Is goal setting really that important?... Just by simply setting goals, your brain is given the vital psychological ingredient it needs, to give you a fighting chance of achieving a successful outcome. So what is this vital ingredient?... Let me give you this quick example, you'll probably work out the answer yourself... Suppose you have a 100k debt that has to be repaid within 12 months or else your home will be repossessed. On top of this, you're broke... Repaying 100k in just 12 months is a tall order, especially when you're broke. So, what to do? Well firstly, understand that big problems are usually just a multitude of smaller, more manageable problems/tasks. With that in mind, let's make this 100k debt 'SEEM' smaller... By simply dividing 100k by the loan term, i.e. 12 months, we get £8,333.33. I don't know about you, but £8,333.33 per month, for 12 months, seems much more achievable then 100k, in 12 months. But we can make it 'seem' even smaller... The logical step down from a month, is a week. So, if we divide 100k by 52 weeks in a year, we get £1,923.08. Sounds better but we can make it 'seem' even smaller. Try £1,923.08 divided by 7 days in a week, that's £274.73. That's even better, right?... My point is this... Can you see how goal setting to make the problem 'seem' smaller, makes the problem 'seem' more doable? This is useful because without belief, your chances of a successful outcome are bleak, if not none existent!... In a sense, goal setting, in this case, is similar to 'conning' your brain into believing the problem is smaller, when in fact, it's not... THE MISSING INGREDIENT... When the path ahead isn't clear, you'll have a hard job trying to get your brain 'switched' on. As a result, the thought of emigrating will probably re-enter your head! You're probably wondering how to solve the problem of making £274.73 per day, right? To that question, I would reply, I'm just a self improvement strategist, NOT a business guru, so you're on your own there! Hopefully, you can see from this simple example how setting goals and making the problem SEEM smaller, gives your all important brain a much better chance of both comprehending, and achieving it. OK, back to your question... What question?... The question you asked me about the vital psychological ingredient your brain needs to give you a fighting chance of achieving a successful outcome. Remember?... The ingredient that is missing, is... CLARITY... You will encounter that, 'berry your head in the sand feeling' if you don't have clarity. That's why it's so, so, SO important to set your goals towards accomplishing life's many challenges. I always advise people to ha the same motto as debt consolidation companies Small, manageable, monthly repayments! THE SUCCESS RECIPE! Are you any good at cooking?
