An interesting story was told by a woman entrepreneur who started a very successful weight loss club in competition to the more famous Weight Watchers.
She set up her office in the garage of her home. That’s where she tested and assembled her product line of diet foods and supplements and planned her marketing strategy.
Her weight loss club grew into a huge organization with the additional income of product sales in supermarkets. During an interview for a program on successful women she said that if she had known how big her organization would become, she would not have had the courage to start it.
She did not set out to create a huge company, she started with an idea and with small steps it became what it is today.
All too often we set our goals to be so large we fail at them because we lose courage. When we decide that we need to lose weight, we don’t set a realistic goal, we want to immediately get rid of all the excess weight. The fact that it might have taken ten years to creep up on us is forgotten. We want to get rid of it in a month. When that doesn’t happen we give up.
We want to go back to University to get a degree to help with our career and we give up after a few months. It wasn’t supposed to take that long and be so much work.
That’s how our goal setting fails us.
Break up your goals into small bite size pieces. Make them smaller and easier to achieve. Being able to easily attain many small successes will more easily encourage you to keep going to reach the bigger goal at the end of the road.
