Why intention Is More Effective Than Traditional Goal Setting with Paul Davis
Doug interviews Paul Davis, a business growth consultant and author of "Genius Unlocked." Paul shares his methodology for finding life purpose, challenging popular concepts like ‘start with why’ and passion based approaches. He explains his four-element framework and advocates using intentions instead of goals and shares stories about achieving targets through rewards like biplane wing walks. The conversation covers why conventional advice about purpose may be flawed and how to align with your true mission in life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Use intentions instead of goals, intentions create stronger commitment and act as a contract with yourself and the universe beyond the usual goal setting.
• Your true purpose is set from birth and never changes, though it develops and evolves throughout your lifetime.
• Passions are temporary and the word means to suffer. Focus on what provides lasting fulfilment through your core drivers.
• Universe operates a three-stage warning system: Gentle nudges (feathers), then setbacks (bricks), finally major disruptions (trucks) guide you toward your purpose.
• Four elements define your genius, inspiration (divine guidance), quest (life mission), drivers (fulfilment sources), and role (natural archetype) work together.
• Avoid planning the "how" and instead set clear intentions but let inspiration and opportunities guide your path rather than forcing detailed plans.
• People make decisions based on personal benefit, not company purpose or brand mission statements which is why the ‘start with why’ philosophy is so flawed.
• Track both current and completed intentions. Use systems like Trello to monitor progress and maintain motivation through visible achievement records.
BEST MOMENTS
"Every single human being will only do something when they perceive that there's more benefits than drawbacks to themselves."
"Your quest is not enjoyable. Believe me, your quest is not enjoyable, but that's your mission to achieve."
"The feather are those gentle nudges that you get from the unconscious and everybody gets them... That's your unconscious.”
