Reach Your Goal

Do you have the skills necessary to reach your goal? Do you have the time? Do you have the energy? Think about what’s holding you back. If nothing is standing in your way, I’d contend that your goal isn’t big enough. Think bigger, dream a little. If you have an income goal that seems well within reach, think bigger. You want your big goal to be attainable, but just out of reach. You want it to scare you a little bit.

More often than not, we have a mental block around what we can achieve. For some people, there’s never enough time. For others, they’ll never be educated enough or experienced enough. The psychological barrier stops them from moving forward. The attainable goal becomes unreachable and they decide to focus on something else like cleaning their office or tweaking their website. Unfortunately these delay tactics sabotage our future and they stifle our ability to reach our true potential.

We’ve all heard the stories of the uneducated kid that went on to be the top salesman, or the working mother raising four children while making a six figure income from two jobs. Or the serial entrepreneur that seems to have the magic touch and every project turns to gold. For these people, failure is not an option. It’s not in their vocabulary. They do not let limiting thoughts enter their mind. They have a big and very clear vision for their future and nothing is going to hold them back.
