One proven way to reach your goal 49% faster
Good morning! It’s Sunday, June 29. Welcome to One Minute Weekend.
Most people don’t fail to reach their goals because they lack ambition.
They fail because they don’t know how to create the right conditions.
The right energy.
The right rhythm.
The right mental state.
When I started training for flow, everything changed.
Suddenly, the work didn’t feel so hard.
The progress didn’t feel so slow.
And today I want to show you what that looks like in real life, with one of the wildest transformation stories I’ve ever seen.
Have you heard of MrBeast?
I had, but I’ve never seen a video of his until a friend sent me this one where he gave one man a nearly impossible challenge.
Lose 100 pounds, in 365 days and win $250,000.
That man’s name is Majd.
And he didn’t just accept the challenge.
He crushed it.
But here’s the wild part:
He didn’t take a year.
He hit the goal on Day 178.
That’s 187 days early.
That’s less than 49% of the time he was given.
So what happened?
Majd wasn’t perfect.
He wasn’t shredded.
He wasn’t born an athlete.
What he did do was build the right system.
He created an environment that forced focus.
He aligned his actions with a higher purpose.
And most importantly, he stayed in flow.
So how did he do it?
He tapped into what I call Flow Dynamics.
A framework for building momentum and reaching goals with less resistance, more rhythm and more consistency.
It’s not about motivation. Motivation gets you no where.
It’s about designing your life to create the conditions for flow, so completing the goal becomes inevitable.
Here are the Flow Dynamics I saw at play in Majd’s transformation:
🔭 High Hard Goal
He had a goal big enough to scare him:
Lose 100 lbs. Win $250,000.
Big goals (usually with 1-5 year timelines) like this trigger focus and drive when they’re clear and meaningful.
🎯 Micro Goals
Every week, he broke it down into smaller actions.
Steps, reps, workouts, meals.
The big win became a series of tiny wins that stacked.
🏃♂️ Goal-Directed Actions
Every action had purpose.
He didn’t work out to burn calories.
He trained to move closer to something bigger.
When every action is a goal the brain floods with dopamine, which keeps you excited and moving froward. Almost addicted to the momentum.
🧗♂️ Challenge
His environment was designed to stretch him.
New workouts, physical tests, emotional walls.
Flow lives at the edge of your comfort zone. And when you challenge yourself every day you start to find joy in the discomfort.
🏆 Reward
It wasn’t just about the money.
He saw results.
He got stronger. People cheered.
The rewards were everywhere, and that built real energy.
The key is small rewards for real effort, not just a pat on the back for saying you’ll do a hard thing.
🔁 Habit
He trained daily. Ate intentionally. Rested with purpose.
The goal became a lifestyle, not a phase of life.
When you turn your goal into a habit, it is easier to conceive.
📡 Feedback
Weigh-ins. Physical benchmarks.
Mini-challenges with instant consequences.
He knew if he was on track or not. Every single day.
The key to maintaining momentum is placing intentional feedback loops along the way to drive you forward.
🙋♂️ Accountability
Coaches. Cameras. MrBeast.
Friends. Family. Community.
Even millions of viewers were going to be watching, cheering and supporting.
An often under utilized flow element is accountability and Majd had it baked it.
This isn’t magic. It’s basic mechanics.
When you design your goals using Flow Dynamics, you collapse the time between where you are today and the completion point.
Majd didn’t lose 100 pounds by pushing harder.
He did it by aligning his life with Flow Dynamics.
That’s the cheat code most people miss.
They set big goals, but don’t build the systems that make progress inevitable.
They rely on willpower instead of creating an environment that directs flow toward their goals.
But flow, like water in a stream, is what moves you forward.
This is so often overlooked.
So here’s a challenge for you.
Pick one goal you care about.
Maybe it’s one you’ve struggled to hit.
Or one you’ve been scared of.
And ask these questions:
Is your goal big enough to excite you (and specific enough to scare you a little)?
Have you broken your goal down into small, winnable actions you can track each week?
Do your daily actions feel like they’re pulling you toward something meaningful, or just filling time?
Do you feel challenged a little bit beyond your skills at each phase of the goal?
What rewards are you building in to celebrate effort (not just outcomes)?
How do you know if you're actually making progress (daily, weekly, monthly)? What feedback will you receive along the way?
Who’s holding you to your word when things get hard?
You don’t need a viral video crew.
You don’t need a $250,000 prize.
You just need a system that works with your biology and your ambition.
Flow isn’t just for the few.
And reaching a big meaningful goal shouldn’t be either.
There’s good news…
On Wednesday July 2nd, I’m hosting my next free Flow State Incubator where I’ll be sharing 3 core techniques to help you tap into flow on command to accomplish your biggest goals.
I’d love to share this time with you, but there are only 2 spots left. Grab one before they’re gone.
