How Your Current Goals System Completely Failed You

People's Lives Mimic the Stages of Societies
The same is true for 80-90% of people's lives on an individual level.
Some cultures require goals in the harshest of settings...often a requirement
for achieving in the long-term.
In China, people save 20 cents per day toward their future. That's about 10-20%
of their income!
In America, people save ZERO cents per day (per year/decade) toward their future...
for incomes that are 150 TIMES greater than the Chinese (on average).
Don't misunderstand, people save perhaps 1% in their retirement funds...it will
be gone because of "an emergency" or uncomfortable time in the near future.
Why?
Necessity.
There is no necessity in America to save (up until today) because there is no
punishment of laziness in the context of the environment.
And, interestingly, in the last decade, our country has talked about one of
the last pillars to fall in free societies in the 21st century...national
health care.
If people don't earn it, people can feel entitled to it and be given it.
In China, if people don't save, people will starve. It is that simple.
Necessity IS the Mother of Invention....and Politics of Destruction.
A Mentor Can Help You Achieve Goals
In order to Achieve Goals You Probably NEED a Coach, a Mentor.
I can't think of anyone who didn't have a good personal advisor or
coach that achieved in life.
Here's what the pretend-a-guru will tell you about your goals:
"Work a little each day on your goals."
Moron.
Idiot.
Fool.
Guaranteed recipe for failure.
That's what got the person to needing 2009 to start in the first place.
They had already, "done a little each day." In fact they'd probably done
a "little" each day for 20 years.
People spend nine hours each day busting their butts at "a job" which
gets them nothing but the status quo and a life that REQUIRES balance or
insanity will kick in. A life where they must return to the hamster wheel
next month or they will be on the street. (the individual level of the
end of society)
It's going to require something close to that to CHANGE and ACHIEVE
something that MEANS something.
"OK Mr. Ant, just go do five minutes each day..."
"OK Mr. Squirrel, just go collect nuts for about 10 minutes each day..."
If you get a coach that tells you to do the same things you've been doing for the
last 20 years, get a new coach.
You don't need to be a billionaire nor do you need to save the world from
it's impending disasters.
You probably would be wise to prepare for an uncertain future because
to do otherwise would be counter-wise...by definition: foolish.
In China, people save 20 cents per day toward their future. That's about 10-20%
of their income!
