I’m writing this after having just returned from the latest Unbreakable Man Retreat.

As the name suggests the retreat as about becoming an Unbreakable Man, because the way I see it, if I can give men the confidence and skills they need to not give up on the things that matter the most to them then there’s nothing they won’t be able to build for themselves!

Now the very first element of becoming Unbreakable is about doing the work required to find our purpose and direction in life.

What do we actually want? Not just this week, month, or year, but for the foreseeable future?

And what things must we accomplish to create that future for ourselves?

If we don’t know where we’re going then anything and anyone can take control of our lives, because we don’t even know what the hell we should be doing with it!

So we did a lot of writing, writing down the things that matter to us, and what we wanted our lives to look like.

It turns out that this seemingly simple task is actually quite difficult.

And it highlighted just how little clarity so many of the guys had about how they wanted their future to look.

No wonder many of them felt stuck in their lives!

But once they got into this exercise and with a lot of back forth between themselves, myself, and the leadership team every man experienced the confidence that came with feeling a little bit clearer about what they wanted and what they needed to do to get it.

So my question to you is:

If you're aiming to make some serious changes in your life, do YOU have written goals?
