To hit a
target, you need to first have one. How can you continue talking about being
successful when you can’t or don’t even define what success really mean to you.
If you care to know and accept the truth, you only wish to, you don’t want to
and you can’t get it by mere wishing, you have to decide that you truly want
it. You need to set a target; you need to set goal. “Success is goals and
all else is commentary” says Brain Tracy.
Within your
goal is a clear written view of what you want and how to get it and when to
achieve the set goal. You will agree with me that it is impossible by wishing,
not even meditating. Meditating is to conceptualize, written it is to decide
you want what you meditate about which becomes you goal.
A lot have being
written about goal setting, one thing is certain, no one ever fail to inform
that the beauty of any goal is in written it down and have the opportunity to
read it to yourself everyday. Not only that, you have to start working on it
immediate and do something on it everyday, no matter how little it may be.
The Goal
Setting Process
Just as many
have being written about setting goal, so also is the process of setting and achieving
it. When it comes to goal setting, I advise you make it as simple as possible
as lay down below;
1.
Decide what you
want: Meditating is part of goal setting, which is when you have the
opportunity to decide and be definite about what you want. For instance, in
your financial goal, you have not decided, if you only think you want a lot of
money. You have to state the exact amount you want.
2.
What will you
give in return: Yes, there is no such thing as something for nothing, you have to
be sure of what you need to sacrifice or provide to achieve you goal. Still
using the financial goal as example; what products, service or simply value
will you provide to achieve the amount you want?
3.
Be time
conscious: It’s not a goal until you decide on the exact date you want to
possess it. Aside from the psychological effect, you will also be able to set
plan towards the goal within the time frame.
4.
Back up your
goal with Plan: You should further split the goal into smaller units as a definite
plan to achieve your goal.
5.
Create an
affirmation around your goal: Write out a
clear and distinct statement of your achievable goal stating; exactly what you
want, when you want it, what you need to do to get it, and the plan you put in place to get it.
6.
Reminder: You
need to put your written statement where you can read it to yourself at least
twice a day preferable in the morning and before going to bed at night with
strong imagination of being in possession of it. I advice in these age you set
a reminder: sms or email.
7.
Action:
Start implementing your plan immediately no matter how small, you don’t
have to procrastinate.
There is a
quality required to achieve any desire that is I don’t need to mention in the
point above that you need to know; the power of perseverance. It should be part
of your goal that given up is not an option if you fail in one way or the
other. According to Napoleon Hill “The primary reason for failure is that
people do not develop new plans to replace those plans that didn’t work.
