Thank you for reading my blog.
Have you ever wondered something like this?
“I have a goal, but I don’t know where to start…”
“I have time to study, but I don’t know what to do…”
Today, we would like to share with you the WCM method, which helps you clarify what you need to do now and how to achieve your goals.
Let’s check what exactly the WCM method is.
Conclusion
Let’s derive M from W and C and clarify what we should study now before we study.
- W = Will: Goals, what you want to achieve, what you want to be able to do in the future
- C = Can: What you can do now, skills you have now
- M = Must = W – C: What you should do now, what you should study
Examples
Example.1
- W(Goal): 10 thousand dollars in savings in 1 year
- C (what you can do now): salary take-home pay of two thousand dollars
- M (what you should do) = W – C: save about eight hundred fifty dollars per month = live on one thousand one hundred fifty dollars per month
Example.2
- W (Goal): Annual income of two hundred thousand dollars within 10 years
- C (what you can do now): Annual income of fifty thousand dollars (working for a company)
- M (what to do): Increase annual income by one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in 10 years
As it is, the span of “M (what you should do)” is 10 years, which is too long, and it is not yet clear what you should do now. Therefore, let’s break down “M” into short-term goals.

If we subdivide even the biggest goal into smaller pieces, we can realize that what we need to do every day is not that big of a deal, and we will not go off the path too far.
Of course, you can change course along the way, and the reason you can change course is because you can think this way in the first place.
–Postscript–
In this issue, we introduced the concept of “WCM”.
After all, what do we have to do first?
That’s right. It is to set a goal (“Will”). If you want to clarify what you should do now, first clarify your goal. It is no good to study blindly. After you have clarified your goals, use the method I have described to clarify what you need to do now.
Let’s review it once again.
Set your goal (“Will”) now. Then, decide when you will achieve that goal. Once you have done that, all you have to do is divide the difference between your current situation (“Can”) and your goal (“Will”) by the number of years. That is what you need to do now (“Must”).
It is up to you to decide how much you invest in your life, and the only way to do that is to accumulate “Must” every day. On the other hand, if you can accumulate daily
“Must”, your dreams and goals will naturally come to you.
Please make it a habit to clarify your “Must” in this WCM, and to fulfill your own “Must”.
Let’s all make our “Will” (goals) now our “Can” (status quo) in 5 or 10 years, and have even bigger “Will” (goals) in 5 or 10 years!
Everyone has the potential to become Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Ichiro, or Messi. What a dream life!
