By the end of this article,you need to use the steps to set your personal, professional and relationship goals.
1.
You must first of all have a strong and personal burning desire to achieve your goal without any fear. Whatever you think about, plan around and desire continuously, will grow until it becomes so strong that it pushes away all your doubts. (Make sure they are positive thoughts!) You need to get to the point where you eat, drink, live, and sleep with your goal until your subconscious mind gets a hold of it. Your desire becomes Burning when nothing on earth can stop you from achieving success.
2.
Your goal has to be believable at first. You must also have faith that you will achieve it. For example, don’t set a goal to loose 30 pounds in 2 weeks. Instead tell yourself that you will loose 5 pounds in the next 2 weeks. After you have lost the 1st 5 pounds, then set a new goal for another 5 pounds and so on. Make it gradual and intensify it as you meet your goals.
3.
Write your Goal down to intensify your desire. It must be clear as day, exactly as you would like to see it in reality. Leave no detail out. Don’t spend time worrying about how it will be accomplished or the process just yet. I will expand on this at the end of the article.
4.
Write down what you will benefit from achieving your goal. How much satisfaction will you receive? Do you crave respect and recognition? Do you want to be a motivator? Do you desire to help people? The more reasons you have, the more motivated you will be to succeed.
5.
Analyze your starting point. For example, how much do I weigh now, or how much am I worth today? This way you can measure your progress as you go along.
6.
Set a deadline for tangible and measurable goals, as personality or character goals may take longer. From a 6 month plan, for example, set a mini goal of 3 months to another mini goal of 1 month and so on. If you miss your deadline, don’t be disappointed. Just set another one. It means you are not fully ready yet.
7.
Make a list of all obstacles that stand between you and your goal. From the biggest to the least and work to overcome them. Focus on the biggest one first and find out if there is something you have to do with yourself to overcome it, if it is an internal issue or do you have to change your environment, because it is external.
8.
Identify the additional knowledge you will need to reach your goal, acquire more skills and overcome the obstacles you listed above. Utilize for example books, seminar,webinar,a consultant, etc.
9.
Make a list of the people’s help or cooperation you will need in the process. For example, your family, your boss, etc. Make sure these people are compensated in order for them to help you reach your goal. Do more than is expected for them.
10.
Make a plan. Write out in detail what you want, when you want it, where you are starting from, and the people that will help you achieve it. You now have all the information from the steps above. List all activities from 1st to last in order of priority in your plan. Your plan may have defects, but you can always amend it in the process, till you have a plan that works.
11.
Visualize the plan clearly as if the goal has already been achieved. Replay it over and over again to believe it and make it a part of your subconscious mind. Look for the link at the end of this article that will show you exactly how.
12.
Do something every day to meet your goal and give yourself a pat on the back for small victories. Make a decision to never give up. As long as you refuse to quit, you will eventually succeed!
