How Goals Really Work

What this episode covers

Do you often find yourself setting grand, ambitious goals, only to never find yourself achieving them? Join Neil today as he explains why setting goals is a biological process and to understand goals, you need to understand yourself. Neil shares his secret to achieving your dreams and how slow, measurable steps will set you on your journey to success.   KEY TAKEAWAYS To set goals it is important to understand what a goal is. A goal is a desired future state, situation or outcome. Whilst it is good to know what you want, you need to be more specific by creating a timeline and making them actionable. Goals have many levels at the top of the goal tree are your vision goals which are long term. These are what you ultimately want however they are so far out that they may seem intangible and it may be hard to believe in them. Often we make them vague and fuzzy which mean we cannot connect to them. Outcome goals are the big milestones on the way to your vision goals. Their results are processes and they are tangible. They are also specific and measurable. It may be something like going on a cruise, making your first million or buying your first investment property. Objective goals are smaller milestones that run over a shorter term. They are still taking you in the direction that you want to go and are the building blocks of your outcome goals. These projects move you forward and are things such as writing a new book, completing another song or saving 20% of your income. Next are personal performance goals which are about expanding and growing your skills. Things such as receiving a degree or even just taking up healthy practices and building up a great body. These are short term and always seem a bit more achievable. The process goals are your daily deeds goals. These are the right actions that you need to hit your performance and project goals. Ask yourself today what you can do to move in the right direction to achieve these goals.   BEST MOMENTS “They’re milestones.
