The Burden of Big Goals
Big goals can be a heavy burden.
They don’t just weigh you down.
They reduce your speed.
They suck the enthusiasm out of living.
They make you frustrated.
They make you feel that you’ll never get there.
Smaller goals are light and fun.
They increase your speed of accomplishment.
They increase how quickly you learn.
They increase enthusiasm and excitement.
They build confidence.
They build momentum toward increasingly bigger goals.
We’re told to set big goals.
This works for 1% or less of the people.
What about the 99% remaining?
I’m one of the 99%. I used to set gigantic goals. Sometimes it worked. Most of the time it failed.
I switched gears when I realized that I could accomplish the impossible and improbable by having much smaller goals. As a result I accomplished so much more than I previously imagined.
And what’s startling is that this approach put me into the 1% in several categories.
Want to know how I do it?
If you’re in the 1% – you probably don’t. You’re too good for this method.
But if you’re in the 99% and want to know how to get into the 1% – I suggest you read a book that may be searching for you.
It’s called Enter the Zen Zone.
It’s not about becoming a Zen Buddhist, or anything along those lines.
It’s about getting into the 1% by using a small steps approach to accomplishing goals.
I use this approach every day and I get more done now than I ever did before.
This approach came to me – it called out to me. It searched for me and found me when I was in the depths of despair – frustrated with my failures and defeats.
If you’re in the 99%, I’m betting that what I learned is searching for you, too.
The 1% don’t need this book. They’re already too good for it. They look down their noses at it – and they hope you will, too – because then you’ll never rise above where you are now.
The 1% don’t want you to know that the think big approach that they supposedly use doesn’t work for the 99%. It’s a trap. And they themselves know how to avoid it.
The think smaller approach will shock you out of your shoes. It’ll help you rise higher – way higher than the shoes you are now wearing.
The question is: Are you ready for Enter the Zen Zone and all the benefits it will bring your way?
Enter the Zen Zone is searching for you.
