- [Instructor] Now it's your turn. Take a goal or an item on your to-do list, maybe it's something you haven't been able to make progress on. Invert it. Think backwards. What are the reasons you're not or you might not be able to achieve that goal? Write those reasons down. Then write out solutions to each of those specific reasons, back into the answers. And finally put it into action. Stop putting the thing off. Just go do it. I really hope you liked this lesson. I did. I'm a natural inversion thinker myself. Sort of a glass half empty guy. Thanks for listening. Now you know. (upbeat music) - [Announcer] Knowable. Now you know.
