A lesson in goal setting from the genius of Michelangelo









How are your business goals coming along?



As you consider your answer to that question, I’d like you to think about the following. It’s from the genius of Michelangelo .




“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.’
Michelangelo.



Puny goals fail to inspire us. And as Michelangelo suggested, even if we achieve them, we’re in danger of achieving nothing of any importance.



When a genius gives that kind of advice, we do well to take heed. Thankfully, Michelangelo provided us with the best way forward. We’re advised that it’s a lot less dangerous to aim high.



This includes.




Setting goals that excite you.



Setting goals that cause you to grow .



Setting goals that are worthy of you.



Setting goals that will lead to a meaningful improvement in your quality of life.



Setting goals that motivate the people around you.




That’s the kind of goal setting, which fuels you with the passion, energy, direction and inspiration you need. That’s the kind of goal setting, which can lead to outstanding results.



That’s also the kind of goal setting, which is used by the most effective people in business. Because it works.
