I’ve recently learned a new goal setting method from Raymond Aaron, a renowned business and life coach in America. This method and all his other concepts and ideas greatly resonate with me and made me buy his book almost instantaneously! It’s called “Double Your Income Doing What You Love”.

So, what’s the method? It’s the MTO method!

M: Minimum

T: Target

O: Outrageous

Raymond explains that when you set your goals, you should break them down into 3 levels, namely M, T, and O. Here’s how it works:

Let’s say you want to work out 3 times a week, for the rest of your life, beginning from this week. Your minimum goal should be set to 1 session per week, target should naturally be 3 times / week, and finally outrageous goal would be something like 5 sessions a week (or every day if you’re really ambitious!).

The idea here is that as much as most people strive to hit their target consistently, they might falter once and miss their goal. They might feel defeated and guilty because of that, and give up entirely. But once you apply the MTO method, even if you don’t hit the target, you would feel good because you’ve at least hit the minimum goal (it’s so easy!). And if you manage to hit the target consistently, you might decide to try and strike your outrageous goal once. It’d be an awesome experience.
