About The Game
Producing Extraordinary Results
The Game is about habitually stretching beyond known limits
In The Game, players are trained to create challenges that stretch them beyond their comfort zone, effectively blocking the all-too-familiar ‘path of least resistance’. By applying the ingredients of a Game-a 90-day deadline, rules, prizes, consequences, and accountability-they are forced to design habits that allow them to meet those challenges, often producing extraordinary results that have the impact of a lifetime, in any area of life they should choose.
Plus, between now and the end of 2003, we’ll be rolling out new functionality for the site that will let you track points online, find partners with similar interests via a search engine, and even let other people view your Game!
How It Works
Accountability and fun are keys to success
Once players have written down their purpose for living, created stretch goals that are consistent with that purpose, and then promise to achieve those goals in 90 days or face self-imposed consequences, The Game begins. In partnership with at least one other person and quite often a team, players in The Game create a set of goals in three to five areas of life, as well as prizes and consequences for each Game area. Daily and weekly practices (habits) are then designed to forward the goals. Designed to be ‘mini-challenges’, these practices form the foundation for a scoreboard that partners can use as an indicator of a teammate’s success. In daily partner calls, players challenge each other and compete in ways that can actually support both players.
The result is a potent combination of accountability, execution, and fun that allows a person to fully meet true challenges of their own making, produce fulfilling results, and ignite their full potential.
