Time To Set Some Goals For The New Year
The New Year is quickly approaching and it's time for people everywhere to start setting new years resolutions.
Well instead of of resolutions set some goals for the New Year. Resolutions never last because they are not comprised of all the elements of the goal setting process.
I was able to compile the eight necessary steps in the goal setting process.
First of all goals have to be written. When you write out your goals it helps you to establish clarity about what you are trying to accomplish. You are actually putting in place a road map that's going to get you from A to Z. And most importantly, when you write out your goals something happens within the subconscious mind that causes you to react and bring those things into existence. Please don't miss that last point, because that's what the power of a written goal is all about. When you write them out the subconscious goes to work to make them happen as long as the other elements are in place.
2. Personal --- All your goals have to be personal. In other words they have to be your own goals that you set for yourself. I cannot set goals for anyone nor can anyone set goals for me. When they are personal you have a burning desire to accomplish them and when the set backs, and failures come, and they will come, you are more like to continue on the path of success and not give up.
3. Continual --- the goal setting process is continual ---- once you meet one goal you continue on with the next and next. You are always amending and changing your goals --- The goal setting process is not a hit and miss type of affair. You never stop setting goals.
4. Encompassing ---- You have to set goals in all six areas of life, including the mental, physical, social, spiritual, family, and career. I call this the circle of life.
5. Compatible --- your goals have to be compatible --- you cannot have a goal in one area of your life that is inconsistent with a goal in another area of your life.
6. Realistic/Believable ---- The goals you set must be realistic and believable --- If you are making $15,000 per year and your goal is to become financially independent next year based on that salary, well that's not realistic nor believable. And it probably is not going to happen.
It's does not mean you can never become financially independent, it just means you need to change some things; maybe you need a better job, or make some type of investments, talk to a financial planner, buy some real estate. So Financial independence should be a long term goal instead of short term
7. Specific --- Be very specific with what you are trying to accomplish. How much money do you want saved up? When are you going to have it saved? When will you start? Will you save weekly or monthly? How much will you save?
8. Workable --- Finally you must have a workable plan of action about how you intend to achieve your goals.
There you have it!!! Go out and set those goals and make 2007 the best year ever. Only 3% of the world has written goals and they are by far the most successful.
To Your Great Success.
