Going Public With Your Goals

We’ve talked about this in the past, but this time of year is always a good time for a reminder.

One of the things I always encourage people to do when they are setting goals and working to achieve something (like wealth!) is to go public with your goals. I’ve done this myself on my success communication blog, and it really does have a strong impact.

I’ll Hold You To It

There are a few reasons why going public with your goals works to help you reach them.

• First, you build in a level of accountability. Suddenly, this is not just a thought living inside your head, but something you’ve told others about, that they can come back on you for. Knowing that others are watching to see if you succeed is quite a motivation.

• Secondly, you build in a network of support. It might come from what you think to be the most unlikely of sources, and you might really be surprised to find out who is paying attention and who cares about whether or not you succeed. More often than not, in my experience, the overwhelming response will be positive and supportive. And even when it’s not, it can motivate you to prove the naysayers wrong.

• Thirdly, going public with your goals makes them more real to you. Somehow, just telling others what your plans are makes them official in a way that keeping them to yourself does not.

The Courage To Try

Your first reaction might be to keep your financial plans and goals to yourself; you would certainly not be alone in doing that, but I encourage you to try going public. You really have little to lose and so much to gain, and you might just be surprised how empowering that simple move can be as you work toward building wealth this year.
