Goal setting is so misunderstood by so many. First of all a dream without goals is like a bird with no wings. It will barely get off the ground much less fly. You must have sound goals in order to obtain your dream.
Goals are the milepost and objectives that you intend to hit along the way towards getting what you want.
So, how can you make goal setting work in your life? Here are five tips that will help:
1- Get clear on what it is that you want to accomplish or obtain. Know what you want and be very specific about it. The clearer your objective is to you then the easier it is to hit it. Fuzzy goals lead to failure. One of the best ways to clarify your goals is by writing them down. When you can actually look at a set of objectives that you want to achieve then it makes it easier to keep your mind on what you want.
2- Determine what it takes to get it. Map out the steps that you have to take to go from where you are now to where you want to be. Make sure it is a doable plan. If you believe it is possible for you to take those steps then proceed to step 3. If the steps don't seem possible to you then you are going to have to break your plan down into smaller steps.
3- Establish a time-line for each phase of your plan. Put a date on the desired completion of each task. Remember a goal without a date of desired completion is just a wish. In order to make your dreams come to fruition you must establish goals with deadlines.
4- Set benchmarks that you must hit on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis in order to accomplish your goals. What is the work that you need to do? And how much of it will it take? The answers to these questions will determine what your work goals are.
5- Stay focused on consistently doing the work. Do not get discouraged by slow results. If your plan is sound and your work is consistent then it's just a matter of time before you will get what you want. Just continue to do the necessary work to hit the goals that you have set for yourself and let your plan play out. |
