Think of it as a ladder: You can't get to the top without climbing some rungs on the way.
By setting incremental goals that are achievable, one advances toward one's personal goals. When a goal is reached (defined at whatever level one wishes), then new goals need to be set.
This is how I see it, anyway. Your views may differ.

That puts me in mind of the old saying: "The journey of 1,000 miles begins with the 1st step." Joggers don't think "I have to run 10 miles in this race." They think "I have to run 1 mile 10 times." Likewise NaNoWriMo is impossible if you think of writing 50,000 words but if you think of writing 1,667 words each day you find it is achievable. I did it once in 28 days.
