There’s a moment during every graduation ceremony that feels almost magical.

Graduates walk across the stage. Families cheer. Cameras flash. Caps fly into the air. For a few moments, it feels like anything is possible.

Pressure to know exactly what comes next, to make the “right” decision, to somehow map out an entire future.

The biggest lie we tell graduates – and honestly, many adults – is this:

You should already have everything figured out by now.

The problem? Life rarely works that way.

Life Skills

Setting a goal is easy. Getting it is much harder. There’s a very simple technique you can employ to make getting them much more likely …

Share your goals.

When you tell other people about your goals, your “skin in the game” increases. Now other people can watch your progress.

You’ll feel some pressure that you may not feel otherwise. That’s the point. By sharing your goals, you run the risk of failing. More importantly, you run the risk of failing in front of others.

It’s a mental thing. We’re okay if we don’t live up to the commitments to make to ourselves. But we don’t like to let other people down. We want their respect. So we work harder to gain it, and keep it.

So if you want to succeed bigg, stick your neck out … share your goals with other people. People who you know will help you reach them.

Hear today's lesson and laugh on The Bigg Success Show.
