As
pointed out by Steve Scott, author
of the bestselling book,
INTERNET RICHES: THE SIMPLE MONEY-MAKING
SECRETS OF ONLINE MILLIONAIRES, the
secret of achieving incredible success is to dream bigger than you possibly can.
I think this is a great message we must imbibe if we must achieve our new year
resolutions.
In
his other bestselling book, MENTORED BY A MILLIONAIRE: MASTER STRATEGIES OF
SUPER ACHIEVERS, while
explaining this principle of dreaming bigger than you can possibly achieve, Scott condemned the goal-setting strategy propagated
by motivational speakers, writers and educators who teach that we should only
set reasonable and achievable goals.
According to
Scott, setting only reasonable and timely achievable goals is “one of the
greatest falsehoods ever propagated by motivational speakers, writers and
educators.” To prove his assertion, he cited the case of Thomas Edison who set
his goal of inventing the lightbulb in an impossible time period of three
years, and did it in less than three years!
What is
worthy of note is that scientists who were far more intelligent than Edison had
spent more than 50 years trying to invent the same electric bulb and failed.
Going by
this precedent, a more reasonable goal that Edison could have set for himself
was 50 years or more, but Edison set an unreasonable goal of inventing the bulb
in three years!
Another real
fact Scott gave to prove his point is the success story of America’s great auto
maker, Henry Ford. Before Ford started his auto company, there were other 250
American auto makers who were turning out 12 to 300 cars per year. Now, if this
precedent is anything to go by, a more reasonable goal Ford could have set was
to produce between 13 and 299 cars per year, but Ford set an impossible goal of
putting a car in every garage in America. Surprisingly, within a few years, he
was building 1,000 cars, not per year but per day!
Dear friend,
what a revelation! – this principle of dreaming bigger than you can possibly
achieve! One of the lessons I grabbed from Scott’s Mentored By a Millionaire is that SETTING GOALS THAT ARE REASONABLE
AND ACHIEVABLE WILL SEVERELY LIMIT AND ULTIMATELY CRIPPLE OUR ABILITY TO
ACHIEVE EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS.
The surest way to achieve extraordinary
results is to set impossible goals for ourselves. Setting impossible goals will
ginger us to tap into the unlimited potentials God has deposited within us for
our greatness.
Now, how do
we go about setting impossible goals and achieving them? Below are three tried
and tested steps you can take to achieve extraordinary results:
1. Don’t Be Afraid to Set High
Goals for Yourself
One of the
reasons we don’t set high goals for ourselves is that we are afraid that we
will not achieve them. It is this fear that is holding us back from being the
best that God wants us to be. As Edison, Ford and others discussed in Scott’s, Mentored By a Millionaire, have proved, setting impossible goals
empowers us to achieve levels of success we never dreamed possible.
So, we
should never be afraid to demand great things for ourselves, for it is when we
demand great things for ourselves that powers which we dreamed we never
possessed will leap to our assistance.
2. Be Prepared to Fail Many Times
Philip D’
Armour once told his team of engineers that unless they are prepared to fail
woefully, they would never achieve outstanding success.
Failure is
really the highway to success, but unfortunately we don’t want to pass through
this way. The electric bulb we are enjoying today would not have come into
existence without the thousands of failures recorded by its inventor, Edison.
It is on
record that Edison failed 10,000 times before he finally invented the
incandescent bulb. When asked whether he
wanted to fail the 10,000th times before inventing the bulb, he
replied: “I’ve not failed; I have only discovered 10,000 ways that the bulb
would not work.”
A young
aspiring writer once asked great entrepreneur, Sam Walton what he must do to
become a successful writer, Walton replied: “If you want to be a successful writer, double your rate of failure.”
The more you
fail, the closer you get to success. Be ready to fail a lot and learn from your
failures. And note: YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE BECAUSE YOU FAILED; YOU BECOME A
FAILURE IF YOU FAIL TO RISE UP EACH TIME YOU FAIL.
3. Shoot for the Moon
Super
achievers are men of focus. They are not concerned with reaching for all the
stars they can see; they shoot for the moon. Mike Murdock once noted that one
of the causes of many people’s failures is “broken focus.” Truly great people
are known for one or a few things they devote their life to.
Their focus
is to be the best in whatever they are doing. They don’t go about chasing every
idea or opportunity they come across. They focus on what they are passionate
about and they leave no stone unturned.
Dear reader,
what Scott is emphasizing in his block-buster motivational bestseller, Mentored By a Millionaire, is that you
can also become a super achiever in this wide world of opportunities. All you
need do is to DREAM BIGGER THAN YOU POSSIBLY CAN ACHIEVE.
To do this,
you should not be afraid to set very high goals for yourself, you should be
ready to fail many times and you should never lose focus on your goals.
As you
practice this master strategy, it is my hope that you will also become a super
achiever soon!
Till I come
your way soon, go and live victoriously!
