Goals
are a great tool for motivation.
But if you don't use them correctly,
they can also be a source of frustration. Goals are only empowering if
they are used properly. So how do you make a goal into something that is
a benefit for you?
Goal-setting strategies are important
especially for to help you create the type of success you desire and
deserve. Here are five goal-setting techniques to help you realize them.
1. Balance Your Goals:
In your life you will
have personal development goals, personal finance goals and things
goals. Don't neglect any of them. It is ok to want things, but don't
forget to balance those pursuits with your own growth as a person. All
of these goals are important so be clear about all of them and make them
real for you.
2. Plan Actions From Your Goals:
Goals
are not items for your to do list. Your goal is what you are striving
for. Plan specific actions that lead you towards those goals. Use the
goals to provide your compass for those actions. When you plan actions
for the day you can easily tell if they're going to be effective if you
have clear goals to compare them against.
3. Share Your Goals:
If
you were an archer, would you keep it a secret that your goal is to hit
the bull's-eye? Too many keep their goals a secret. Share your goals
with people who will support and encourage your aims.
4. Write Down Your Goals:
Make
your goals real by recording them. Put copies of your goals on index
cards and keep copies in the car and in the bathroom and review them
regularly. Make them the centre of your focus. Don't just set them and
then ignore them.
Your goals are like a compass to tell you which way to
go. The exciting part is that you get to chose the alignment of your
compass.
5. Don't Give Up:
Your goals and the
actions you take to get them are different things. Don't be afraid to
try something, fail and try something else. Take effective and massive
action to meet your goals and understand that any true goals will take
many steps to achieve. Sometimes you will make a misstep, but that
doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the goal.
Everyone makes
mistakes, but it's only those who abandon their goals who don't achieve
them.
