Chop Wood and Carry Water

We all set new year goals and resolutions but hardly do we develop a plan. Other people never set goals. They only have wishes and hopes. The truth is a goal with a plan has a higher chance of succeeding than one which does not have one. Actually, over 80% of people forget their goals within the first quarter of the year. The others struggle to achieve them if they do not have a well-laid plan. In this episode, Jay highlights a new mindset you need to make 2023 the best year of your life.

To ‘chop wood and carry water’ means setting your goal, determining the price for that goal, and then resolving to pay the price. It demands continuous effort, time, and energy toward what you want. When you take on somebody going in the woods, they bring their axe, make the decision, and they put in all the required resources, but their goal is to get firewood. They know the price it takes and what it demands to pay it. Chopping wood is a process that you should be committed to. You have to let go of some habits, desires, and relationships. 

Join the conversation with your host, Jay Chase, as he shares the process you need to achieve your 2023 goals. Know what you can do to change your life and hit your goals.
