Do you spend a lot of time focusing on how you’ll achieve your goals?
This is the most common trap people fall into when setting goals, but the truth is that it rarely produces results.
There is a better way to achieve your goals that feels a lot more fluid and a lot less stressful.
Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake explains why this pre-planning so often backfires. In fact, it could actually be limiting your possibilities and preventing you from achieving your goals.
In this episode, you’ll learn a better way to achieve your goals that focuses less on having a step-by-step plan and more on following in the direction of your North Star. You’ll hear about a different approach to goal-setting that helps you take the steps you need while gathering valuable information for the journey ahead.
When you stop focusing on the how, you actually open up your options and expand the possibilities.
What You’ll Learn:
When having a plan actually works against you (1:40)
What successful people have figured out (3:33)
A new approach to achieving your goals (5:36)
Why planning ahead isn’t always helpful (6:40)
How this method reduces stress and opens up more possibilities (8:15)
Favorite Quotes:
This obsession we have about figuring out how something needs to happen is what keeps us stuck.
When we approach every new circumstance with the perspective of having to know exactly what it should look like, then we drastically narrow the amount of choices we have because those choices can only fit in what we know.
It's nearly impossible to create something different if you're only using the knowledge you have today.
When you remove having to know the how, you allow yourself to be open to an infinite number of possibilities.
