A strange but effective method of goal setting

by Brian on


Hi there peo­ple. How are you all today. Today I want to share with you a very strange but effec­tive method of goal set­ting that I have learnt and it is from a guy named Ray­mond Aaron who seems to really know his stuff and he shares a method that I have never heard from any other suc­cess coach out there in the his­tory of per­sonal devel­op­ment and it is the MTO way of set­ting goals.

So I am sure you are won­der­ing what the MTO stands for and it stands for Min­i­mum, Tar­get and Outrageous.

So what he sug­gests is that you have a monthly goal and you divide it up into these 3 categories.

  1. Min­i­mum means that this is the least you can do right now based on your past expe­ri­ence on a goal.
  2. Tar­get means its a bit over min­i­mum but it is still a stretch
  3. Out­ra­geous means that you do not think you may be able to do it over the month

Here is an exam­ple to help you under­stand the con­cept better.

Right now I recently bought a mac and it has this really cool pro­gram called Imovie to make videos and edit them pro­fes­sion­ally so I want to learn how to use the pro­gram so that is my goal. Using the method I men­tioned before

M– Go to lynda.com and get Imovie tutorial.

T– Watch 5 videos teach­ing me how to use the program

O– Watch all videos and make a video for a friend demon­strat­ing how good I am in Imovie.

Now if you notice from the above exam­ple, the M is some­thing that is very easy to do and you should achieve it. The T was a lit­tle bit of a stretch but it is doable. The O is the hard­est of them all and may require you to do a lot more work.

The pur­pose of this exer­cise is for you to be able to at least get your Min­i­mum met each month and that may moti­vate you to even go after the Tar­get. If you are really zeal­ous you may achieve the Outrageous.

The good thing about this method is that it allows you to make some progress over the month rather than being like most peo­ple who never even take 1 step for­ward to the achieve­ment of their goal.

This is an excel­lent way to start writ­ing your goals now and begin to work on the min­i­mum each month and cel­e­brat­ing your small vic­to­ries which will one day add up to a lot of suc­cess in your life.
