Drop Your Goals And Manage Your Life!
By Michel Fortin
Preface
ave you ever felt overwhelmed? Have you ever
tried to accomplish as much as possible but felt
you were going nowhere? Well, you’re not alone.
I felt like that many times in my life. And today,
unfortunately, many people who follow this “do-as-much-
as-you-can” philosophy never get to enjoy the really im-
portant things or the things that really matter.
Drop Your Goals and Manage Your Life!
is a book
dedicated to those kinds of people. It has served me well
and I have practically turned my life around because of it.
However, the ideas discussed in this book are not born
yesterday. Benjamin Franklin, Jesus, the Buddha, Socra-
tes, and Aristotle have also taught them in their own
times. However, it seems that they are now needed more than ever.
Enjoy the book. But most important, enjoy your life. To me, that’s the true
meaning of life. If the book has helped you as much as it has helped me, please
drop me a note. Write me or email me at

. I welcome
any comments or suggestions, even those I can use in future works.

Your Successfulness
“When we think of failure, failure will be ours. If we remain undecided,
nothing will ever change. All we need to do is to want to achieve some-
thing great, and then simply to do it. Never think of failure, for what we
think will come about.”
—

In fact, I used to be a go-getting, goal-setting, efficiency-minded, try-to-
get-as-many-things-done-as-possible type of person; the type that never seems to
have enough time for anything. And I do mean “used to be,” since one day the
answer to that million-dollar question became as clear as crystal.
You see, success is who you are right now at this moment, regardless of
where you’re going, what you do, or what you have. This might seem a bit ab-
stract to you, but the truth is that success is not what you think it is.
Since time immemorial, the word “success” has been long equated with
get-it-done-yesterday kinds of people. Especially in the entrepreneurial world in
which we are emerging where business success has taken over what we used to
call “job security,” success is highly over-hyped, excessively overtaxed, greatly
misinterpreted, and oftentimes frustrating if not self-effacing.
We now live in a world that encourages a results-oriented, “get-to-the-
point” mentality while at the same time we see some all too common themes ap-
pearing in our society. For instance, the family unit is slowly disintegrating. Peo-
ple are getting sicker and sicker. And crime statistically increases with every
passing year where they used to be low. These things, of course, are not success.
Strangely, success in some areas seems to parallel failures in others. As
time management guru Alec McKenzie once pointed out, we are now seeing in
today’s culture the rise of many “successful” failures.
I do agree that success can be measured in many ways. For instance, a per-
son may have achieved business success. Another may have won some important
competition. A corporate “soldier” may have earned a senior executive promo-
tion. And another may work long arduous hours in trying to make a living and
feel productive by accomplishing many tasks.

hat’s true success? What’s real, authentic, fulfilling success? Is it
achievement? Is it made of goals, efficiency, and deadlines? Is it the
kind that says, “The level of one’s success is measured by the depth of
one’s wallet”? I’ve asked myself that deeply intriguing question for many years.
Drop Your Goals And Manage Your Life!
By Michel Fortin
But in all of these cases, once they’ve achieved so much some people fail
in other areas, such as their marriages, the relationship with their kids, their health
(mental or physical), or, paradoxically, their businesses.
While less tragic but worst, some stop and wonder where their time has
gone or why they are not happy with what they have achieved up to now. They’ve
climbed the ladder of success and, as Lao Tse once said, “Discover that their lad-
der has been leaning against the wrong wall.”
Some achieve success and ask, “Why am I not happy?” “Where has my
time gone?” or, “I’ve worked hard (or all my life) for this?” In essence,
outer
suc-
cess can be (and most often is) the catalyst in creating a lot of
inner
turmoil. This
is why the kind of success I’m referring to, this true authentic success, is not what
a great many people think.
For instance, real success is not about achieving more, doing more, or get-
ting more. While that’s the way most people measure success, those things are
not
real for the measurement does not constitute the essence. Now, I know that some
of you may not agree with me, especially if you’re a goal-oriented, achievement-
minded type of person.
“Goals are essential to success!” is a rebuttal I’m often given in my semi-
nars. I do not mean to contradict and I certainly agree that goals are essential for
external
success. I used to be a high achieving salesperson with a daily planner
the size of my suitcase. With notes, to-do lists, project planners, goals, and date
tabs protruding the dog-eared pages of my day-timer, I was always doing more or
taking on more than what I can handle.
My defining moment, you might say, was when I lost everything; yes,
every major thing in my life. During one cold fall weekday in 1995, everything
happened in what seemed to be a matter of hours. The repo man came to take
away my beautiful, fully-loaded Honda. I was evicted from my three-bedroom
townhouse. My wife packed her bags, took my daughter, and left me. And then,
the lowest of the lows for any high achiever, I was forced into bankruptcy.
I had to start all over… Literally. Whether this has happened to you or not
is irrelevant. But if you have goals, live constantly in the future, and always seem
to never have enough time, then after you’ve given me the privilege to explain
myself you will probably discover that this book may in fact be one that you des-
perately need. Maybe your whole outlook on success will change. I hope it will.
