What if the real purpose of a goal wasn’t to get something… but to become someone?
Have you ever achieved a goal only to realise that what you gained along the way was far more valuable than the thing you actually achieved?
A goal isn’t designed for you to just get something. It’s designed to grow you – to help you become more than you’ve ever been before.
One of the ideas that radically changed the basis of my thinking came from my late mentor, Bob Proctor.
When I first started working with Bob back in 2015, he had me thinking very differently about goals.
He introduced me to the idea of what he called a C-Type Goal.
A dream. A fantasy.
Something you really want but you’ve never done before and something you don’t know how to achieve.
And for me, at the time, that was a radical idea.
Up until then I had built businesses, set targets and planned my life in a very logical, rational way.
I would look at what I’d done before and then ask:
How do I do a little bit better? How do I improve by 10 or 20%? How do I make the next year slightly better than the last?
There’s nothing wrong with that but I wasn’t going for a quantum leap. My goals weren’t drawing out a whole new level of who I was capable of becoming.
A C-Type Goal asks you to do something very different. It asks you to think beyond your present results, beyond what you already know how to do, beyond what you currently believe is realistic.
It asks: What do you really want?
It was about growth. And that’s the purpose of a goal.
