SUCCESS IS A NUMBERS GAME: ACHIEVE BIGGER GOALS BY CHANGING THE ODDS

About this episode

Kyle Austin Young discusses how understanding the probabilities of success and failure can help achieve bigger goals.

Every goal that you're pursuing has two hidden numbers attached to it—a probability of success and a probability of failure. Whether you're trying to start a business, run a marathon, get a promotion, earn a pilot's license, grow a bumper crop of tomatoes, or sign an acting deal, these two percentages are always lurking in the shadows predicting what is going to happen. But most of us never think about them. We assume our odds are unknowable and unchangeable. This dangerous lie leads millions of people to fail at goals where they were perfectly capable of succeeding. You can choose a smarter path. Author Kyle Austin Young joins Justin to discuss his new bestselling book.
