Many people struggle with goals because they set ones that are too small. They fail to reach these minor goals and then question why they should go for bigger, more ambitious goals.

The issue is that folks end up giving up on small, easily attainable goals while also avoiding the bigger ones that are achievable with more effort. But setting bigger goals can actually help you succeed because they push and challenge you more. While small sub-goals are useful for hitting your main goals, just having a list of minor tasks doesn’t really get you anywhere.

It’s time to think bigger and smarter. Think big, but have a logical plan to achieve it. Everyone wants to be a millionaire, but how will you attain that by continuing what you are currently doing? What is your detailed action plan to reach that big, intimidating goal?

Break down your big goal into manageable steps that are less daunting but keep you focused on the overall objective. This way, your big goals are made up of smaller, actionable tasks. They act as stepping stones toward your ultimate aim. These could be simple daily goals that contribute to your overall success.

Achieving your goals takes consistent daily effort, even if it involves habits you may not enjoy. If you want to change your life, daily dedication is crucial.

To reach these big goals, consider a tactic from Tim Ferriss’s “The Four Hour Workweek.” He suggests setting just two critically important goals each day. Write them down, fold the paper, and keep it in your pocket. Focus on these two tasks to stay on track toward your larger goals.

This method has worked for Tim Ferriss and can work for us too. It keeps you focused on your big, daunting goals. Keep pushing towards your big goals using these straightforward tactics.

As Les Brown said, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars.” Isn’t that better than staying on the ground?
