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.
