Goal Setting For Success in Fitness and in Life!

Remember:

• You must have a plan, make a deadline and know exactly what you want to reach a goal.
• You must intensely desire this goal – the more energy and excitement attached to a goal then the faster it will materialize
• Clarity on your goal will help you achieve further insights on how to reach it.

7 Steps to your Goal

1. Decide:

• Decide exactly what you want
• Ambiguity affects focus
• Make your goal clear, specific, measurable and time bounded

DO NOT HOPE FOR THE BEST

Examples:

• I want to win Canada’s by 2012 and earn IFBB Pro Card Status.
• I want to sell 10,000 copies of my DVD by August 2011.

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.  Remember 100 goals or BHAG- Big Hairy Audacious Goals!!

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.

TOTAL COMMITMENT IS A MUST!!!!

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 treadmill.  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.  It makes you feel unstoppable!

7.  Never give up – Pick yourself up and dust yourself of.  This does not matter what the set back or obstacle.  It will happen sometime.  Failure breeds success.
