Goal setting and planning require confidence and control. If you’re not in charge, your plans will fade away in the background of your life. Taking a dream, a fantasy, turning it in to a structured project, and then proceeding to take consistent action on a timely basis until it becomes reality takes power, leadership, and focus.
Your motivation determines your success
You must be thinking that this is obvious and old. Motivation is connected to success, no brainer. Except that maybe you didn’t think about what exactly motivation is. Most people know what motivation feels like, but can’t define it in exact words.
Why you should have strategies, not just goals and plans
The secret of success may not be in setting goals and planning – only… Strategies can make all the difference, giving goals and plans smart focus and leverage.

To plan or not to plan
Not planning leads to inaction, not an adventurous, romantic life where incredible and amazing events happen all around you. Sometimes things just happen in our lives. It’s good when it does, planning in fact would not keep us from bumping into opportunities. But the rest of our lives is filled with pure inertia.
Life is like sailing
One of the most frequent questions we get about planning and goal setting is: how can I set goals and plan if I can’t predict the future, and life changes so much?
Why you shouldn’t have too many goals
Many people with overachieving potential (a lot of different talents, hobbies and interests) end up underachievers because they can’t remain focused. They chase too many rabbits at the same time. Having too many goals or one big dream that monopolizes our expectations about life can ruin our ability to act towards any goal. The result is slow to no progress.
