Goal Vs Outcome

 An outcome would be, to earn a crore rupees in the next year.

A goal would be the idea to work upon which will get you that outcome, for example, to make a course and sell it to a crore people.

Many people do not understand the difference between these two and hence end up only having an outcome in mind. A goal is the way to achieve that outcome you desire. 

Goal is action oriented and something you deliver to the world in form of an idea or a product or a service.

Any outcome you desire is an output of give and take. You can not expect an outcome if you do not deliver something. Find that something within you and unlock your potential. Create it into a service or a product or should I say an asset. Wrap it in a brilliant deal that no one can deny. Once you give that to the world, the world will bring you your desired outcome.

You need steps?

1. Write down what do you desire in life. This sets the outcome. (For example, I want to earn a million)

2. Make an extensive list of what you are naturally good at. (For example, painting, coaching, singing, writing, giving advice, etc)

3. Choose a few things from the above list you love doing.

4. Think about what can you create (service/product) using your skills you chose in above steps. Take your time, sometimes even weeks. (For example, a pre-recorded course on “how to paint 101”)

5. Create a goal to deliver your creation to the world. ( For example, I will record and ready my course and sell it on Mastermind, Udemy, etc)

6. Break down the goal to smaller do-able milestones and deliver.


This is just an outline of how you think clearly about your future and achieve what you desire. Of course there are several steps in the middle, like marketing your product, editing your product/service, etc. But if you start working on the above steps I mentioned, you will have a clear mind on what you want and a path to get that.


Let me know if you have any thoughts or if you desire to get more clarity on your own personal goals.

Why am I a Professional Listner?

 I was wondering what and when was the best conversation of your life? Did it include listening? Did it include curiosity and questions? Was it full of awe? Did the conversation go deep? Did you lose track of time?  If you can’t remember, then you probably haven’t had such a conversation yet. And through this blog, I am giving you, an opportunity to have the best conversation of your life. If you have experienced such a conversation, then this an opportunity to feel good about it, and become aware, so that each conversation you have from now on is as powerful! Even the ones that seem irrelevant to you at the moment. We all know someone, who just wants someone to listen to him/her. She doesn’t want any solution or any inputs. She just wants to be heard. I was curious, is it your partner? Is it your parent? Is it your child? Is it a friend? A colleague? It started similarly for me. I wanted to be heard but while everyone else was talking, I felt lost and unheard. That’s when dec...

Circle of Concern- Circle of Influence

Humankind has evolved to a level where we care about things more than ourselves. We care about the environment, we care about the world, we care about our society. We have become more empathetic towards things around us and things far from us. We start to confuse between what we can and can not control. Things we can not control does not let us sleep. We are for sure better human beings, but with care comes worry and chaos. We start to sabotage our daily life with things we can not control. We need to become proactive instead of reactive. We need a tool to understand the things we worry about and take proactive steps towards it. (To read about being proactive, go here ) Such a tool is Circle of Concern-Circle of Influence. If you see the image below. Imagine the outer circle COC, consists of all the things you care about. It might be from what people say about you (if you care), how government is not taking care of the crimes, fire in nearby building, school, office, bed sheet you...

There are certain values that lie in the core of us. My personal core values are Serve Grow and Inspire. There are other values which helps us fit into society. Like- Respect elders, Be nice, Honesty, Education, Dignity, Quality of Life, etc. Another set of values to keep a balance between both.  One of those values is Resilience.  Read on to know what I mean by this. While growing up, we adopt the values of the society such as 'respecting elders, be a good student, be honest, agree with what friends are saying, stay with the herd or you will get hurt' These are some of the (un)spoken values we adopt. At one time or other, society values or the values of the home we're part of- may make us unhappy. This is when we start looking out of alternatives. This is when we feel like we do not belong. We start doing things secretly to be ourselves. We stay up at night because only then we can be ourselves. The value we seek is happiness and safety to be ourselves.  For example...
