C-Type Goal
Bob Proctor is well known for helping people achieve big goals! He calls these goals, C-Type goals. They are your BIG dreams, the things that you TRULY want to be, do or have in life.
Through out his life, he found that goal seekers and goal setters are usually going after what they think they can get rather than going for what they truly want.
When I started working with Bob he kept asking me, What do you truly want? If money, time, and resource were not a limitation what would you like to be, do and have? This helped me to see more options and stop focusing on my circumstances or limitations.
As I share Bob's principles, I also realized that most people are not going after what they want. I guess is human nature to stay within our comfort zone, but if we don't streatch far enough we will not be able to discover what we are capable of.
