Stupid High-Level Goals Are Useless
A lot of times we create huge overarching goals (“I want to create the best social network in the world!!!!”) with no clear next steps. If you are trying to do anything even moderately complex and you don’t have a plan for what should happen in the next 7-14 days, then you are a fool. Also, you’re creating an easy barrier to getting it done. It’ll be easy to look back in 3 months and wonder why nothing got done. The answer, as every mom in America has said, is “you asked for it.”Thinking faster–in weeks, not years–is relevant to so many things. When you ask someone what they want to be, and they say “Well, I really want to be an entrepreneur/agent/sports writer but first I’m going to go be a consultant, then go back to business school, and then do it,” I always wonder why I want to curse out loud but am constrained by social norms. How can someone wait 10-15 years to do what they really want?

I can totally relate to what you’re saying. I just opened a new website and it was going to be the “biggest and the best” but I didn’t know where to begin to promote it. You have to walk before you can run.

Hi,
I totally agree. I think setting those weired unrealistic goals make our subconscious mind to hold us back instead.
You need something that you can believe and under your reach.
