Let me tell you a story about goal setting and flexibility in going toward your goals.

Many years ago I belonged to Los Angeles Athletic Club which is and old sports club (like a country club but in the city). One year I noticed that they had an indoor athletic competition called "Tour D’Iataly." It comprised of about five hundred miles of stationary bike, StairMaster, walking/running, rowing (on machine) and so on.

One had up to three month to complete the whole "tour." At first I though I could not do it but I thought I would give it a go. My goal was to complete it in less than the aloted three days.

So the starting day came and I did my best. There was a leader board and by third day I noticed that I was among the people doing reasonably well. I was flexible and changed me goal to coming in the top ten finishers.

By fifth day I was in the top ten and I changed my goal once more – this time to being in the top five and soon as I was still doing well I changed my goal to ending in the top three.

I continued doung well and ended in the second position. Immediately I had the goal of coming first the next year and I achieved that for the next two years (until my job changed and I was no longer commuting through down town Los Angeles and I left the club).

I’m not writing this to boast but just that a great part of goal achievement is to be flexible. So, this morning I decided to change my goal from one hundred HubPages in thirty days to fifty in a month.

Here is a link to one of the better hubs I wrote: It is on the same topic as this post – flexiblity in goal achievement.
