Goal Setting - Why Goal Setting Is Way Overrated?

Goal setting: we hear about it all the time, does it bore you or does it bore you? Let me put it on the record that, there is nothing wrong with goal setting! It is the way most people set goals or the way most gurus teach about goal setting that is the real problem. Just ask yourself honestly, when was the last time you set a goal & achieved it on time? Most people cannot recall!

There are just too many ways to set goals, there are even so many software out there that claims to help you set goals.

From personal experience when working with others, many people say they want to set goals, guess what? They end up writing a super long to-do list which can never be completed! A long incomplete to-do list, that sure is discouraging to most people. There are some people who set really simple goals, such as short term goals, mid term goals & long term goals. They believe in set & forget.

After setting, they forget & guess what, nothing gets done, nothing is being achieved! I also came across another group of people, they set a bunch of ridiculous hard to achieve goals with no plans on how to achieve it.

They then walk away disappointed, saying that goal setting does not work. Goal setting does work but you need to set it in a way that suits your personal style, forget about what the self improvement gurus say, listen to your heart.

Have a step by step process & a systematic plan so that you can track your progress. Know that success is a journey, not just a destination or a goal. Ancient Success Secrets Revealed: Sun Tzu’s Art of War
