Don't Be Afraid to Change Your Goals

I find that quite often people will set a goal and then they`ll start working towards it, and then they´ll stop.

One of the big reasons is because they are no longer passion about that goal that they have set for themselves. And that`s okay. That`s normal. That`s human nature.

You are not going to be the same person always and as you start something you may discover that it`s not what actually what you want to do.

As you learn more about yourself and you start working on it, you may need to change your goal. Don’t be afraid to change your goal if it`s NOT something that you aren’t excited about anymore.

I see too many people who are associated with the corporate environment, people who have graduated and they kind of always wanted to start a business, but they don`t have the guts to do or they are telling themselves stories why they can`t do it.

So they set corporate goals for themselves, “I want to reach this and become VP and then CEO”. You stick on this path that isn`t really what excites you and motivates you to keep going.

I would do a gut-check at least once a week on your big goals. The little goals are great, you should hopefully be able to accomplish them within a week.

Look at your big goals once a week and do a gut-check to see if this is something that still motivates me. Do I look at that goal and say: “I`m inspired you to get up every morning”…

or do you say: “Ohhh, I don’t really feel like it. I`m not feeling that goal anymore.” Because if that is where you are, then you need to switch your goal to do something that you are more passionate about.”
