Goal Setting – 7 Simple Steps to make it real

Dear friend,


I have written something related to this before but I just want to dish out these seven step formula for setting and achieving goals that you can use for the rest of your life:

First, decide exactly what you want, in each area of your life. Most people don’t do this at all. Clarity is power. You need to be specific.

Second, write it down clearly and specifically. Make it measurable. A goal that is not in writing is merely a fantasy. It has no energy behind it.

Third, set a deadline for your goal and if necessary, set sub-deadlines. Your subconscious mind thrives on time-specific goals.

Fourth, make a list of everything you will have to do to achieve your goal. Add to your list as you think of new activities and tasks, which you will like to do. Keep adding to your list until it is complete.

Fifth, organize your list into a plan. Decide what you need to do first and what you need to do later. Decide what needs to be done before something else is done. Work and rework your plan until it is complete.

Sixth, take action on your plan immediately. Do something, do anything, but get started. It is amazing how many people fail because they don’t take action on their goals and plans.

Seventh, and finally, resolve to do something every day that moves you closer to your major goal no matter how little it is. This discipline of doing something every day enables you to develop and maintain momentum. Daily action increases your determination and gives you energy. This single resolution, daily action, can create a turning point in your life or career.

Once you have determined your goals and written them down, think about them all the time: morning, noon and night. Ask yourself how you can achieve them? Task your brain to think out a way and before you know it, opportunities to make your goal a reality will present itself.
