Do you know what you want?
Do you know when you want it by?

You could of course tell me that you want a million dollars by next week, because you want to buy a nice house by the ocean. And I would say, "that's great, so what are you doing to make sure that you get your million?"

You see, most people stop there. They have no idea how they are going to get their million dollars. They're waiting for "the universe" to provide it for them.

Unless you have a plan and are willing to do something about it, you could be waiting for quite some time before you can buy your house by the sea, especially if you are waiting for great aunt dorothy to drop off the perch so you can collect your inheritance.

Goal setting isn't rocket science.

• Decide what you want;
• Work out how long it's going to take you to get it.

However, goal achieving is an entirely different thing.

• What are your reasons?
• Why do you want something?
• Do you want something so badly that you would walk over hot coals to get it?

You can visualise your nice new house on the ocean front all you like, but unless you are extremely lucky and can guarantee winning the lottery, then you had better factor some other things into your plan of action. And reasons make the difference.

Without enough reasons you won't do what you need to do in order to achieve what you say you want.

You are a dreamer, not a goal achiever.
