Micro Goals = Micro wins

Related image






So I set a goal that I want to have £1,000,000 by the time I am 40 years that is in 7 years. The reaction I get when I mention this is pure disbelief and shock. People just ask how is that possible?

 We have been conditioned to not expect such financial results. We are conditioned to go to school get a degree and get into professional jobs and then work our way up the corporate ladder.
This path while noble does not give the assurance of wealth but mainly of sustenance.

What if I told you that to achieve £1,000,0000 in 7 years you need to earn £142,875.14 per year(disregard living expense) what if I broke this down further by saying this translates to £391.40 per day based on a 365 day year. 

Suddenly the figure £1,000,000 does not look that scary anymore. My focus then is not £1,000,000 but on £391.40. I still haven't figured it out yet but it is certainly not as daunting. 

MICRO GOALS = MICRO WINS

We need to have a bigger picture of what our goals are but, in doing so we also have to set smaller goals which act as a road map towards us achieving our main goals. When we are able to set these micro goals it makes the task of achieving our main goal look more possible.

When we set micro goals we are also creating room for micro wins. Anytime we achieve our micro goals it is time to celebrate that win as this will empower us to strive towards the next micro goal.

My questions for you are; What goals have you set for the future? What micro goals represent significant steps towards your main goal? 

Set deadlines for your micro goals and empower yourself with all the tools necessary to achieve these goals and put them to work setting a clear time block for achieving them.

Get to work and see you at the top.

Work Smarter, Not Harder: 21 Time Management Tips to Hack Productivity

Image
By  Jordan Bates   Synopsis “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” ― H. Jackson Brown Jr. A lot of folks in our society try to be hyper-productive. You know — the people who scurry from task to task, always checking e-mail, organizing something, making a call, running an errand, etc. The people who do this often subscribe to the idea that “staying busy” means you’re working hard and are going to be more successful. While this belief may be true to an extent, it often leads to mindless “productivity” — a constant need to do something and a tendency to waste time on menial tasks. Instead of behaving in this way, I choose to do things differently. Working Smarter, Not Harder The old adage, “work smarter, not harder” has become a staple in the way I go about work of an...

We Should Admire Success, Whether It’s Ours or Somebody Else’s by Paul June

Did someone change the dictionary and not bother to tell me? Methinks so, because “success” seems to have become a four-letter word overnight. When I was growing up (you know, back in the day when we had to walk 20 miles to school, uphill both ways), success was something to be admired, something to strive for. But now, success seems to be something to view with contempt and scorn, as though someone else’s success must have happened at the expense of your good fortune (or someone else’s). Sure, there are some bad apples out there, but the good outweigh the bad by far. Success should be celebrated, admired, honored.  Why?  When someone gets a bonus at work, or some other form of recognition, are you happy for him or her—even when you get no such recognition? Or do you become overwhelmed with the feeling of sour grapes  (or bananas) , wishing it was you in the spotlight? What about when a family member or friend is the center of attention at your latest gatherin...
