Attack Your Goals With Gazelle Intensity
I first heard this phrase from Dave Ramsey, who talks about attacking your debt with Gazelle Intensity.
(Gazelle's can run up to 60mph in short bursts).
The idea is to work as hard to get out of debt as a gazelle works to run from a cheetah.
But I also find this phrase helpful in other areas – goals. You can attack a goal with Gazelle Intensity.
I did this to grow my Facebook group.
I zeroed in on the most important actions I would need to take, and then I went for them like my life depended on it.
Every single day for several months, I took action toward growing my Facebook group.
Not just any action – intense action.
I wasn't realistic at all.
I got my group in front of hundreds of eyes every single day and invited them to join.
And it worked in my favour.
Because when you set realistic goals, you don't have to rise to the occasion – you just get to be the same old you, who gets the same old results you usually get.
When you set impossible goals, you have to rise to meet the challenge, like a gazelle running from a cheetah.
What goal do you need to attack with gazelle intensity?
