Tell people your goal, and you become accountable for making it happen.
Summary
Audacious, specific, challenging goals create the momentum that carries you through the hard days, but only if you tell someone.
Insight
Running SIX marathons in 6 days in the Simpson Desert was a bonkers goal that I declared publicly before I did it. Then I did the same with TEN ultra-marathons in 10 years. Then again, announcing a goal to run 100km in one day. Each time I told people about a goal, I did it. Goals and dreams that stay internal (and I’ve had a few of those too) lack oxygen. Unspoken, they rarely attract support, and very often they’ll fade and die.
