The directness of the rest of your explanation sure does match with the kind of structure that brings about results. Making the goals hard, instead of easy, has a couple of purposes that I would point out. One is that a harder goal is more appealing to inform others about, as a smaller one might be discouraged. Another is that a hard goal partially transforms you into a challenger, as opposed to an item-completer. I was glad to see our matched thoughts here. Thank you for your support Nick.

The action of goal-setting is the first momentum step and really gets the ball rolling towards it. Listen to this article’s advice and start writing action goals. To expand on what Armen has said, hopefully to his approval, good goals follow several steps. They must be specific actions under your ultimate objective. Most of us use result goals, such as “Make a great presentation,” which would be an ultimate objective. The ultimate objective needs to be clear and precise. Specifically, state exactly what you want and by when do you want it. Then use action goals to accomplish them. An action goal would be “prepare outline,” “rehearse with colleagues.” The second step would be to set daily and weekly goals as as a ladder toward the long term. Make them hard instead of easy. Then create a way to get feedback on a regular basis.

WA LA, your on your ways to your dreams.

Great article Armen.
