What is the purpose of a goal?

Many people believe that the purpose of a goal is to achieve some predefined result. In reality, the purpose of a goal is to serve an appropriate purpose in the moment. It’s not about the result; it’s about who you need to become to earn the right to achieve your goals. When you imagine the future, who is the person that you need to become to be a leader in that future? Imagine it and make it real. Your future as a leader starts now.

Jacob Morgan is a four-time best-selling author, including his most recent work, “The Future Leader.” This conversation will spur you to ask yourself important questions. Where do you have an opportunity to improve your mindset? What skills do you have an opportunity to improve? And what is The ONE Thing that you can do that would make your evolution into a future leader easier — or irrelevant altogether?

The path to getting everything you want starts with ONE Thing at a time. Think hard about what ONE Thing you can do, such that by doing it, makes everything else easier or unnecessary. Then, take that ONE Thing and put it into action.
