Ask any successful person how they set goals for themselves and you will get a perplexed look similar to the one Tiger Woods has when someone asks him “Tiger, how come you’re so good?”
It is never about the goal setting. It’s more about the simple next step, accomplishing and executing one more thing, and then re-doing, improving even that one thing. Only after that is achieved, do you move to the next plateau or open up the next gate.

Could not agree more. In 12 step recovery programmes they have this worked out to a fine art. Ask successful members how they do it, and they say, “One day at a time”.
The trick is in innovating just as the plateau starts to level off with a new sigmoid, on the assumption that you had already been on one and on the growth slope before you started the plateau process. Failing which, you will not stay plateaued, but will start the downward slope on the sigmoid curve.

Hi Rummy…I was feeling curmudgeonly when I wrote this post today, and the best curmudgeon of all time IMHO is the ficitional Archie Bunker, of ALL IN THE FAMILY tv fame.. There may be a slight resemblance, however.
