Are You Setting High

Enough Goals?

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Last time out, we talked about taking action. Today we’ll talking about planning for that action and having

proper goals.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

The fact is, action is great. Nothing happens without it.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

But just blindly taking action probably won’t get you to

where you want to be.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

After all, a ship taking the action of sailing, but doing so without a course, isn’t

really getting anywhere, is it?

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

That said, you need a plan of action, and you need

proper goals.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Yesterday, I quoted Johann Wolfgang von Goethe on

taking action:

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. ”

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Today, I’ll quote him on goals (obviously I’m a fan of

his quotes):

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

Boldness has genius, magic and power.”

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

The key here is to be bold with your goals. To steal a little from Napoleon Hill, “whatever the mind can

conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

And it’s true.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

In that vein, Hill also says that you wouldn’t desire

things you couldn’t achieve or obtain.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

With that, most people actually set their goals too low, instead of the common

misconception of people setting goals that are too

high.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

I remember when I was a kid and my feet were

growing constantly and I was always ripping through

socks.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

I remember thinking that my “problem” would be

solved if I only worse sock one time and then discarded them.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Because of that, I set a goal of having enough money to buy enough socks to never wear the same one twice.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Being young and naive, I guess I thought socks were

expensive.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

The point though is this:

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

If I would have stuck with that goal of having enough money to buy enough socks

to never wear any more than once…

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

I would have been happy working at a sweatshop.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Doing that would have given me more than enough resources to attain my goal.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

The goal obviously was not set high enough.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Now luckily, I adjusted my goals. And as they say, the

rest is history.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

The question is: have you set high enough goals in

your business?

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Are you striving to reach your goals, sometimes even coming up short? Or are you

coasting to your business goals, having set them too

low?

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

Remember, it’s always better to shoot for the stars.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

This way, if you fall short, you’ll at least get to the

moon.

Are You Setting High Enough Goals?

After all, a mediocre goal–at best and when reached–

leaves you with mediocrity. And a mediocre goal not reached leaves you with

pretty much nothing.

Until Next Time…

Until then,
