Macha,
In yesterday’s mail, I spoke about Trials – which are essentially milestones you want to hit in your growth journey.
By figuring out what are the trials you need to complete in your adventure, you get a clear idea of what you need to do to achieve success. (Fun fact: Just breaking down your big problem into smaller goals to achieve makes you a lot more likely to achieve success!)
Once you have the trials, you want to loop through each one of them and work through specific details of each one of them. You want to peg down details like The Mini-Boss, The Grind, The Victory, The Loot & Level up. (Don’t worry. We’ll unpack them in later emails)
And you should do that for each of the Trials you’re undertaking.
Look.. this can be a bit confusing, so let me simplify it for you.
What I’m saying is this: Take your large goal that you want to hit (the Quest) and chart your progress to it by indicating what milestones you want to hit (The Trials). In later parts of the framework, we’ll work out other details like what you need to do, how you’re gonna do it etc.
Savvy?
Seri. It’s 5:01 as I’m typing this out and my coffee is getting cold.
I’ll talk soon. Ok?
Oh wait.. one more thing – can you tell me how this email thing is going for you?
Good? Bad? Ugly?
Whatever it is, let me know da. That is valuable information.
For now, this is Arvindh “Meesai” Sundar saying over and out.
P.s. Yes. I got me a moustache now!
