What’s your goal?
You know, the one you have been putting off…
The BIG ONE.
We all have one.
But, we put them off… until the circumstances are right. Until we have more time. Or more money. Or more, what?
What is keeping you from your big goal?
Your Big Goal – What Is It?
We all have a big goal. We keep it in the back of our minds.
It dominates our dreams. It occupies our thoughts.
But, very few of us actually take action to make our big goal happen.
Instead, we sit on the sideline and watch as opportunity passes by.
“Many of us dream of our shot.
We look at it… and look… and look…
… and never take the shot!“
What is your big goal?
– Find a new relationship
– Write a book.
– Run a half-marathon. (or even a 5K!)
– Start a hobby that you have been passionate about.
– Find a new job.
– Get in shape.
– Volunteer for something we believe in.
We all have a big goal. But, few of us ever take the shot…
Why You Aren’t Reaching Your Goal

- You Don’t Dream Big Enough
- You’re Too Comfortable

What is your excuse?
Why aren’t you taking the shot on your big goal?
Reach Your Big Goal
I want you to make your big goal.
However, you have to want to do it. You have to take action.
“I can’t take the shot for you.
Only you can do that.”
But, I can motivate you. Give you tools to get started. Cheer you on. And of course, hold you accountable.
Do you need a little motivation? I recently started the TMN Community just for that purpose. In fact, I will be sharing the material and tools that will be part of an upcoming Goals Course.
You get access to me, insider tips, and a community of like-minded goal-oriented individuals.
There are already 50 members (from over a dozen countries!) in there. It is a friendly group that is ready to share their own goals, provide support, and drive some accountability.
Need some reward motivation? Each month there is a member giveaway. This month I will be giving away a Kindle Fire to the lucky winner.
To be eligible, you must join the TMN Community and post your BIG GOAL to the community board.
It currently only costs $4.95 to join us. (Special launch price!) So, click here to join us today.
The only thing keeping you from your goal is you.
Question: What is your BIG GOAL?
My goal is to go on a lengthy sailing adventure. Something between 6 – 8 months. What is holding me back is a general lack of experience in blue water sailing. I’m trying to accomplish my goal by planning smaller, short, cruises in my area. My first blue water trip is planned for July. While it is only 1 week in duration it will be a good way to get my feet wet and build confidence. My success on this trip will gauge how quickly I can move forward to my ultimate goal.
I think planning and being methodical about goals is key. More importantly though is actually making progress towards the end result. It isn’t always easy but it is important. Always move forward.
@AndrewJ Andrew, thanks for sharing. Love to see you over on the Community Site! 🙂
@TMNinja very nice on getting your blog posted again on Mr. Hyatt’s blog.
@wchughes Thx, Billy! You caught that… 🙂
This is a great post. I think one big problem is people don’t always know what their BIG GOAL is. When our dreams are crushed as we grow up (“You can’t be a rockstar”), we start to lose the dreamer in us. When it comes to reaching for something big, we tend to go back to those nay-sayers. However, through the blogs of michaelhyatt , jeffgoins and 48daysteam book, I’ve been slowly finding my dreamer’s dreams again – to write a book and speak to youth. With a little life planning, I am on my way to achieving that goal.
P.S. Great way to bring life to old posts!!
@mochocki Love your thought here. And I agree!
Many people do not know what *their* BIG GOAL is… and even sometimes confuse it with someone *else’s* goals…
Love to see you on the Community Site, where we are all sharing our BIG GOALS… as well, as going through some goal exercises to better define them. Best wishes! 🙂
