“You need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You must develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. Try to do things that you’re incapable of... If you think you’re incapable of running a company, make that your aim... Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.”
An Impossible List was an idea that I "borrowed" from Joel Runyon. Rather than the traditional resolutions, I create a list of challenges that I hope to achieve during the upcoming year. These tasks are purposely hard almost impossible. If I accomplish everything on the list, my life will be purposefully dramatically different then the one sitting here. But its up to me putting in the work.
