Another Year Has Whizzed By…
Even though I sit here recognizing a few things I would have liked to have done better, I am not bothered because I have enjoyed many successes that are a direct result of the big goals I set for myself at the beginning of the 2016 year. YEAH!!!! goal tips
Every year-end I carve out time to reflect upon my previous year. Taking note of the many successes and learning from the failures and unaccomplished goals. I have a document on my computer that houses all of this invaluable data which has proved to be a gold mine for me and my clients as I replicate these documented success strategies.
GOAL SETTING is the most effective way to take your life in a desired direction.
Whether you’re unhappy with the way things are now, or you just know deep down that you were destined for more, goal setting can set you up to actually accomplish any goal you want I life, IF IT IS DONE RIGHT…
Goal setting is a great way to focus your energy and effort on tasks that will bring you specific results, but in order for you to make real progress with this effort; you need to follow a process that will help to ensure your GOAL SETTING SUCCESS.
What would you accomplish if you knew you could not fail?
Most of us are brought up to avoid rocking the boat or upsetting the status quo so we don’t push ourselves to set big goals for our businesses in fear that we may face opposition. We are also brought up to root for the winning team or to strive to be #1 at everything we do, and we are never taught to find more value in the process, than in the end result. We forget that it is better to run the race and not win, than to never run the race at all so we stop dreaming or we dream too small.
TIP #1 DREAM BIG
With the fear of failure, we sometimes set out to accomplish small, safe and easily achievable goals. Why even bother? If you want to help a lot of people, make great money and enjoy a more fulfilled life, you need to set great big goals with the belief that there is no way you can fail. This way, even if you do fall a bit short of your goal, you are still miles ahead of where you would be otherwise.
TIP #2 SET BIG GOALS
A simple plan to give you spectacular success!
A critical step in the goal setting process, and unfortunately the step that most people fail to take, is to create a diligent achievement plan. A plan to define the actionable steps needed to transform your goals into reality.
Your plan does not have to be a complicated one with 110 steps. I have seen over and over again how the simpler plans are the most effective. I have also seen and experienced firsthand that it is way too hard for us to create our own EFFECTIVE plans. Just like it is hard for us to accurately proofread our own writing. We can’t look at our own businesses from an inside perspective and create a plan that will bring us the best success.
I urge you to get help with this step either on an ongoing basis or as a one-time service. If you hire an expert to help you create your business strategy plan or road-map for your business growth, you will make more progress, quicker and more effectively than you ever could on your own.
With proper execution, you can achieve every goal every time.
Achieving your goals takes discipline, and that discipline will lead to effective habits. Having the discipline to create effective habits will take your life in the direction YOU want and not in the direction others are telling you.
TIP #3 TAKE ACTION
I hope these tips will help not only in setting goals but also in achieving whatever it is you want in life.
