89: Set Goals Towards Wealth
You don’t have to have only one single goal, but you can have many goals in live. The important thing is that they are compatible and that there is synergy between them. It can help to have an ultimate overall goal that sort of steers the ship, and helps you making sure that all the other smaller goals are compatible with that. One good way to proceed on this is to first determine the overall main goal (i.e. to become rich) and then chunk it down to sub goals that will help you reach the main goal of wealth creation. Here are three essential steps in the process of goal-determination:
1) Think about and decide on what your overall goal in life is?
2) Determine what is needed to reach this goal and how can these steps be defined as sub-goals, or smaller goals. Make sure that each of the smaller goals contribute to your overall wealth goal.
3) Establish a priority list with your smaller sub-goals, which are most important and in which order should they be executed and reached.
Whatever your sub-goals are make sure they serve you to reach the main wealth goal, because if you’re not careful, they can distract you away from it. The worst thing are contradictory goals that will cause incompatibilities in your actions and make you to spin your wheels.
You can’t focus on all of the sub-goals at the same time with the same intensity, so you must set a priority order and tackle them with laser focus one at a time.
What if there are too many things to focus on, your mind would get fogged.
Finally, put your goals on paper to get it out of your mind, so you can look at all of it objectively, without emotion.
