You likely have a goal
that other people,
average people,
will think is impossible.
When you bring this goal up
in conversation,
people will tell you you’re crazy
and it can’t be done.
One of my friends
confessed to me
that he never shares these goals
because of the negativity
and the general lack of useful advice
he receives back.
What he DOES share
is the next smaller goal
on the road to his impossible goal.
So instead of saying
he wants to retire when he’s 40,
he says he wants to take a course
on incorporating a business.
No one will argue
that taking a course is impossible
or crazy.
People will support and encourage
this smaller goal.
Yes, sharing your goals
increases the likelihood they’ll be achieved
but sometimes your biggest goals
should be kept to yourself.
