Goal Setting
Our Goal - To Improve The Financial IQ Of Everyone.
Goals usually are the key to success. But please don't forget to enjoy the journey.
Setting Goals
When setting goals there are two main philosophies. The first says aim high because even if you fail to reach your goal you will have achieved a lot. The second and more modern approach is set min goals and over achieve them. The thinking behind this is that by over achieving you will feel extremely satisfied and continue to over achieve your future mini-goals.
We tend to favor the second version for a number of reasons. Firstly goals on their own are not enough after you set goals you need to map out the mini steps (strategies) along the way to achieving those goals. Using the mini-goals approach you are basically mapping out the strategy and setting goals all in one.
The mini-goals approach is also more measurable because the time frame and amounts are smaller and reached more often. The third reason is the mini-goal approach is definitely more successful for first time goal setters.
How To Set Goals For
Set goals for various areas of your life and across various time frames from the near term to the long term.
