Does goal setting really work? Let's look at a study
conducted with the Yale Graduating Class of 1953. They
surveyed all students asking them if they had written goals
for their life: * 3% had put their goals in writing * 97%
had not written them down or had none at all! Twenty years
later, these same people were re-interviewed. * The 3% who
had written goals had 10 times the incomes than the other
97% combined! There is NO DOUBT about it - Goal Setting
Works! You must find a goal that truly inspires you,
something that will push you to do whatever it takes to
accomplish it. Goals keep you focused help you create your
vision.
A goal is merely a dream until it is written down.
The basics of setting a goal is an open secret known by
top-caliber athletes, successful businessmen and
businesswomen and all types of achievers in all the
different fields. The basics of setting goals give you
short-term and long-term motivation and focus. They help
you set focus on the acquisition of required knowledge and
help you to plan and organize your resources and your time
so that you can get the best out of your life.
Setting clearly defined short term and long term goals will
enable you to measure your progress and achieve personal
satisfaction once you have successfully met your goals.
Charting your progress will also enable you to actually see
the stages of completion leading to the actual realization
of your goals. This eliminates the feeling of a long and
pointless grind towards achieving your goal. Your
self-confidence and level of competence will also improve
as you will be more aware of your capabilities as you
complete or achieve your goals. The basics of goal
settings will involve deciding what you really want to do
with your personal life and what short term and long term
goals you need to achieve it. Then you have to break down
goals into the smaller and manageable targets that you must
complete in your way to achieving your lifetime targets.
Once you have your list waste no time in tackling your
goals.
A good way to have a manageable list is to have a daily and
weekly set of goals. By doing this you will be always in
the position of going towards you life plan goals. Everyday
will give you the opportunity to fulfill a certain goal
giving you the feeling of accomplishment.
Here are some pointers that should be taken into
consideration in setting goals and achieving them.
Attitude plays a very big role in setting and achieving
your goals. You must ask yourself "if any part of you or
your mind holding you back towards completing your simplest
goals?" Again ask yourself,"if there are any part of your
behavior that is being a hindrance or puts your plans into
disarray or self destructive? If you do have problems in
these areas then the immediate thing to do is to address
this problem. Solutions may include a visit to a doctor or
psychiatrist to control your emotions. Careers are made by
good time management practice. Failing in a career is often
attributed to bad time management. Careers require a lot
from an individual which often makes the career the life of
the individual. Plan now, how far do you want to go into
your career and business?
Education is the key in achieving your goals. If your goals
require you to have a certain kind of degree or require a
certain specialization or demand a certain skill to be
developed, make plans in getting the appropriate education.
Your family should never be left out of your plans. If you
are just starting out then you have to decide if you want
to be a parent or when you want to be a parent. You also
have to know if you really would be a good parent and how
well would you relate to extended family members
Personal financial situations also play a major role in
achieving your goals. Have a realistic goal on how much you
really want to earn. You also must be able to create plans
or stages by which you will be able to reach your earning
potential.
Physically gifted individuals may be able to achieve sports
related goals like being in the National Basketball
association or National Football League. Determining your
physical capabilities should be one of your priorities.
Physical limitations could however be conquered with proper
planning.
As the saying goes -'All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy', or something to that effect, is by all means true
down to the last the letter. Giving yourself a little
pleasure should be included into your plans.
To start achieving your lifetime goals, set a quarter of a
century plan, then break it down to 5 year plans then break
it down again to 1 year plans, then 6 month plans then
monthly plans, then weekly, then daily.
Then create a things-to-do list for the day. Always review
your plans and prepare for contingencies. The basics of
goal settings should not be so difficult once you get to be
familiar with them.
