Your time and your life are precious assets which are irreplaceable. By learning how to set good goals and then follow through until
those goals are accomplished, you will be able to achieve more than you ever before imagined was possible. All that’s required is that
you understand and then apply the principles of effective goal setting.
Lets Get started...
Understand your true potential
Irrespective of what you’ve achieved thus far in life, there are
quite literally no limits on what you can accomplish in the future.
The only limits are those you impose yourself.
Take responsibility for your life
Never blame others for where you’re at today. Instead, take
charge of your life. Assume full responsibility for everything you
think, say and do from this moment forwards and you’re on your
way towards achieving your goals.
Act as if you had no limitations
Never limit your thinking to what you currently have the
resources to do. Instead, plan your future as if there were no
limits to what you can do. You will always find the resources to do
whatever you’re most passionate about.
Be true to your personal values
Success will only feel good to you if it is aligned with your
innermost values and convictions. Take the time to think through
what your personal values are, and never deviate from them.
Decide what you truly want to accomplish
To increase the probability of achieving your goals, be clear and
specific. Decide what you truly want to accomplish at the
expense of all other options and work towards that objective.
Find your central purpose
You must have a major definite purpose – a single goal which
you have a burning desire to achieve. Know what that is and
you’ll have the key by which you can accomplish more.
Have positive beliefs
Your beliefs have a great impact on your feelings and
achievements. Analyze what you believe and make certain your
beliefs are positive and consistent with what you want to do.
Be honest about where you are now
Before setting a goal, be completely honest about where you’re
starting from. Determine your situation today and work to
improve your circumstances steadily from there, rather than
expecting to take a giant leap forwards in one large step.
Measure how well you’re progressing
Use sensible benchmarks and scorecards to measure your
progress on a regular basis. This act alone will enhance your
overall ability to achieve your goals.
Eliminate all your roadblocks
To succeed, you must master solving problems and removing
obstacles. These are skills that can be developed with practice,
and they are well worth the time, effort and attention.
Become one of the best in your field
You should set a goal to be within the top 10-percent of people in
your field. Set a goal to become one of the best and then work at
it every day until you achieve that status.
Link up with the right people
The people with whom you associate will have a direct bearing
on what you accomplish in life. Therefore, choose your friends
and mentors wisely. Build good business relationships.
Have a well-thought-out plan of action
An ordinary person with a plan will always out-perform a genius
without one. If you become good at planning and executing your
plans, you can achieve even big and complex goals.
Manage your time well
By applying good time management skills, you can double and
then triple your productivity. Before beginning anything, set
priorities and concentrate on the most valuable use of your time.
Review your goals each and every day
Take time every day to review and revise your goals. This simple
act will keep you on track and working towards what really is
most important for you.
Visualize your goals constantly
Your imagination is the preview of the upcoming events in your
life. Therefore, direct the movies of your mind. Center them on
mental images of success to move forward with power.
Learn to use your superconscious mind
All around you is a power that can help your dreams come true.
Tap into this power by learning how to activate and apply your
superconscious mind.
Stay flexible and light on your feet
You need to be clear about your goals but flexible about how
they will be achieved. That way you can take advantage of any
better, faster and cheaper ways that open up to you.
Use your inner creative talents
Everyone has the potential to be a creative genius. Learn how to
tap into your reserves of intelligence to overcome any obstacles
to the achievement of your goals.
Make some progress every day
Every single day, you should do something tangible that moves
you closer to what you want to accomplish. That will create
momentum that can and will propel you to greatness.
Stay with it until you succeed
Your ability to persist until you succeed is essential. Stay at it
longer than anyone else and you must achieve more than
everyone else. Resolve in advance that you will never give up.
GOALS!
