Speaking of the practice of setting goals, some people may say: I really understand the importance of pursuing goals wholeheartedly, but I have too many chores and often 'disrupt' the original plan, what should I do?Many unknown factors do exist and affect your execution steps, such as illness in the family, job cancellation, or some unexpected event.

Therefore, we must remain calm everywhere, maintain a calm attitude at all times, and take remedial measures when encountering obstacles.For example, if you encounter a blocked road or a traffic jam while driving, it is impossible to stop, and of course you are not willing to go home.The temporary closure of the road only means that it is impassable now, and other roads can still get you to your target point.

Pay attention to the words and deeds of the senior generals around you. Whenever they draw up a strategic plan, they will draw up several backup plans at the same time in case of emergency.That is to say, in case of unforeseen events that cancel case A, use case B instead, just as the airport where the plane was originally scheduled to land is closed for some reason, the plane will definitely land at the airport closest to this airport. .

It is very rare to succeed step by step without going through many twists and turns.When we make a detour, we don't change the original goal, we just choose another path, and the destination remains the same.

Set a fixed date by which you must earn the money you ask for—without a schedule, your ship will never dock.

i.e. don't delay.You already know that it is up to you to shape the main purpose you want to define, so why not put into practice what you already know as soon as possible?
A clear goal is created by yourself, no one can replace it, and it will not create itself.How are you going to deal with it?when?How to do?
Draw up an actionable plan to achieve your goals, and act now—you have to get used to action, and you can no longer dream about it.That is, do it now.

In your lifetime, when the cue to do it now flashes from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind, and you are asked to do what you should do, immediately jumping into the appropriate action is a good way to make you successful. Habit.This good habit is the secret to getting things done, and it affects every aspect of your daily life.It can help you quickly complete the things you should do but you don't like to do, it can keep you from procrastinating when faced with unpleasant responsibilities, and it can also help you do what you want to do. Those precious opportunities that once missed will never come again.

Write down the above four points clearly - you can't just rely on memory, you must write in black and white.Read aloud what you have written about that plan twice a day, once at night before bed and once in the morning after you wake up, and when you read it, you must see, feel, and believe that you have success.

To turn your goals into reality, you must see your progress, because when you achieve your goals, you will definitely go through a process. Seeing your progress clearly will motivate you, and will also enhance your ability to complete each step below Confidence.

Once the goal is determined, all you need is persistence!Please remember: you are the master of your goal, only you have the right to choose it, and failure has no right to change your confidence in your firm goal.

For example, Warren Buffett's target winning method.

When Buffett was young, he had a natural mind to make money.When he was 11, he persuaded his sister to buy 38 shares of City Services at $300 a share.The stock later dropped to $7 per share.So, my sister often blamed Buffett.Later, the stock slowly rose to $40, and Buffett quickly sold his sister's stock, but the company's stock immediately rose to $200 per share.From this incident, Buffett obtained two principles that he abides by throughout his life:
First, setting goals must be done through rigorous thinking and precise calculation.

Second, after the goal is set, never give up and change easily, especially the core goal.

Before confirming the new goal, Buffett has a very accurate estimate of the possibility of achieving the goal, and he will implement it only when he is absolutely sure of winning. In 1993, Buffett bought a furniture company.The company was founded by a Russian immigrant with no formal education.When Buffett met her, she was already 90 years old, but she was still energetic to go to work every day, sitting on a golf tricycle to and fro in the company.

At that time, Buffett came to her store and asked her if she would sell the furniture company to him, and she immediately offered $6000 million.Buffett didn't counter the offer, and went straight back to his office to write her a check for $6000 million.The old lady asked him why he didn't hire a lawyer and an accountant, and Buffett said he believed her.When checking the inventory, the old lady discovered that the furniture company was worth $8560 million.But once she said it, she didn't want to break the contract, but she was very surprised because Buffett didn't seem to think about it at the time.It turned out that he had already figured out how much the furniture company was worth.

