What Is Your Intermediate Goal? - 1
Did you ever see Jack Nicklaus play golf? He was a golfing
phenomenon never before seen in the world of golf, winning
more major championships and money than any other
golfer who ever lived. Yet if you watch him carefully, you
can learn more than how to lower your handicap. You can
learn a key strategy for success.
Each time Jack got ready to hit the ball, he'd have an
intermediate aiming point, just a short distance from the
ball. This intermediate aiming point was on line with the
route he wanted the ball to travel. He would look down the
fairway toward the green, then at the intermediate aiming
point, then at the ball. His first task was to get the ball to
pass over the intermediate point. If it did that, it would
probably land very near the point on the fairway or green
he had selected. It was always interesting watching his head
and eyes move to the intermediate point, then to the distant
point, then back to the intermediate point and back to the
ball.
When he was ready, and not a moment before, he would
uncork that legendary swing that left the gallery gasping
and whooping with admiration and wonder. The ball would
compress flat and be off and away on its considerable
journey. It was the same with his short irons near the green.

He always had an intermediate point with which he could
line up his club head and the ball. We need intermediate
aiming points, too, before we can successfully reach a
substantial distant goal.
To write a book, one must write the first chapter, then the
second, then the third, and so on. The book is first in outline
form. The chapters are roughly sketched as to subject
matter and content. One can get a mental picture of the
book in final form with its color dust jacket coming from the
printer; that's the goal. But first, there's that first chapter,
then the second, and so on. Each chapter must be
successfully completed as an integral part of the project
before the project's complete.
And it's much the same with our big goals. All we can see is
it as completed, with ourselves right in the middle of it.
There we are; the job's done. That's where we want to land.
But first there are the intermediate points to successfully
complete. And it's the intermediate points that often prove
too much or too difficult or too time-consuming for the
person to spend all that time completing and polishing.
These are often the core skills, vital to the completion of the

final project. Here we find the person who wants to amaze a
friend through his skill at the piano but doesn't want to put
in the time and effort to learn to play. This is the person
who's forever looking for shortcuts. He or she daydreams,
but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty of the
intermediate goals, ah, that's too hard or boring or time
consuming. Want to write books? How about mastering the
language first? Want to get rich in real estate? Study the
business first.
The first step of the successful person is commitment. There
are no ifs or buts about it. He or she is fully 100 percent
committed to the achievement of the goal and willing to
take whatever intermediate steps are required. When
bridges are burned, there's no escape route on which to
come tiptoeing back when things get rough. Commitment to
all the intermediate goals, 100 percent. When that
happens, the goal is as good as accomplished.
