Through working with people not only to set their goals, but more importantly to achieve them, I’ve found there’s one thing which consistently prevents people reaching their goals. It has nothing to do with not persevering, lacking willpower, being unfocussed or not being able. It’s the fact that people haven’t set the right goals for themselves and this usually means that a particular goal was a ‘should’ or an ‘ought’. For example, I should network each day.
