Amplify, Simplify, Multiply

Amplify your goals.

Simplify the plan to getting there.

Multiply the effort you put in.

Every single one of my ideas in goal setting fits into those three categories.

I live by it.

In 2017 I went on holiday to Bora Bora for a week – while I was a student.

Amplify the Goal ✅

My travel agent told me it would cost more than a trip to Europe (I'm on the other side of the world) and people only go there on their honeymoon, and there was no way I could afford it. Challenge accepted.

Simplify the Plan ✅

I created a list of 10 different ways to get there on a student budget.

Winning lotto was on the list 😂

And getting a job in Bora Bora was on the list.

And winning flights.

In the end, the simplest plan was to scour the internet for ridiculous deals.

I spent 3 weeks choosing the cheapest flights.

Multiply the Effort ✅

We had two pieces of carry-on luggage. One, we filled with clothes. The other, we filled with two-minute noodles. I'm 100% serious. We ate them for dinner every day to save money. (Hey – we were students, so we were used to it – and they taste a lot better when you’re lying on a beach in the south pacific).


We stalked google maps for local food options and found a corner shop that sold 30c baguettes.

We went in off-peak season.

We stayed in a normal hotel – on land, rather than over water. They don't advertise those, but if you're on a mission, you can find them. It was just as luxurious. And we saved $10,000.

So make your goal bigger.

Make it simpler.

Put in more effort.

So ridiculously worth it.
