In my continuing study of what makes people great, I've found many things consistent in all effective people, one of which is:

The ability to lock onto targets.

It's real easy to (especially if you're trained to) engage in actioning on something and if it doesn't go according to planned, give up.

The problem with that is achievement is rarely realized without massive failure, a ton of tries and calibration along the way.

I realized this "locking on" strategy worked so well when I stayed on course for about 4 months on one specific outcome. Having hit the target and then some.. it really sealed the deal for me and got me out of the old way of thinking.

In a book called "The Winners Brain" where, from a neuroscientific standpoint, the authors wrote about success and what people did in their heads to achieve it, one of the major factors was the ability to lock onto targets.

The results are there for all of us, if we can lock on, engage rapidly and massively, and calibrate along the way! Thanks for reading.

    I agree locking onto your target is very important, I also believe having strong motivations on why you need to get there and why you cannot fail are important too.

    Without the need to get there the target doesn’t have an importance, it’s like saying I’m going to visit Australia but not giving yourself a date.

    Thanks for another motivating post, RC!

    But I also agree with Scortillion - "locking on" without a plan followed up with the drive to make it happen is merely a wish.

    The former can lead to the latter. Buy staying locked on to your target you in turn staying focused and planning.
