Your Success Is a Series of Small Wins

Success is the progressive realization of worthwhile goals and dreams.

—Paul Meyer

We’ve all enjoyed success in life. It can range from finishing a college degree to paying off a credit card. It can even be deciding that you will be a millionaire and taking that first action toward that goal. It all adds up to the life you are living now.

I know the typical eventual millionaire is a high achiever and high achievers feel really good when they are realizing their goals. I’m willing to bet you have set goals before. I wanted to find out how exactly millionaires set their goals, and not just how they set them, but what they did with them after they were set. I want to show you how millionaires go through and set their visions and their goals. You’ll learn if visioning and goal setting is just another self-help thing people say that may or may not work, or if it’s really working for the successful.

After asking millionaires how they set up their goals, it was clear to see that they do similar things, like visioning and creating specific goals and action plans. All individuals are different and have their own way of doing things. You can still be successful even without setting goals, but the majority of the millionaires I’ve spent time with have goals.
