Key Takeaways from the Goal Gradient Effect:
- Awareness: Overstanding the goal gradient effect helps you recognize why you might be slowing down and motivates you to push through to the finish line.
- Continuous Improvement: Setting new goals, even after achieving one, can help maintain motivation and prevent the plateau that often occurs once a goal is reached.
The closer you get to your goals, the more likely you are to slow down. Grant Cardone discusses this in his book, explaining that as you get closer to achieving your target, your brain begins to think it has already accomplished the goal because you've visualized it so much. The challenge is to push past this mental barrier and maintain your momentum.
