Some people develop financial goals because they want to make a lot of money fast. As is often the case, when they are not rich by the date they had originally planned, they quickly discard the goal. Let s be very clear. It is one thing to set a goal, and quite another to develop an appropriate action plan. Goals are not instant success.
Some people expect instant success once they have developed a goal.
Instant success rarely happens. Goals give you a compass in order to direct your path through life. Goals focus your thoughts and actions on areas that have precise purpose and meaning. A clear direction can help reduce your stress. Because you not only know exactly where you want to end up, but you are also working towards an achievable goal without wasted or misdirected energy.
