Goal Setting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you take the time to set your personal goals, you should first figure out what you want. I mean\u00a0really want. Something you want so much that it gnaws at you. Something that keeps you awake at\u00a0night because it is something that will make a difference in your life.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you are tired of hitching a ride with your friends and\/or taking the bus. It\u2019s time to get your<\/p>\n

own car. However, you\u2019re going to need at least a $1,000 for a down payment and another $500 for\u00a0insurance. And that\u2019s not going to be easy, because you\u2019ve never been a good saver and right now your\u00a0savings account is almost empty. So you\u2019d better really want to do this because there is going to be pain\u00a0and failure along the way, so your desire must be strong enough to overcome all obstacles.<\/p>\n

Here then are some steps to effective goal setting:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If it\u2019s not in writing, it\u2019s not a goal, it\u2019s a wish.<\/li>\n
  2. If it\u2019s not specific it\u2019s not a goal.<\/li>\n
  3. It has to be believable. If you don\u2019t really think you can do it, you won\u2019t pay the price to do it.<\/li>\n
  4. It should be a challenge; it should push you beyond where you are.<\/li>\n
  5. Don\u2019t set short term goals for more than 30 or 60 days. Otherwise you\u2019ll lose interest.<\/li>\n
  6. Set activity goals not production goals. If your goals are production (end results), you\u2019re setting\u00a0yourself up for disappointment. In this example, you need to accumulate $1,500. The goal\u00a0should not be to save so much money every week. Instead your goals should be to execute the\u00a0activities that will enable you to put a certain amount every week. That means you need to\u00a0bring in more money and\/or spend less. So one goal might be to work 8 hours of overtime each\u00a0week. Another could be to eat breakfast at home instead of spending $7 or $8 every morning at\u00a0Starbucks. These are the kind of goals that you control and can be accomplished without relying\u00a0on others or luck.<\/li>\n
  7. Start today. Think about what you really want and write down some short-term goals that will\u00a0get you going in the right direction.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You\u2019ll soon realize that goal setting leads to goal realization which leads to new and more ambitious\u00a0goals which leads to more and more success.<\/p>\n
