Hitesh Gorantla's Key Ideas from The Motivation Myth
by Jeff Haden

“You get to choose your goal—but after that, what you want to do is irrelevant. What matters is what you need to do to achieve your goal”.

Many of us have the misconception that it is our goal that determines our process. That isn’t true.  Instead, the process you chose determines whether or not you will succeed in achieving your goals. The process is more like what you need to do to succeed. 

“Work too hard on one area of your business and other areas suffer. Work too hard on any one aspect of your life and other aspects suffer”.

It is important to have multiple goals in both your personal and financial life if you desire to succeed and to be happy. Do not allow room for regrets by not exploiting your skills and taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way just because you want to be seen as a highly specialized individual. You need to set the best goals that can benefit you on multiple levels, resulting in happiness. This will also eliminate the pain of regrets in life.

Let’s do so in a way that helps you develop an attribute most people feel they struggle with - willpower - and, in the process, make willpower irrelevant.
