“Just Start Walking”

Well, the new year is upon us! If you are one of my readers or you are a success newsletter member then you know that I sent out a message before the new year saying that now is the time to set goals. Well, I am here to tell you that I haven’t actually set my goals yet!

Well I have written down what I want to have as my goals but I have not worked out exactly what I need to achieve them.

Is that bad?

Well actually I don’t think so. I also don’t think I am justifying my lack of actions either.

Should I worry? No.

You see I think that much is talked about setting goals, how much time and effort you must put into them and how it’s a detailed process. That seems to be the only way you can “properly” set goals.

Well I completely disagree. Actually I think the more time you put into setting goals the less time you have to go out there and make them happen! Please don’t get me wrong here, taking time to set goals is important it’s just that many people feel that you have to spend weeks working out what you want and then what you need to do to get what you want.

I think if you need to spend all that time working out what you want you really don’t know. Also it’s better to get moving towards your goal rather than spending time thinking about how you should do it.

I think that is the right way to do it. Just start walking towards your goals. Don’t worry about the detail. You do need to know where you are going but you don’t need a detailed plan…yet.

I did a video on how you work out what you want. You can look at that goal setting video and see that you can set a goal pretty quickly.

That is the key I think. Don’t worry if you only have your goals written down but don’t have a plan. Just start walking.

The fact is you will achieve much more if you do that rather than spending time worrying about what to do next. Remember “Those who know how always work for those who know why”.

Go for your dreams and goals.
