http://kevinoefelein.com Yesterday, we talked about taking action. Today we’ll talking about planning for that action and having proper goals. The fact is, action is great. Nothing happens without it. But just blindly taking action probably won’t get you to where you want to be. A ship taking the action of sailing, but doing so without a course, isn’t really getting anywhere, is it? That said, you need a plan of action, and you need proper goals. Yesterday, I quoted Johann Wolfgang von Goethe on taking action: “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. ” Today, I’ll quote him on goals (obviously I’m a fan of his): “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power.” 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.” And it’s true. In that vein, Hill also says that you wouldn’t desire things you couldn’t achieve or obtain. With that, most people set their goals too low, instead of the common misconception of people setting goals that are too high. I remember when I was a kid and my feet were growing constantly and I was alway ripping through socks. I remember thinking that my “problem” would be solved if I only worse sock one time and then discarded them. Because of that, I set a goal of having enough money to buy enough socks to never wear the same one twice. Being young and naive, I guess I thought socks were expensive. The point though is this: If I would have stuck with that goal of having enough money to buy enough socks to never wear any more than once, I would have been happy working at a sweatshop. Doing that would have given me more than enough resources to attain my goal. The goal obviously was not set high enough. And luckily, I adjusted my goals. And as they say, the rest is history. The question is: have you set high enough goals in your business? 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? Remember, it’s always better to shoot for the stars. This way, if you fall short, you’ll at least get to the moon. 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.
