Melvin Feller MA Discusses Reasons Why Should Choose Your Goals Wisely
Melvin Feller MA Discusses Reasons Why Should Choose Your Goals Wisely
According to Melvin Feller most, entrepreneurs do not like to set like to goals. Melvin Feller suggests that a smarter move would be to learn why you need to consider your goals carefully. This can be done by carefully considering the benefits of creating a bird’s-eye-view list of goals you want to achieve from now until the rest of your life.
Therefore, Melvin Feller feels that there is no way to get somewhere if you do not know where you are going. Goals are landmarks on a map. They are direction for you to take that will benefit you once you get there.
Therefore, if you did not make your list, please stop reading now, go back, and make your list now. We will be here when you get back….
OK, now that you have your long list of goals, the next step in the process is choosing which ones are most important. Do not neglect this step! Most people can focus and achieve one major goal per year. I will show you how you can do more than one, but you still need to choose your top 5 or 10 goals for the next year.
People who never make a choice end up failing.
Why?
Because there is no focus.
Imagine you wanted to cut a piece of wood in half. You have three tools to choose from a baseball bat, a steel rod, or a razor sharp cutting saw. What tool would you choose? The saw of course!
Why? Because the saw’s focus is on one thing and one thing only — efficient cutting. The baseball bat drawn across wood is not focused on a single point; it is too wide to cut anything. The same thing is true with a steel rod.
Therefore, by choosing your topmost goals and especially your #1 goal is the most important. It gives you focus. It gives you direction. Additionally, it gives you a strong purpose to shoot for.
Have you ever heard of people getting depressed because they feel they do not have a purpose or direction? Having a major goal — something to work toward is liberating and creates feelings of happiness and well being.
How to choose your top goals
At first glance, it may seem very simple to choose your top goal(s) — but not so fast. There is a VERY Important thought for you to consider. That is how you will follow through on your choice.
You must choose a goal you will enjoy following through on until it is complete. Let me give you an example of how most people get this wrong.
Many of my clients just pick something like “To have an extra $30,000 in the bank.” While that goal is inspiring for some people. It does not inspire everyone. For someone like me, I do not like shooting for a piece of paper (i.e. a bank statement with the number 30,000 on it). I will get bored within the first week. Instead, what makes more sense is to use a goal that eventually leads to a $30,000 payday. A goal like starting a home business gets the $30,000 done but in a much more fun way. Does this make sense?
I recommend people choose a goal that involves action and interest. A goal to lose 10 lbs. does not thrill me to death. However, a go from the couch to a 5k run sounds exciting. Losing 10 lbs. becomes a by-product of running a 5k.
Choosing the right top goal does involve some soul searching. However, it is worth every minute.
Be wise. Select an inspiring, exciting and fun top goal and you will get it done.
