    You have to set goals that will stretch you. For me it's about looking at what my key capabilities are and my core skills and matching my massive goal around that. The bigger your goal the bigger the challenge but hey that's half the fun.

      I always refer to this quote: "aim for the eagles, hit pheasant, and you won't eat crow"...

      Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the concept has worked well for me over the years.

        How about just going for a goal that would make you feel baffled/astonished if you got it?

        For me being scared of a goal is just resistance. Even if i have action steps where i know what to do, this is just something I'm feigning to accomplish due to the fear within actually attaining it.

        In my experience that type of goal isn't something i would end up getting because of that negative emotion attached to it. By it's very nature i won't really be going after it.

        But to answer the OP...i detach from the goal entirely. Make it so that internally it's fine whether or not i get the goal, just do the action steps toward getting it anyway to "see what happens".

        For me personally i have had miracles happen when i felt emotional neutrality toward a goal i was pushing toward.

        I liken this to my experiences in high school where i had group projects. Sometimes i would be the only person motivated to work on the project and so i did all the work. But it ended being so much work that i felt over loaded and i ended up saying "f--k it...if i don't get an A it was my best shot".

        I didn't realize it back then but releasing the tension within the goal helps me attain it. It's paradoxical to everything we've been taught for goal setting; you need to feel energized and passionate about the goal, but this is seriously how i attack things now.

        My experience has been almost 100% contrary to what a lot of self help experts proclaim as "truth". Another way to describe this process is "trust and surrender"...a spiritual concept of trusting that things will happen as intended anyway, then surrendering any doubt or resistance you might have internally preventing its complete fruition.

        I may have over-answered your question (and it likely isn't want you're looking for at all lol), but I'm just being honest. This is what i am currently doing it's working gangbusters for me right now

    A goal that makes me step outside of my comfort zone is usually one that is 'massive' and requires real effort. Simple goals such as 'saving money' are not really much of a challenge. Climbing Mount Everest would be as it's not something I have experienced before. Most likely I would pick something in between those two for maximum effectiveness.

    I use three rules for thinking big.

    1) Add a zero to your numerical goals
    2) Remove all dates and replace with ASAP!
    3) Factor failure

    For example:
    Let's say I want to make $100,000 a year; instead I'll aim to make $1,000,000 ASAP! and just fail miserably like I usually do anyway (so I may as well factor it in). Factoring failure respects reality while still achieving a magnificent end result even if I "failed" in the casual observer's eyes. Works for me.

    Most people set achievement goals then fail, then quit.

    A better approach is to set ACTION goals. So instead of saying "I will make 10 sales today", say "I will write 10 articles today. i.e. set goals defined in terms of what you have control over, thus you can commit to doing those, and keep on winning.

    Obviously, you need to compare you actions with the results they are getting (or not getting) every now and then, as long as you remember to define goals in terms of actions which you can control, rather than results which depend on what other people do.

    I think that we must be realists and put goals that in line with what is available and not just dream dream dream and in the end we find ourselves can't reach our goals and this is simply because we don't put steps that we can do

    Aim for a goal that you would choose if you had endless confidence in yourself and you believed that there were no limits. I try to look at my goal from an unrealistic point of view and then I figure out a realistic way of achieving the goal.

    For example, I will start a new business and make a goal such as $1,000 a day in 30 days. The reason I do this is so that I will create an action plan to reach $1,000 a day in 30 days, which may or may not work, but at least if I come up short I might end up with $250 a day or even $500 a day.

    I believe children are the best goal-setters. A child will tell you with full certainty and belief that he/she will become a movie-star or a professional athlete. Now, it is unrealistic to say that you will become those things over-night, but with the right plan of action and daily commitment, you can become anything you put your mind to.
