Every goal setting system you've ever

learned is broken I am a leading expert

in behavior and I'm going to show you

how to reprogram your mind to finally

get what you want so let's be honest

most people suck at setting goals and

it's not your fault the entire system

that you've been taught about goal

setting it's broken and it's broken

because it doesn't use the part of your

brain that literally makes all of the

decisions and runs your entire life the

limic system and our brain system this

is the neurocognitive intelligence or

NCI goal setting

system let me show you why this is the

NCI Goal Setting System

most powerful thing that you're going to

ever do to reach your goals step one

describe the ideal and perfect outcome

with Vivid details and measurable

elements that allow you to know when you

have arrived so this is like plotting a

desired arrival point on a GPS

it's the address it is the latitude and

longitude of your destination then we

move over to the right here write out

your least desired outcome if nothing

changes if you just keep doing exactly

what you've been doing all along so

we're going to describe in very Vivid

detail where you're going to arrive if

you continue with your current habits

your behaviors the Mind sets and

worldview so imagine 2025 if you don't

change a thing

harsh yes necessary absolutely so write

it out your brain needs contrast the

dream versus the Nightmare and this is

where your mind starts to Crave the

ideal because staying the same becomes

unbearable next we're going to write

down Milestones habits and new beliefs

that are going to make accomplishing

this goal a byproduct of all of these

new traits the goal accom accomplishment

should always be looked at as what can I

do to make my goals a natural byproduct

of how I'm choosing to live my life how

can I make my goals a byproduct so don't

focus on the goal here focus on the

habits and beliefs that make the goal a

natural byproduct of who you are going

to become so goals are destinations

habits and behaviors are the vehicle to

the goal next we're going to write out a

detailed and very maybe painful list of

all the habits beliefs and behaviors

that you might currently be doing that's

going to make your least desired outcome

come true so this outcome will be a

byproduct of these maybe negative or

neutral traits and worldviews here's the

truth though your habits today are

building one of two Futures write down

all of those beliefs those behaviors or

habits that could just drag you toward

the nightmare that you wrote down

earlier make it painful because you need

to feel the cost of your inaction next

we have mamalian brain programming so

how will you use the Fate model to

brainwash yourself into getting into new

habits beliefs worldviews and mindset so

the Fate model is a system I develop to

understand and use the four elements

that make the mamalian brain start

taking action on stuff it's the most

powerful tool to understand how to shape

human behavior and there's the most

detailed tutorial in the world inside of

the NCI textbook and that's called the

behavior operations manual it's on

Amazon if you want to learn how to use

it on other people and conversations

let's get back to the goal setting part

Focus Authority Tribe Emotion

this is about Focus Authority tribe and

emotion so let's start with Focus right

here we're going to write how will you

maintain focus on your goals at an

animal level at the Maman level words

don't work at this level so imagery

massive amounts of novelty and changes

in your environment and repetition are

very important to the Mamon brain

because of the reticular formation in

the brain other people call this the

reticular activating system whatever we

repeat the brain says Chase wants more

of this or I want more of this I'm going

to search for it and search for it in

life and the questions our brain is

asking about the environment determine

what we see so this is where the

non-stop exposure to vision boards start

to come in and a vision board is a

collection of visual images which are

understandable to the mamalian brain

since there's no words there and these

things represent your desires and goals

if you're in your office get a big ass

TV and just go buy an iPad or something

that you could just duct tape to the

back of the TV and put a slideshow of

all of these this is like 8 maybe 900

images just on repeat forever that just

goes on and on and on even while you're

sleeping you're not even in the office

it's on there when you walk in it's on

when you walk out you lead that on to

maximize that level of exposure getting

that done really well there's a million

videos on how to make vision boards and

stuff like that so next on the list is

Authority how are you going to leverage

authority figures in Social proof to

ensure that your mamalian brain knows

what you're doing is good it's allowed

and it's very powerful Now we move into

tribe this is about how can I involve my

circle of friends in the achievement of

all these new habits and beliefs get

your friends in Social Circle very much

involved make deals with them to keep

you in check bring some accountability

into the picture next we get into

emotion how will I create the emotional

attachments to this future self My

Future Self one amazing way is to

download one of those apps that makes

you look really old and print those

photos out hang them around your office

hang them around your house put them on

your bathroom mirror even you can set

the photo as your phone or computer

wallpaper and this is done so that you

develop a very Visual and mamalian

understanding and relationship with your

future self because one of the huge

