ROCKET Goals

Alex Hormozi has not only built several successful businesses, but has also gathered a vast online following based on his no-nonsense approach to success and entrepreneurship.

Of his many videos, How to Win (At ANYTHING) is one of his most powerful and insightful presentations. Here are Hormozi’s All Action, No Fluff Secret Guide to Reaching Your ROCKET Goals in Record Time.

1. Remember Your Future Self: Aim to Impress Future You 🌟
What would it take to make your future self proud? Instead of competing with others, the real contest is with Future You. As Hormozi puts it, “The only person that really matters is Future You.” By imagining what it would take to impress that person, you stay focused on goals that align with who you’re striving to become. Start visualizing each choice as a stepping stone toward aligning with your Future Self, making each day a vote for your ideal self.

Ask yourself: “What actions today would make Future Me look back with pride?”

2. Own Your ONE Thing: The Power of Focused Action 🎯
Ever feel like you’re running a marathon with no finish line in sight? Hormozi insists that the secret to real progress is relentless focus on doing your “ONE Thing.” To “chunk down” complex goals, break them into actionable, bite-sized steps. Simplifying tasks makes them easier to tackle and keeps you moving forward. Hormozi points out, “The less skilled you are, the more broken down the command must be.” Master your focus for taking action, and you’ll master your results. But the DOING is essential. Are you doing the things that will propel you forward?

Tip: Start each day by identifying the ONE action that propels you closest to your goal. Then DO IT right away!

3. Celebrate Change: Flip Failures into Frameworks 🔄
What if every failure actually brought you closer to success? Hormozi suggests a powerful exercise: imagine the “loser version” of yourself, the one who consistently sabotages progress. What are the things you could do that would absolutely guarantee failure? Make that list, then invert it. This powerful inversion process helps clarify what you SHOULD be working on. “The smaller the list you can make [of things to avoid], the more potent those things are,” he says. By celebrating each step away from these pitfalls, you learn what doesn’t work and refine your habits. Every small change compounds over time into big growth.

Reflect: Celebrate tiny wins, and turn every setback into a framework for improvement. Imagine your worst habits in the extreme, and then do the exact opposite!

4. Keep Kind Intentions: Patience as the Path to Growth 🌱
Do you struggle with patience when results feel far away? For Hormozi, patience is about finding meaningful actions while you wait for progress to catch up. He explains, “Patience means figuring out what to do in the meantime.” Staying kind and patient with yourself is crucial when progress seems slow. Each small action, even if it feels insignificant, compounds over time and builds resilience—a key trait in any high achiever.

Practice: When progress feels slow, focus on small, consistent actions that align with your end goal.

5. Engage with Exponential Effort: Break It Down to Build Up 🧱
Ever feel stuck in complexity? Simplify each step to keep the momentum going. Hormozi describes success as breaking goals down “to a level that you cannot fail.” Each incremental step, when repeated consistently, compounds into something much larger. Whether it’s sending a single email or making that one call, exponential effort is about building forward momentum even on low-energy days.

Strategy: Break down complex goals into micro-steps and stay consistent with your actions.

6. Transform Time with Your Team: Amplify Through Accountability 🤝
When was the last time a teammate pushed you beyond your limits? For Hormozi, the power of accountability in teams cannot be overstated. When you’re surrounded by people who share your vision, “the support of a team will keep you moving forward.” Teams not only hold each other accountable, they also magnify the momentum, helping everyone achieve more together. Leverage the synergy of a shared goal to accelerate success.

Action Step: Regularly check in with team members who can support and challenge you to stay on track.

7. Start Now: Winning Happens When You Outlast ⏳
Waiting for the right time? It’s right now! Hormozi breaks down the myth of waiting for the perfect moment: “If you’re going to change, start when you’re the busiest.” Consistency doesn’t depend on timing but on the decision to act regardless of conditions. In the end, winning isn’t about immediate results but about outlasting challenges over time. As Hormozi says, “You get more for what you put in when you stick with things longer.”

Mantra: The best time to start was yesterday; the next best is right now.

Applying these principles, Alex Hormozi's practical and hard-hitting advice aligns perfectly with the ROCKET framework, setting you on the path to not just short-term wins, but lifelong mastery.
