The Importance of Changing Your Goals as Time Progresses
A few days ago, I posted a few of my goals for this year.
7 days into 2010, I learned that one of my goals will not get completed this year. Yes, I received my “not admitted” letter from the Babson College MBA program earlier this afternoon.
Pretty upsetting.
Anyway, the greatest aspect of goal setting is that they are personal. The only person they matter to is you. Because of this, you have the opportunity to change or update your goals each day.
I know I will not be living in Boston from May until 2012. This creates the potential for a mini-retirement in an exotic country after the successful launch my current projects. My current mission remains to establish and automate three companies before the end of the year. Instead of doing so to attend Babson, I am now doing so to create time for a mini-retirement in Taiwan. I hope to use this trip to learn local customs and return to the US with some new business ideas.
It is never a nice feeling to get rejected from anywhere. What matters is your mindset and how you respond. I intend to use this disappointment to fuel my fire behind my plans for the next few months.
