Minnie Dlamini-Jones took to Twitter today, 14 July 2020 to offer some advice to her followers. The recently-turned 30-year-old, revealed that she had planned to buy herself an expensive watch for her milestone birthday, but then decided that she would rather invest the money in something else, as she didn’t quite achieve the goal she had in mind.
She claimed that when she was younger, her goal was to earn her first million before 21-years-old – which she achieved- and thereafter began setting goals for herself, which she then rewarded with extravagant purchases.
She went on to advise her followers that it was okay to shift your mindset from time to time, and you should not feel like a failure, if you are not successful in meeting your goal.

Just because I didn’t buy the watch doesn’t mean I didn’t achieve my goal. I ended up getting myself something far more valuable. We get stuck with tunnel vision & sometimes the goals we set are just a stepping stone for something greater. Don’t be afraid to shift the goal post!
