Hi folks,
I'm curious. Has anyone here in this forum really reached their initial goals?
By that, I mean starting with nothing, and deciding "I will do X and earn X in X days/weeks/months/years" and actually achieved it?
I don't know, it seems to me pursuing a goal is actually counter-productive.
There's just too many variables. Too many parameters. Too many things you don't know you don't know.
I'm really talking about starting from scratch.
When you have a profitable business, going from say $1000 to $2000 revenue per month is tangible.
It's merely a matter of increasing speed, efforts, adapting a strategy, to grow 10, 20, or 100%, whatever.
But setting a concrete, precise goal (especially a money one) when you don't have anything going on? Isn't it delusional?
There's this "Backward Law" I came across a few times the last years. Basically it says: the more you're fixated on pursuing something, the more it eludes you.
I heard many people here in this forum with valuable advice say something similar.
And then, there's this video:

It drives the point in a rather scientific way.
So I'm wondering, has anyone ever really achieved an arbitrary goal they set for themselves, starting from scratch?
