So many people live life as Zig Ziglar would say, "as wondering generalities." This means they float from day to day just doing what comes next, reacting to this situation, then that situation. In other words, life controls them as they ride the tide. Then there are a few, a very select few, approximately 20% of our population who dare to live extraordinary lives who set goals, but not just everyday goals but meaningful "stretch goals" that will not only change their life, but the lives of the people in their life. This select group does not just set a few goals here and there but they set lots of goals, at least 20 goals that they are working on every day. They put a plan into place that they follow every day and then they follow the plan. And you would say, "that's awesome, I bet they live great lives."

However, we are not done yet, there is still another step. We have to "Burn The Boats" What does this mean? Well first, click the link above and watch the video as Andy Andrews tells the story but for now, let me break it down to the most basic level. Burn The Boats translates to, get rid of plan B. Set your goals, create your plan and then go after your vision with passion knowing that success is the only option, that YOU, will succeed because after all, that is the ONLY option. This does not mean you will not have setbacks and temporary failures. You may even face insurmountable challenges and resistance but as long as you persist without failure because remember, the boat are gone, there is no plan B, you will eventually succeed. You will live your goals, your dream and you will change not just your life but the lives of every person who is on the journey with you.
Set your goals, write them down, create your plan and Burn The Boats!
