We are now getting to the second question of the 3MIQ framework, which is essentially:

To be the person who has all this magnificent experiences, How do I need to grow?

Let´s get into it!

Today at a glance:

• There are three main categories or ‘buckets’ that are the core of life success or happiness: Experiences, Growth, and Contribution.

• We are now getting to the second question of the 3MIQ framework, which is essentially: To be the person who has all this magnificent experiences, How do I need to grow?

• Think about each Growth Goal as the compass that points you in the right direction to become a better version of yourself.

A Framework:

There are three main categories or ‘buckets’ that are the core of life success or happiness: Experiences, Growth, and Contribution.

Reflecting on what you really want for these 3 categories will give you a blueprint into your soul core and make you discover what it takes for you to know you truly lived life.

To be the person who has all this magnificent experiences, How do I need to grow?

Some experts says that one of the most powerful ways of living is to dedicate your life to this number one thing: Personal Growth

This way, if your business, project or any type of goal fails, it does not matter. The only thing that matters is, did you grow?

If your business withs a billion dollars of revenue, if you closed your project, if you achieve your goal, it does not matter. The only thing that matters is, did you grow?

This must be your #1 objective. And everything else in your life will grow with you. Anything else will get better and better.

This is one of the reasons I´d rather focus in building more personal growth tools for you instead of just focusing on productivity tools. This is my way of getting the best possible outcome from this adventure with you.

I really want you to grow so fast, that the friends that lose track of you just one month, have to know you all over again.

How to start building a Personal Growth Habit?

You just need to go through these 3 steps:

1. Set aside 30 daily minutes starting tomorrow (Schedule a reminder in your phone now!)

2. Take any course, read any book, meditate, work out. Choose any option that is more of your interest (Do it now! Do not take too much time, it is more important to just start)

3. Repeat.

I can explain this with one example.

Let´s say the experience you want is to travel through Asia.

• You might want to learn business automation skills to be able to separate yourself from your business

• You might want to learn Chinese

• You might want to learn about Asian Cultures and their History.

Think about each Growth Goal as the compass that points you in the right direction to become a better version of yourself.

It is time!

Get yourself comfortable, set a timer to 5 minutes, put on some relaxing music, and write from your heart, without questioning yourself a lot. Jot down anything you’d like to develop in your life.

The Areas of Growth:

1. Intellectual

2. Spiritual

3. Health and Fitness

4. Career

Guiding Questions:

• How would you like to develop yourself? Think about your intellectual life, for instance.

• What skills would you like to obtain?

• How do you want to deal with stressful events in your life?

• What languages would you want to master?

• What character traits do you admire in others, and which would you like to master?

• How do you want to show up in social situations?

• What are your health and fitness goals?

• How long would you like to live?

• How would you like to feel, and what would you like to be able to do in your old age?

• Is there a particular aspect of your spiritual life that you’d like to dive deeper into?

Next week we are going to dive in the third and final question: Contribution

And do not forget to celebrate what you have accomplished so far in your life!

Bamboo takes ups up to 5 years to develop its roots. For years, no visible progress has been made. Meanwhile, the bamboo grows below the surface. Then, all at once, it starts to grow. Takeaway: Everyone wants the results. No one wants the process that leads to them.
