Part 2/8:
Reflecting on a past struggle, the author recounts sitting in a room filled with journals, all touting ambitious goals like getting fit, saving money, or starting a business. Despite all the advice from self-help gurus on SMART goals and visualization techniques, nothing materialized. The realization that these goals remained unmet for two years led to frustration and self-doubt.
It was during a serendipitous conversation with a successful entrepreneur that everything began to change. This entrepreneur, who had built a thriving tech company, revealed that he hadn't set a single goal in three years. This revelation left the author stunned, prompting an exploration of an alternative approach that resulted in greater achievements in a mere six months compared to the previous two years.
