Episode 203: Your Future Self Blueprint with Darrin Johnson
Description
Stop setting goals the wrong way. In this game-changing episode, I reveal what’s really holding you back—and introduce a completely different approach backed by cutting-edge psychology.
Discover the revolutionary concept that you're not driven by your past—you're pulled forward by your vision of your Future Self. Learn how to escape "The Excellence Trap" that keeps high performers stuck, master the 5-Step Back to the Future Blueprint to reverse engineer your ideal life, and understand why being good at everything prevents you from being great at what matters most.
I share personal stories from my own transformation, tactical exercises you can do today, and the research-backed strategies that have helped thousands of high achievers design their Future Self and close the gap between who they are and who they're becoming.
Key Takeaways:
- Why your "self-image cruise control" is sabotaging your progress
- The 10-Year Telescope strategy to get radically specific about your future
- How to reclaim 10+ hours per week by eliminating what your Future Self would never tolerate
- The identity-first approach that makes your behaviors automatically align with your goals
