The Goal Is To Have No Goals, But To Have...
- When you have goal, the route to it becomes a labour. Put it another way, it is too linear and anything linear is hardly fun or interesting.
- The imagination becomes closed to other possibilities. A goal limits your actions. There isn't room to exploreother pathways.
- The goal usually need to be precise and has time-limit. This is exact reason why goals backfire- they encourage us to focus narrowly.
As retail investors; you are answerable to
nobody except yourself and also there are no bosses to set S.M.A.R.T Goals or KPIs for you to achieve and reward you accordingly.

For investing goals; you avoid acting smart and be dumb by setting Stretch Goals or Band Range Goals.
