Raymond Aaron - Goal Setting

Canadian Raymond Aaron is acknowledged as one of the top success coaches in the world.  He is credited with helping people from all walks and with different life goals, learn how to achieve those goals. Aaron is held in such high regard that Australian internet marketer, James Schramko, changed his travel plans (he was speaking at StomperNet Live in Atlanta), to include a visit to Toronto in order to meet with him.  James has always included ‘mindset’ in all of his workshops and courses, because he knows its importance to success.To help him deliver this message from an experts perspective, he filmed and recorded his chat with Raymond.

Firstly, Raymond Aaron wanted to say that words like “the secret” and “abundance” are not airy-fairy, lovey-dovey throw-away concepts.  He believes and has proven many times, that by invoking the law of attraction, positive things happen. By setting realistic and achievable goals you are more likely to reach them, and the more you do this, the better you feel about yourself.The Law of Attraction comes into play when this happens.  When you feel good, you send out positivity, and you receive it in return.

The setting of goals is Raymond’s speciality.  He tells us that most people set goals for things they are not competent.  They are doomed to failure before they start.  This is why he has developed what he has patented and copyrighted as The MTO Method.  “MTO” stands for Minimum Target Outrageous – the three levels of goal-setting that he teaches. For instance if your goal is to do 30 sit-ups a day and you currently do no exercise, then you will likely fail – and feel bad, and give up.  However, using Aaron’s MTO Method you would set your goals:

The Minimum should be very achievable.Say, just 1 sit up.

The Target should be possible. Say 5 sit-ups.

The Outrageous is real air-punching stuff. It might be 30 sit-ups.

In this example, meeting your Minimum goal should be easy, and once done you feel good.You will probably feel so great that the Target is also within you reach.  If you decide to reach that goal as well, you feel sensational.  After you have reached this Target, you will see that the Outrageous goal is within your reach as well.

Why You Need Goals

Can you imagine an aeroplane taking off from an airport with no set destination ? Visualise it it flying around pointlessly until it ran out of fuel and dropped from the sky ? I can’t, yet so many people are like this plane. They fly around without purpose in life, never really going anywhere or achieving anything until they run out of fuel.

Have you ever wondered why some people are so incredibly successful, yet others are not ? It is because of goals.  The goals you set are your map and flight plan. If you don’t know where you are heading to, how will you when you arrive?  If you don’t know what you want, how will you know when you have got it?

Your goals not only tell you where you are going, but tell you when you are there.  They give you something to work towards and a target to aim for. I am sure there is a time in your life when you really worked towards something you wanted and were passionate and motivated about it.  Once a lot of people hit their goals, they drift around for a while, confused and unsure where to go next.

When you arrive at one set of goals, move the targets, move them forwards and push yourself on further. For example, if your goal is to earn $1000 a month, when you reach it, move the goal to earn $2000 a month.  Then when you hit that, move it on to $4000 a month.

Your goals need to be big enough to challenge and stretch you, though not impossible.  If you set goals that are unachievable for you, you may well give up because they seem impossible.  If they are just out of your reach, they will stretch you and get you used to working towards goals.

Likewise, if your goals are too easy, you won’t feel challenged enough to work towards them and will drift around again. Whatever you want in life, you need goals, whether these are for a great family, a fantastic job, more income or an amazing relationship.  With a set of goals, you can set your flight path and destination and get to where you want to be.

Goal setting will help you achieve your dreams.  With the help of a good goal setting program you can achieve anything in life.  There are no limits except those you choose to accept.  Setting and achieving goals is something you can do, and much easier than you perhaps think.
