Many of us have a singular focus on a particular outcome when we set a goal.
The drawback to a single outcome goal is that you usually set yourself up for a disappointment if you don't achieve it.
And I don't know about you, but my goals are meant to be set high so I usually don't achieve them. They usually are there just to challenge me. However, I still come out feeling like a winner.
How? Well, I'll give you an example:
In my business, there are two components to it and that is health & wealth.
When I work out at the gym, I know that with each repetition of exercise that I do is an investment in both my health AND my wealth.
Every month I make an investment in both of these areas by simply going to the gym, getting the proper nutrition. The outcomes are either improved health at the very least and at the very best, more wealth in the process.
So how can you set a Dual Outcome Goal?
It's simply a matter of perception.
When you don't achieve an intended goal, then I simply ask myself okay well what have I gained out of this? There's no point feeling like you've lost anything because in reality you've always gained something.
