Goal Setter Blog

The problem stems from having only one goal and not having achieved results through a goal setting program before.

Having several goals forces you to keep them in balance. It also requires that you prioritise what is an urgent need as opposed to what is a very important goal although you are quite aware it might take five years to get there...

If you have never reaped the fruits of a goal setting system before, you are in the dark as to how achievable a given goal might be. Likewise you have no tract record to estimate your own resilience. You have never trained yourself before to the discipline of keeping several balls in the air and performing a good juggling act.

Achievers are made not born. It is better to start small with something which has a fair chance of success but with a resolution path not the least straightforward.

Being obsessed with your goal is not good. Instead you should have a serene confidence that you will get there even though - right now you would be at a loss to explain to someone how you are going to get there.

Reaching a worthwhile goal is a bit like writing your own map because nobody has done that journey before.

You will learn how to pace yourself and take a day of rest once a week. Your make up as a human being demands it. Just like someone deprived of sleep becomes a zombie within 3 days, someone who does not know how to take a day off and put one's mind into neutral will fail simply because it is mentally unsustainable.

Have you heard the colloquial phrase: "I will sleep on it!" there is a lot of wisdom in doing so. Scores of entrepreneurs will gladly acknowledge that their most brilliant ideas came after a time of relaxation or after a good night sleep while having a shower...

So here is the challenge: the more you grit your teeth and aim to get there by hook or by crook the more the chances you will simply fail... sobering thought isn't it?
