Shark Tank star shares goal-setting practice that keeps him hyper-focusedShark Tank star shares goal-setting practice that keeps him hyper-focusedThe Peoples Shark Daymond John has a twice-a-day routine centered around his goals that keeps him swinging for the fences.Five days a week, before I go to bed and when I wake up, I read these 10 goals, he told Ladders. Six of the goals expire in six months, and the other four expire in two years, five years, 10 years, and 20 years.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreJohn first learned about the technique of goal-setting in one of his favorite books, Think and Grow Rich.The reason I read my goals before I go to sleep is that studies have shown that 80% when youre sleeping, youre thinking about the things you think will happen in the future whether its good, bad, or indifferent, John told Ladders. So I want that to be the last thing I think about.And he reads over his goals when he wakes up, too. Because then Ill hopefully take an action closer to each one of those goals when I wake up. I dont always do it, but at least its on the top of my brain as one of the actions to take.After six months, John assesses how far hes gotten to the goal and re-sets it. Or I cancel it and make a new one.His targets are deliberately set so high that I never get 100% on the way to a goal. I always get 20%, 50% of the way there.Its not attainable in one shot, but over the course of three years, five years, 10 years, it does become very obtainable. I surpass it.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people
