The Three Stages of a Goal

from With Winning In Mind · host Troy Bassham, Lanny Bassham

The discussion focuses on the three stages of achieving big goals: attraction, distraction, and traction. Lanny, a mental management expert, shares his experience of losing 40% of his income after 9/11 and transitioning to an online business. He characterizes the attraction stage as concentrating on benefits, distraction as fixating on costs, and traction as emphasizing personal change. Lanny stresses the importance of overcoming distraction by adapting and maintaining a forward-thinking mindset. He also underscores the inspirational story of Karoly Takacs, a Hungarian pistol shooter who overcame a hand injury to win Olympic gold, illustrating the resilience required for big goals.
