We are taught early on that if we accomplish enough stuff, we will have the life of our dreams. Only we find that this fails to make us happy, and doesn’t fulfill our hopes. 

The art is in unlocking your joy. If you can do that, you will not only have a much more fulfilled life, you’ll accomplish much more with less effort than you ever imagined possible. —Joe 

The Art of Accomplishment is a program that invites you into a world beyond checklists and getting things done. It’s a world where your authentic life and enjoyment create an outstanding impact on yourself and the world around you.

How Do I Stop Being Misunderstood? (Coaching Session) – The Art of Accomplishment

When it comes to being understood, whose responsibility is it? What do you do when you feel misunderstood? In this episode, Joe coaches Savannah, who is grappling with feeling wilfully misunderstood by people in all areas of her life. Together with Joe, Savannah explores how state of mind, emotional content, and the desire to control an outcome—even just trying to control whether you’re being understood—impact how we are listened to and understood. She experiments with and discovers the difference between listening to and being in connection with oneself in order to express herself fully and to be understood.Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community! Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudson AOA on X: @artofaccomp Brett on X: @airkistler Visit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.com We invite you to experience our work.

My Story

My name is Tiago Forte, and I am the Founder of Forte Academy, an online school for modern professional development.

Three years ago, I walked into a weekend workshop called the Connection Course*, facilitated by Joe and his wife Tara.

I was looking for answers.

I wanted to know why despite the success I had, I still felt so dissatisfied. I wanted to know why I always felt on edge and on guard for no apparent reason. I wanted to know why I felt numb and bored anytime I wasn’t immersed in the adrenaline of working.

I had so many questions, but most of all, I was exhausted with the endless task of proving that I was good enough, capable enough, and hard-working enough to deserve success. Beneath it all, I wanted to know if there was another way.

My experience at the Connection Course* inspired me with a new vision for how business could be used to fuel spiritual awakening.

I attended the follow-up week-long course, called Ground Breakers, the next year. The personal breakthroughs I experienced in that week have been nothing short of transformational, with benefits across my work and my life. I’ve seen dramatic growth in my business, reached new creative depths, had more intimacy in my relationships with my family and friends, and developed a deeper warmth and love toward myself even when I fall short of my ambitions.

Since that experience I’ve found it far easier to be more direct with people, to be vulnerable even with those I work with, and to laugh when life inevitably messes up my plans. I feel a newfound sense of self-love and self-acceptance that frees me to strive for my dreams without beating myself up. I feel a newfound sense of purpose in my work centered on a love for my customers, for my team, and for the planet.
