Goal Setting or Goal Achieving?
Today Paul gets into a deep conversation with Alex Petty about goal-setting and how this differs to goal-achieving.
Alex is saying that we all spend many years of goal-setting; goal-planning and its always set in the future (New Year's resolutions for one!). For some, this works but for Alex’s personal experience, most of us never achieve these goals we plan. We need to change our mindset so instead of just goal-setting, we Goal Achieve.
Look back at what you’ve achieved rather than forward at what you could; understand where you want to be, then looking back to see how to bring this into succession.
“If you get a piece of string and you lay it out in front of you; and you try & push it away, its just going to bunch up. So its hard work to get the string to the other side of the table. If you conversely lay the string out, go around to the other side of the table and pull it towards you; it’ll follow neatly in a straight line. So its that sort of mindset change”
-Alex Petty
