like ChatGPT, but just way more specific because it's specifically about the GPS thing.
194
And it will basically ask you a series of questions so
195
that it can kind of coach you through the process of like figuring out the GPS for your own goals.
196
So there'll be a link down below in the video description if you are interested in that, it is completely free.
197
For example, I know people who have the goal of getting to $10 ,000 a month in passive income, to follow to get there is number one, posting on Instagram once a week.
198
Number two, trying to get companies to sponsor them for posting on Instagram once a week.
199
And number three, doing this for about six months before giving up.
200
Now, Even if you followed that plan, you posted on Instagram once a week, You tried to reach out to brands
201
and you did it for six months would that get you to $10 ,000 a month in passive income?
202
- Absolutely not.
203
Like there's all sorts of issues with that plan, but like the primary one is that posting on Instagram once a week is really just not enough to get anywhere.
204
Maybe if you're posting once a day, and you're doing it for like three years, then maybe you could get to that goal in terms of like the passive income goal.
205
Also, brand deals isn't really passive income, so you'd actually probably want to be creating your own digital product or something like that.
206
Also, depending on what your niche is, Instagram might not even be the best platform for it, you might actually choose LinkedIn or YouTube or TikTok instead.
207
Like there's all sorts of things that are wrong with that plan.
208
And often what I find is that people just don't take the three or four minutes to actually think, what is the plan I actually wanna follow?
209
And does the plan even make sense in theory?
210
And then sometimes if the plan does make sense in theory, you still need to ask yourself, will I actually follow the plan?
211
For example, if my goal was to reduce visceral fat, and part of my plan was running for five hours a day, Okay.
212
In theory, that will massively increase my caloric expenditure, which will put me in a calorie deficit, which will probably reduce my visceral fat.
213
But what are the chances that I'm actually going to run for five hours a day? those are pretty low.
214
Therefore, If any of these numbers is under 80%, this is sort of like my threshold for this, that is a sign that I need to rethink my plan.
215
And then the final component is something that I call the crystal ball method.
216
This is based on research from the psychologist, Gabriel Oettingen, who has come up with this WHOOP method, where basically the whole vibe is you kind of wanna
217
Imagine a crystal ball
218
and you want to figure out like let's say you project in the future
219
and you did not achieve your goal
220
or you did not follow the plan what are the top three reasons as to why you didn't follow the plan?
221
Like, what are the top three reasons why it didn't work?
222
In the case of reducing my visceral fat, for example, reason number one why it doesn't work is maybe I...
223
if I think back to past attempts at doing this.
224
Number one, I just blow over my calorie my calorie limit of 2200.
225
And so I just eat way more calories than that, which means I'm never gonna reduce fat.
226
Number two is maybe I lose a lot of muscle
227
because I haven't hit my 150 grams of protein with enough of a training stimulus to retain muscle.
228
And maybe number three is I don't do my 10 ,000 steps a day, which means I'm end up in a caloric surplus rather than a caloric deficit.
229
And then that makes the whole plan go out the window.
230
So in this context, even just taking one minute to just visualize what is your plan for achieving the goal?
231
And then what are the top three reasons why it might not work?
232
This is mental forecasting.
233
You're sort of predicting what obstacles you're gonna run into.
234
before you're getting started with a goal.
235
And then you come up with a plan to address those obstacles.
236
So again, using my fat loss example, how do I make sure I stay under 2 ,200 calories?
237
Well, I should probably track on MyFitnessPal.
238
How do I make sure I stay at 150 grams of protein?
239
Well, I should probably track it on MyFitnessPal.
240
How do I make sure I get 10 ,000 steps a day even when I'm busy?
241
Well, I have a walking treadmill literally off camera, and so I can make sure I'm just tracking my step count on my Apple Watch, and I'm just sort of making sure that if I'm in Zoom calls or whatever,
242
I'm sort of working on the treadmill to passively get those steps in without actually having to go out
243
and go for a walk.
244
Those would be like just three random examples of obstacles that could get in my way of not achieving my goal.
245
And then things I might do to overcome those obstacles.
246
Again on screen, this is what the plan might look like for the girlfriend example.
247
And this is what the plan might look like for the start a lifestyle business example.
248
And again, you're very welcome to pause the video to have a look if you would like.
249
Okay, so now we get to the boring bit, which is the system.
250
So there are three components of a system.
251
So the goal was where do I want to be going?
252
Like, what's my destination?
253
The plan is what do I need to do to get there?
254
The system is answering the question of how will I make sure I stick to the plan?
255
What daily and weekly actions do I need to do to make sure I actually stick to the plan?
256
Because again, lots of us are very good at setting goals, but we suck at sticking to those goals.
257
There is an execution gap.
258
We have the intention to do the thing, and then we don't do the bloody thing.
259
And the reason why is because we have not stuck to the plan, assuming we have a plan in the first place.
260
So there are three aspects of the system.
261
The first one is tracking.
262
For example, this meta -analysis basically collated 138 different studies that covered nearly 20 ,000 participants.
263
And they basically found that the people
264
that monitor their progress towards a goal, i .e they track their progress towards achieving that goal, those people were way more likely to actually achieve the goal compared to people that did not track.