Buffett's story reminds us that we have identified our goals and must move forward with energy.People who hold the mentality of going straight from the boat to the bridge will be loose in spirit and easy to change their minds.A person who achieves something does not rely on his sharp mind and talent, but depends on his clear goals, positive enterprising spirit and belief in winning.And the source of this spirit and belief is the lofty goal and ambition. Only in this way can you achieve your ultimate goal.

Turning goals into reality is also a typical market situation. Let's take a look at a wonderful poaching battle.

William Radolph Hearst, the world's largest newspaper tycoon at the beginning of this century.This is a very complex and controversial figure.He was once famous in the United States, but he was criticized by many people.But in any case, Hirst's bold style, great energy, astonishing talent, and a series of strange tricks he invented to make newspapers sell are still amazed and imitated by later generations.Therefore, people dubbed him the title of a generation of newspaper geeks.To this day, people who are familiar with news history are still talking about how Hearst, who was just a fledgling, brought infinite pain and troubles to the famous newspaper tycoon-Pulitzer. In 1887, the 24-year-old Hearst's journalistic career began here.This year, his father George finally got his wish and became a California senator.He turned over the reins of the San Francisco Examiner to Hearst.Hearst began to learn and imitate Pulitzer's way of running a newspaper when he first got involved in the newspaper industry.In his view, studying Pulitzer is not to become his follower, but to prepare for a bold attack on him in the future.He made bold reforms and innovations in the layout design of the newspaper, and hired many journalists to join in, making the "San Francisco Examiner" run well.Within a few years, Hearst had turned a money-losing paper into an average $10-a-year profit.

Hearst will not be satisfied with this, and New York is his next goal, challenging Pulitzer. In 1891, Hearst's father, George, died of illness.Hearst inherited a large stock of gold and silver mines.In order to get ahead in the newspaper industry, with the support of his mother, he sold some of his stocks and obtained a huge cash of 75 US dollars.From then on, relying on his strong financial backing and using his amazing courage and talent, Hearst started his life of galloping in the newspaper industry. In 1895, Hearst bought New York's "Morning News" for US$18, renamed it "New York Daily", and mobilized all the elite soldiers of "San Francisco Examiner" to New York to fully manage the new newspaper.The purpose of Hearst's move is to challenge Pulitzer's prestigious "New York World".The best way to attack is to start from within the enemy.Hearst waved the silver bullets in his hand, and threw them directly at Pulitzer's camp one after another. The famous cartoonist Bowles and drama critic Dahl of the "New York World" were successively poached by Hearst with high salaries.The most violent and craziest attack was that of January 1896.This year, the "San Francisco Examiner" deliberately rented the World Tower, which was the headquarters of the "New York World" at that time, as its East Coast office.At that time, the "New York World" attracted many readers with its rich content and novelty, and it was the largest-selling newspaper in New York.It is also because of the office building that staff exchanges between the San Francisco Examiner and the New York World are extremely close.

On this day, a play directed by Hearst was staged—the staff of the "San Francisco Examiner" used high salaries as bait overnight to lure all the important members of the "New York World" to defect.The next day, the elites of the "New York World" turned into the "New York Daily" team, including Pulitzer's favorite, weekly editor Merrill Gold.Gao Deshan delights readers with purely irritating reports of sensationalism and pseudoscience.He also pioneered the comic strip printed in color, and he hired cartoonist Ortgert to draw the "Hogan's Alley" comic strip. poor kid.This image was quickly recognized by people, very sensational, and called the yellow toddler.

