The importance of goal-setting and planning

Many of us have asked our family members, friends and colleagues this question. Some of us may also have asked ourselves what our goal should be for the coming year.

But have you reflected on what goal-setting actually is, and what it would take to achieve what you have always dreamed of?

In episode two, D&Adi give some useful advice:

To achieve your goals, tracking your progress should be a priority. Ask yourself; where did I do well, and where did I fail? What did I learn from my setbacks?

Once you have gained some clarity on where you need to improve, it is easier to get into a good flow.

Block out everything that does not serve you, and narrow your vision on the end-goal. Focus on producing quality work, instead of getting distracted by quantitative measures.

Set your mind to it, and go all in with your whole heart.

Focus on raising your minimum standards every day. If you can get 1 percent better today, that will amount to a lot in a year.

Go to bed with a commitment for tomorrow. For many of us, this will entail letting go of some of our down-time activities, such as scrolling mindlessly on our phones. Think 80% education and 20% entertainment, not the reverse.

Reflect on who you want to be, and the identity you want to create. Then execute accordingly.

Do not be afraid of “no”, instead your should pursue it. Aiming high does not necessarily mean falling hard. You have to learn how to handle rejection, or else you will be at a standstill for the rest of your life.

Remember; if you are not getting rejected, you are not executing to your full potential. First things first. Connect with god, and your family.

Embrace your loved ones, and let them be your inspiration for success.
