1.
Set Exciting & Realistic Goals
With a strong
goal, you will and can find the how and the where to achieve your goal.
When you're excited about your goal, it doesn't seem like work. If you're
not excited about it, your efforts will require more discipline and energy.
So, make sure it's YOUR goal. Make sure it excites you. And, then, act
enthusiastically.
2. Write
Your Goals Down
This is a
critical step. Don't just think it, ink it. When you write your
goals down, they appear not only on paper, but they become indelibly written
upon your consciousness.
3. Visualize
"See" that
your goal are already in existence. Nothing can withstand the power of
a clear, multi-sensory vision of what you are intending. What does it look
like? What will people be saying about it? How will you feel? The more
detailed and "real" you can make your vision, the more powerful it will
be. It will operate like a magnet and draw forth all kinds of things you
never thought possible.
4. Affirm
Your Success
Speak your
goal into existence. An affirmation is a present-tense, positive statement
of your intended outcome. I now have achieved _____________ (fill
in the blank). The more you can make your affirmations, the more effective
they will be. All of these techniques help you to feel the presence of
your goal and build belief.
5. Make
a Plan of Action
To achieve
and stay focused upon your goals, you must create an action plan. What
are the steps you will take to get you from where you are to where you
want to be? Your strategies will likely change as you go along. So, set
your goals in concrete. Keep your eye on the goal, but remain flexible
in your path to it.
6. Measure
Your Progress
You can't
change what you don't measure. So, create mechanisms that will allow you
to see your progress. Use charts. Log your actions. Use anything that will
encourage you to objectively track your progress.
7. Maintain
a Support System
Have a Master
Mind Group. Surround yourself with people who will encourage and challenge
you to achieve your goals. Be accountable to someone other than yourself.
Read positive books.
8. Focus
On Only a Few Goals at a Time
You can achieve
anything you desire, but not EVERYTHING you desire. Concentrate your efforts
and your energy on just a few. I might have dozens of goals and projects,
but I keep three key goals in the forefront of my mind.
9. Take
Action Every Day
An important
goal warrants daily attention. A 400-page novel is not written all at once.
To many, writing a 400-page novel would be overwhelming. But a little over
a page a day will get it done in a year. Every goal can be broken down
into doable tasks done consistently.
Upon Achieving
each of your Goal Celebrate Your Milestones
Mark your
successes and acknowledge yourself for your progress. As you achieve one
goal, you can see better and believe more easily in the accomplishment
of others. You deserve to succeed and you deserve to celebrate your successes.
If you work
hard enough and concentrate exclusively on the job at hand, you will have
neither time nor thought for worry. Set crystal clear goals, and set deadlines
to achieve them, followed by hard work to achieve your goals.
