I've just read an article on Stephen's site Goal Free Living, an Amazon best seller. It's an interesting article and I am going to get the book but I have a comment. He says "...I discovered that the most creative, passionate, and successful people were NOT goal-oriented"
I think that most creative, passionate and successful people are by their very nature goal driven. They have very concrete ideas about how the world works and what they want out of it. They also have a plan of how they are going to achieve it. They may not write up a plan with goals and deadlines, but they are the people that put in the extra time, and push, push, push, until they have achieved (goal??) what they feel is worth their effort.
I do however agree with Stephen in that if you are 100% consumed with your goals you will never stop to smell the proverbial roses. That's why I like my idea, of setting goals that are "BUYING TIME" and as you go through each day and do something awesome "BANK IT!!"
I'll give you an example..Sue and I plan our holidays at the beginning of each year, set the list of things to do so we end up going on the holidays, and now they are banked. Then we fit the work around the holidays. There will always be enough work to do 24/7, but one of our goals is to spend as much holiday time in great places with out kids.