problems is that people don't prioritize

their future selves because it's hard to

imagine they can't see their future self

so we make this happen this is also

another entry point for your vision

board so the more imagery you have on

there the more powerful the emotion is

going to start to seep into the Mamon

brain which is going to start changing

your world world view and your life the

mamalian brain is where it's at not the

words and all the stuff with the human

brain that we always hear about so the

three highest leverage new habits to

adopt is the next step here right here

we're going to develop a deeply powerful

list of the most impactful and

meaningful new habits that can start and

enable all the other things to happen

just like dominoes remember that

starting a habit only requires

discipline for a short period of time

once it's a new habit you don't need

daily discipline anymore so keep in mind

that it's okay to start small on these

habits and there doesn't need to be some

massive shift right away it might be

waking up early maybe an hour early to

get things done or buying more healthy

food or going on walks more often

practicing mindfulness meditating

therapy making more content building

better calendars and plans for yourself

or anything else that you think is going

to be a Lynch pin to get you going in in

the right

direction now we move in to the actual

The Brainwashing Formula

brainwashing formula and this is

literally a formula for brainwashing but

we're going to use it on ourselves to

make some badass changes happen in our

lives so we're going to develop new

habits using this brainwashing formula

and this formula spells out the word

fear f a r and this stands for Focus

emotion agitation and repetition so in

the focus part how am I going to keep

these habits in my daily Focus where

there is no way that I can possibly

ignore them then we get into emotion how

am I going to bring these habits into an

emotional realm where I'm deeply

emotionally connected to all of them

then we get into agitation this is very

important how will I disrupt my

environment enough so that my mamalian

brain has no script to fall back on it

doesn't look normal it doesn't look like

the regular everyday stuff and the

novelty is forcing my brain to pay

attention we did a whole another YouTube

video on this what can I do to disrupt

my brain's prediction centers I might

rearrange Furniture in my house for some

clients they repainted the inside of

their house they maybe bought a new car

they changed up their their wardrobe etc

etc how can I disrupt my brain's ability

to predict the future does it look like

what it looks like every single day if

it does my brain's going to go off of

scripts and the scripts that I've always

operated on so the final part of this is

repetition and this is about daily

monitoring every every single day it

might only take 30 seconds but how am I

going to ensure there is a nonstop

exposure to all of these things until

the discipline is no longer needed and

the Habit finally gets formed the next

step is one of the most important and

this is the dopamine map so what we're

going to do here is develop a map of

where my dopamine sources are coming

from in life and we're going to assign

each item a point value that once it's

total all up is going to equal 100

points this is likely not where you want

to be at the end of this so under this

we're going to develop a more desired

dopamine map and this is the map of

where we would like the majority of our

new sources of dopamine to come from and

this is going to help us to live the

life that we want so if for example

alcohol and video games are taking up 60

of my dopamine points and time with my

kids is taking up 20 points something is

wrong so it's important to be very

brutally honest with yourself here

there's a negative and a positive side

on these dopamine Maps so where is my

dopamine coming from is it video games

or YouTube or Tik Tok or Instagram or is

it family time and working and doing

creative work spending time with kids or

whatever is important to you this is

about figuring out what do I want my

sources of dopamine to be and

consciously choosing those sources of

dopamine that is so critically important

to this coming year when you're setting

these goals so whatever you want to do

this year to change your life remember

that everything in your life will come

down to habits beliefs worldview and

discipline beliefs are the most

difficult to change for a lot of people

so if you're a subscriber the next video

that I have coming out will be the most

advanced and most comprehensive video

about changing your beliefs that has

ever been made and I can guarantee you

that thank you for watching you can

download this brainwashing goal sheet

right here I'm going to put a link down

in the description and I want to remind

you that you don't need anybody's

permission to change your life there is

a completely different destination

that's waiting for you over the horizon

and now is the time to set that new

Waypoint on the map no more drifting no

more waiting if confidence is one of

your goals there is a complete mental

reboot program called confidence reboot

and I have made a hypnosis audio program

that you can listen to absolutely free

every night that's going to start this

transformation off in the right way for

you it's in the link in the description

down below as well I want this to be the

best year of your life because this year

it's about the journey to your

destination being amazing not just the

destination this year is the journey and

I want you to appreciate that journey

and I want you to use this system to

make it fun thanks for joining me one

love
