Success can be a very strange journey, your journey can not be compared to someone else’s, this goes for goals aswell. Goals are tailored to an individual’s desire’s. Setting goals or mile stones will help you achieve little victories along the way to success. While one persons path to success could be more of a straight path, some one else’s could be a bumpy, pothole filled winding road. If I were to answer what success is to me, I would say doing what you love. Now on the other hand if you ask my dog, Charlie, what success is to him he would say belly rubs and naps on the couch. Come to think of it, maybe Charlie and I share some of the same goals 🧐 When you talk with others about success, they might think to them selves that you are already successful. Well the goal of succeeding is an ever changing target, in your twenties it’s finding the perfect apartment. While in your 50’s it could be getting that promotion at work or maybe your retirement?

Some where in the world a gentleman looks out of his house to see a mountain view, with deer grazing in the front yard and dreams of having an apartment close to Central Park. While the lady in Central Park dreams of a mountain view cabin. Success is all relative.

So you want to achieve success? Do you ? Well let’s talk about getting on the path. If you were lost in a mountain forest, success would be finding your way out. You would not wander across the grain, looking in the strangest places to find a way out. You would find your path and follow it. Having a passion for something helps you stay on the path.

Find your passion and stay on the path. Generalized success is what most people would hope for, while I’m saying stay focused and stay on your path. There’s an old saying in the construction industry. Don’t be a jack.

“A Jack of all trades is a master of none.”

I have a friend who tried to do it all, kitchens, bathrooms, tiles, additions, siding, basements ect. He was only successful when he focused in on one aspect. Decks, that’s all he does now. He is now a master of decks.

Going all in on your ideas, all in on your passion is the only way to succeed. Sure you could test the waters and do a little toe dipping, but the only way to truly succeed is to jump in. Some would say you would fail by going all in? Well sure you might but what is failure? Failure is learning, Some of the greatest lessons I’ve learnt are from failing. If you learn from something then you haven’t failed. Working on your goal a day a week won’t get you there very fast. One day a week for 3 years would be 150 days, you could achieve the same in 5 mths working full time on something. Even sooner because your focused everyday on the same task. Going all in makes you fight harder for it. You now have skin in the game, you have something to lose.

Set realistic goals and work towards them

Saying I want to run a 15 km marathon in 2weeks isn’t realistic. But if I set goals to do 1 km runs, then 2 km, then 5 km and so on. Those minor goals are achievable, making the impossible 15 km marathon also achievable as a major goal.

Dreams are just unrealized goals, dreams do come true. But it’s up you.

In times like these it’s finding toilet paper and hand sanitizer
