Sample 1

I have made many goals in my life, and I have tried my best to achieve them because until you give a hundred per cent to a goal, you cannot reach it. One such goal is worth mentioning regarding starting a new venture. It happened five years ago with the coronavirus pandemic and a lockdown.

I lost my job, and I was sitting at home. So, for the first two months, I didn’t do anything, and after that, I decided to do something. Based on my skill set, I formed a digital marketing agency and started looking for clients. Initially, finding clients was a difficult task, and for that, I did many things, such as calling a mutual corporation, but I failed. Then, I started offering my services for free, and I got a lot of clients for three months.

I worked for free for them, and many were so happy with my services that they gave me repeated business. Still, this time, they paid me, so this is how I achieved my goal, and I felt perfect about it because I did something beyond the conventional domain rather than chasing people and spending on many advertisements. I let the people chase me because when I offered the services for free, I got a lot of queries. This technique worked like a charm, and I earned a boatload of money.

Follow-ups

1. Do people in your country set goals?

Although goal setting is integral for success, many people in my country shy away from setting goals. When you place a goal, you have to plan and execute it, and most people procrastinate, so that’s why they do not tend to set goals.

2. Do people usually set long-term goals or short-term ones?

People usually set long-term goals because their planning is related to their love life after 3 to 5 years, so they shy away from short-term ones and focus on long-term goals.

3. Why is setting goals important in the workplace?

Setting goals is very important in the workplace because the goals provide you with a blueprint and venue, followed by determination, dedication, and discipline, and you lead your life towards an impressive growth trajectory.

4. What is the difference between the goals that older adults and young people set?

The goals of young people are more emotional, and they tend to over-push themselves when setting goals. So, most of the goals are not realistic. At the same time, older adults’ goals are realistic. They have a definite plan, and they execute it to perfection.
