People often underestimated the importance of goal setting, don’t be one of them. Wouldn’t it be great if you were handed a map that CLEARLY illustrates where you can find buried treasure? Well, start goal setting and you’ll have the equivalent. When you set CLEAR, SPECIFIC goals, you become excited by knowing EXACTLY how to get to the treasure!…

Meaning, all you have to do is follow the map!

What’s that? “goal setting is hard”, did I hear you say?…

Yeah I know, it can be, but as soon as you make it a habit, you’ll become better and better at it, on top of that, you’ll no long see goal setting as such a chore. It’s just one of life’s designs, have you noticed everything worthwhile achieving, ISN’T easy! I actually like when things are hard because it makes me feel that I’m on the right track, and I’m certainly weary of anything that’s TOO easy.

The majority of people on this planet DON’T set goals, and guess what?… the majority of people’s life’s AREN’T where they want it to be. So let me give you a tip…

A good rule of thumb is, to use the ‘majority’ as a CONTRARY. So, if the majority don’t support goal setting, you do the OPPOSITE!

In short, if you want to have the best possible chance of making a success of your life, you really should set goals, but…

Do you know what you want to be successful at?

LET’S GET IT IN PERSPECTIVE

It should be obvious by now, I’m all for goal setting. However, it’s important that your goal setting is put into some sort of logical perspective, in other words – PRIORITISE your goals. Can you see my point? NO…

I better explain then…

Goal setting to buy a car stereo when you don’t even own a car, wouldn’t be a sensible thing to do, would it? Obviously, it makes more sense to have a car FIRST, then worry about buying a car stereo. When designing your DREAM life, you MUST put first things FIRST! What I mean is, forget about following any kind of self improvement strategies UNTIL you strengthen your foundational values…

In a nutshell, it’s incredibly important to build ROCK-SOLID foundations BEFORE you set off trying to rule the world. Please believe me, you’ll thank yourself for it, and me too, hopefully!

Moving Forward…

Any good plan, should have the following…

Obviously, it should have a goal, and where possible, this goal should be broken down into smaller goals. The goals should be clear and precise. For example, I want to own five 6 bedroom detached houses by January 1st 2020. Achieving your goals should be doable, but not necessarily easy, and should have some logic and structure to it!

Consider this…

Living a meaningful, abundant, passionate, EXTRAORDINARY life stands head and shoulders above any other goals you can set in your life. So, I suggest you focus your time and energies on that!
