![]() If you knew you or someone you love would die if you didn’t double your goal and achieve it in 30 days, what would be your first three moves? This may seem like an extreme exercise, but if you lived with a sense of urgency and you absolutely had to accomplish this thing you wanted but have allowed fear to hold you back, what would you focus your attention on to make it happen? The Priority Question: If you absolutely had to double your goal in the next 30 days, what would be your first three moves?
