John set an incredibly lame goal. A number in a bank account? That's about as inspiring as a doorknob. Those kinds of goals sell a lot of info products, but that's about it.
I have more than $50K in my bank account right now, but I didn't get it by setting a goal to make $50K. I got there by realizing that $50K is a stupid, pointless goal. Instead I set goals I found really inspiring and interesting, and $50K+ flowed into my bank account as a matter of following that bigger, more interesting goal. But whether it's $5K, $50K, or $500K is of little consequence. If the goal doesn't inspire you to action, it's a dud.
What kind of goal would you die to achieve? I guarantee it isn't a number in a bank account. If you wouldn't die for it, then you won't live for it either. |
