A short personal reflection by Mark Evans DM about his early goal to earn $100,000/year and the importance of action over merely talking about goals. He contrasts his own progress-oriented approach (using a "Goal Formula") with people who repeatedly state larger goals but fail to act and even regress financially over time.
I remember laying in bed when I was 18 years old, I wanted to make $100,000 a year. That's the thought. And then I put it into Goal Formula. I shared with you how I do that. But my big frustration is I talk to people 10 years from now, and they're like, I can't wait to make 250 a year. I'm like, wait, 10 years ago, you told me you wanted to make a million a year. Now you're at 250 a year. Why are you going backwards? It's because they're just talking. They're not doing. If you see people that are, like, stagnant and going down, you're going to realize that they're just talk, not do. And that's always my fear with all this stuff.
