Why you need more than goals
Our theory is that setting goals isn't enough to reach your full potential. We believe that if you don't have a strong vision driving you, it isn't enough to just set goals. It doesn't matter if it's on a personal level in your life or as a business. Goals can help us in the short term but when it comes to the long haul we need a clear vision that can act as a motivator when we start to lose sight of where we are going, in times of resistance and to create a more fun journey on the way towards a dream scenario.
That said, we also think that it's important to set specific, measurable goals on the way towards the vision. Goals are a great way to measure if we're on the right path, and to help us get there faster. But without the vision, it's just not as fun and much harder!
Psychology Today blogger Ray B. Williams agrees and writes today about why goals don't get the work done in the long term in his post Why goal setting doesn't work. Interesting stuff!
