  • 1. Chris

    Chris was stuck in a dead-end job selling shoes. He was afraid he’d never reach his goal of becoming an airplane pilot. He thought, “It’s just too hard and complicated. Maybe someday.”

    Then he found and tried this Goal Action Tool, he realized he didn’t need to write a full plan first. He didn’t need to learn all the regulations. He didn’t need to save a lot of money first. Instead, he picked one small action step he could do that day: Schedule a free introductory flight lesson.

    After he called and set the appointment, he stepped outside, looked up at the sky and laughed. He thought, “I still think it might be hard to reach my goal, but I’m actually taking a step.”

    2. Shawn

    Shawn had so many exciting startup ideas swirling in his head that he felt frozen and exhausted. Instead of making progress, he spent his days watching YouTube videos and chatting with AI tools about business ideas. His favorite excuse was, “I keep changing my mind on what I want.”

    Using the Goal Action Tool, he chose one clear business goal: start a custom advertising painting service for small local businesses like dentists, cafés and gift shops. He would make their buildings attract positive attention.

    For his real-world action step of the day, he called 10 local business owners to ask if they might be interested in his painting work. To his surprise, one gallery owner said yes and asked him to come in and talk.

    For the first time in months, Shawn stopped overthinking and started moving forward with one solid decision.

    3. Jill

    Jill was busy, popular and the life of every party. On social media, she had over 1000 friends and followers and always looked happy and successful. But privately, she was broke, in debt, and facing eviction from her apartment.

    After reading "How to Set Exciting Goals," she realized she had no goals that made money or actually helped anyone. She then used this tool to set three income-focused goals. Her first goal: “Become a paid influencer who promotes valuable products I believe in.”

    Her first action step was simple but uncomfortable: she called her hairdresser and offered to promote her shop in exchange for a percentage of new client bookings.

    Her hairdresser said, “Interesting. I need more customers. I’ll think about it.” Jill had taken a responsible step. Instead of just hoping things would somehow work out for her, she was taking control and knew she could make money now.