265
Again, you've got the classic weight loss example, which is if you just step on a set of scales once a day, you are likely to lose weight.
266
Because just simply being aware of the number makes you start making micro decisions that cause you to lose weight.
267
Similarly, ever since I got a WHOOP band, I've been aware of my sleep score.
268
And so my sleep has improved really without me having to do anything other than just looking at the number every day.
269
Because when I see things like, "Man, my sleep score was only 64 %," it will just nudge me to do sensible things like, "Get an earlier night," and make sure the room is set to the right temperature and all that kind of stuff.
270
It is enormously helpful to track your progress towards your goal.
271
So the question you want to be asking yourself is, for whatever goal I'm following, for whatever plan I'm following, how can I track my progress towards it?
272
When I was writing my book, Field of Productivity for example, I made the most progress when I had a Google sheet
273
and I was tracking how many words I was writing every day.
274
Back when I was studying for my exams at Cambridge University Medical School.
275
The highest performances I ever got in the exams were the ones where, again, I had a Google sheet where I was tracking the syllabus and I was sort of colour coding it red,
276
yellow, green, depending on how confident I felt about that particular topic.
277
People who go to the gym and end up getting jacked tend to track their workouts.
278
They don't just go to the gym and hope for the best.
279
They actually write down on some kind of notebook or some kind of app exactly what they're doing.
280
People training for a marathon are far more likely to actually be able to run a marathon
281
if they are tracking their runs, looking at their heart rate, looking at their heart rate zones and sort of adjusting their plan as they go along.
282
Component number two of system is to ask yourself, "How will you remind yourself of your goal and of your plan?" For example, there was this study, I think 2017, from Dominican University.
283
And basically what the study found is that if you just write down your goals, "you are 42 % more likely to achieve them." And there was another study I came across, I can't remember the exact reference,
284
but it was basically showed that if you look at your goals every day, you are just, again, way more likely to achieve them.
285
If you remind yourself, of what you are trying to do, then, you know, the brain has a tendency to forget.
286
But, you know, we all set new year's resolutions, new year's goals, and then like a week goes by, two weeks go by, and we have completely forgotten what the goal actually was.
287
And so there is a lot of value in just reminding yourself to look at the goal.
288
How do you remind yourself to look at the goal?
289
Well, you can do things like a daily journaling practice.
290
I've made videos about that.
291
You can do things like a weekly review.
292
We've done videos about that.
293
My favorite thing is to just stick blocks of time in the calendar.
294
So for example, if I know that one of my goals is the visceral fat thing, and my goal is to run three times a week, it's just super nice to put those three blocks of running in the calendar,
295
and set it to repeat for the next three months
296
or six months because at least every time I look at the calendar, I'm reminding myself that like, oh yeah, this was a thing that was important to me.
297
You could use an app, like my team and I have built an app called Momentum, which is sort of like a habit tracker with accountability squads built in.
298
And this gives you notifications every day.
299
Like I get a notification to remind me to do my 10 minutes of stretching every day.
300
The other example is I have a vision board that I've created that I have as my desktop wallpaper.
301
And this reminds me of what some of my goals are every single time I go on my computer.
302
So the question you wanna be asking yourself is, what are the reminders I can implement into my life that will actually help me stick to the plan?
303
And then the final component of system is Accountability.
304
Most of us really struggle to hold ourselves accountable to ourselves for the goals
305
and the plans that we would like to achieve.
306
And so having some kind of system where you get an accountability squad
307
or an accountability buddy to help hold you accountable is enormously helpful.
308
My team and I have this online mentorship program called the Lifestyle Business Academy, where we mentor people one on one to help them build their lifestyle businesses.
309
And a key component of that is accountability.
310
We are checking in on you every single week to make
311
sure you're doing the things you said you were going to do.
312
We give you a Google Sheets scorecard to fill in every single week that asks you how many hours you worked, how much content you posted, how many discovery calls you took.
313
We have like a checklist process to help you go through the process of figuring out your niche
314
and figuring out your offer.
315
And if we see that you're falling behind, like a lot of students tend to do, we ping you a message in the one -on -one support channel, being like, "Hey, Johnny, notice that you're falling "a little behind on blah, blah, blah.
316
"What's going on?
317
Anything we can help with?" It's an accountability system more than anything else.
318
So if you just spend five minutes defining your tracking system, your reminders, and trying to come up with some sort of accountability system, whether it's a friend or a family member, or like a WhatsApp group, or using our app Momentum,
319
has accountability squads built in, All of these things in the system component are again, gonna make you way more likely to actually follow your plan and actually achieve your goal.
320
Now at the point where you've taken five
321
or 10 minutes to define your GPS for any of the goals that you're working towards, you're gonna wanna check out this video over here, which is a video containing, I think five really quick,
322
really easy evidence -based principles that you can follow to again, drastically increase the chances that you're actually gonna achieve your goal.
323
So plan your GPS method for any goal that you have, and then check out that video over there to be able to put it into practice.
324
Thank you so much for watching, and I will see you over there.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
