Well intentioned video, but this can easily backfire and cause more harm than good. I'll give 2 examples as to why. I'm in my late 30's, a few months ago I found some old plans and goals that I'd written in my early 30's. They were all about how I'd be a millionaire by the time I was 36. Not only am I NOT a millionaire, I'm actually in worse shape than when I wrote them. Seeing those goals just sent me into a spiral of depression that I wouldn't have had if I'd never written them. The 2nd piece of evidence I have is this channel itself. James says that striving for 100 subs in a year is a weak goal, but he started posting content a year ago and is now at 198 subs. Whereas a strong goal would have been hitting 10k, 100k, or even 1mil subs in that time. Setting goals is good, but aiming too high can actually harm you more than anything.

I will tell you why you shouldn't set a goal like "earn £100k a month". 1) You will fool yourself into thinking that such grandeur is in your future and it actually makes you lazy. You will convince yourself that it is inevitable. 2) Saying you will earn £100k won't make it so when you have zero idea how to achieve it. You can't manifest wealth. 3) When you enviably fail and realise that you have an ordinary life, you are going to develop mental health problems. 4) Walking about thinking you are cut out for greatness makes you arrogant and aloof. This will damage friendships and make you turn down "lesser opportunities". 5) Your statement is a dream ... escapism. A discontentment at your current reality. If you don't address this, you will dream away your future. Get a grip.

Thanks for the feedback - really helpful! You're correct - you can't manifest wealth - that is why I promote taking action in almost every video. However, you need purpose and motivation to take that action, so setting a big goal can help. Also, your mention of 'escapism' is very interesting. I'll definitely think about this more as well as your other points - I'm still learning too!

@jameswa3366 Just because you've read a few self-help and personal development books, it doesn't mean you should spout a load of bollox off on here. Happiness is found within, not through material possessions or looking for acceptance and validation. How's that for motivation?
