In this episode of the Million Dollar Playbook, Sharran highlights his six success strategies for high achievers, the aptly named Hexagon of Success. These six strategies are based on ten years of personal experience, and Sharran’s own research into what shapes and alters trajectories of individual success. Tune-in as Sharran offers a breakdown of his Hexagon, and demonstrates how we can all use it to achieve our big, audacious goals. He’ll also explain why small objectives only lead to small accomplishments, and why incorporating a “goal review” into your daily ritual is the MOST important strategy for success anyone can have.
3 Key Points
- Don’t set small goals—set the biggest and most audacious goals you can think of, and then set your sights on that!
- The Hexagon of Success is interconnected; taking one step makes each step more actionable and attainable.
- Review your goals DAILY, and make those adjustments that will set you up for success tomorrow.
