Goals Always Drift With The Wind

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Have you noticed that airplanes fly crooked?

Heading to their destination, winds attempt to blow them off course. That’s why pilots turn their aircraft into the wind. They call it Wind Correction.

The same thing happens when you set a Goal. While you would prefer the straight path, you will likely run into winds that will blow you off course.

Your spouse doesn’t agree with your plans. Your boss demands more hours. Your kids, friends, and responsibilities keep blowing you further away from your dreams.

It’s time to start thinking like a pilot.

Always set goals that factor in winds that will blow you off your course. Keep an eye on your final destination. Make small corrections until you get where you’re heading.
