Getting From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be

Discovering your true motivation is the key to setting, pursuing, and achieving goals. Today, we'll focus on uncovering your "big why" - the reason that truly matters to you. I'll share strategies, questions, and examples that have helped others find clarity in their own unique motivations. But first, let's address common excuses for not setting clear goals. Can you relate to any of these?

" I just haven't gotten around to it."

" I tried, and goal setting doesn't work for me."

" What if I fail?"

" It's all right here in my head."

" Life is good."

Now that we’ve dealt with all the major excuses, let’s look briefly at the other side of the equation. Let’s talk for just a moment about the reasons why you should set goals.

  • It works!
  • It helps you build your "I".
  • It helps you clarify your priorities.
  • It gives you both passion and persistence
  • It makes you more aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
  • It makes you more accountable to yourself and others.
  • It motivates you to strive for higher and higher levels of success. 

" The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it's too low and we reach it." - Attributed to Michelangelo
