If you’ve been reading tons of self-help books, you probably have long lists of goals on pieces of paper all over your home. And after all, that’s what these books advocate!
“You need goals” is really all they say. And you need to write them down you need to read them every single day you need at least a hundred! Not.
A lot of these books also tell you that you need to break down each of your major goals down into sub-goals. So now you’ve used up an entire ream of paper and list as a goal every single thing you ever hope to have, become, or accomplish. You’ve categorized and catalogued this unwieldy mass of goals into career, family, relationships, health, exercise and diet, leisure, income, savings, and investments and wealth.
You’ve listed the car you want, the house, the dream job, the perfect physical shape, the vacations, the business you’re going to start.
But how many of these goals have you actually achieved?
How many do you think youll realistically achieve in the future?
And what has this MASSIVE goal-writing exercise ever brought you except writer’s cramp, and an increasing sense of personal failure?
Obviously your goal setting mania hasn’t yielded much, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this article. So here’s what I want you to do: Take all your goals and toss them in the garbage. That’s right, in the garbage! The truth is this rich Idiots don’t have lists and lists of goals. Rich Idiots only have one goal, but it’s a very BIG goal that they work on every single day. If you put in the time and effort, the rewards can be great. Thing Big!
