Brian Kaskavalciyan dreamed of being drafted into professional baseball, but achieving it taught him that aiming higher pushes you farther. He calls it "ordering from the universe": clarity about what you want matters more than you think, whether in baseball or business.
I realized when it comes to goal setting, set your goals a little higher. I had a dream when I was little to get drafted to play professional baseball.
Little did I know you can get drafted and not play professional baseball. So I achieved my goal. So the first thing I learned was set your goals higher because then you'll make it farther.
And with more clarity. Correct. We talk a lot about clarity at The Wealthy Contractor. You've got to be really clear about what you order from the universe. But go on.
Be abundantly specific when you're making your goals. Uh, otherwise you'll get the vague result that you're shooting for. The other thing I struggled for a long time with identity, because I always identified as a baseball player. So it took me a really long time to get past the idea that there was life after baseball, that there was another path that I could make to be successful. I did think for a very long time that after baseball was done, that that was my path. I missed my chance. And now I have to settle into this middle-class life. Little did I know that the construction world can be very fruitful as well. And my wife and I have taken a lot of what we've learned from our mindset coach and really built a business and really fixed our brains to, to really think bigger, to think clearer, and to set very specific goals like we talked about.
