The Problem With Chasing Dreams
Most people chase their dreams the way someone chases a cat. The faster they run, the faster it escapes. They push harder, pile on hours, and grind until exhaustion. The process is draining, and even if success comes, the cost is high.
I’ve never lived that way. Chasing isn’t my style. My approach has always been about attraction.
The Power of Belief
At sixteen, I set one of my first big goals. I wanted to be a morning show host in Los Angeles. At the time, it felt impossible—like winning the lottery. I had no connections, no roadmap, and no obvious way in.
Still, I carried the idea with me every single day. I imagined it so clearly that it felt real before it ever happened. The “how” didn’t matter. My only focus was holding the goal in my mind and believing it would happen.
Years later, it did. I was living in L.A., hosting a morning show, and even doing TV.
How Life Delivered the First Break
My first radio job is proof of how attraction works. I didn’t chase it. I didn’t claw through unpaid internships or beg for a shot.
Here’s what happened: my uncle knew a restaurant owner who happened to be dating the morning show host at the biggest station in Arizona. That one connection opened the door. Within weeks, I was on air full-time at just 18 years old.
Most people spend years grinding before they get that chance. I skipped the line because I had already set the goal, believed in it, and attracted the opportunity.
Goals Are Like Navigation
I often explain goals by comparing them to a navigation system. First, you enter the destination. After that, you trust the system to guide you. There’s no need to second-guess every turn or stress about how it works. Deep down, you already know it will get you where you want to go.
Sometimes the route is short. Other times it takes longer. You may hit detours, turns, or delays. But the system still gets you there because you set the address. Goals work the same way. Write them down, believe in them, and stay focused. The details will take care of themselves.
From Trivia Nights to Keynote Stages
This mindset has shaped every step of my career. After radio, I started hosting trivia nights a few times a week. Nothing big. Just a way to stay behind the mic.
Over time, the small gigs became something greater. I turned trivia into a product that spread from local venues to national events. Eventually, it reached international stages. I never chased bookings. I set the goal, believed it, and watched the opportunities arrive.
The same principle fueled Slowjamastan. We had no resources and no political connections. All we had was a clear goal: build a country out of thin air. Today it’s a worldwide sensation because we believed first and let the rest fall into place.
Why Chasing Fails
When you chase the cat, you waste energy and often scare it away. Attraction works the opposite way. You focus on belief, create space, and let the goal move toward you. The process feels lighter, and results come without the exhaustion.
That’s how I’ve lived my entire life. I’ve attracted every dream I’ve set. Some goals showed up quickly. Others took years. But they always arrived.
Conclusion: Goal Setting #9 Is About Attraction
Goal Setting #9 shows that chasing wears you down while attraction lifts you up. I’ve never worked hard to achieve my dreams the way most people think you have to. My strategy has always been to set the goal, think about it daily, believe in it fully, and trust the process.
Quit chasing the cat. Start attracting it. When you do, your goals won’t run from you—they’ll come straight to you.
