How big should your goals be?

How big should your goals be?

Consider:

1) In Thursday’s mastermind group session this came up in one of our breakout rooms as we worked through a goal setting Clarity Tool

One member (A) had set a one-year goal to be at X revenue/month

His partners in the group started "poking holes" as we call it, challenging him to think bigger

One (B) said that about 2X/month was doable

The other (C) said, "I was thinking 2.5X!'

When I chatted with A afterwards his mind was swimming

(paraphrasing here:) "I thought that X was a big goal, and then they pushed me to double, almost triple that!"

I told him that he's got some work to do to figure out how to get there

And of course we'd help him

But if others believe in you, it can and must be done!

Which is what being in a mastermind is all about

2) Have a client call this morning with someone who wants to nearly double his current income level in the next 12 months

He asked me permission to be so ambitious

After all, he's been in "this place" for a while and has never broken through to new levels

Without hesitation I told him permission granted!

The real question is, is he shooting HIGH ENOUGH?

They see their current reality and aim for incremental growth

But we're capable of so much more if we just believe in and push ourselves

And surround ourselves with coaches and colleagues that will lift us up and push us to do more and be more

Never underestimate yourself

And never be satisfied

It's time we all 2X, 3X, 10X our growth, success, and impact

Who is with me?
