Focus is the name of the game to acheive your goal!
Goal Setting Foundations
If you want to reach your goals then you need to have a plan. You need to make a deadline. You need to know what you need to do reach that goal. Clarity is critical and action without passion will not get you your best results!
Whenever I talk with any one about a goal they want to acheive, I always remind them of the above rules to goal acheivement and I always ask them the below questions. These are questions that you need to ask yourself when setting out to pursue any goal.
1. “How bad do you want to acheive this goal?”
2. “What would you do to get there?”
3. ”How would you feel if you did not pursue this goal?”
These questions always help my clients to narrow their focus and assess their truest desires.
There is no way to hide a lack of passion. It will be very apparent. It will be apparent to you too if you ask yourself these questions.
I also always remind my clients that they must intensely desire this goal- the more energy and excitement attached to a goal then the faster it will materialize
7 Steps Towards Your Goal
1. Decide:
Decide exactly what you want. Ambiguity affects your focus. You need to know what you are after. Make your goal clear, specific, measurable and time bounded
DO NOT JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST. SUCCESS DOES NOT COME FROM HOPING.
a) I want to win Canada’s by 2012 and earn IFBB Pro Card Status.
b) I want to sell 10,000 copies of my DVD by August 2012.
Remember to value your time: If you wonder if something is a time waster then ask yourself. “ Does this move me in the direction of reaching my goal” If it doesn’t then get on task.
2. Put it in writing.
When you write you put into action the laws of attraction. It also gives you a sense of control and power which makes achieving the goal easier.
3. Be willing to pay the price.
For all we want there is a price to be paid. You must sow what you reap before you can reap what you sow.
4. Create a Plan.
Make a list of all you can think of that is needed to achieve your goal. Prioritize how you need to proceed to get there. Follow a “step 1,2,3” for each item on the list.
This will help you see possibilities you might have missed.
5. Take action on your plan.
Even if it is just a phone call or an email or 2 more minutes on the computer . Taking action builds on your guarantee of success.
6. Do something every day.
Everyday do something that moves you in the direction of your goal. This builds on the momentum towards the achievement of your goal.
7. Never give up.
Pick yourself up and dust yourself of. Don’t let obstacles hold you back. Failure breeds success.