"World Weekly" broke the record of 45 copies within one year, which is the credit of Gao De.The Le Monde Star periodical, which publishes only 52 times a year, is almost as profitable as the Le Monde Master Edition, which publishes 333 times a year.And Gaud, who was able to bring such benefits to the "New York World", actually brought Ortegert to the "New York Daily" together with the sensational yellow child.This is a fatal blow to the New York World.Pulitzer found that the building was empty overnight, and the usually steady newspaper leader was very annoyed by Hearst's frantic snatching.At first, he could only use the same high salary to persuade Gao De and others to return, but what is regrettable and even more annoying is that they only came back for one day, and Hearst poached them away with a higher salary.This large-scale attack almost paralyzed the New York World.Pulitzer had to use the same method to poach the editor-in-chief Brassburn from the "Sun" and let him reorganize the editorial work of the "New York World".The arrival of Brassburn revived the New York World, once again surpassing the New York Daily.Hearst did not give up. He repeated the old trick, and lured Brassburn with a high salary, proposing that he be the editor-in-chief of the newly founded "New York Evening Post", and promised that every thousand copies of the Evening Post would be sold, he would be paid [-] copies. Give Brassburn a dollar.Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.Blasben couldn't resist the lure, and abandoned his master to the enemy.He went all out to make the "New York Evening Post" famous and colorful. In the end, his weekly salary was as high as thousands of dollars, while his original first-class salary in the newspaper industry was only two hundred dollars a week.Pulitzer suffered yet another severe blow.Hearst's well-planned huge salary poaching campaign was very successful. The "New York Daily" always sold more than Pulitzer's "New York World", and it was the king of newspapers at the time.

Although Hearst's methods were a bit unscrupulous, he managed to turn his inner goals into reality and became the king of newspapers at the time, which cannot but be said to be a good example.

In 1961, an iron tower soaring into the clouds suddenly rose in a deserted wilderness east of San Francisco, California, USA.This is the drilling team of the famous American entrepreneur Hammer's Occidental Petroleum Company conducting exploration.The sound of the machine roared day and night, awakening the long-silent wasteland.When the drilling rig reached a depth of 8600 feet, there was exciting news: it was vented!It is the second largest natural gas field in California.For this exploration, Occidental Petroleum Company put all their eggs in one basket and invested a huge sum of nearly 2000 million US dollars.

Now finally got his wish, got an unexpected harvest.Hamer was so happy that he hurried to Pacific Gas and Electric Company, where he planned to sign a 20-year natural gas sales contract with this company.Unexpectedly, he got frustrated, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company sent Hammer away in a few words.They said: Sorry, our company does not need your company's natural gas, because we recently plan to spend a lot of money to build a natural gas pipeline from Alberta, Canada to the San Francisco Bay Area, and a large amount of natural gas can be transported from Canada through the pipeline.

It was like pouring cold water on Hamer, and he didn't know what to do for a while.But Hamer is a veteran who has been fighting in the commercial battlefield for many years, so he calmed down quickly.In a short time, he came up with an ingenious plan to subdue PG&E.Hammer quietly rushed to Los Angeles, because the city is a big buyer of Pacific Gas and Electric Company and a direct recipient of natural gas.Hamer went to the city council and told the members in a vivid way that his company planned to build a natural gas pipeline from Lathrop to Los Angeles, and it would supply it at a cheaper price than PG&E and any other bidding companies. natural gas to meet the needs of the City of Los Angeles.Moreover, he will also speed up the construction of the pipeline project, which will shorten the time compared with PG&E and other bidding companies to provide natural gas, and the citizens of Los Angeles can use his cheap natural gas in the near future.Members of the Los Angeles City Council were moved when they heard it, and they were ready to accept the plan of Hammer Occidental Petroleum Company and give up the natural gas of Pacific Gas and Electric Company.Hamer's move is really powerful.After the news reached the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, they all panicked and immediately visited Hammer, expressing their willingness to accept Hammer's natural gas.At this time, Hamer put on airs, he was in a condescending position, and proposed a series of conditions in his favor.PG&E didn't dare say anything different, so it obediently agreed.

You have to cut your own wood, you have to pick your own water, you have to shape the main goal of your life, act now, those who desire success!
