Is your goal wearing work boots or stilettos?

OMG! "I have the highest goal I think I need to reduce it there is no way I am going to reach that and it is just going to make me sad". That is what I hear day in and day out.

Firstly – If you don’t have a goal you need one. Not something you “wish” you had but something you desperately want and it lights a fire in your eyes.

Secondly – It needs to be insanely high. Everyone’s goal revolves around income of some sort BUT this goal needs to be what you want and where you need to be to make that happen.

Let’s say I own a children’s clothing boutique and I have this amazing idea to franchise my shop BUT I simply can’t afford it and I need partners to invest. THAT is a goal BUT It isn’t wearing work boots it is in stilettos. Your goal needs to be that…You want a “chain” of shops and to branch out international by next year. Can you see the difference? That goal is on steroids and will make you feel sick and your initial thought will be “nope – no way I can’t ever do that”, which some people refer to as their “inner mean girl/guy” or their subconscious mind taking over. Let me ask you – why can’t you? Why are you not deserving to have an International chain of stores?

Who cares if you don’t make it international by next year – you may have managed to find business partners and franchised 2 stores in the country. Oh gee – how terribly sad ….

My point is that you need to stretch these goals and make them so crazy that they almost seem impossible to hit. What is the worst that can happen? I promise you, it will only help you with your success. This method was taught to me by my business coach (yes I have one too – everyone needs one) and I have smashed goals ever since. I have even hit one of those goals wearing work boots NOT stilettos and have had to reset and aim higher.

This is something I teach along with goal setting in our BYS Core monthly membership group (you guys it is $29 per month…so reasonable for what you get) so CLICK HERE to see the inclusions if you are ready to make goals on steroids with me (but legally!!)
