Why is it important to have goals? Seems like a silly question. To me, the real reason we have goals is it keeps us focused and helps make the little things count.
I’ll do what others won’t to have what others don’t.

What do all these quotes have in common? They are referring to meeting goals and requiring effort. Everyday you get up and go to work, make calls, file papers or do whatever it is you are reluctant to do. Why? To get closer to your goals. If your goal is worth it, you’ll keep moving towards it.
You see we need goals to motivate us daily. In sales we can make a call today and not close the deal for a week, month or even a year! In school you develop strong writing skills and wonder why am I writing this essay? Later in school you realize the benefit all those essays had.
Hold this true, without goals we have no reason to push ourselves. The daily routine becomes too much for us to bear. Instead of approaching the task with a burning desire, we approach asking why? Which do you think helps you achieve a better result? Burning desire baby! Make the small things count.
Take some time today setting your huge goal. Than write down what needs to be done to achieve the goal. Next time you ask, why? Look at your goal sheet and remember it’s helping you reach that HUGE goal!
