We have been told time and time again that goal setting is an essential tool for achieving success in business, at work, and in our lives. That's true. But what we are not always told by goal setting experts is that goals themselves do not change anything.

I believe if you really want to accomplish your dreams and become who you want to be in business and in your life, personal coaching is what ultimately matters. Not the "technical rigor" of your skills. Not your credentials. Not your educational qualifications. Not your professional experience. Not your ideas.

Are you feeling frustrated and stuck in business and in your life? It could be because you are too fixated on performance. You may be ignoring the learning and growth opportunities that are in front of you. The uncomfortable things in front of you might be what you actually need to get to the next level of your business.

Goal setting is a common prescription most young entrepreneurs use when they’re looking to perform at a higher level and grow their businesses. There is nothing evil about that. I believe goal setting is how you become who you want to be. Using goals to unlock massive growth in your business seems like a noble thing to do.

I believe being professional, smart, persuasive, fun, and social is not enough to become who you want to be as a young entrepreneur and improve the quality of your business and life. Don’t get me wrong. It’s important to be professional, social, smart, and fun. You should strive to be all of those things.
