Reading Time: Long-form Postcard (54 seconds)

Happy Friday, Reader!

These EBMers*, Class of 2026, have smoke coming out of my ears in the best possible way. So much strategy. So much eating. I have a food baby named Pork Chop courtesy of our friends at Perry's Steakhouse.

Anyway.

Today's our last day of strategizing and yes, once again, I'm going to talk about BHAGs**, but not in the way you might think.

Every person in this year's class is a returning veteran. And each one set goals at least a year ago, some more than three years ago, and to their amazement (and a hair flip from me), they've exceeded those goals.

One returning veteran now makes more in some weeks than he used to make in a year. Just for starters.

Email from a reader: Honorée, give me an example of a BHAG. Help me out.

I know, it helps me to get some inside baseball from time-to-time, too.

Let's go back to the beginning--my first BHAG was to turn $8,000 made over several years into making $8,000 per month ($8,333 specifically, or $100,000 per year), just from book sales.

If you're new, you might not know I didn't go to school to be a writer, have never taken a (formal) writing class, nor have I wanted to be a writer since I was a kid. I'm an accidental "authorpreneur." (Said another way, if I can do it, so can you. Cue the hard work.)

Through a turn of events that would take up too much space in your inbox and don't matter, I received a direct deposit for just over $8,000 and it made me realize if I could crack the code, I could probably make some serious cash as a writer. So that was my first BHAG, and I gave myself five years (I achieved it in three ... slow learner + no real mentor = painful progress.)

It's your turn: set a goal that you think would be downright nearly impossible, and then imagine what your life would be like it you achieved it. Write it down. This is your new BHAG.

My book, Vision to Reality (2nd Edition) can help you achieve it (and more), one day, and 100-days, at a time. Grab it here https://amzn.to/4oPum6Z

I'll see you tomorrow.

**BHAG: Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal. Makes you nauseous to think about going for it (you might fail), and it takes your breath away to imagine what it will be like when you actually do!
