John Danaher Explains Why It’s Necessary To Have Goals (If You Want To Become Successful)

So you want to become successful, be it in Jiu-Jitsu or in life?
Well, if that’s the case, then the first thing you need to figure out are the goals you’re going to set for yourself.

John Danaher explains why this is the case:

A person without goals drifts through life, reacting to things that occur around them.
There is nothing wrong with that and, arguably, this a better way to achieve basic happiness or pleasure.

However, if you want to go further than simple happiness or pleasure, and make notable achievements, you must have a goal so that your life has focus.

In a world of a million possibilities those who become remembered are those who can focus for a lifetime upon only one or two.

But then again, having goals isn’t enough either. You also have to craft a plan:

Understand that effort and sweat are no guarantee of success.
Only intelligently directed effort gets you past the myriad of obstacles that block your path to your goals.

And the single best basis for formulating such a plan is the trial and error method that forms the basis of the scientific method.

Test your theories and compare them with the evidence before you.

And yes… You’ll also need discipline and adaptability to achieve your goals.
John Danaher explains more on these two requirements in our interview with him.
