John Danaher On The Importance Of Goal-Setting: “Effort Is No Guarantee Of Success”

Maximizing your potential in Jiu-Jitsu is not just about showing up and training for the sole purpose of training itself.

But it is also – if not even more so – about having specific goals you’ll work towards…
So you actually know and understand what you want to achieve. And so you can then, well, achieve that.

John Danaher shared more about the importance of goal-setting in an interview with BJJEE:

A person without goals drifts through life, reacting to things that occur around them.
There is nothing wrong with that and, arguably, this a better way to achieve basic happiness or pleasure.

However, if you want to go further than simple happiness or pleasure, and make notable achievements, you must have a goal so that your life has focus.

In a world of a million possibilities, those who become remembered are those who can focus for a lifetime upon only one or two.

You must also craft a plan, relentlessly improving it as you learn from your experiences:

Understand that effort and sweat are no guarantee of success.
Only intelligently directed effort gets you past the myriad of obstacles that block your path to your goals.

And the single best basis for formulating such a plan is the trial and error method that forms the basis of the scientific method.

Test your theories and compare them with the evidence before you.
